While some would wallow in self-pity because they cannot afford to buy the latest smart phone, or the latest shoes, bag and apparel, or the latest car model, I do not grieve over these things that only those with intangibles could afford. I worry about the intangible matters that a mother cannot afford. I Cannot Afford to be Sick. We are a family of four. We don’t have a help because we cannot afford,...
When I look at my friends abroad standing on snow covered pavements and roads, I try to imagine the coldness they’re experiencing at that moment. I doubt if I will do that even with a bogner ski clothing. It’s always good to have a sort of remembrance standing on snow, or a proof that one stood on snow but I can’t even stand the thought. I heard from a friend who had just...
An update in one of my FB friends is very timely. It is about stroke and how it is possible to save a life, or save someone from suffering a lifetime effect of a stroke. It is even more timely because yesterday my blood pressure rose to 170/100. What was scary is the fact that I did not feel any obvious signs of the BP rise, or maybe there was but I just...
Do you remember Sarah Palin? She was a 2008 Republican nominee for Vice Presidency in America. She was considered a potential candidate for the 2012 presidential election but announced last October 2011 that she would not run. We cannot tell what will happen next but if you are a believer or an avid fan of Palin, you can consider buying a sarah palin 2012 shirt, or a bumper sticker, or a post card. As...
Puregold Balintawak opened today. The grocery store is big. The prices are lower. The most important thing is it is very near our house. I can’t help but notice though, and this is without judgment, that even the mendicants are allowed inside. I say they are mendicants because they are dirty all over and their clothes are soiled. I know, I can still be hated and possible to be branded judgmental. But who would...
I could die in a country that has snow. Snow will only be lovely to look at in pictures but not to experience it. That is how I believe it. I know that I will not like it no matter how others will say it will be only difficult during your first time. That is why I wonder how people sleep in a wintry country. How could one be warm and cozy and fall...
I love food. Food gives me comfort. Food sustain the love inside our home. It elevates our love for life. Even outside the home, food becomes a medium for camaraderie. It strengthens the bond with buddies. This is why I dream of being a restaurateur. The buffet or smörgåsbord type is what I wanted to have. I will definitely pick my restaurant supplies myself. I want my restaurant to be my own. “Snap” That...
From The Internet Movie Database, Rhian Ramos is the niece of GMA Network’s Assistant Vice President and head of the network’s talent center. She was born Rhian Denise Ramos Howell. She is 9 months younger than my firstborn. Very young, very, very young to be subjected to the kind of public embarrassment she is into right now. My shock to the news of a video by the blabbermouth Mo Twister is definitely incomparable to the bombshell...
Do you want longer, darker and thicker lashes? That is the question that I will answer upfront. Do I want it? It is a pretty idea to have thicker and longer lashes. If someone will give me eyelash growth products as Christmas gift, I will accept it with open arms. Not because I badly need it. I will try it out of curiosity. In fact, I doubt if it will work for me because...
If you are ready and willing, or if you have the cash you can get backpacks for kids as Christmas gifts. The children will surely love them. If you have a long list of kids to give gifts this Christmas, and you are considering these backpacks, there is a way to save money. Do not go buy the branded ones. Instead, go find a manufacturer that will sell you the bags in discounted price. ...
