Wifely Steps

Tweet I’m turning 27 tomorrow. Do I feel my age? The truth is I feel older than 27. I feel I’m 30. I think it’s because I got tired of the craziness of youth early on and embraced the adult life immediately. I’ve gotten over my workaholic phase a long time ago. I’ve established a routine [...]

Tweet “Kailangan kasi ang katawan sinasanay. Kung maaga ka nagigising, edi makakaiwas ka sa trapik. Kung uma-umaga eh alas-kwatro ang gising mo, alas singko nasa daan, mild lang ang trapik non. Wala kang rason ma-late. Dapat ganong lang, sanayan. Kahit walang pasok, magigising ka ng alas-kwatro, tingnan mo. Tapos maiisip mo na, ay Sabado pala, [...]

Tweet Cinderella, CinderellaH & I swept and scrubbed almost the whole day yesterday. To keep our spirits up, we put on some music. Who can beat the music from Queer Eye for the Straight Guy? I love “All Things (Just Keep Getting Better)” and “You Promised Me.” Playing upbeat music while doing household chores helps lighten [...]

Tweet Tet requested for some tips on losing weight. Hmmm. The best tip is still to exercise regularly and eat right! Here’s a little something on that “eat right” bit. My Mom, my sisters and I used to devour this soup. It’s part of a 7-day diet. The question is, did we lose weight? I [...]

Tweet What tip can I offer today? Well, based on what I learned from this survey, it’s to be optimistic and hang in there. Life isn’t all that bad, even if at a certain point in your life you feel like everything’s crumbling around you. In God’s graces, things will work out for you. Life [...]

Tweet So what’s the difference between sheets that are 50% polyester/50% cotton and 30% polyester/70% cotton? The latter may be of a softer texture but is prone to “himulmol.” (I think that translates to pilling in English.) Since H has allergies to those little things, we thought it best to go with the 50/50. Our [...]

Tweet I have been trying to get back in shape. I started my aerobic workouts this week. I can’t believe that after only three mornings of exercising, I feel so much better about myself. I really hope I maintain this motivation to make myself healthier!   I have tried going to several gyms in the [...]

Tweet Thanks to all those who indulged me in my last entry. I have to admit that I had a lot of fun! Why don’t you guys try the Q&A thing on your blogs? Linnor, tiptoes & Mitch asked: Where do you work and where did you study? I work in an advertising agency based [...]

Tweet Don’t you find it amusing when people think that who you are in your blog is who you are in real life? I don’t think this blog even captures 50% of who I really am! Sometimes we think we know each other so well because of what we read from each other’s blogs — [...]

Tweet “Let us not pray to be sheltered from dangers but to be fearless when facing them.” – Rabindranath Tagore Isn’t that such a beautiful quote? It applies to the smallest challenge to the biggest obstacle one might face. And so this weekend, I tried living that quote out. I got my butt off the [...]
