Loyalty

This may be a tad bit serious than my normal post, because now, I’m writing about my beliefs. This week’s theme for me has been quite centered around loyalty. I believe loyalty is one of those big words that come in small packages. I have tweeted that I am a Virgo, and I am extremely [...]

Homesick

There is so much about moving to a different country than just getting yourself familiar with your surroundings and getting homesick. There is a lot more about it when the sudden change of scenario shows no resemblance at all of the things that you are used to. I grew up in one of the metro [...]

First Time Home-Buying: The Signing

The Signing process is not the same as the Closing process. I did not know that until we were about to sign. I had this big misconception that the big day, the signing, was the end of the home-buying process, when I will get the keys and be allowed to move-in. So, what I thought [...]

Making Friends

Unemployment. Customer service woes. Desperate nanny-hunting. Business problems. Broken PlayStations. Computer Issues. Long distance relationships. Bad hair day. Infidelity. Earthquake in China! The subjects above are just some of the things people started ranting about yesterday. So, the onset of the ever-despicable Mercury retrograde took a toll on almost everybody I know. Twitter and Facebook [...]

Taste Buds: Quickie Gourmet Ham and Cheese Snack

I am lucky to have a husband who loves being in the kitchen and who would always get inspired to whip up a gourmet anything. As I was cramming to do my homework because I had no Internet (waaaaahhhh!) for two days, I told Chef, I’m hungry. Five minutes later, he came back with this [...]

Movers and Shakers

I am honestly too tired and too busy to blog. We spent almost the entire weekend moving stuff from Ms B and Chef’s old apartment to their new house! I was there when she moved in to the apartment 5 years ago, back when we were young(er) and she was starting a career with this [...]

Cybertechnology

Well, I don’t know if there’s really such a term. I’m writing the draft on Word and the red underline appeared. I am, however, sticking to the title. Captain Awesome has social network accounts. The first one was Friendster, which I created years back when having your infants have social network accounts was all cute. [...]

Cultural Differences: Product Returns

Of all the things about cultural differences I could blog about, tonight, I will choose the side of the country in which I did not grow up in. Because tonight, I will not be talking about the food, the local festivals or whatnot. Tonight, my focus on the cultural differences that we see as citizens [...]

Broccoli and Cheese

I got convinced to get into this self-help program because I was told that there are resume a lot – LLLOOOTTT – of jobs out there. I was told that the reason why I couldn’t find them was that I was looking at the wrong places. I was told that the reason why I couldn’t [...]

First Time Home-Buying: The Walkthrough

The walkthrough was a task made for me. The other day, we had our walkthrough for our new house where, because the house is under warranty for one year, we focused only on the cosmetics. During the walkthrough, I had all the qualities I have on my resume at full-force: thorough, keen attention to detail, [...]

Instant Messaging Concert

Okay, so I thought I’d blog something, err, big, but I got held up by my lovely Little Princess on Skype. I find it really divine that both Um and I grew up in creative environments. There are artists, unsung poets and lyricists, writers, musicians from both our families. It’s not very surprising, then, that [...]
