Certified crazy cat lady here, so my answer’s obvious. But, really, it depends on the personality and temperament of the person. Some would find dogs more ideal (I love dogs too, btw) and others, perhaps a bird or a fish. I’d be more interested though if you’re another cat person. If you’re not sure aboutContinue reading “Crazy Cat Lady Checklist”

Activities I’d Like to Be Paid to Do
No job would convince me to do it for free, no matter how noble, especially if it’s for an entity that makes a profit from my contributions. I have three kids. If I’m spending time away from them, putting in effort, expending energy, applying my skills, etc. I’d expect to be paid. I am doingContinue reading “Activities I’d Like to Be Paid to Do”
Physical Activities for the Non-Sporty
I’m not really into sports. The only times I ever care are when my country or school is involved, when there’s a cute guy/s playing, and when there’s some big issue/scandal looming over the game. I was really active as a kid, and then asthma threw a monkey wrench into all, er, none (I didn’tContinue reading “Physical Activities for the Non-Sporty”
5 Quotes for Keeping Gratitude
To make the community I belong to a better place, I definitely need to actively contribute in all the ways that I can to improve it. Money helps, of course, but service is probably better. Still, at the core of either involvement is a person who feels the need to be a part of theContinue reading “5 Quotes for Keeping Gratitude”
Calm before the Frenzy
My morning routine – when my boys, who are on the spectrum, have resumed a nighttime bedtime – starts with green tea and ODB (Our Daily Bread). I get excited about mornings. I love that the day is so fresh and new. I like the thought of being ahead of my day because I KNOWContinue reading “Calm before the Frenzy”
Reunite Me with a Book: Books in This Case
Happiness is (a la “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown”)… many things. In my case, it mainly involves my family, cats, books, plants, and many other moments of cheap little thrills. Don’t get me wrong; getting a huge windfall would make me happy (unless there are strings), but that has only happened a few timesContinue reading “Reunite Me with a Book: Books in This Case”
Triggered by the Topic of Groceries :D
I said no political talk, but let me point out right away that our grocery expense jumped to double in the span of four years. It wasn’t just the pandemic; it was mainly Duterte’s TRAIN (Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion) Law. It was meant to target the rich, but ended up punishing the lower-incomeContinue reading “Triggered by the Topic of Groceries :D”
Recycled Post: Let Me Tell You about My Dad
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”
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”
