10 Simple Joys for February

Yes, boss Tatint. Here ya go… there is more than 10, so i grouped ‘em:
1. impromptu KC reunions and realizing that half a decade later, we are still friends.

3. taking […]

Papampam

in response to Xaris’s meme:
please leave something If you read this journal,even if I don’t speak to you often,post a memory of me.It can be anything you want.It can be good or bad,just so long as it happened.Then post this on your journal.Be surprised and see what people remember about you.

Mood swings again? Reminders to self

Who am I?
That the Lord of all the earth,
Would care to know my name,
Would care to feel my hurt.
Who am I?
That the bright and morning star,
Would choose to light the way,
For my ever wandering heart.
Bridge:
Not because of who I am,
But because of what you’ve done.
Not because of what I’ve done,
But because of who you are.
Chorus:

The food trip before Valentine’s

It was the week before Valentine’s
And I was very well fed…
 February 9 Saturday
The Singles Club plus some not-so-single persons had another aftershift camwhoring session at Eat my English. I survived on Cara’s leftovers, Wendee’s Bicol Express and chicharon with rice. Then had coffee at McDonald’s while telling stories about grisly childhood experiences:

My standards for a partner circa 2005

When  I was 21, young, naive, and delusional, I made a covenant with two equally naive and delusional girls. Here is the result of thesis stress, hormonal imbalance, senti overload and prayers (I think) rolled into a list:

Feedback from friends on my appeal for blog ideas

So far, my professional blog idea is on 50/50 status. Just a few resoponses so far, but the people who have commented online are encouraging:
Content wise, why not do a blog about both finances and language education? That’s what my blog-mentor suggested. The question is finding the convergence of those two very different topics. Also, […]

Preliminary ideas for my professional blog

A blog? Is that edible?
This was my first reaction when friends introduced me to the whole new world of blogging. From Wikipedia:

When I have kids

Philcoa, Thursday morning after shift. As I was gleefully eating piping hot rice and ginisang monggo, the owner of the carinderia sat at the table in front of me. On her lap climbed her 4-year old daughter, pigtails askew and sleepily rubbing her eyes. The mother then opened one of those thin Adarna storybooks and […]

Split personality and the serenity prayer

I want to introduce you to several of my of “selves,” a sample of the multitude that compete for attention in my cluttered head. Thinking hurts.
My pessimistic self, known as Daria, has been dominant for the last three years. She always thinks that if something can go wrong, it will. Daria is myopic and suffers […]
