moving needs

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

all things silver

I had this penchant for anything silver before. I had lots of silver stuff - rings, necklaces, bracelets, and earrings. It was heaven for me whenever we’d go to Baguio where there are a lot of silver things that can be bought for cheaper prices. I have a lot of mismatched earrings that I plan [...]

easy way to learn

One of our co-teachers recently enrolled herself in an online university. As expected, Ramil and I quizzed her about it. She plans to take education units and according to her, she can’t seem to fix her schedule to find the time to go an actual university. According to her, with an online university, you can [...]

to finish or not

Ramil’s brother is taking up nursing. He stopped school a few months ago and all of us are hoping that he’d get to finish it. He only has three more subjects to finish. Most of the members of their family are very supportive of his studies. An aunt, who’s a retired nurse, is even willing [...]

Ramil and I were able to go on a date last January 2. We attended Leo and Dawn’s wedding and it made for a really good date for us. It was held in a beautiful outdoor venue by the bay, the food was great and there was dancing! We definitely had fun.
The ceremony was short [...]

no work means housework

One of the things that I love as a teacher are the vacations that we get. Ever since I got married and had a baby, these vacations turn into time that I use to catch up on housework. It’s the time when I would be able to hand over Mateo to Ramil while I clean [...]

reclaiming my lost love

Nope, I’m not talking about an ex-boyfriend I’m talking about my love for the piano.

I started taking lessons when I was around nine years old. We didn’t have an actual piano then, all we had was a keyboard that my dad brought home from Japan. My lessons were actually on and off for several [...]

ending the year with a bang

My sister just maxed out her card. The flurry of her Christmas shopping left her with little awareness with how much she was charging in her card. I remember last year when she was still planning on getting herself a Fair Credit Credit Cards, she even browsed different credit cards to find the best one [...]
