Gold coins of my youth and now
One of my friends reminded me of those gold coins back when we were kids. Gold coins which were actually chocolate candies. I used to love to collect those when I was a kid. It made me feel like I was rich! These days, what I want to collect are actual gold coins. Those that [...]

AM radio
Don’t you just feel like there’s a typhoon whenever the AM radio is on? I do feel that way. Maybe because when I was a kid, my mom used to turn on the radio to listen to news updates whenever there’s a typhoon in the country. She would wait for the announcement if classes would [...]

Name names!
Memories… memories… Deirdre Mikaela. Raphaela Dominique Louise. Georgia Sophia. Beatrice. Daniella Victoria. Deirdre Marie. Puro babae pala gusto ko maging anak! Hehehe! Kung lalaki: Lestan Antonio. I used to write down names that I’d like to name my babies or my fictitious characters. Deirdre topped my list. I also remember I loved the name Louise [...]

Go for gold!
Go for gold! A friend told me that. I plan to. In fact, I plan to buy gold coins when my next two paychecks arrive. I plan to invest for my future and that of my family. I plan to be financially stable within the next five years. That’s my goal. Gold has been old [...]

Champorado
My mom would cook this for breakfast, especially if it’s raining. We call it champorado or chocolate porridge to others, if I am not mistaken. It’s a sticky rice concoction that is mixed with cocoa powder, sugar and peanut butter. Yum! My aunt cooked it the other day and we happily ate it. One of [...]

My comfort zone
To find a career to which you are adapted by nature, and then to work hard at it, is about as near to a formula for success and happiness as the world provides. – Mark Sullivan I hate leaving my comfort zone. That’s a fact. Two weeks ago, I was already planning on leaving my [...]

Field of beauty
Lily is looking for hair schools in Wichita when I found her online. She is planning to enter the field of beauty and will soon open her own spa. Since she loves to go to the spa, Lily thought she might as well open her own. But, of course, she needs formal education first. She [...]

Old songs and mom
This song always reminds me of weekends spent quietly at home… Old Photographs by Jim Capaldi. An old song. And old songs remind me of my mom. And how much I miss her… How much I regret that now that I can bring her to places she’d always wanted to go to, she’s not here [...]

Heart and reason
The heart has its reasons in which reason knows nothing. I wrote this quote in a piece of paper when I was in high school. I kept it in a notebook and I only found it again two weeks ago. I suddenly remembered how crazy I was when I was in love with this guy [...]

Teach your kids
I do believe that teaching your kids to invest in their teens is a good way to expose them on the benefits of having an investment. My aunt will be buying gold bullion in a few weeks. She plans to include her daughter in the transaction proceedings. She wants to show her how she’ll be [...]

Dad’s temper
I got my dad’s temper. I easily flare up! I can feel myself getting angry over something I wasn’t even remotely angry about, and just because my dad nagged me about something! This morning, I took care of an important matter. I dealt with difficult people. It wasn’t in my mind to be angry because [...]

Meal money
I have never been one to gamble or bet. Although I see it being done by people older than me, I don’t feel any pull towards throwing away my money on something as risky as gambling. I don’t think I ever will. That’s why I can’t understand why a mother would risk her kids’ meal [...]

Mall sale
There was a big mall sale here in the city last July 30th to August 1st. There were so many things you could buy at really cheap prices. But you know what? I was only able to buy a few items plus my sister’s cellphone gift to me. That’s substantial already but there were home [...]

RT & WW – Mom’s fave resto
There’s only one restaurant in Manila that we frequent when we were kids and there’s a special occasion to celebrate. Max’s Restaurant. We loved that branch in Tomas Morato. I have so many good memories of our lunches and dinners there, of birthdays celebrated.
