A Christmas Promise

This was how my office's computer screen looked like yesterday. Try it for yourself. Click here. That's what you call Google Gravity. Blame it on my office mate, Sunny, I found a new toy :-p ...

It's going to be Christmas in 10 days and seriously, I seem to have forgotten how each day passed by. It was that swift. While today is a Friday and I am home, I feel like I have left my mind at my...
"Katherine often teases me that I'm missing the need-a-boyfriend gene, but the truth is I just haven't met anyone who... well, I'm attracted to, even though part of me longs for the fabled trembling knees, heart-in-my-mouth, butterflies-in-my-belly moments. Sometimes, I wonder if there's...

One of the things that I await during December aside from parties and the Christmas bonus is doing something for charity. And this year, it's going to be my second time to join the project called My Dream in a Shoebox. Taken from...

I was at Fully Booked this afternoon looking for a good bookmark  for the book that I brought to work to read during my idle time. Instead of buying a quite pricey one, I opted to get this. Not because I was in a...
A few hours ago, I got a comment from a reader (who decided to remain anonymous)  after reading this entry requesting if I could post photos of the inside pages of the 2013 Transformations Planner. So I did some random shots this afternoon as well. January- Waking...

I told myself I won't think too much until the calendar says it's going to be in 20 days. There's something bound to happen 22 days from now and few weeks ago, I made a list of things to do. Some are meaningful,...
There were these thoughts running in my mind for some months now. And I found a perfect description through this song. While the best part is in the chorus, these lines got me best: You're such a hard act for me to follow Love...

Sweet Relief

October 10, 2012
Another Wednesday in my workweek. But this time, I had to deal with a fast-paced working environment; dividing my body in between clients on the phone, dictations needed to be finished and documents that had to be attended to -- urgently. And just...
Prior to the implementation of Anti-Cyberime Law, I have been fond of utilizing social media to the point that I totally neglected the vintage way  of placing things in black and white. In a way, I knew I had my own moments of...

I've been down sick for four days now; but I actually feel better today compared to the last three days -- I am just watching out if this simple cough and cold would lead to another asthma attack like it normally does especially...
