Check out these black wedge booties I bought at Target for $29.99, pretty affordable huh! Ladies, you don't have to spend your entire paycheck on a pair of shoes. To find great items like this one, all it takes is a little determination and light digging. I'll probably wear these out by the end of winter but at $29.99, who cares? … [Read more...]

Every now and then, Alex and I have our little sister/brother moment. Guess I should say brother/sister moment because it reads better, but I'm the oldest. Anyway, he’s simple and likes what he likes. As long as what we do involves some sort of Game Boy, X-Box or Nitendo, he’s good to go. Since he was off from school today due to the Senate election, I brought him to … [Read more...]

As soon as my feeble legs hit the carpet this morning, I wanted to reach for the bengay, icy hot, or any ointment whose purpose is to banish muscle aches. Instead, I settled for a hot shower and hoped the shooting jets would soothe the dull pain coursing through my limbs. Alas, the only relief I felt was when the billowing warm steam in the bathroom replaced the morning’s … [Read more...]

With today being "All Hallows Eve," It’s no surprise my mind has taken a stroll down the trail of the supernatural. I don’t care much for Halloween but I have found myself wearing a costume on a few occasions, mainly in the spirit of accommodation and participation. Looking back now, I wished I never swayed from my beliefs. But it’s kind of hard to deny Alex -- my … [Read more...]

It’s a bit early for snow with it being only the end of October, but, here it is ladies and gents -- the first snow of the season. No tricks here definitely a rare treat! I perched myself on the edge of my window and nearly dropped my camera down unto the sodden ground to take these photos. That would have put a damper on my entire day but I'm happy to report,  all is … [Read more...]

My cousin Robino came over the other day, we all call him Nono for short. I hadn’t seen much of him after his…ordeal and missed him tremendously. Anyway, we were in the midst of catching up when he suddenly exclaimed “have you heard about Amber Cole?"  I told him I hadn’t and immediately demanded to know about this mysterious girl who had ended our conversation so … [Read more...]

With the holiday season approaching, I’ve been feeling a bit nostalgic. Thus, I decided to take a much needed trip down memory lane. I stumbled upon a few pictures of the family on the Bryant Park skating rink on Christmas day, 2007. Mommy’s to the right (I’m right beside her), she must have been quite chilly that day because she’s always the first to remove her hat when the … [Read more...]

During my teenage years, I would always be down in the dumps on my birthday, wondering where the year had gone. Boundless questions like, what have I done all year? have I accomplished anything other than take up space? or made a difference, even in some minute way would be ricocheting against the walls of my anxious brain. It was exhausting being so negative at a period I … [Read more...]
