A Chronicler's Life

The Perfect Alibi

My best gay friend Oliver has just bought a shiny new red car! He painstakingly saved up for it for almost 10 years. And I’m glad that it’s bringing him so much happiness to see the beautiful fruit of his labor. He can’t stop talking about it and on the things that he would like [...]

A Blessing In Disguise

I thought acnes are supposed to stay only on the face so I didn’t know that there is such a thing as a body acne until my friend showed me hers. It really has no difference with the regular ones. It looks and feels the same. And according to her it hurts as much too. [...]

The Boy Is Now A Man

I remember my nephew when he was still just a few months old. So helpless and charming and just simply adorable! He used to have a really round head with round eyes and endearing little face. I used to plant many butterfly kisses all over him and smooch his toes and fingers. I like clasping [...]

On Chilly Nights

The weather here is really weird. Sometimes it’s scorching hot that the moment you have stepped out from the shower, you are already sweating like a pig and sometimes it’s too darn cold that even if I turn off the A/C and the electric fan, it still is chilly. And during those days especially nights [...]

Of Vampires and Wolves and Pimples and Acnes

I don’t know if it comes with age or I’m really just a late bloomer when it comes to blemishes. I never really had one when I was still a teenager and even until I got married so I was quite baffled as to why I am just getting this now. It started with an [...]

Epic Fail!

It has been awhile since I have last relied on diet supplements to get the body that I want. And as you have guessed it, it’s a major EPIC FAIL! I really can’t rely on my will power and determination (blah!) alone. I really need to take something to curtail my over the top cravings. [...]

House Today, Home Tomorrow

It’s going to be our 4th year anniversary this coming April and we still have not started on our Project Dreamhouse. Sophia will be turning 3 on July and we still cannot give her what we promised her, a house of our own with bigger and better space to play around with. My sickness is [...]

Leaving On A Jet Plane

My brother will be leaving us again soon to go back to Ireland and work there with his wife. It’s like just yesterday that he came home and now five weeks have already passed and he needs to leave on a jet plane again. It has been years since we last saw each other. And [...]

An Unfortunate Mishap

It’s been awhile since I last heard from my Uncle Rick who now lives in Texas and very unfortunate as well that after all these years of no communication we found out from him that he’s been into an accident. It has been years that he’s stucked in a wheelchair because of his company’s slipshod [...]

Sweet Talker

If there’s one thing that people don’t know about me, it’s my being an afficionado of anyhting old. I love anything vintage or vintage-y. If some would find it such a waste of energy and resources to collect these pieces of “trash” as some would ignorantly call it, to me these are timeless and simply [...]
