There are when I can’t help but reminisce when my kids were still babies, especially when I see families in public places carrying their babies with them. I remember when they were still in their strollers and we would go around the neighborhood early morning or late afternoon, and almost all neighbors would greet us [...]
A re-post from the old struggling blog. Writing… Just for the heck of it! What a title! Did it catch your attention? I bet it did! If not, why did you reach this far? Honestly, it’s hard to start a topic especially when you don’t really have any idea in mind of what to write [...]

I don’t have metal armors, laser vision eyes, magic potion, a powerful ring, telekinetic powers, or super speed.

Right now, she’s still young, barely 12 years. So she is not yet into fashion… well, not so much really. At lease that’s what I thought. Lately though, I find myself looking at wholesale handbags prices whenever I go out. Either in the malls, in the public market, or anywhere I go that I see [...]

When I started this blog, I was really hoping that I could ride on the blogging craze of “earning money online,” so I thought it was a blog about online opportunities. [...]

In my occasional web surfing, looking for information and some opportunities, I often encounter the phrase reverse mortgage as one source of additional cash.

Because I said I will bury myself and immersed myself with words, verses and rhetoric, and my blogs seem to be not enough for me for the “burying process,” I had a crazy idea of guest posting in as many blogs as I can, given a specific period of time. So I asked some of [...]

I first mentioned about the WordCamp Philippines 2010 when I posted the different blogging events for 2010 that I knew of. I also mentioned how I really would like to attend this event. Guess what, it almost missed me. Good thing, I followed a post by Jonel Uy which eventually led me to the registration [...]
