Today, when I awoke, I suddenly realized that this is the best day of my life, ever!
There were times when I wondered if I would make it to today; but I did! And because I did I’m going to celebrate!
Today, I’m going to celebrate what an unbelievable life I have had so far: the accomplishments, […]

Being in a group that shares the same vision and goals reinforce positive changes to one’s life as a result. This is why there are support groups on weight loss, cancer and other medical conditions, parenting and just about any endeavor an individual goes through. Bonding with others and sharing experiences promote learning and provide […]

The date is not definite yet, but I will be traveling again for another home design project. That would make me a busier bee then. It will involve interior design for a condo and I hope it won’t be as difficult as the previous one since we had no contacts yet that time and just […]

Happy Easter everybody! So we’re back to tackling some pending tasks and getting ourselves oriented with our regular work schedule again huh. Somebody on my Yahoo! Messenger has the online status of looking forward to the next holiday. Sigh. We just can’t get enough of holidays I guess.
Anyway, our family just spent the Holy Week […]

Sunset at Punta Bulata White Beach Resort, Cauayan, Negros Occidental
Have you ever watched a sunset in its entirety, from the moment the sky changes to its orange hues, you see the sun coming down slowly until it touches the horizon giving that beautiful spread of colorful rays until darkness shrouds the earth?
As a child of […]

I woke up early today and opened my laptop to see some unread messages alert on Yahoo! Messenger. They were from my web hosting’s tech support. So finally they replied after I submitted a support ticket last Saturday about my travel blog which cannot be accessed. After more than a day, I got a reply […]

Are you feeling the current economic crisis and has it significantly affected your financial life? I had this conversation with somebody about feeling the financial crunch, and she told me she’s not affected about it since it’s always happening anyway. Well, maybe for her, it’s just a negligible dent in their family budget but for […]

He’s one of the preachers in our community, married to the choir leader and they have a cute one year old son. Last Monday during our prayer meeting, I was touched by his sharing about what happened to his mother who recently had a stroke and how this trial had affected their family not just […]

Pleasant surprise number 1: Instant cash!
The other day while Dad was preparing my bedroom wall for drilling (for a woven wall décor to be hanged), Mom and I moved my bed and as I lifted up the foam, I saw a white envelope tucked under. I curiously opened it and found Php1,500 (about $30) inside. […]

…where was I and what was keeping me busy?
Year 2004 brought with us major family changes. We left Cebu, a place we made our second home, where we rented an apartment along a busy highway, where we studied, worked, established our business, made lots of close friends and breathed for many years. Going back to […]

Working at home brings with it many advantages for freelancers and self-employed individuals - freedom from a fixed timetable and location, the flexibility in accepting work projects and being with the family at home.
It’s not a bed of roses though when one decides to work at home. There would always be distractions, both offline and […]

Here are some photos of our lazy afternoon at the Petrin Hill. These shots were taken while I was resting on the ground.
The weather was fine though partly cloudy. (Oops, I didn’t mean to sound like the weather newscaster.) It would be hot and sunny for a while so I had to take […]

I love weekends and this Sunday, we had another fun day in Prague. After the usual noon Mass at the famous Our Lady of Victorious church (home of the Infant Jesus of Prague), we had another yummy lunch at Sbarro this time. It was buffet style where you choose from their varied dishes and salads, […]

While waiting for some printing jobs, I had a chat with an elderly man to keep myself ‘busy’. I didn’t expect our conversation to move on to something heartbreaking – his wife recently died. It was a tragic one that happened without any warning. It was already late in the evening and they were in […]

Yesterday we sent off dad, mom, cutie sis and her baby at the bus station. They had to catch the evening flight to Prague at the Helsinki airport and they had to ride the bus from Pori to Helsinki which takes about 4 hours of travel. Their last moments here in Finland were spent posing […]
