Stroke of Luck
Have you heard of the Filipina domestic helper who inherited 6 million Singaporean dollars from her employer of 20 years? Amazing isn’t it? I mean she must have loved her like a real daughter and vice versa. She even said that she felt sadder when her employer died compared to when she lost her birth [...]
Finally, getting hitched!
My husband received the second wedding invitation for the month. This time one of his childhood buddies is taking the hitch. This buddy of his is not the marrying type (well, that’s what he told both of us) and now he’s getting married to a woman that he just met 8 months ago! Whoa! We [...]
Money Talk
My Uncle Jon (Mom’s half bro) came back home after being in the States for more than 20 years. He was so happy to see us. He brought us a lot of presents and stories of his life there. But of course I concentrated more on the beautiful gifts he got us, ha! ha! I [...]
One of a Kind
It goes without saying that for every parent a child is the most important person in the world. You just want what’s best for your child and will not settle for anything less. Investing money for your child’s future need not be a tedious or stressful task. In fact, others even do it as a [...]
Gold Talk
Our grandmother who recently died left each of her sons (our fathers) inheritance money. It wasn’t much but just enough to get by. So they are all thinking how to double or triple the money they got by venturing in a business. I suggested why not buy gold coins instead and sell when it’s value [...]
Morbidity or Practicality?
My husband’s “paranoia” is striking again. He got mad when he learned that I was browsing through term life insurance quotes one night. He went to sleep ahead of me and thinking that I can freely browse the web without him knowing I looked into it. The next day he knew of it because I [...]
I Miss
When Pia turned two last Saturday, I was quite emotional earlier that day looking at her baby pictures. Time flies really so fast no matter how cliché it may sound. I miss everything about being pregnant (except the nausea and vomiting) and even as simple as kicking off your day by taking prenatel vitamins I [...]
Diet Dilemma
For months now, I have been looking for different types of diets for quick weight loss and it’s unfortunate that I haven’t really stumbled upon “The One” that would work best for my body. I’ve tried maybe hundreds of it already but there is still no particular diet that I can truly say that it [...]
What a Mess!
They said it must be the drugs that I’ve been taking or maybe sudden change in hormones that is causing it. But whatever the reason maybe, I want it out of my face pronto! I can never understand why it’s only now that I am having this adult acne. Yes, I maybe a late bloomer [...]
Goodbye Monster
My entrepreneur friend Ginger is saying goodbye to their “Monster” (the name given to their huge truck) today because of wear and tear. She becomes emotional talking about how they (her hubby Andrew included) first got Monster and how it served them very well throughout the years. I can understand how she feels because it [...]
