Today, after almost a year of staying at home and only reporting to the office once a week, I went out to the town proper of the place that we live in. I did not realize until I was in the middle of traffic and seeing all these people outside that I was terrified of […]
A successful woman on the top of her game is diagnosed with cancer. Life expectancy is low. What do you do when you know you are going to die? For Vivian (Vilma Santos), the lead in the Filipino movie Everything About Her that is streaming on Netflix, it meant facing her disease head-on while continuing […]
My niece bought a deck of tarot cards online. She said that she bought it because she was curious and wanted to try it. I have had my fortune told before but the fortune-teller used an ordinary deck of cards. I have never taken these things seriously because that last person told me that I […]
Interesting times. 2020 is certainly a year that the entire world will not forget.

Imagine making a mistake in your youth that you regret greatly. It’s something that drives you to change for the better. You do everything in your power to make things right – except owning up to your mistake. What do you think will happen when you finally have to come right out and admit it? […]
My sister and I were talking earlier about how it will be Christmas next week…Christmas. It is almost the end of the year. After all this time, things are still the same. COVID still exists. We are all still staying home. Still trying to be careful. Still hoping that the vaccine will arrive in the […]
Here’s the thing about me and writing: people seem to think that it’s easy, that it just flows out naturally when a lot of times, it’s not. Yes, there are moments when you get that moment of inspiration and you can write on and on and it will just keep going but for the most […]
It has been a while since I last watched an Asian drama. I have been watching mostly Korean dramas so during one weekend without much to do, I decided to randomly pick a series from iQIYi. I decided on the Chinese drama called The Day of Becoming You. The rom-com series stars Liang Jie […]
This pandemic has been heartbreaking. So many people have been infected by the virus. So many people are still suffering from it and so many people have died from it. Some have died from non-COVID related causes, but because our hospitals are overwhelmed as it is, they have also been affected by this pandemic. I […]
This pandemic has been quite a challenge for everyone’s mental health. I think that the events of 2020 have brought on a surge of so many emotions — way too many emotions than what we normally must deal with — and we need to find a way to keep ourselves in check. We need things […]
My nephew is the love of my life. He is my person. He says goodbye to me when I go off to work and is often the first to welcome me home after a long day at the office. He kisses me goodnight practically every evening and hangs out with me a lot when I’m […]
One of my guilty pleasures when it comes to books is reading love stories that involve royalty. Not necessarily a love story between an ordinary person and royalty. It could be any love story if is it royalty adjacent. I think it comes from my fascination with British royalty and the fact that we do […]
For so many of us, the COVID 19 pandemic has been a difficult challenge to face. People are suffering, dying, losing loved ones, losing their jobs. It seems there is just one bad news after another every day because of this pandemic. It has been hard to find the good in the bad, but more […]
Another week of February has come and gone. I can’t believe how the time is just blazing through this year. Just this past week alone has gone by so fast that I hardly even knew what I did before it was over. Work has been a lot for me, as usual, but I have been […]
