Reminiscing Childhood in the Desert Zone
Which do I love, the frying heat of Arizona’s summer land, or the boiling heat of Philippine’s all-year-round tropical climate? I love the pristine desert mountains of Arizona. Oh my, one of the most beautiful views I’ve ever seen, but an unfriendly beauty during hot summer days. I love the tropical lush of my native land – Philippines. My only complain is living in the city where it is hotter and dustier. But I miss … Read entire article »

Oh, the Joys of Easter
Oh, the joys of Easter… Other than believing firmly that God exists, that He died for us to redeem our sins and rose again, the other joys of Easter are baking Easter cookies with kids; decorating, painting eggs and finding them; giving; having a family-get-together; and making new friends. Isn’t it wonderful? We got the opportunity of baking cookies with my friend’s lovely kids. As I forgot to bring with us those flowery, colorful cookie sprinklers, we … Read entire article »
Are Gentlemen Endangered Species?
I heard a number of times here in the U.S. that some women are not comfortable, feeling inferior from men opening a door for them. So if I still lived in my country (Philippines), I wouldn’t have asked this question. Males there are trained to be gentlemen starting from their Moms or Dads to schools. Ladies are celebrating with these gentlemen’s showdown. We do not feel inferior when a man opens the door for us, … Read entire article »
Terrible Two is Over, Now What?
Balloon Craze Today was her 3rd birthday. We went to a department store to shop what we needed for the rest of the day for her (our toddler’s) birthday bash. At first we sighted balloons, which she longed to have each time we go shopping. Now she finally has it – 2 of them birthday balloons. Big smile. She now wants to get out from her stroller so she could parade those balloons as we walked … Read entire article »

Meet Earl, A Passionate Photographer
Meet Earl, my little brother (duh, he’s taller than me), a passionate photographer I never knew until I left my country. His talent better than the photographer we hired on our wedding day (I wish he did it for me). But see how technology can inspire one artist. Finding great camera and play with it first has given him power to beautify a photo like you’ve never seen before. He was working as photo/graphics editor at … Read entire article »

Hidden Carcinogenic Chemicals in Baby Products and Adult Personal Care
Subscribe to Comments on this post by Email I was searching for baby product manufacturer’s coupons to post in my blog to share to everyone until I came across the news about toxins in baby products. Unfortunately, most of the manufacturer’s coupons I gathered were from popular companies whose products contain toxic chemicals when inhaled or penetrated through the skin.
