Last night Reggie and Maya were complaining about the sweltering summer heat. Man, it was hot, even though it was the dead of night. We started talking about the possibility of installing an airconditioner in the house. But when we realized the implications it would have on our electricity bill, we also realized that it […]

On their first day, you could already detect a difference in the apartment. And it has remained so eversince. The apartment’s actually clean! The floors are free of dust, the sink […]
Looking at my Neighbors
My mom has one story she always keeps telling me, and I do remember the scene quite well. I was still a child and we were standing in our house yard, looking out the fence towards our neighbors houses. Then I turned to my mom and asked, “Mi, pobre ba ta?” (Mom, are we poor?) […]

Early Saturday morning, the three of us rode a bus to Alabang, where […]

Beauty Arsenal
I love reading Cosmopolitan Magazine because of all the beauty tips and pieces of advice on other girly stuff that one could pick up there.
