Baguio (Continued)

May 31st, 2008 · 2 Comments

The next day, we had a late breakfast. It was raining outside when we started. After breakfast, three of us went to the public market to buy pasalubong. Since we were going to Vigan after Baguio, we were really constrained in buying fresh produce since these would not survive the jaunt to […]

LP #9 Hangin

May 30th, 2008 · 8 Comments

Masarap ang simoy ng hangin para mapawi ang init ng araw.
(A gentle breeze is very much appreciated during a hot day.)

Ngunit kapag sobrang lakas naman ang hangin, nakakatakot ito at nakakasira ng mga dinadaanan nya. Kuha ko itong mga litrato nung pauwi kami galing Vigan at kadadaan lang ng Bagyong Cosme sa […]

Saving

May 30th, 2008 · No Comments

My aunt taught me to save when I was still a kid. She used to take one peso from my meager allowance and put it in a piggy bank (that was not a pig). However, as I grew older and became responsible for saving my money I forgot about saving regularly and I […]

Tools

May 30th, 2008 · No Comments

Ever since I was a kid, I have been fascinated with workmen’s tools. There is something very appealing about their shiny appearance and usefulness. Of course the first tools I got acquainted with were the hammer, screwdriver and wrench. These were among the tools that the carpenter would bring when he was […]

Health issue

May 27th, 2008 · No Comments

Until I was diagnosed with endometriosis, I never heard of progesterone. Now, I search through the web for information about progesterone/progestins, gonadotropin releasing hormone agonists, and aromatase inhibitors. These are just some of the possible medications that can help manage the medical condition I found myself in. I do not want to […]

Baguio

May 25th, 2008 · 2 Comments

Last May 15, our division went to Baguio. I was asleep for around half the trip. There wasn’t much to see since I’ve been to Baguio a few times before. I prefer seeing rice lands to houses. I only sat up and took notice of the scenery when we started our climb […]

LP #7 Tubig

May 24th, 2008 · 2 Comments

Nakakatuwa na may mga ganitong lugar parin sa ating bansa at may mga likas na tanawin na di pa nadidiskubre ng maraming tao. Ngunit nakakalungkot na na ang mga ganitong tanawin ay unti unti ng nawawala dahil sa pagkakasira sa ating mga kagubatan.
(It’s great that there are still beautiful sights like this in […]

Losing Weight

May 24th, 2008 · No Comments

I have been battling with my weight and stored fats for sometime already. That is what I get for having a sedentary lifestyle but not so sedentary eating habits. I have tried some quick weight loss diets to no avail. It is really hard to resist eating when there is a steady […]

Real Estate

May 24th, 2008 · No Comments

Selling real estate seems to be a very lucrative job. A few years back I remember a friend working on her license. I do no think she pushed through with it because something else came up. However, such a job needs a lot of perseverance, salesmanship and a lot of energy for […]

Commuting vs. Owning a Car

May 20th, 2008 · No Comments

There are days when commuting really gets to me. If you are riding a jeepney, you will inhale all the air pollution from the other vehicles on the road and even those from the nearby factories before you can reach your destination. There are really times when I wish I had a car, […]
