When I was way younger, right about 8-9 years old, one of the gifts that I received for Christmas is a toy magic wand. I knew it was a magic wand the moment I unwrapped it, but I didn’t know how to ‘use’ it. I knew it has batteries inside already! And that it is…
Embarrassment knows no time, place, or age. It can come to anyone, anytime, anywhere. And each of us may have our own ways of dealing with it. But do we really have enough time to plan our response when it suddenly happens? I used to get so stressed whenever an embarrassing moment happens. I used…
To-do lists, self-reminders on the phone and on Outlook calendar, sticky notes on my work area and even on the fridge at home. I’m one of those people who just can’t help but have all these. I’m not going to rest until I complete all the tasks listed. But I am that type of person…
One Sunday afternoon, I knew I wanted to write a blog post but I somehow feel ‘off’ today and the past few days, so I thought of allowing myself to be refilled by Jesus. I was reading a book called “All Out! How to Waste Your Life Meaningfully” written by Nerry Gool. The 4th chapter…

Random stuff. On the last two years of elementary, nauso that time yung True Philippine Ghost Stories--books…
Highschool days. Who would forget their 'highschool life'? No matter how good or bad those days are, they will always hold a dear part in our hearts. From the 'first day high' of our freshman year up to the very last day of our senior year--our Highschool graduation. So, are we to go down the…
Weekends are what most of us look forward to, especially those who work from Monday to Friday. When Friday is approaching, I notice my co-workers' getting giddy and excited, I do, too. For those who have kids, they always have plans on where to bring their whole family. And as for those who are single…
Being the youngest and the only girl among three children, I have always been everybody's 'baby', the spoiled one, the only who is so used to get what she wants IMMEDIATELY.
