Why I was hesitant to volunteer for SJC Kids’ Summer Camp 2017
Summer! A season when the kids are taking their break from school, and this year, SJC has organized another Summer Camp for kids. In the beginning, I have no intention to volunteer for St. Joseph Church Kids’ Summer Camp 2017. Maybe some of you know, my husband Kokobear was the one who posted the ad on CFFL Abu Dhabi FB pages about kids/youth to join this camp, including volunteers. While he was doing that, I little voice inside me says I should give it a try. When I opened it up to Ate Lou, she was excited and so I told her to give me time because I still have…

SHOPBACK PH: SHOP & GET A CASH BACK!
For a “kuripot” person (stingy) like me, it was only early last year (2016) that I learned to purchase some stuff online. Online shopping isn’t really my thing but I have started to enjoy it though. I have this feeling of being not so sure if it does work and to my surprise, it brought me convenience! Just when I thought that online shopping brings convenience, it has become better and found it more alluring when I learned about getting a few bucks back! How would you feel if you get a “cash back” on your purchases online!?! Made me wanna shop all day long! :) hehehe It’s exciting…

Social media has highlighted many #RelationshipGoals photos and videos. In a recent blogpost from one of the bloggers I follow – Kryz on ThirstyThoughts , she wrote an open letter to the millennials… inside that blogpost are beautiful photos of her, but then what happens behind the scene is something not many know. . . which makes a superficial/shallow #hashtags of #WhateverGoals!

Another 8! – My Blogging Journey so far . . .
My Blogging Journey so far . . . If not because of LinkedIn, I won’t remember that during this month (November) in 2008 right before I arrived in Abu Dhabi – I have started my little steps to the world of blogging. . . .
