A Chronicler's Life

Stubborn One

My husband whose face has become clear of blemishes some few months back is on acne pill again now. It must be the very hot climate that triggered the growth of his acne. When he sweats a lot he attracts more dirt on his face and this accumulated dirt forms into acne. At least that’s [...]

Mixed Emotions

Right now we are in a very interesting argument about my sudden weight gain. When we went to Baguio last April 9, I was just 55 kgs and after 4 days of not pigging out (honest!), I came back gaining 4 pounds (2 kgs) already! How can that become possible? And now I’m on whooping [...]

Hush, Hush

One lull time at the office, I have eavesdropped overheard my male colleagues talking about men’s health and beauty products. They were very much engrossed in it that you would not think that these are real macho men conversing and not females having their usual talk about girly stuffs. They were discussing about face, hair, [...]

Sore Losers

Every Dealers night, my husband’s company being one of the major dealers of power tools in the country wins an item in the sponsored raffle of the host company. For several years it has always been that way so we were confident that we will really win. But much to our surprise, the night ended [...]

Aesthetically Speaking

If there is a career that I’d like to venture in if ever I decide to resign from my current post, it would definitely be a beauty career. I love dolling up. It’s my way of pampering my tired and stressed self after a week of being swamped with work. Every time we go out [...]

Fashionista

My nephew Alfonse changes his clothing style faster than a pendulum does. I guess that’s how teenagers of the Y generation behave. I’ve once been young but I don’t remember being a follower of the latest fads before. I’m a late bloomer because I was such a nerd when I was in school. I’m usually [...]

Glued to the Tube

I am not really what you call a potato couch, the kind that watches the entire day and does everything in front of the TV. I’m more of a bookworm actually. I would rather be stuck in a library than in an appliance store. I would give up everything except my books. But when hubby [...]

Double Celebration

My friend Roni is going to be a second time Mom soon. Her due is this coming August already. It’s been 8 years since she last had a baby and she feels like this is her first child again. She’s so thrilled to see her baby especially that the ultrasound showed that it’s going to [...]

Tech Talk

Every time my husband and my youngest brother Peter see each other, there is only one thing that they ever talk about and that is technology. Since these two special men in my life are both techno-savvy can’t really blame them if they spend the entire day and night talking about it. But their favorite [...]

There’s No Place Like

There is no place like home, cliché but very true. No matter where you’ve been and even if you have already roamed around the world, you will still want to go back to that one place you call your own, home. It’s the only place in the world where you could be you and not [...]
