Filed under My Family What is the last thing you quit? Was it difficult?
I quit drinking soda. Boy, was it difficult! I’ve been drinking soda daily for the past year and a half. Sometimes, twice in a day. There was even a time in the past year that I would ask my dad to buy an 8 ounce bottle of Coke for me early in the morning.
But then I suddenly realized how dangerous it is for me and my family to be drinking soda daily. My grandma is diabetic and we could be diabetic, too. I decided to stop drinking soda on January 1st of this year. I stopped and hasn’t tasted even a drop of it since then.
It was difficult at first but I am happy I did it. I have been soda-free for 6 months now.
Next thing to quit: rice!
Filed under That's Me! I don’t like it when I see a love one crying. I saw my younger cousin crying because he lost the tuxedo shoes he rented out for a debut he attended with his friends. He is being asked by the rental shop to pay a sum that he can’t afford. He also can’t ask his parents for that sum because they just paid for his college tuition fee as well as his two siblings’ tuition fees, too. He feels guilty that he neglected to check his things when he left the place they used as a dressing room.
I gave him the money he needs. My heart can’t bear to look at him like that. That cousin of mine is a bit weak in personality so a simple problem really makes him worry a lot. I just don’t want him to worry over a missing pair of shoes.

I love the glass tile I saw when I accompanied my aunt at a local tile store nearby. I am thinking of using it for the kitchen counter. I love a bright room and the kitchen is one room in the house that I want flooded with bright lights. I love seeing the sunlight on the kitchen floor through the window. And when I get the glass tiles on the portion of the kitchen wall, sunlight will pass through it, too.

These past few days I’ve been sleeping more and more. And because of it I keep failing to complete the things I need to do for each day. I think it’s the cooler weather. I think also it’s the stressful situation I am in right now.
I just wish that there are more hours in a day so that even if I sleep a lot, I can still accomplish a lot also.
Filed under Daily Me Rico is a neighbor of mine who is saving up for a hair loss cure. He is quite good looking. He is tall and dark and a potential model. In fact, he already modeled a few years ago. But due to hair loss, he stopped getting modeling assignments. He could go bald but he doesn’t rock that kind of look. He really looks good with his mop of curly hair. So he is saving up to get his hair loss treated and he is hoping to get modeling assignments once more after it.
I am sure the men in the family are all thankful they are not experiencing the same problem as that of Rico’s. The men in our family are blessed with a full crown of hair even in their senior years.
Filed under FYI Our parish choir is looking for adult costumes they can use for the choral singing contest they are a part of. There are whispers that talent scouts will attend the singing contest so our parish choir is making sure that they will give an all-out performance that night.
You can’t blame the group from shelling out even from their own pockets. They are really doing everything to look good that night and to give the best performance. Who knows? The group might be the next Madrigals! And they could be singing in another country after that night.

Death is the only certain thing in life. We all know that. Whatever we do to avoid it, we will eventually succumb to it. All of us. The question is: are you prepared for death to come get you?
Honestly, I am not ready for death yet. I believe few people really prepare for it. I don’t think I’d ever be ready. Actually, I keep praying for death not to come get me yet. I know my family still needs me. I want to be able to secure their future first, especially that of my dad and my brother. I also want to make sure first that someone will take care of my sister Meng when she grows old and still single. There are so many things that I need to be sure of first before anything else.
Of course, I might grow to the ripe age of 100. Who knows?!
It really bothers me to see someone with acne who I know can actually afford to have it treated. There are so many ways to treat skin imperfections nowadays. Some people see it as vanity. I say it’s being hygienic. It’s being practical. Just imagine if you are working in an industry where you need to face clients every day. How can you do that properly if your face is filled with acne?
I’ve been reading some acneticin reviews and I know how those with acne suffered from it. And I know how easy it is to have a clear skin as long as those suffering from acne will have it treated properly.
Go get your acne treated. It is easier to face others if you have a clear skin.
Filed under FYI If there is one thing that my uncle is looking for right now that’s cheap auto insurance. He is actually cutting down on variable costs at home. Every day life is getting more and more costly so if there is something that they can cut down on, then my uncle goes for it.
I can relate with my uncle very well. I know how costly it is to live these days. I have also been cutting down on household expenses. I’ve been looking for ways to save on costs, too.
Filed under FYI I can’t help but cry when I think about my grandma. She was our pillar of strength during tough times when we were still young and my parents couldn’t do anything with the situation we’re in. She sent us to school when my dad couldn’t afford it. She gave me almost every little thing I asked for when I was young.
Let me tell you, though, that she wasn’t an angel. She could be tough to the people around her. She could be a real monster when she’s angry. But I guess I have the privilege of being the eldest grandchild. She was always kind to me no matter how mischievous I was when I was a kid. I am really lucky to have her.
And now that she is sick, I don’t know what else to do. I am really praying that she won’t suffer anymore. I pray that instead of suffering longer, she be with my mom instead…
