One thing that I like about this house we are living in now is that it has a yard. Personally I think that having a yard is best especially if you have growing kids. Just watching them enjoying the lawn and even bathe in the rain brings back good memories of my childhood. Our yard was not that big, but we were able to play with our heart’s content, we climbed trees, played hide and seek, and that yard was a witness to my simple but very happy childhood. I used to garden a lot, too but now that I don’t have much time, I just see to it that the plants and flowers are watered in the morning. I also make sure that we have a compost bin and teach … Read entire article »

Hubby and I share the same birthdates. I don’t believe in horoscope but some friends who do would tell us that’s the reason why we have such a happy marriage. Having the same birthday with the hubbs has lots of advantages. One of which is that we could just go out on a quiet date and enjoy our day together. This year, however, I attempted to do something different. I surprised my man with a birthday party two days before our actual birthdays! When I think about how nervous I was while planning for it, I can’t help but smile to myself. With the help of great friends, the surprise was a huge success—and nothing compares to seeing my man so happy. For our actual birthdays, we did not get any … Read entire article »

I have so many friends working in Thailand as English teachers. It’s fun listening to stories of their teaching experiences, and how they have picked up so many Thai words over the years from students and local co-teachers. Although they have been hired by schools to teach the English language, they have to learn basic Thai in order to get around the city where they work at. I have not heard of any Filipino working in Admissions Registration Clerk Jobs, since most of the documents are written in Thai, anyway. Most of these friends of mine work at local Thai schools, but there should be Filipinos working as clerks in International schools, but none that I know of. … Read entire article »

Men’s love affair with cars is undeniable. Some men are pretty obsessed with their four-wheels or two-wheels at that, they love it to bits that they even spend more for their cars than for their wives or partners. They accessorize it, prettify it and even show it off proudly to friends. But some men on the other hand are better off sporting their collection of plastic model car kits, which are smaller and cheaper than the real ones obviously. Even young little boys would delight at toy cars, especially those remote controlled ones. Owning cars (the real ones) can symbolize masculinity and authority and even power, that is why men will always want to have a car of his own and will do whatever it takes just to get and … Read entire article »

Nobody knows how cigars started, there were no written or even oral evidence that it started somewhere. Christopher Columbus, however, was the first one to introduce it to Europe and because of the European conquests, it spread through America and also Asia. Today, not many smoke cigars, because it is highly expensive and there is an alternative which is the cigarette. There are rich men who find cigars really good, it is a way of relaxation: talking to friends over a glass of wine and a good cigar. I hope they are also interested with the history of cigars and maybe one day, one of them will sponsor for an extensive cigar history research. … Read entire article »

Hubby’s office had to be transferred someplace else. I mean, it’s still within the city, but a bit farther than his last one. It was practical that we find another building for him to have his office in and we are glad that we have transported much of the stuff in two days. What a way to welcome December!

Having a home office means sparing an extra space in your house to accommodate home office furniture, some mobile computer carts and some bookshelves. When you choose to extend your office work in the house, or have a home-based business, it is important to have that designated area where you can work, and not just place papers and stuff on top of the dining table. Make sure that papers and important documents are out of the children’s reach too to avoid damage. Avoid putting television in your home office so that you are away from distractions.
