Who doesn’t love weddings?

I get excited whenever wedding invitations find their way to us with our names written on special envelopes that seem to say “You are special and you are invited”.

Getting married these days seems like a breeze with all those wedding coordinators doing almost everything for the couple who are about to tie the knot. But of course, all these services equates to lots and lots of moolah.

My youngest child once asked me: “Which is important the sacrament of matrimony or the wedding party?”

I hope those who are planning their weddings know the right answer to this question.

Spaghetti, with or without meatballs ( I prefer without because these meatballs make my tummy feel uncomfortable) is one of the absolute comfort food favorites.

For us, we prefer our spaghetti smelling of herbs and spices rather than the “sweet style” spaghetti our Filipino kababayans like to have. I tend to cook unconventional pasta dishes from time to time.

Give me a plate of this anytime soon and I may even forget that I am on the lookout for the best diet pills for women. Hay, I’m craving for a plate of this right now and I think later I will…

Can friends sustain friendship while being business partners?

I hope so.

I know people who have been friends for a long time who became business partners. The friendship was affected due to this business venture.

There are conflicting articles like this and this.

I guess it all boils down to good planning and management so that conflicts, especially major ones, can be avoided.

I have a secret wish list. This wish list is known to my husband and children though.

In it are the things I think I (ok WE) need.

In the list are mostly tangible things that I wish to have because I need them to make life and living easier. The items in the list are possible to have IF ONLY… or AFTER WE SETTLE THIS AND THAT RESPONSIBILITY…

I guess I am a patient person since most of the items in my wish list can be had IF I insist but still I wait for a better opportunity AND I wait until I am sure there is no other responsibility that will be forgotten.

I’m sure the children understand because they are patient too, waiting for us until we are ready to fulfill their wishes too.

I also make sure I don’t get these items in the wish list when I know some are out of reach or even out of sight.

I know we have to work harder in order to see that the things in my wish list are granted.

For how long? Until we can manage to make do without these. Continue Reading »

It gives me joy to be able to go home and visit my parents.

Aside from the fact that I would be able to spend a few hours with my parents, traveling on country road is a relaxing experience for me, seeing so much greenery without billboards and steel buildings blocking the view.

We would probably do a lot of traveling as a family if only we have the time, resources and a house-sitter who can be trusted to be left behind. For now, we don’t have plenty of all three things.
