Not so long ago, there was this 12-year old kid, fresh from grade school and traveling far from home for the first time. The experience was scary but something she agreed to take on because her own mother assured her it was the right thing to do. As far as her young mind was concerned, […]
Rock That Party!
Christmas is here yet again. Not that we’re complaining, of course. Christmas, as a matter of fact, is that one occasion of the year that a lot of people look forward to, myself included. And all around abound Christmas parties of different themes, may it be a party sponsored by the company you work for, […]
Budget 101: Assets vs. Liabilities
A fundamental skill to possess in order to lead a healthy financial life is to be able to spot the difference between assets and liabilities. Investopedia.com defines asset as “a resource with economic value that an individual, corporation or country owns or controls with the expectation that it will provide future benefit.” Conversely, it defines […]
Pizza Hut Card For A Cause
Right after I got discharged from the emergency room yesterday afternoon, my friend and former high school classmate AA and I went to a nearby Pizza Hut to grab a quick lunch. It had been agreed upon that after lunch, I was to catch the earliest bus home, and then she would be off to […]
On Sprained Ankles and Battered Women
I was on my way to a venue in Makati City yesterday morning when I twisted my ankle just outside the Makati Med premises.

My WhoIS Nightmare Solved
Last week, I came across something that really bothered me. I admit I’m new to the blogosphere and there’s a whole lot I need to learn, but what I found out was something I thought was downright unfair. Okay, so GoDaddy once sent me a message telling me that my WhoIS information was public. Thinking […]
What Is Hyperthyroidism?
When I was little, I often wondered why some people had lumps as big as tennis balls, or even bigger, at the base of their necks. And then some folk from our very tight-knit neighborhood told me the person swallowed something that got stuck in his throat. As I grew older, I realized that a […]
