    CJ’s growing up really fast. I can’t believe he’s a year old already. We’re glad that he’s at the pink of health and his development in terms of mental and physical capabilities is astounding. Watching him grow up is definitely one of my life’s joys. We’re very thankful for this first year. CJ’s journey from…

    As discussed in some of my previous post, goal-setting can sometimes be a daunting task. Here’s a technique that I find helpful for setting goals.

    This weekend was pretty interesting. We didn’t go out today. And it was because of Manny Pacquiao. We usually go on picnics or go joyriding on a Sunday.

    I attended my first DirectWithHotels (DWH) company townhall meeting yesterday. I was one of the 10 or so new zimmies introduced that day. Well, I really didn’t need any introduction for most of my fellow zimmies, considering that I am the reigning “Miss DWH” title holder. This was from a mock pageant held during our…

    I spent the entire All Saint’s Day at home. I don’t usually go cemetery-hopping to honor and pray for the dead, since I don’t have a relative’s grave nearby to go to in the first place! My dad, a fighter pilot, was presumed to have died at sea in the vicinity of the Palawan Islands.…
