She had gone her way to help us in our times of need and especially when Papa died. – the fifth sentence of my 23rd post.She would always remind us how indebted we are to her. This is not assassinating her character but my aunt is like that – helping, giving financial assistance and at the same time hurling words that would knife you in pieces. But that is just she. When will a...
DelightfulYesterday, together with Kay and Daryl, we went to the grocery store to buy items they would bring to the field trip. Being busy the past few days, we don’t find much time to hang around each other. It is such a delight to notice how my kids have grown. Daryl is already taller than his Ate Kay who is a budding woman now. I cannot help be affected by the stares people give...

Grace is Papsie’s niece, daughter of her elder sister. Just recently, her father was brought to the hospital because of a difficulty in breathing. He was diagnosed having a heart ailment. Papsie, being ever present during situations like these, was the one who had offered generously his time and service to bring them to the hospital when they took turns tending their father who was later confined. We did not hear him complain though...
Heto na naman, mukhang papalaot na naman sa mundo ng drama.Pwera biro, kapag ikaw ang nasa isip, hindi ko magawang hindi magseryoso. Pareho naman tayong may pagka AB normal. Pareho tayong masayahing tao. Pareho nating dinadala ang buhay nang magaan kahit na ba ito ay napakabigat. Paano kasi ang laki ng respeto ko sa iyo. Habang papalapit na tayo sa dapit hapon ng ating mga buhay, lalo ko lang nararamdaman ang halaga ng isang...
It pays to stop-and-listen for a while. You’ll accidentally learn something. Some officemates were talking about a reality show and its challengers. One of them observed how one revealed her self through unguarded moments. “I once pitied her, but seeing her in that reality show showed why her husband left her,” went one remark. True to form, the starlet bellowed in her full cry that she damn needed the money. That was during the...
One Sunday morning, a wife woke up late and was not able to prepare food for breakfast. The reason: she slept very late thinking how she would find money for her children’s tuition fees. Resources are scant and she couldn’t afford begging from relatives. Her husband is in poor health to be able to assist her in her financial woes. And besides, she does not bother about the food; it is his concern –...
When my kids were younger, I would always tell them “Sweetheart, do not stare.” I do not know if this is a common admonition that everybody makes. But I felt I had to tell them that when they stare at people. I was apprehensive that some people will be offended. Most of the time, it was Kay who loved to stare at people, and I mean, really stare with her arched brows, especially when...
Last September 29, Thursday, was the monthly Management Review. That day also, the IQA meeting, though supposedly held monthly, will be held after the Management Review. The VP-CS would announce good news also to the internal auditors on that day. I was so excited also to see how it would make them feel. The news was about the incentive scheme for the internal auditors. The hour came for the VP-CS to announce the good...
