Thoughts on Kindness

January 30th, 2008 by admin


I am sharing with you an excerpt from an article written by John W. Kennedy, which I got from the Christianity Today.com newsletter. I think this pretty much sums up kindness–giving to others sacrificially without expecting anything in return. It is unselfish because it doesn’t serve our interests. It is giving out of compassion, not [...]

Happy New Year!

Alright, this might sound a bit delayed…I wrote this on my other blog, but I am moving this here…
*********************************************************
Yeah, it has been an exciting year, and there had been many firsts. This year I got married and now living with Dennis and his family. This year, I have so much to be thankful for, and [...]

Interesting Dream

January 26th, 2008 by admin


I had an interesting dream last night. It was a hodgepodge of different events in my life recently, but were twisted beyond reality. It was kinda funny and poignant, to the point of ridiculous…Oh well, I woke not really knowing what to feel. It was about family and life in general…hehe Thank God, reality is [...]

Why I Wouldn’t Buy an iPhone

January 20th, 2008 by admin


Yes, I am not an iPhone owner and I wouldn’t be one unless the company improves the product. Here’s why.
A friend of mine owns one. She got hers in Hong Kong at $700 (roughly 35,000 to the Philippine peso) about a month after its release, being so up to date on the latest trends on [...]

Preparing for Valentine’s Day

January 19th, 2008 by admin


The New Year has barely set in and we are now longing for Valentine’s Day to come. Although not an official holiday, something just ticks the mood for giving and receiving love on that day.
And I know my gift-giving would be easy on the budget with coupons from CouponChief.Com. Oh, how I would love to [...]

Falling in Love with a Car

January 17th, 2008 by admin


I’ve been there several times…Honestly, I’m not a car person. I couldn’t really identify the make, the brand, the additions, the power, etc…I remember one time when I was living with a friend in LA. We were always going out in her black 4 x 4, which I forgot what brand by now. After about [...]

Oh how i love chocolates! I don’t like dark chocolates though, I love the milky ones and the white ones, too. I love them sweet.
But my ultimate chocolate fantasy is having a playroom of my own. It will be one big room with lots and lots of toys. They don’t have to expensive, just [...]

Enjoying Durian Ice Cream

January 11th, 2008 by admin


This is a heavenly dessert!
I like the fruit durian in itself. I just think it is savory, and so aromatic…hehehe
When i was a kid, I used to eat durian candy and i would go near my classmates and blow my breath to their face. They would run away because they said i smell awful. [...]

Island Fruit Wines

January 10th, 2008 by admin


I met a wonderful couple from our island. They come from a city called Victorias in Northern Negros, known for its world-class sugar mill, golf course, and Spanish sardines.
This couple, who are both researchers, have gone into the commercial production of fruit wines, namely Bignay and Duhat wines—made from two local island berries. The [...]
