It's About Damn Time

I left my 9-5 job after 7 years and 6 months. The decision was months in the making, and I was not expecting to leave earlier than I initially planned. I planned to resign by end of the year – December and then start new and fresh by January 2023. Yet, our office was notContinueContinue reading “It's About Damn Time”

My Skincare Journey

Let’s talk about skincare. When I was younger (years younger) I never really had problems with my skin and all the while I thought this was because I was lucky. There are times during summer that I get white spots on my face and the only remedy I had was this questionable cream my momContinueContinue reading “My Skincare Journey”

Statistics

Father's Day

There are days when the reminder that my dad has passed becomes truly hard for me to cope. I started receiving e-mails for Father’s Day treats and deals which begs the question – is there a way you can optimize your subscriptions and tick a box saying Dad passed – stop sending Father’s Day notices.ContinueContinue reading “Father's Day”

Capricorns

I was born in St Luke’s Hospital back in 1987 at 05:20AM. My parents only had Php10 with them at the time. Did I mention that my dad always greets on the 15th? Know why from my previous post – 15th. We celebrate birthdays differently at our house. We share it with immediate family and shareContinueContinue reading “Capricorns”

Looking back

Christmas is one of the most awaited holidays of the year. A time when relatives folk back home to join and celebrate the festivities as one big family.
