Aside from his business savvy, technical insight, wardrobe that included a black, long-sleeved mock turtleneck by St. Croix, Levi’s 501 blue jeans and New Balance 991 sneakers, the great Steve Jobs, former Apple CEO who passed away on October 5, 2011, is also famous for his quotes. Here are some of them: 1. My model […]
Budget 101: Learn To Say No
In just about any situation a person would find himself in, where he would have to decide between now and then, today and tomorrow, this and that, “I’m sorry” is probably not as hard as saying “no.” A one-syllable word, a two-letter utterance, but many people have a heck of a time saying “no.” And […]
Writer’s Block and the Game of Thrones
You probably had noticed I haven’t published any new posts last week. (Okay, so maybe I was the only one who noticed.) That was because I was seriously suffering from writer’s block. Yes, seriously! And even now, I have a feeling the ability to impart what I have in mind in a coherent enough fashion […]
The Cat, the Dog and the Mayor
I am not a cat person, but I don’t hate cats. I’m afraid of cats, but every time I see a stray cat alone and crying, my heart goes out to the poor thing. My fear, if indeed that is fear, of cats started when I accidentally stepped on one while doing the laundry one […]
What to Do Before, During and After a Flood
Water in a pitcher in the refrigerator, in a dispenser in the workplace, in a swimming pool in the village clubhouse, in the sea on a scorching summer’s day – this is water that is sure to make at least one person smile. But raging floodwater on a stormy day? Definitely not something to smile about. […]
My Typhoon Ondoy Story
Two years had come and gone since the wrath of typhoon Ondoy was witnessed and felt by the Greater Manila Area, most especially Marikina, Cainta, Pasig and the surrounding cities. My family and I were residing in Pasig when this all happened. I was on vacation leave the day before the tragedy struck, to prepare […]
Problem with a Relative Owing You Money and Not Paying You Back?
People, generally speaking, value relationships, especially rewarding and symbiotic relationships. In facilitating this form of relationship, Filipinos are widely known for a trait called pakikisama. And just like anything of value, pakikisama has two faces, the good side and the abused side. What if out of pakikisama – or sheer generosity, for that matter – […]
Inflation and the Average Consumer
Before I go on about this topic on inflation, allow me to make a disclaimer first and foremost. I am not old, exclamation point. As the wizened folks in my hometown would often say, “Only carabaos grow old.” I agree, and still with an exclamation point. Okay. I feel better now. And now that we […]
Budget 101: Live Within Your Means
Living within someone’s means is perhaps an argument that can only be resolved as soon as the term “means” is afforded a definition. “Means” may mean “income” to one person but can mean “income inclusive of savings” to another person.” For the purposes of discussion, we will be taking the second definition as our definition […]
Career Mom Online Now Has Its Own Domain
This probably is not my turf, as I’m no tech blogger. But for the sake of those of you who might be going through the same situation, allow me to share with you my somewhat grueling and nerve-wracking experience with Paypal, Unionbank’s EON, GoDaddy and how I got to have my old blogspot address linked […]
