My sister and I were recently talking to my niece (her daughter) and our nephew about what we had wanted to be when we grew up. My niece is trying to pick what to concentrate on for Senior High School and we were telling her how in our case, we did not end up where […]
When is the job more important than your life or your mental health? These days, I’m sure that many would say never. Personally, I am questioning the same thing myself. As I said in last week’s update, I had an RT-PCR test done at work with the rest of my co-workers with the help of […]
Last year I kept putting off buying an external hard drive to back up my photos, videos, and documents. I thought those things were just too expensive for me and that there was still enough space for my files on my laptop. I had been planning to upload everything on the cloud since I have […]
Do you still remember the days when you had tons of cassette tapes/CDs at home? Do you remember having to sort through the hundreds of CDs, tapes, and vinyl records in music stores to look for your favorite music? Do you remember carrying a walkman around? How about a diskman? How about those tiny mini-disk […]
The pandemic has made me so paranoid about so many things. When I had rashes during the Enhanced Community Quarantine, I had investigated every reason I was having them. One of my main suspects was my childhood allergies for which I later bought an air purifier. Before that, however, I decided to buy a vacuum […]
Early into this pandemic, I started having rashes on my skin. I attributed this to stress initially but then started to wonder if my childhood allergies were acting up again. I had been allergic to dust when I was younger and had similar rashes when a place was dirty/dusty. I would have asthma attacks from […]
There are a lot of good Korean dramas on Netflix. It’s a mix of the old and the new, with one of the older ones being a favorite of mine, which I had to re-watch as soon as I discovered that it was available: it’s the 2011 series called Lie to Me, starring Yoon Eun […]
It is a love story that transcends time. A young Andrea is playing the cello when a wall in her room suddenly cracks open to reveal a young boy from another time. She tries recreating this moment several times after that (sometimes successfully, sometimes not), to the point where she questions her sanity. It is […]
My youngest sister recently got married via a civil wedding ceremony. She’s getting married in a church ceremony in December, but she was advised that it would be good for her to get the legal ceremony out of the way before the church ceremony so she and her now-husband went in front of a judge […]
Unless you live under a rock or have become a hermit, I don’t think that you wouldn’t know BTS. The Korean boy band has exploded like crazy in the past couple of years and has broken through the US and other international markets. Everyone knows them and practically everyone loves them, my niece included. This […]
One thing that I have been interested in for the longest time is the concept of past lives. I know that most Catholics/Christians frown on the idea that we are given second (or third and fourth and so on) chances on earth but personally I would like to think that we do come back as […]
If there’s one thing that people remember about me from my childhood days, it’s that I’m a bookworm. I love books. I love reading and being entertained by books and the stories they tell. I used to start reading in the morning and by the time the sun is setting people would have to remind […]
Blogging isn’t what it used to be. Back in the day, they didn’t seem like the online magazines that they are now. I used to write about anything and everything under the sun no matter how boring they might be but that doesn’t cut it anymore. That being said, there are way too many blogs […]
One of my biggest frustrations is not being naturally good in the kitchen. The thing with me and food is that I appreciate it better than I can cook it. Do not get me wrong, I can cook. It is just that I am not as good at it as my sisters, who can make […]
