(A post from a year ago, reposting for the benefit of those looking for this entry!) Growing up, my parents made sure that members of their respective families were always welcome at our house. They would stay for vacations during the summer or even live with us while they were in the process of moving […]
A little trivia about me: I hate shopping. I know, that’s not a very girly thing to say but I just hate it. I’m the type of girl who will only go to the mall if I need to meet someone or if there is anything specific that I need to buy. I usually shop […]
The word reputation is defined as the “belief or opinions that are generally held about someone or something.” To put it simply, it is about what other people think of a person, thing, place, group, or business. In these times where most (if not all) of us make use of social media, we all have, […]
I have a confession to make: I am a trivia nerd. I remember telling a friend who was working in a TV trivia game show about how I knew most of the answers to the questions in their show and it was frustrating for me when the contestants couldn’t answer them. I don’t know why, […]
A couple of months ago, I had just gotten into the office when we got a call from the place where a couple of our co-workers were attending a seminar: one of our co-workers had lost consciousness and was not breathing, although he had a faint pulse. They were taking him to the hospital. Everything […]
For the past few months, my nephews and niece have been getting their education at home due to the pandemic. My younger nephew has been studying in a private school, a choice his parents made since he is still in elementary school and needs a good educational foundation in his younger years. My other nephew […]
Sometimes social media can be incredibly stressful. I keep reading about how people are up in arms against the government because of how they are handling the pandemic. People are saying that Filipinos are all doing their part to reduce the spread of the coronavirus and that the government should stop blaming the people and […]
Tomorrow is the start of the last season of Game of Thrones. There are only six episodes in this final season and a lot of people, me included, are looking forward to finding out how everything will play out. I know that there are a lot of theories out there, but I prefer to just […]
The Christmas and New Year celebrations are now over, and everyone will be back to work (or school) by Monday. The holidays were too short for me, and I feel sad knowing that it will be back to the not-so-normal again in a few days. Image by Free-Photos from Pixabay As a friend of mine […]
If my previous post on her latest album Folklore has not made it obvious yet, I am a Taylor Swift fan. I have been a fan of her music since her early years. I have always considered her to be incredibly talented and very smart with the way she makes decisions regarding her craft. One […]
I am a low maintenance gal. I like wearing the oldest, and (as my family often says) the rattiest clothes when I am at home. When I am out, I am not the type who would blow-dry my hair and wear anything fancy. I am more of a shirt and jeans kind of girl. I […]
The holiday season is here, and it is the time when we usually all buy gifts for each other for Christmas day but with the pandemic, it just has not happened. This is also the time of year when I have my personal wish list, things that I would love to have but do not […]
One thing that has frustrated me to no end is my weight. Since having thyroid issues, it has become difficult for me to lose it. In fact, I think that I have been gaining more even if I have tried to do the opposite. I have tried everything: low-carb, intermittent fasting, daily workouts (even twice […]
COVID 19 has been ravaging the world for months now with no solution in sight. So many people have died from the disease, and so many have suffered from it. While there are also recoveries, the amount of people who have died makes the effects of this disease difficult to ignore. With no vaccine, you […]
