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 [...]

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 [...]

Or we can prepare lunch here at home, complete with cake and ice cream. What do you think? Last year, it was a special dinner [...]

To find time for what truly matters… 20 Minutes at Work It takes a second to check if an email is urgent, but new mail sucks up time when you break concentration to answer each message. Stash nonurgent e-mails by clicking “reply,” then “save as draft”. Set a time to answer them later. 15 Minutes [...]

To all the moms out there, Happy Mother’s Day to all of you! Being a mother is a very gratifying full time job. I’ve seen my friends sad and happy when talking about their families, especially their kids. I could see their overflowing love for them. I can see them sacrificing every thing for their [...]

I am still in touch with my old high school teacher. He was my History teacher in second year high. I am friends with him in Facebook and in every post he makes, I can see the bitterness in him. He is bitter in his personal life and career. He is so bitter that he [...]

Time to sit back and relax. Enjoy the sun. See the world (or just the one outside the window for that matter). Take stock of the past week. Say thanks. And unwind. Happy weekend people!

I am crossing my fingers that every thing will fall into place within the week. Lord knows I really need it *** There is something calming about watching tv.

I read somewhere that we shouldn’t let our fears rule our lives. Do we always have to play it safe? Do we always have to let the actions be done by others? I have one big fear in life: to be without money to provide for the family. I have been there in the past. [...]

It is hard to let go of someone you love. I was watching a family tv show this morning and that was touched in the episode today. The mother is already anticipating the time when her twins will say goodbye to them and go off to college. She’s getting teary-eyed recounting the times when the [...]
