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.”
Not a Question I Can Answer
There are five people in my family: the parents and three neurodivergent kids – at least one of them has ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder). My husband and I coincide in some of the things we like, but his guiding principle is to opt for home-cooked Filipino dishes, while my preference (and knowledge) is moreContinue reading “Not a Question I Can Answer”
Jesus Christ and Amelia Earhart
I’ve always been envious of the people who got to meet Jesus while He was living among men. Not that I have any doubt about his existence (there are records from Jewish and Roman chroniclers as well; it’s not just the Bible) or his godness, but it would be awesome to have a concrete andContinue reading “Jesus Christ and Amelia Earhart”
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”
