There is a certain sadness to sunsets. Don’t you think? When I was still a kid, I dread the sunset. It would mean end of playtime with my cousins. It would mean going inside the house and sleeping early. There’s tv but then playtime outside was way better than sitting in front of the idiot [...]

My aunt wants to save on space for her kids’ beds. Instead of occupying the whole space inside her twins bedroom for two separate beds, she is thinking of getting a bunk bed for them. Kids furniture at Spacify.com are really something that you would want to have for your kids. I found a Cape [...]

I went to this place sometime ago and it was playing a different tune. Relaxing. Calming. When I heard about the Crystal Singing Bowls, I was reminded of those tunes again. Silver Sky Imports offers unique handicrafts from Tibet and Nepal. They are offering the finest collection of Tibetan Singing Bowls. Each bowl carries a [...]

During this day, they play only old songs – ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s songs. Songs that I love! I am listening to it right now. Wave 89.1 can be found online at Wave891.fm [...]

I have a thing for rustic furniture. A furniture that looks unfinished or cut off from a trunk of a tree. A furniture that would look good in a log cabin but would look exotic in a modern home. When I was growing up, my grandparents have so many of these kind of furniture at [...]

I remember when my dad worked abroad when I was still in my teens, the only mode of communication was snail mail. And voice tapes. Have you experienced creating a voice tape for someone? It was hilarious! My sister and I were talking about it a while back and we both remembered how we struggled [...]

When I started blogging, I didn’t imagine I’d go this far. I mean, I have made friends and have discovered so many things that benefited me along the way. About a year ago, I realized I wanted to go one step further in my blogging life, I wanted to have my own domain and hosting [...]

When I was a kid, I used to play a different hide and seek with my siblings and cousins. We used gummi bears! We would hide each of our gummi bears in different parts of the tree while the person who’s “it” was facing the wall. After counting to ten, he or she would start [...]

While some kids hate going to the dentist, we were brought up looking forward to visits to the dental clinic. It probably had a lot to do with the fact that the dentist is a relative. And we get to go to the park to play afterwards. That’s why I make it a point to [...]

If I can be anywhere at all right now, I wish I’d be in this beach. This was taken by a friend who went to the beach last weekend. She felt compelled to send me this photo because she knew how much I would want to go there. Tease! Have a great week!

I am a worry wart. I think I’ve written about it already in a previous post. I worry about my dad’s smoking habit. I want him to stop but I know that it won’t be that easy for him. He’s been smoking for years now and an abrupt quitting is out of the question. I [...]

Always the bridesmaid, never the bride. My sentiments exactly. I’ve always been the one assisting friends who are getting married. You can say that I have the most diverse bridesmaid dresses in my closet! But I am not complaining. In fact, I enjoyed each and every friend’s wedding I’ve attended and is actually looking forward [...]

We have no right to ask when sorrow comes, “Why did this happen to me?” unless we ask the same question for every moment of happiness that comes our way. ~Author Unknown Do you know those black pins that persons who are grieving for their dead put on their clothes? Chinese people use that. I [...]

There are days when we can’t help but go over our budget. I’ve experienced that in the past and was worried each time it happens. I must admit that I lived from paycheck to paycheck, with very minimal savings. So when I go over the budget, I had no option other than borrow money. Fortunately [...]
