Purple-colored Sunday

Even before this day started, everyone in Minnesota already knew for whom this day is for. My husband and I decided to attend the morning mass so we can just cruise through the rest of the day til the game at 5. In the church, at least six people were wearing the famous purple jersey [...]

Clinging to a memory

It’s been a while since I last updated my blog with my latest happenings. It took alot of procrastination I confess, that it just reached a point that I totally forgot about a life that I had linked with this vast void. Then today- with just one feeling, I instantly returned to the page I [...]

God speed!

As I am typing this blog, the countdown for the shuttle launch reads 12:34:14…and counting. I will just be one of the spectators who will be driving up northeast to see this once in a lifetime opportunity, but judging from my anxiety right now I felt like I am part of the crew. I just [...]

A message from a puddle

It rained today in Lakewood Ranch- something that I personally would have wanted to experience at home. But since it took place on a weekday, I was inside the hotel not even mindful that it was already pouring outside by mid-afternoon. It was only until I stepped out of the building and walked across the [...]

Lost in Space

I couldn’t recall the last time I logged in my own website to at least peek and read the comments left. That was ages for me I know. No amount of excuse can compensate my grave negligence. I can only say so much apologies to all my friends and family who never fail to stop [...]

A Child Again

Children’s excitement over a particular event that is expected to take place is for me the most genuine expression of all. Once upon a time we were children…and we know what it felt like. The anxiety over waking up on Christmas morning to find a present left by Santa; or the jovialty over a promise [...]

I survived!

Since last Tuesday, I have been working my *** off with my new job. I am still under training here at the Holiday Inn Lakewood Ranch and I was (and still am) excited to learn more about the industry and meet alot of people. As much as I am fully aware of my strengths, I [...]

Time to Shine!

Finally after over two months of sending out my resume and cover letter to prospective employers regardless of whether or not they are hiring someone, I finally got my first job here in the United States. The last months (or even year) has been a tough time for the American economy. And the domino effect [...]

Let’s face it, no one is getting any younger. Whether you are a full-time homemaker, a focused professional or someone so talented to actually synthesize both- no doubt you are one of the many people bombarded with stress and physical pains. So with all our hard work, our body deserves a treat. And since pain [...]

A Celebration of Life

My Christian turned 36 yesterday. It was his first birthday as a married man. And as a wife, I tried to make it extra special…something that he will remember and hopefully get used to for the years to come. It was not like he planned it to be that way, but looking back now I [...]
