The picture below is what Papsie likes to have – a simple home theater. It does not have to be big and I am pretty sure an omnimount serviceman will not find it difficult to mount. The beauty of having one is purely for family bonding. We are a family that loves to watch movies together. We love to be awed, shocked, angered, disappointed, saddened, etc. by what we watch. Simply put, we want...
Daryl and his friends will graduate with teaching degrees. With God’s mercy, they will all graduate, and some with flying colors. I have a firm belief that my son will be a good teacher. He said once that he could have chosen to be a doctor, or a lawyer, or an engineer, (he knows he will succeed in any field he’ll chose) but he chose to be a teacher because his definition for success...
Tito Pino never forgets to bring us a bagful of lettuce grown by hydroponics every time he visits. Hydroponics is one technique of growing lettuce in his home in Cavite. I was amazed to learn first time that lettuce can be grown via a soilless culture. As I surfed through the internet, I learned that hydroponics is only a subset of a soilless culture, the latter having a broader scope, and some culture do...
I don’t know. I had to say that there maybe something that my father would appreciate as a gift for Father’s day. He was a chronic smoker and I am very sure that cigarettes or cigars will make him very happy. But if he was still living to this day, I doubt if I will give him cigarettes for this occasion. He got very sick of emphysema and had complications because of it and...
My father will never want father’s day presents because I believe just seeing his grandchildren grow up would be enough a gift for him. Unfortunately, it was only Kay who had experienced the love and she did not even know it and remember it because she was only a year and a few months old that time, and he died after a few months. My father was a simple man. Actually, he was so...
Saturday again and it’s clean-up time. What do I need? Of course, I would need a broom and a rag. But a two step stool and the vacuum cleaner are the best devices I can effectively use to get rid of dusts and cob webs. Saturday again and it is not a day to do nothing. It would be a headache not to attend to the chores that are left unattended. How I wish...
Seeing that rustic furniture above reminds me of my late mother-in-law. The rocking chair in her room is her lone witness of all her aches and pains, physical and emotional, during the times she was ailing. It had seen a lot and heard a lot. It had seen her anger and disappointment, her tears and loneliness, but most of all, it had seen her happiness especially when her sisters go to her room and...
Well, unless you start your craft like the ones at www.personalcreations.com – a website of novelty items for different occasions, you cannot have your earnings that could possibly make you rich. The problem now is where are you going to get resources when you have exhausted all means, or another possible reason, when you do not have anything to start with? People get rich because basically they had striven. They had knocked themselves out...
There should be a Mother’s day. Therefore, there is a Father’s day. Or is it the other way around? I do not know if the premise is right but I don’t care. The occasion requires us to buy father’s day presents it seems to me. I have not saved money for these celebrations not because I do not give importance. Have you? Have you spent time checking on what gifts to give to your...
It’s that time of the year again. The cold winds brought by the Habagat cease to blow, and the temperatures once again begin to rise to stratospheric heights. Fans and air conditioners become overused once more, and people begin their yearly Diaspora to the country’s beaches, be they as pristine as those of Palawan, or as dirty as that which we find in Manila Bay. It’s that time of the year again: hot, sweaty...
I HEAR YOU
