I know it’s another recycled post, but this is still exactly what I want to say. I wrote this in March 2021, shortly after my dad’s passing. Goodbye for Now, Daddy Have I told you about my father? In my eyes, no man could be more remarkable. By the standards of the world, he didn’tContinue reading “Recycled Post: Let Me Tell You about My Dad”

Recycled Post: Beloved Vintage Children’s Book Series, Part 2
This recycled post (you were probably clued in by the “Part 1”) has a second part. I might add succeeding parts because I keep thinking of more series to add. Also, time keeps on moving forward and series that I didn’t consider vintage have now become so. This reminds me of that time our VWContinue reading “Recycled Post: Beloved Vintage Children’s Book Series, Part 2”
Ghosts of Strengths Past
The things I’m good at, they’re dwindling, but I still have some left. Here they are in random order: Languages – I’ve always had an aptitude for them even when I was a little kid. It wasn’t only that I had a gift for learning them; I was also very much interested in them. IContinue reading “Ghosts of Strengths Past”
Waiting for Things to Be Just Right before Doing Anything
I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve restarted this post. There are just too many things I want to change about myself that I can’t decide which one to talk about. I started out with my doom-and-gloom Debbie Downer personality, then I switched to my unhealthy lifestyle, then I thought I’d get spiritual andContinue reading “Waiting for Things to Be Just Right before Doing Anything”
This Question Isn’t for Me.
As the mother of two boys on the autism spectrum, I have to deal with a lot of sleep issues. That’s why the question was rather triggering for me. It’s clearly not meant for me, so I perhaps I should have just ignored it, but I’m a whiner who likes to make my ails knownContinue reading “This Question Isn’t for Me.”
Danny Can Have His Song
What’s a topic or issue about which you’ve changed your mind? “Even though we ain’t got money…” I love Kenny Loggins and I’ve always loved this song, but I’m going to interrupt that pretty sentiment right there… Knowing what I do now, I would have cut in at our wedding reception while that song wasContinue reading “Danny Can Have His Song”
Back to the ‘80s, but I’m Old
Your life without a computer: what does it look like? I know it’s quite unthinkable now because it’s rather difficult to function without a computer these days, but I really welcome the idea. I’m probably mostly being nostalgic because life without a computer looks like the ‘80s, and I tend to look at the decadesContinue reading “Back to the ‘80s, but I’m Old”
Skills Wishlist
What skill would you like to learn? More skills, fewer problems, as the saying goes. Actually, the inspiring quote from Jim Rohn actually states, “Don’t wish it were easier, wish you were better. Don’t wish for fewer problems, wish for more skills. Don’t wish for less challenge, wish for more wisdom.” Okay, I can be downContinue reading “Skills Wishlist”
The Land of Singers
What aspects of your cultural heritage are you most proud of or interested in? I can carry a tune in a bucket. If that’s the marker for failure, then I’m not one – much. I can’t, however, do vocal acrobatics like many Filipinos can. No fancy riffs and runs for me. Definitely no belting orContinue reading “The Land of Singers”
Brands for This Seasoned Thrifter
What brands do you associate with? I don’t really pay much attention to brands. I know which ones are quality and I’m happy to have them, but I usually buy preloved, so… I’m not sure I really qualify as somebody who associates with a brand. Do Goodwill and Salvation Army count? Come to think ofContinue reading “Brands for This Seasoned Thrifter”
