A few weeks before the holy week, I told my boyfriend Mike, “We’re going to Subic on the holy week with the family.” He raised his eyebrows at me and asked, “What are we going to do there? Pray?” Confused, I repeated, “Pray?” “Well,” he said, “You said it’s the holy week. So I asked …

I’ve always liked being a “slashie.” I like being able to say that I am a marketing professional / writer / blogger / emcee / singer / teacher / homemaker, even though I do not practice these professions all at the exact same time. Somehow, more slashes always made me feel more accomplished. The more …
It’s the New Year, and that only means it’s time to apply that saying “out with the old, in with the new.” The last few days of my 2013 were spent on spring cleaning and parting ways with outfits and shoes that: a) I haven’t used in a long time, or b) I will probably …

In my business attire matched with slippers, I would walk under the sweltering sun, brown envelopes containing my resumes in tow and a pair of high heeled shoes in my bag, as I hopped from …

I may be 29 years old but I don’t think I will ever be too old for Halloween. Maybe it’s because I am into performing, I enjoy playing dress up, and I love kids and being “kid-like,” but whatever the reason is, Halloween is an event I always look forward to every year. In fact, …
