Last week, my friends and I attended our first Paint Nite at Pinocchio's in Pasadena. Essentially Paint Nite is a two-hour … Continue reading Paint Nite at Pinocchio’s
2016 came and went faster than any other year of my existence. In 2016, I started a new chapter of my life that has been filled with challenge after challenge after challenge. But in more ways than one, it has been incredibly rewarding. What may come easy to others has required much more from me. … Continue reading Where did 2016 go?
There are very few things in life that people can't take away from you, one of which is knowledge. Always remain teachable. Even when you feel you may know everything there is left to know about life, stay teachable. It'll be your greatest asset till you're gray and old. You'll thank yourself. But unfortunately there … Continue reading Random Thought of the Day
What on Earth spurred a blog post about pens? Well, this week there were some really great sales at Office Depot and Staples on pens.

I can't believe we're already in the third week of 2016. 2015 is starting to feel so far away...not much really. When we got from Vegas after New Year's Day, we headed over to Pasadena to view the floats from the Rose Parade. I haven't done that since I was in grade school, so it … Continue reading Rose Parade 2016 Showcase of Floats

However, my mom wanted to get away from Los Angeles for the New Year and, of course, Vegas is always her first choice. Las Vegas on New Year's Day is not my scene whatsoever.

It's a new year and I'm so ready to take the bull by its horns! I made the decision last year that I'd make resolutions that are more realistic, will help me out in the long run, and are things I won't bargain with to break.

To Filipinos, the Philippine film industry is well-known for one of two things: great comedies and romantic dramas. It's no surprise that my top three Filipino movies are romantic dramas ("Labs Kita, Okey Ka Lang? (1998)", "Dahil Mahal Na Mahal Kita (1998)" and "One More Chance (2007)"). In 2007 we were introduced to the love … Continue reading The Love Story of Popoy and Basha
