Shopaholic

What is a shopaholic? According to Wikipedia it is a slang term for oniomania, or compulsive shopping.  This person can’t control himself from shopping.  Well, who doesn’t want to shop.  Bet everyone of us has a tendency of being one especially when you’re well-off.  My favorite place in a department store is the women’s shoes section and the kids’ apparels section.

I remember when I met a shopaholic when I was a Sales Clerk in Sta. Lucia Department Store (children’s department) years back.  I kept on asking myself what she’s doing with those apparels? Aren’t her cabinets full yet? Just can’t believe that there’s such a person as shopaholic.

How is Your Health

Nowadays, a lot of people are suffering from different illnesses.   There’s this hypertension, diabetes, urinary tract infection, tuberculosis, kidney problems, gallstones, cirrhosis etc… Have you ever wonder where it came from?  Is it from our poor eating habit? Lack of  exersice?  Which made us physically unfit? I guess YES… and to avoid this we must exercise, educate on what to eat and not, take Apidexin to eliminate those excess fats, spend time in a health spa, etc…

We must be aware and conscious on our bodies’ needs to be healthy. I know it’s not easy to take care of it, but if we love our family and ourselves, we must have an extra effort to do so.  And so the saying goes… “Health is Wealth”.

Rest in Peace, Michael Jackson


The King of Pop died today at the age of 50 (born on August 29, 1958). I myself was shocked when I heard the news this morning.  Surely his millions of fans around the world mourn upon hearing the shocking news.  As of this moment, the reason of his death is still unknown to the public but hopefully be announced soon for I’m sure all of us are eager to know.

Michael left us with so many beautiful and inspiring music.  And I’m sure even he already passed away, his music will still linger in our hearts.  Fans in United States are lucky enough for they have a chance to take a last look on Michael. But bet must be prepared because it won’t be that easy.

What are most likely to bring if you plan to go to his burial?  money, sleeping bags, Bob stroller, food, camera, clothes etc…

And to you Michael, May you Rest In Peace.

Trip to Baguio City

Summer Capital of the Philippines.  This is Baguio City!  I can’t count how many times I’ve been there since I was 12.  Love to go there because of the beautiful scenery (I am a nature lover) and cold climate.  But there is one thing I haven’t tried yet until now… the horseback riding!  I don’t know, I wanna try it but I have always a thought that the horse can’t carry me. (hehehe).  The last time I went there was in January 2008 with my balikbayan relatives, friends and family.

I was able to see Mines View Park again.  There’s this attraction… to take pictures with a St. Bernard dog, a horse and  an Igorot costume.  I’m sure this horsetaker has a lot of horse supplies for his pet horse for he gains a lot from him.

I won’t ever get tired of going to Baguio City because for me this place is the best place to chill.
