At home, the family is usually complete during dinnertime. It is during this time that we talk about what happened during the day. It is also mostly set aside for the reminders about behavior, chores, and schoolwork. If we get notes from the teacher about certain concerns, we talk about that over dinner.

I certainly would like to have these moments with people I work with at Essays.PH. I know that we work online and we have a different kind of working environment but sometimes, there are things you can only implant if you’re face-to-face with a person. Read the rest of this entry »

It’s been a while since I have sent revision requests and PMs of slot release and warn increase to any of the homebased writers @ EPH. I also haven’t typed anything on the Papyrus dashboard for (9) Thursdays since this last post. I’ve been out of the loop and it’s only this week that I’ve heard about the new characters at the forums through the chief editor.

So, Halloween’s knocking again and I should be preparing my kids’ costumes for the activities lined up – but we’re not attending any this year. Our son simply outgrew it. While there is no issue with our ever-sociable 3-year old, I have to say I just feel lazy to think about a unique costume for any of them.

Indeed, something huge such as an event of a lifetime could prove to be very overwhelming when it’s your big day and you don’t want it to be anything but perfect. Because of extreme excitement, overflowing number of ideas, and so many options available – you simply do not know how to start with the planning (or preps at that!). Read the rest of this entry »

A few minutes from now, it will be Friday. I am a Thursday blogger for Papyrus, so yes – this is really late. I’ve been itching to post “Requesting for a GC. Will submit tomorrow…” but that line is not applicable here. Read the rest of this entry »

September is special. Although a couple of tragedies happened during this month (9/11 in the US, and 2009 Ondoy), September still is a month many look forward to. Read the rest of this entry »

So, yeah… that’s a line from the animated flick, Despicable Me (still showing as of this post). It was so easy to fall for that big-eyed, little girl Agnes who threw this question at the main character, Gru (a huge guy with long, slender legs who lives in a spooky house, drives a rocket car, and carries a retractable blaster and freeze ray in his pocket).

… my namesake.

When I read the news online about a tropical depression lurking east of North Luzon I had two silent reactions: scared for those who might be gravely affected by its “maximum winds of 65 kph near the center and gustiness of up to 80 kph” and amused that it’s named Glenda.
