where I blog about the fun things I do to entertain myself…

tv drama

A favorite pastime of some people is to watch television series which features stories of ordinary people’s lives with some lessons in life at its end. In the Philippines, one story of a “ tele-serie” drama which still rings in the minds of the avid fans, even if this has already ended, was about Mesothelioma [...]


wanna be a celebrity?

Looking at the pictures and movies of celebrities and appreciating how they always look so beautiful and gorgeous, I wonder how they can maintain their smiles and good disposition before the camera and with people, even under stressful circumstances in their lives. They must be self-disciplined to maintain hectic schedules and at the same time [...]


money matters

One of the causes of misunderstanding among married couples is about finances. This is caused sometimes if the wife is just buying according to her whims, just leaving out the important and basic family needs, most of all those of the hubby’s.

condominium investment

I’m getting excited about one of my investments, my condominium unit located in Paranaque City. It may not be that posh or lavish as one of those Santa Cruz homes but I’m proud about this unit. Its location is considered ideal for those who want everything within reach as it is just few minutes from [...]


on teleconferencing

Teleconferencing has become more accepted and acknowledged by big companies and organizations these days. Aside from savings in finances, business meetings via teleconferencing means no more travel, thus saving employees’ time and effort. For environmentalists out there, this means reduced carbon emissions.
