Home Alone for too long?!?

Posted on | February 10, 2012 | No Comments

Oh my goodness! I saw Macaulay Culkin‘s name trending for a few hours in Twitter this afternoon. When I checked, it was because of this photo of him…

Macaulay Culkin

Whatever happened to the man??? The jokes that went around Twitter was that he was left Home Alone (alluding to his famous movie franchise) too long!

Fame and fortune didn’t do him any good at all. Not to mention the fact he had a bad set of parents who were more interested in the money he made from the Home Alone movies than in his well-being.

Offering payment choices

Posted on | February 3, 2012 | No Comments

The woman who owns the online shop which is fast becoming very popular among women of all ages is now offering payment choices for all her shoppers. She now has ach payment option unlike before when she only accepts bank deposits. It was a hassle for her shoppers and they told her about it. She has regular shoppers who told her that if she didn’t offer payment alternative she would lose potential regular shoppers as not everyone has the time to go out and deposit payments to her bank account. Not everyone has online banking.

So the woman did her best to offer other payment schemes. Her shop now accepts cash, card payments, Paypal as well as check payments.

Word will surely go around and she better prepare her server for the onslaught of shopping done on her site!

Trip to Orlando

Posted on | January 31, 2012 | No Comments

My good friend told me that she and her man are planning a trip to Orlando by March of this year. Hooray for them! I actually felt jealous because I’ve always wanted to go to Orlando and visit the theme parks there. She told me they are already checking out Disney World hotels and will most likely stay for only a weekend. Both of them are working and can’t really take a vacation leave.

Still… A weekend in Orlando will surely be a lot of fun! I know because I’ve researched about the place and a trip to Orlando only means a trip to never ending fun and laughter.

Grow old with you

Posted on | January 23, 2012 | No Comments

This song by Adam Sandler never fails to elicit a response from me. It is so romantic and I can picture not only myself but several people close to me growing old with their special someone in life. A cabin somewhere complete with rustic furniture inside and a fireplace to keep them warm with a plush hearth rug in front of it… a bottle of wine and maybe strawberries dipped in chocolate… the radio playing a mellow music in the background… lights are off except for the fireplace and it’s either raining or snowing outside… and a couple sitting side by side, holding hands and kissing. What a sweet picture inside my head!

I want to grow old with someone special but if there’s no one out there for me, then so be it. I just hope all my love ones will have someone to hold them and grow old with them and be with them in that scenario in my mind.

Helper’s dad

Posted on | January 23, 2012 | No Comments

My dad has a helper for the stuff he has to do at home daily. His name is Vince. My dad pays him to help him out with cleaning the house and running errands for us. Vince has six younger siblings. He helps his parents earn a living to make ends meet. His dad is currently holding a kitchen crew job in a local restaurant but is still looking for Fast Food Cook Jobs. It will be a second job for him apart from the weekend job that he holds with a catering company.

It’s so easy to find a job these days if only the person applying will not be choosy of the type of work he will get. And if a family of young kids is waiting for food to be set on the table, then finding a job is a must!

Break time

Posted on | January 23, 2012 | No Comments

I had a break time from work last week and I spent the three days with love ones. We went to this out of town bazaar and there was a mini festival of some sort. There were so many things to see and we feasted not only our eyes but also out tummies with sumptuous food as well as items that we couldn’t resist buying like the Joe Rocket Jackets for the guys and several cute tees for the girls.

I just love spending time with my love ones. They are so much fun to be with! I know some people think it’s plain boring to be spending a vacation with the family but for me it’s the best way to spend what little break time I have!

Something for granny

Posted on | January 23, 2012 | No Comments

My gran has been feeling under the weather for a few days now. I know that she needs some cheering up so what I will do is order one of those granny gourmet gifts I saw, Red Velvet Cupcakes, and will go visit her this weekend. I will spend time with the woman who was there for me when my mom was busy with my siblings.

Whenever I think of my gran, I know that there will be at least a few more years I can spend with her. She is not getting any younger and I know that an assortment of ailments has cropped up over the last couple of years that make her go weak from time to time. I just pray that I can spend more quality time with her and show her how much I love her in my own way.

Never forget

Posted on | January 17, 2012 | No Comments

One of the things I learned over the years is to never forget… Never forget the good things that happened to you. Never forget the people who helped propel you to the level you are in now. Never forget the good things and throw away all the bad ones.

As a way to never forget, I am thinking of giving stainless steel partner rings to two persons who are always there for me. Through thick or thin they stood by me and never left my side. The two persons who saw me suffer through the worse periods of my life and who helped me pick myself up and move on.
