wedding favors

June 30th, 2009 · No Comments

A relative is getting married this December.  I say it’s about time.  He’s already 40 years old and has been in the singles market for far too long.  He’s also in charge of the wedding preparations because his soon to be wife is abroad and will come home just one month before the wedding.  It [...]

michael jackson

June 30th, 2009 · No Comments

I didn’t sleep well last night and I was up watching talk shows and entertainment news.  They’re still talking about Michael Jackson and I can’t help but feel bad about the guy.  So bear with me for a sec.  I’m part of the generation that’s old enough to remember Michael Jackson from before he became [...]

the lottery

June 29th, 2009 · No Comments

I’ve had dreams of winning the lottery. In each dream, there’s a set of numbers. But the funny thing is I can never quite remember them. I know for a fact that they’re not just some random numbers. I know they are lottery numbers. Anyway, I would be lucky enough to even [...]

June 29th, 2009 · No Comments

So I’m still not done talking or writing about my uncle’s home renovation project. Why? Because he just called me just a few minutes ago asking me who made my shelves. I said my contractor, of course. He then proceeded to ask me if he could copy the design. What [...]

my DIY uncle

June 27th, 2009 · No Comments

I wrote in my other blog about my uncle who was planning to have a home renovation this year but had to postpone it for next summer because of the erratic weather conditions. He said that no one in his right mind would push through renovation when it rains all the time. Then [...]

I love the white walls, the random graffiti, amber lamp and the bookshelves! And this weekend, I would imagine myself reading a book in that sofa.

property insurance

June 27th, 2009 · No Comments

It’s wise to get insurance for your properties these days. You’ll never know what may happen in the future. Your properties should be protected and insured from unforseen events like fire, storm, smoke, vandalism and even riots and gang violence. My father has a row of residential apartments and a few commercial [...]

disney orlando

June 26th, 2009 · No Comments

Anybody’s wish is to visit every Disney World around the globe. I know a friend who has visited every Disney World around the world. I hope I could do that with my kids before I die. But if I’m not able to visit all of them, I would rather go back to [...]

birds and feeders

June 26th, 2009 · No Comments

There are birds that fly past our balcony almost every morning. They never stop. I wish they would but they never do. Perhaps if I build something that would attract them, they would stay even for just awhile. Maybe I should get one of the best hummingbird feeders so I can [...]
