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 [...]

Wanderlust: Bucket List: Yunak Evleri

Taking Ms. V’s advice, I started putting things together and made myself a vision board. It serves as reminder for me to get motivated as well as a means for me to tell the universe, “Here! These are my heart’s desire. Conspire to make it happen!” I have always known that I want to get [...]

Celebrations: Happy Birthday, @vera_ftw!!!

I opened my now-dormant Friendster today to read this testimonial that Ms V wrote for me some few years ago…when the testimonial field was used for an actual testimony rather than a message board for personal messages.

Emergency Kits: How Prepared Are We?

These seemingly unending, heartbreaking events in Japan make one think, am I disaster-ready? When I was eight, I experienced my first earthquake. Though the 7.7 magnitude earthquake damaged a lot of areas in the Philippines, my hometown of Quezon City was spared. The year after, Mount Pinatubo erupted, sending volcanic ashes to the area I [...]
