Interlude
Haven’t been feeling well these days;think I need to rest for a while; will see you all again SOON.
When I am dead my dearest…
(Digital painting by Marco)
While blog surfing, I came across Housebandoo’s blog at AnnaManila’s site. I was so touched by this entry, and instantly recalled the usual nights of snuggling with my husband, in which I would kid him -”What if I die ahead of you?” Then our conversation would divert to death and on […]
Candles burnin’
“It is better to light just one little candle than to stumble in the dark…”
The day after my daughter was discharged from the hospital following her bout with panic attack, we both heard mass at the St. John’s Cathedral. This was the first time in a long while that we heard mass again in […]
Why flowers mean more on ordinary days
by Louie Tacker
I visited this blog of my friend today, and I chuckled dearly all the way over here in America. Well, I guess men are men and women are women no matter what part of the world we live in. LOL
As I read the entry on “He doesn’t bring me flowers anymore (at all)!, […]

Perfect Prom Dress
There’s only a little more than two weeks to go before my daughter’s prom night, and we are having a difficulty on where to find the perfect prom dress for her. If only the school administration decided earlier on whether or not they would be holding a prom this year, then we could have made […]
HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!
What’s this that got me today… I usually regard this day, Valentine, as just an ordinary day. But when I got up this morning, I suddenly had the urge to bloghop and greet my blogger friends. But I’m not even halfway through, and the clock is ticking and appointments are waiting, so let me just […]
He doesn’t bring me flowers (anymore) at all!
He never brought me flowers. Even during our brief, whirlwind courtship, he never brought me any - not even a petal of a wilting rose - ever! The only thing I remember he gave me was barbecue from a sidewalk vendor, wrapped in brown paper bag - which he impishly handed me while […]
Anna Nicole Smith - a life wasted
Contributed by Louie Tacker
I feel compelled to write about this, although the story is not so fresh anymore. But I just want to go over some highlights.
I for one, have always been rather unimpressed with Anna Nicole Smith and any so called “Hollywood people.” (Please see related entry Stars or Snobs.) But when you live […]
My daughter’s panic attack
“Ma, you have something to blog about,” my 16-year old daughter Gem said, trying to humor me even in a state of discomfort while she breathed through an oxygen tube.
“No, baby, stop,” I cut in.
“You shouldn’t say that. I don’t care if I can’t write or can’t blog. I don’t care even if I run […]
