a change of career

Posted on February 27, 2008 - Filed Under Money Matters, blogging | Leave a Comment

An old friend of mine is thinking of changing career. She’s been teaching for almost three years now and recently, she told me that she wanted to try a corporate job for a while. Having worked in the corporate world for three years, she was asking me about a lot of things. She wanted to [...]

let me out!

Since Mateo loves going outside now, he has also learned how to use our house keys. While we were outside our house a week ago, he got the keys from me and proceeded to use it on our padlock. I was amazed he knew how to use it because nobody taught him how. I guess [...]

questions of the week

Posted on February 27, 2008 - Filed Under On Me, Ramblings | 2 Comments

I’ve been seeing this on Litzie’s blog. Just thought of answering it too.
1. Can you write with both hands? No.
2. Are you superstitious? No, I’m actually a big skeptic when it comes to superstitions.
3. What would be your dream job? A Lonely Planet travel writer because I’d get to travel a lot but to [...]

moving needs

Posted on February 27, 2008 - Filed Under Money Matters, blogging | Leave a Comment

After moving to a house closer to our workplace, I realized that moving can be so difficult. I even had a bit of trouble looking for a moving truck we could hire. I tried several moving companies because of course, we wanted a reliable one. In a month or so, my sister would be moving [...]

no to shades and hats

Posted on February 27, 2008 - Filed Under Mateo | Leave a Comment

Mateo looks absolutely adorable whenever he’s wearing his pair of shades and his hat. I have a problem though, he’d often wear it for about five seconds - long enough for people around him to appreciate and say ‘wow, gwapo’ and then he’d go about removing the shades and then the hat. Does anyone have [...]

My mom is currently looking for a good credit card. She’s one of those people who still recognize the benefits of having one. The key is how to manage your spending. Knowing about our experience with credit cards and the number of cards we have, my mama asked me the other day which card would [...]

our little gardener

Mateo loves playing outside. I’d usually accompany him and even if he’s just walking around in our garage and front area, he’s happy already. He’d tinker with everything he can get his hands on while I just let him explore to his heart’s content. A few days ago, he was so taken by the small [...]

mall time

Ever since the new mall near our area was opened, our small family have gone for some quick mall time every now and then. For the just concluded three-day weekend, we were there last Saturday and Monday. Ramil and I used pass by the mall when we were still bf-gf. We’d meet every day from [...]

home schooling

We’ve had several students who’ve had home schooling before entering formal school. Ramil and I plan to do this to Mateo in the years before he goes to school which means I am definitely saying goodbye to full-time teaching at least until Mateo can go to school with us already. This made me think of [...]
