I was not sure if it was one of those Suzuki Harmonicas that he was playing. I was enthralled by the sound coming from the instrument that I could not recall that one person I saw for the first time making sounds out of this little music thing. This musical instrument has many types, I was told, and is also called a blues harp. The harmonica is truly a wonderful musical instrument but I wonder...
Today’s Photohunt entry is LOUD. This is a capture of daughter’s entry to a national contest here in the Philippines. I think this is just right for the theme because of the striking (aka LOUD) color of brown, red and gold. You can post your entry here and here.
A friend who was working in Saudi Arabia made a visit yesterday. He said he’s not going back to work abroad. He is staying for good and between exchanges of stories, he said that a few weeks after he arrived he had put up a business. It is a smart move for a returning OFW because it would not be easy looking for work here with the same compensation. I forgot to tell him...
In-law gave us these pictures one day. Gosh, we were thin in these pictures. I also have a big box of photo albums. Each time I look at the pictures in those albums, I wonder how on earth I’ve grown big. But there is still hope, isn’t there? Those were the days… Papsie was reminiscing and suddenly said in a low voice, “Can you imagine that this little girl will one day talk...
I came across this baby jogger city select stroller and discovered these amazing designs that I have not seen before. Well, maybe because I do not have a baby anymore that is why my feet would not lead me to the baby section in a department store. Isn’t it amazing that strollers are now convertible? One can add a bassinet, an infant seat adapter, or a second seat for another baby. Some of the...
The first top 14 of the American Idol contest was revealed. The same sentiments are felt because there are contestants who are very talented that were not considered. We suspect that other than the singing prowess, they chose the top 24 bets also from their potential marketability and mass appeal. These might be the whole package they’re looking into. One of the contestant last night that I felt sad with, when she was cut...
The fun is here! You can join anytime.

I just happen to notice the bulbs pointing upwards. We were at Kowloon yesterday. It’s been a long time since kids, Papsie and I were together.
The chandelier reminded me of a local saying that a mother is the light of the home. I am trying my best to be one. But lately, I realized we, as mothers, can only do as much. Being a good mother, or a parent, as I had written in an article, is not guarantee.
I am again contemplating on the ironies in life. The chandelier despite the two busted bulbs on the picture still serves as ornamental light because of the remaining light it has. It is, I believe, parallel to saying that despite the weaknesses and imperfections of a mother, she remains one, until the end.
No, I am not speaking about ‘love ovens’ . We do not need ovens to intensify the fire in our relationships. I get off the subject about love for now. Tomorrow’s the day. The topic is about lab ovens. Yes, dear, ovens are not solely invented for your kitchen only. Ovens were also made for the manufacture of certain products that need drying, baking, sterilizing. evaporating, heat treating, annealing and testing. In some factories...
At 48, Ms. Whitney Houston died. My son, who is a fan, felt really sad about the news. He even has an organized archive of videos by Whitney Houston. After being enamored by Alanis Morisette‘s songs, he later discovered Whitney Houston and was so amazed by the talent that it is a puzzle to him why she turned to drugs when she had it all. It might sound odd that my son admires Whitney...
Most employers do background check for security purposes and to acquire personnel that are trustworthy and deserving of a position. A background check maybe costly but it is a reflection of a company that adheres to government laws and regulations. It speaks of an organization’s intent to hire the right person for the job. In another aspect, it speaks of another thing. A company that can acquire background check services is a company that...
