Grateful

I have been back on US soil since Tuesday, and all I can say is:

from the bottom of my heart. I am deeply overwhelmed with the continuous outpouring of love and support from the thousands of people that came to sympathize with my family in the Philippines, and to all of you my fellow […]

Getaway: On Hold

I wish I’m not in this frame of mind right now, so I can hie off to Branson, Missouri. But I’m sure when I’m finally healed, I will have the chance to go and enjoy the “live music capital of the world.” As to when that will be, it’s a big question mark for now.

One of the things that I had to give up when I moved here in the US is the luxury of having in-home manicure and pedicure by my trusty manicurist cum pedicurist. At first, I religiously went to the nail salon nearby until I got tired of going every week, plus the issue of […]

Trying To Be Normal On My First Year Anniversary

Do you have those days when you try so hard to make it appear like everything is normal and yet, they’re not? What do you do when that happens? Do you just sulk in one corner and come out of it when everything is taken cared of?
That is exactly what is going on right now… […]

Allergy And Pets

I have to write about this. On one of my newspaper piles, you know I’m always delayed in reading newspapers, I read about the fact that pets could lower allergy risks. But, I’m not sure if this is so, also for adults. It stated that infants raised in homes with a dog can have  lower […]
