new horizons

It’s a case of being ‘blogless’ as I would like to call it (a play of the word ‘speechless’ when you ran out of something to say)… a state of being unable to post anything on your blog.
Seriously, I haven’t been updating this blog regularly these days due to a lot of reasons…and they could […]

I just arrived here in Pori, Finland with my parents, cutie sis and baby C last Sunday evening. It is summer here but the outside temperature is still cold for me though I can see some ladies wearing sleeveless shirts and skirts or shorts while walking around the city. Well, I am still getting myself […]

After arriving here in Prague last Saturday evening, my schedule has been a bit hectic and I had little time catching up with sleep. The next day was a Sunday so we attended Mass at the famous Church of the Infant Jesus. It so happened that there was a small Filipino gathering and party within […]

Lately I have been busy with a lot of things…sigh, I was I could just freeze time with all the pending tasks and projects demanding my attention. Sometimes, they can be overwhelming I just sit still not knowing which to tackle first. This afternoon was a busy one as I was chatting with my family […]

I used to be cynical and smug about life insurance especially when the insurance agent talks about accidents that might happen and when reading the details of an insurance policy. My mom explained to me that it is a practical way of preparing for whatever happens. Life insurance is for the welfare of your family […]

I just chatted with my big sis on Yahoo! Messenger this afternoon and she was busy making plans for our upcoming trip to where they are staying now, in Finland. Yey! This is one of the reasons I am getting excited about my Europe trip, visiting my big sis in Finland and my cutie sis […]

Have you tried asking help for directions from strangers when stuck in an unfamiliar place? I know some friends who would immediately reply that they would rather get there themselves the hard way than ask for help from people they don’t know. That’s understandable considering there are bad guys lurking around while on the road. […]

I just notice that most moms are quite careful about the food they give to their kids when they’re still babies and toddlers – keeping them away from sweets and junk food. But as their children progress to being 5 years old and above, they’re left to be lured with what their classmates eat during […]

Some people are really gutsy and shameless when it comes to cheating others. They think they can get away with tricking others with money scams just like the 72-year old mortgage broker who is now in prison but still faces a lawsuit for the recompense of almost $40 million he got from the hundreds of […]

Do you know somebody who’s fond of accumulating all sorts of things – from old books, worn out décors, used clothes, outdated accessories, old CDs and tapes, obsolete electronic stuff, some files, papers and whatever? They think that these things MIGHT still be useful in the future. Fact is, most of them are junk collections […]

I’m glad I did my dance-exercise activities for four days now. That’s quite a feat for me considering my procrastination when it comes to my health and fitness goals. Well at least, I’m back to my half cup rice habit and consuming more vegetables. Next on the list would be drinking lots of water (at […]

Sometimes life calls us to do something different than the usual course of activities that we are accustomed to. Some refer to it as moving out of your comfort zone. For me, it was not just a move but a jolt. One fine day, my mom just called me from Manila and told me to […]

A business mentor used to encourage us his associates to always bring a note and pen. He explained they come in useful for those ideas that pop up once in a while. Writing them down immediately is important since they often get lost in the day’s busyness and there’s the tendency to forget what could […]

Have you tried going over the files in your computer and wishing you have sorted them out and deleted the unnecessary ones? I realized that browsing over Windows Explorer, and seeing the many folders and files accumulated through the years, can actually be stressful.
While organizing things on our desks and rooms usually exhausts us physically, […]

I haven’t updated this blog for ages already. And that’s stating the obvious! For the few visitors dropping by every now and then, thanks for the visit and sorry for not writing anything for more than a month. Life’s been wonderfully hectic and topsy-turvy but I’m enjoying it. Here’s to an awesome and productive week […]
