2011 Summer Garden

Sun, 25 Sep 2011 05:52:41 +0000

I harvested the last of my fruit of labor from my summer garden this year just last week. In fact, even if some of the eggplants and yellow peppers weren’t matured yet, I had to pluck them off because of the sudden drop in temps right around our area.

The eggplants yielded more, simply . . . → Read More: 2011 Summer Garden

Slowly But Surely Dwindling Away

Mon, 25 Jul 2011 01:08:32 +0000

I’m broken hearted, and I’ve been agonizing for weeks. Call me lame but I just can’t accept that my set of this well loved tea bag holder is dwindling. And that is because of me, yes it’s me… due to clumsiness. I’m down to nine pieces from the original one dozen.

I never . . . → Read More: Slowly But Surely Dwindling Away

My Thriving Garden

Sun, 17 Jul 2011 04:40:31 +0000

Though I had no luck with the chives that I planted, I have a different story with the eggplant and pepper. I started my summer garden late because we were away for a few weeks. But knowing that we were not headed anywhere else this summer, instead of getting seeds, I opted for starter . . . → Read More: My Thriving Garden

No Luck

Weeks before my Mom passed away, I got this nifty little postcard in the mail.

I was waiting for the weather to warm up so I can plant it, and before I knew it I was on the plane going to the Philippines to bury my Mom. Naturally, when I came back, . . . → Read More: No Luck

I’m Gardening This Planting Season

Wed, 08 Jun 2011 05:23:18 +0000

Can you guess where I’m using my one level step stool right now, aside from the obvious?

Well, I decided to plant this year, and although I started it rather late because I was just back a few weeks ago and I totally missed the sowing season, I opted for grown seedlings and I . . . → Read More: I’m Gardening This Planting Season

His TV Dilemma

Tue, 07 Jun 2011 05:23:43 +0000

I used to fret about the tv stand in our bedroom. I have since stopped because all I’m waiting for now is a television upgrade so that the TV stand will be upgraded as well. However, the bone of contention is when will it be?

My husband who wants the upgrade more than I . . . → Read More: His TV Dilemma

DIY It Is!

Tue, 07 Jun 2011 05:21:34 +0000

There is no handyman in the house, that’s for sure. Hence, it will be a miracle if I ever get to see any kind of band saw blades at home.

Having said that though, there is a handywoman. And that would be me. While one call to the Maintenance department in our condo is . . . → Read More: DIY It Is!

Memorial Day Weekend 2011

Mon, 06 Jun 2011 03:49:51 +0000

The recent Memorial Day weekend had me and my husband stuck in the house. For the first time in years, we declined invites to backyard barbecues. I was simply not in the mood to socialize given the recent turn of events, and getting dressed to go was simply not a welcoming thought for me.

Sweating It Out

Tue, 24 May 2011 22:03:36 +0000

I’m back, yes, I’m so back but it’s tough. My writing mood comes and goes, and when it’s there, I seize the moment. It’s exactly what I did a few days ago, when I finally updated my other blogs.

Thus, what is keeping me sane nowadays? The gym!!!!

It’s funny, but the last place . . . → Read More: Sweating It Out

At Long Last…

Sun, 20 Mar 2011 01:28:55 +0000

The ordeal is over. We are now…

And we’re thankful that as of late afternoon yesterday, running hot water was restored. However, since we have our our home in the sky (on the 14th floor), we didn’t feel the full effect of the running hot water till midnight.
