Meet our new baby, Timmy!
He’s only six months old but he looks big for his age. He does nothing the whole day but sleep, eat, play around with his tennis ball and just be adorably cute! With this Persian kitten around, constantly running and licking my feet, I have learned to watch my steps. [...]

I wish there is a clear solution to my situation. A detailed step by step of what-to-do that even a grade five student can easily follow. What I only have right now is a dream without the short-term goals. It’s frustrating to wake up everyday not knowing what’s in store for me in the next [...]

The past week ended quite abruptly. I started having stomach cramps, the kind women would only understand, last Tuesday and it lasted for three days. It was only bearable during the first day. On the eve of the second day till early morning of the third day, it already became an effort for me to [...]

As I type this, my parents are already in the airport waiting to board their much awaited flight to Philippines leaving me, my older sister and ‘uncles’ here at home. I hope they get to do everything they planned to do back home without the drama, disappointment and headache relatives bring when they come to [...]

My hatest part of working, believe it or not, is going to and from work. I don’t own a car (not yet though) and taking the bus is a dangerous option. I’d still have to walk roughly fifteen minutes and cross the road twice before I’d safely reach my workplace.
If only I weren’t wearing heels [...]

For over a month, I’ve tasted and encountered first hand a lot of what this little country has to offer that are just worth writing about. Here’s a random dose of Kuwait:
Dates have now become my latest fruit addiction. If you’d asked me to eat this four years ago, without a doubt I would probably say no. That’s how much I hated this middle east staple fruit before. Well surprisingly, I’ve [...]

ABS-CBN is broadcasted all over the world through The Filipino Channel. I don’t watch local channels regularly back home, and I still don’t up to now. But my mom does and she has been an avid viewer of the channel ever since her operation early this year. Willie Revillame’s Wowowee is her favorite show and her day is incomplete if she [...]

I hope all of you had a wonderful time with your families this past long weekend. Now that ramadan holidays are over, my quest for a stable job continues.
Like I always do, I woke up today and stepped out the veranda while cooking breakfast to get a fresh air. A nice, cool breeze blew in to my surprise. If the weather continues [...]

It’s been almost a week since I arrived in Kuwait. It’s foggy and hot here just like I’ve imagined. But compared to Saudi Arabia, it’s a work in progress. Constructions of box-like buildings, houses and malls are just everywhere. I have not seen anything like this before but it’s nice to see the improvements being made everyday.
A lot has happened this week. I’ve [...]

I’ve started packing. This has nothing to do with me getting excited for my trip this weekend. Because believe it or not, I’m not really excited. At least, that’s what I keep telling myself.
All my clothes are now lying in my bed and I’m making a conscious effort of separating the ones that I’ll be [...]
