The insurance marketing skills those agents possess must be working really well on us. We spend a nice percentage of our salaries paying for premiums. Hopefully, they will [...]

March 7, 2010

In two weeks’ time, I’ll be meeting my mother as she’ll have a 9-hr stopover in Incheon on her way to Los Angeles. She just arrived in the Philippines yesterday for a short vacation. She was lucky to get cheap flights whenever she travels from LAX to Clark Airport. The latter is just a 15-minute [...]

Internet addiction

March 6, 2010

When I first learned that I was pregnant, I took every measure I know to have a healthy pregnancy. I took prenatal vitamins, exercised and I tried to eat healthy food when I could actually swallow them. I don’t understand how a few people blessed with an “angel” could be so negligent.

Adieu Vancouver

March 2, 2010

The 2010 Winter Olympics has finally ended. I guess that’s a signal that winter is also over and it’s time to shop for spring clothes, BCBG Max Azria bags, light cardigans and open-toe shoes! I love spring and it’s the only reason I could tolerate winter.
Did you watch the closing ceremony? This, by far, [...]

Kim Yuna Syndrome

February 27, 2010

We have a longish weekend as March 1 is a national holiday here – the “March 1st Movement” or the anniversary of the “Declaration of Independence” (sort of like the “Cry of Balintawak) from the Japanese colonizers. We couldn’t agree on what to do this weekend – my son wanted to go to Everland, my [...]

Just do it, Kim Yuna!

February 24, 2010

We’ll finally see South Korea’s hope for the first figure skating gold – Kim Yuna – perform today at exactly 1PM KST. Too bad I’ll be on my way to work by that time. I just hope that it will be broadcast live on “SBS-uTV” (Channel 13) so I could still see it on my [...]
