Fits the bill

I know for a fact that when it comes to technical issues, my cousin reigns supreme. I am lucky to have such a friend because I can ask him just about anything techie and he can answer it. The last time we talked, he was telling me about a rackmount core systems. Then we talked [...]

Eating out

Our family loves to eat out. In fact, it’s an indulgence we all share. We make it a point to try out new restaurants we hear good things about. We do this every month. We try to make it a point to try different cuisines as well. This time around, my sister is telling us [...]

Better coverage

To compare life insurance: the current one I have versus the ones being offered to me by another agent. That’s what I am doing at the moment. I want to get a better life insurance coverage with a lower premium. I know there’s one out there that meets my requirement. And I am hoping to [...]

Chastised

The friends I saw chastised me for losing control of my weight. I wasn’t this big before. But ever since I started working at home, I threw out the window whatever discipline I had when it comes to food. Naturally, I gained so much weight because of it. My goal for 2010 is to lose [...]

Free vacation?

Who wants to go on ski vacations this month? I do! My family does! As long as it’s free haha Seriously, we haven’t traveled much this year. With the recession hitting us in the latter months of 2008, I decided not to spend much on travel for this year. Unlike in the early part of [...]

Time by yourselves

For couples out there, you know you need to have time by yourselves. No kids. No friends with you. No other people except you and your partner. And the best place to be “alone” is at an Adults Only Cancun resort. The Karisma Hotels has a collection of resorts catering to your every whim. For [...]

Baby-faced high school teacher

I was catching up with a former high school teacher of mine. He’s a wacky teacher and we’ve met again through a social networking site. I commented on him still looking young after all these years. He told me that he avoids wrinkles through laughter and getting lots of sleep. It’s his best wrinkle treatments, [...]

Fixated

My friend has this weird habit of being fixated on things in a given period of time. For example, a couple of months ago, he’s totally fixated on stenciled wallpapers. I believe it took him three months before he was finally able to shake it off. These days, he’s into stainless steel backsplash tiles of [...]
