Going to a pot


1. When was the last time you smoked pot? Never did try it in my entire life….and I wouldn’t ever dare try it.

2. What do you think is your biggest weakness? My fear of failure.

3. What is your biggest fear? Losing my loved ones.

4. Is there a particular goal that you’d like accomplish this year? I want to save so we could purchase all our home needs.

5. What do you miss most from your youth? Going out with friends. My Dad is too strict that I am not allowed to go out especially during night except during school activities.

7. Are you very confident? I am confident, sometimes very confident but I don’t want to be overly confident to the point of being egocentric and narcissistic.

9. Have you ever cheated on a lover? NEVER.

Not A-Ok

It’s Saturday! I was supposed to do the laundry but I don’t feel well. Maybe it could wait until Monday but I have to make sure I wash a couple of Ace’ uniforms so he has something to wear on Monday and Tuesday. Then MIL texted they’ll (PILS with Ace’ older brother and family) be eating dinner here. Geee! I am not in the mood to entertain guests much more exhaust myself in straightening the house and taking care of their needs when they are here. Self-help isn’t part of their vocabulary so I must see to it that everything they need is within their reach or literally hand everything to them. I was quite annoyed at the manner of informing me their decision without asking first if it is ok with us (me, especially because I will be the one to do everything here) so I told Ace having them over here for dinner is not OK with me. I know Ace was hurt but I am just telling him what I felt about it. He knew exactly what I feel about his side for relying everything (house chores) to me even when we were living with his parents. That is what exactly the reason of some arguments between us so when we moved, I was really relieved.

I want Wednesday #21

What do you want to know today.

I want to know if our neighbor’s boss will push through his plan of hiring me to work with them (crossing my fingers and my toes*lol*)

I use eggshells to fertilize my plants…no other ways I could think of to use it in the kitchen or even the entire house. But here’s new better way to clean those hard to reach bottle edges with eggshells.

Original purpose: Playing a central role in the chicken-and-egg debate.

Aha! use: Cleaning the hard-to-reach places in bottles and vases. Drop some crushed shells in the bottle, add warm water and a drop of dishwashing liquid, and give it a good swirl.

Reward: Shells that scrape off the gunk you can’t get to, so you can save your elbow grease for the dinner dishes.

What’s cooking?



1. Which meal is the one you cook best? I couldn’t simply choose and hubby would surely disagree if I choose because according to him, I could cook great tasting meals.

2. Tell us what you would never eat. Exotic foods such as snake. Yucks!

3. Is your hometown famous for anything or anybody? Yes. We have the first ever state university in central Mindanao.

4. Can you play a musical instrument? During my high school years, I could play guitar (with the simplest chords) but I don’t think I could still play it now ‘coz it’s been ages already since I last played a guitar.

5. Tell us about your second ever lover. I don’t have one. Hubby’s the first and the last.

6. What is your favorite restaurant? Here in Davao, Little Ding How or Little Kowloon or any of its counterpart in Cebu.

7. If it were your call, how often would you make love? As often as we can IF we have time.

8. What famous person would you like to have dinner with? The owner of one of the biggest conglomerate in the country – JG Summit, John Gokongwei and his son, the President and CEO of Universal Robina and Cebu Pacific Air – Lance Gokongwei. I would also have dinner with Danding Cojuangco.

9. Tell us about your job. I am a fulltime blogger and a fulltime housewife. I spend most of my waking hours in front of the PC, straightening the house, cooking or doing the laundry.
