I’ve been absent from blogging world these past few days. I didn’t have time to watch my favorite animes because my hands were full (and still is) configuring a Joomla-powered website. Joomla is way more difficult to configure than Wordpress but it’s really good. Enough of geeky stuffs…
I was on my way home yesterday when […]
Shaynna and her stroller
Posted on August 24, 2008 - Filed Under Shaynna | 2 Comments
I came across this site of Bugaboo stroller. This made me remember those days when I had to buy baby stuffs for Shaynna. I bought her a stroller, too. But it wasn’t put into much use before Shaynna turned two. She didn’t like sitting in the stroller. She preferred to […]

Didn’t have time to browse through my photos, so I present you this one: a photo of Shaynna and her great-grandmother. She’s my grandmother, my mother’s mother, and I fondly call her “Lola* Iyang“. She helped raising me up, and now, she’s also helping raising my daughter, Shaynna. At 71 […]
How was my week?

Two major events happened to me this week: it was my first day of work at another company and the panic upon hearing my family’s evacuation due to MILF’s attack near my hometown. Most of the people have gone back to their homes but they’re still afraid of MILF’s possible attack especially at […]

Since that April 1st incident, I’ve never worked in an office. I’ve spent a month in the Philippines, and the other 3 months, I’ve spent here in the apartment! It was only around June when our boss gave us some in-house (or should I say, in-apartment) projects. It was very convenient as I […]

Anaphylaxis, or anaphylactic shock, is a whole-body allergic reaction that causes difficulty breathing due to swelling in the airways and a rapid drop in blood pressure due to dilated blood vessels.

We can’t always find ampalaya or bitter gourd here. So when they started to appear at the supermarkets two months ago, it has become a part of my weekly budget. Ampalaya with egg is very easy to prepare so I went on for weeks cooking ampalaya this way. Honestly, I […]

Since I’ve arrived here in Osaka, I’ve always looked forward to watching the Yodogawa Hanabi* display each year. It takes place on the first or second Saturday of August. I make sure that I don’t miss it because it’s just a few minutes walk from my place. There are lots of fireworks […]

A wedding, whether you’re the bride or one of the bride’s maids, is one of the major reasons why many ladies seek the aid of a weight loss product. We have to be “fit” enough to wear those gowns! Nope, I am not getting married nor am I going to be one of the […]

Shaynna loves to pose for pictures as much as she loves to play with the camera. She took this photo with a finger covering the flash. The only good thing about it is that it made my arms look a little bit thinner.

Took me some time to post about this, but Shaynna started preschool last June 10. It was sad, since my father could no longer be with us to see her off on the first day, but it was an eventful first week.
Day One:
Before leaving the house, Shaynna appeared confident to face a new environment. […]
I’ve Had Enough of Eyeglasses
Posted on August 6, 2008 - Filed Under Health | 3 Comments
“She’s dark-skinned, pimpled-faced and always wearing an eyeglasses.” This was how other people usually described me. I may have overcome the pimples a little bit but the eyeglasses have always been a part of me since I was 12 years old. I started to notice that there’s something wrong with my eyes […]
