Recently, a group of us from work decided to put together the soundtracks of our lives. We then posted them on on our shared iTunes network. It was interesting how much one’s taste in music can say about him/her. After listening to some of my co-workers’ soundtracks, I felt like I knew them better.
I put [...]

“She is clothed with strength and dignity;
she can laugh at the days to come.” – Proverbs 31:25
___________________________________________________
Today is my Lola’s birthday. She is 77.
My Lola (grandmother) is one of the strongest women I know.
She was widowed when she was in her 30s and raised 7 children on her own.
And she did it in a place [...]
thou shalt not lie

Especially to little 5-year old girls.
First of all, let me start by putting this disclaimer out there: I don’t ordinarily hang out with little kids. My friends with children live hundreds, if not thousands, of miles from me. So it’s not often that I spend a Saturday morning with tykes around. That said, my sense [...]

The answer to May’s Trivia #2 question is astronaut. Congratulations to Jenn for getting this week’s trivia correct, plus the Bonus question too! (Even though it was on her second attempt).
I wanted to be an astronaut after watching Space Camp, (over and over again, I might add). I vividly recall when my dad took me [...]
May Trivia #2: When I grow up…

If you know me, you’ll know that I wanted to be a doctor since I can remember.
But there was a brief moment in time when I wanted to be something else when I grew up. I was inspired by a movie that came out in 1986. I was so enthralled by this new profession that I [...]
I’m in!

It’s official! I got my official looking packet via FedEx yesterday. My roommate, Mun, actually called me at work to tell me that the packet had arrived. They always say in times like these, a packet is always better than a letter: the bigger the packet, the better.
I gave Mun the go ahead to open it and [...]
confessions of a commitment-phobe
Posted in on growing up, on life, tagged commitmentphobia, confessions, friends, relationships, roommates, single women on April 16, 2008 | 1 Comment »
BGP and I were having one of our deep, philosophical conversations the other night when we both admitted, albeit reluctantly, to being commitment-phobes. I think this was brought on because we actually signed a 2-year lease for the new house we’re renting. Yes, that’s right, a house (we’ve acquired 2 more roommates). It’s not even an apartment [...]

Hello to my two readers. You know who you are. And no, one of them is not my mom
February?! February was really the last time I posted. How shameful. So many things have happened…are happening… since then. Some of the highlights: I’m applying to grad school (I got an interview!), I visited family [...]

When I was in my teens, I visited my family in Manila.
At that time, my cousin Angie was about 4 years old. She was a precocious child and often spoke her mind,and she did not have any filters
On the car ride home one day, she casually commented, “Mom, Cousin Mel reminds me of [...]
drinking and deriving: mathboy turns 30

He was one of the first people I knew who got a car and would drive me home from school when I didn’t have a ride.
He helped me pass calculus (with an A, no less).
We spent countless hours sitting on my living room floor just talking about love, life, and the pursuit of happiness.
These days, he [...]
