IDesign: Starting Design School

So folks, I’m starting IDesign, the design series of ID — inadvertently domesticated, in case you didn’t make the connection, LOL! Yes, this is quite diametrically opposed to whatever path I am in now, but to be honest with you, this does not come as a total random thing to me. If you read my [...]

Letting the Stars Align vs Perseverance

I certainly have no excuse for not blogging now with my MB Air that’s so easy to bring to cafés. Or, just in bed. Anyway, I’ve always felt that if the keyboard is inviting, my fingers will just find its way to it, and you know what, that is so true. I guess these little [...]

All that Identity Hoopla

I take personal information seriously. I guess that is because both Faja and I have been victimized by identity theft. I may not have lost as much as he had, but still. Every dollar counts! But, quite honestly, I have not done anything to actually do any identity theft protection. Well, other than shred everything with [...]

Music and Lyrics: I Will Follow You Into the Dark – Death Cab for Cutie

Much to my annoyance sometimes, Chef always watches what I eat. He says it’s because he wants me to live a long life. Chef and I have the Brangelina age gap, and I am praying with all I have and I am that we will grow old together. I take comfort in knowing that he [...]

An Ode to Dad

Two weeks ago, I left for an unplanned trip to the Philippines because my grandfather was dying. When I arrived in Manila with my mother and aunt, we went straight to the hospital. My grandfather, who used to stand tall and dominant in the room, was now frail, yet dominant still but now for another [...]

Mommy Adventures: Parent Material

With all my heart and mind, I am very certain that Chef and I are not yet in the position to become parents. Sure, Captain Awesome seems to think we’re ready, but that’s because I bought him everything he asked for when we went to the store. But really, what makes a woman mommy-material? When [...]

Another Year Under My Belt

Although I know that I should reflect on my life constantly, I, like probably a lot of people, deeply reflect on what I have done and what I have yet to do on two occasions: New Year’s and my birthday. Incidentally, today is one of those days. Yey me! Having friends from so many different [...]

Following Your Star

I was reading my journal entries from 2005 and 2006, before and right about when I met Chef. One of them was about a conversation I had with our brother, Tyler (code name, of course). It was Christmastime 2005 – the first time in a long time that he’s been back to the States because [...]

School’s Out!!

I say school’s out even if Captain Awesome just started his first day of school here in the States today. For me, three years, $36,000 later, I am finally done with my MBA program. I vividly remember the day that Chef and I sat down to discuss this. From the sacrifices that included me having [...]

Music and Lyrics: Angel – Jack Johnson

Who doesn’t love Jack Johnson? I mean come on, those awesome lyrics, fabulous voice, and he’s a surfer dude. No but really, he’s one of my favorites because he’s my kind of lyricist – and by my kind of lyricist I mean the Dave Matthews kind of lyricist. So, his (or their – with Dave) [...]

Blinks: Kiddos

photo: Ms B taken: April 2008, Tagaytay Highlands, Philippines I’m really missing these three kiddos right now. Not just them individually. More like the whole chaos. I really wish that there will come a time when bringing my whole family together is so easy. I want the security of knowing that the whole bunch is [...]
