Making Your Perfect Bed
by Cecile Cinco
In the Philippines, we have a saying, “Kung maiksi ang kumot, matutong mamaluktot.” Translation: “If the blanket is short, learn to bend.”
As human beings, with human nature, it is but natural to be dissatisfied, discontent, and wanting. Being in those common attitudes easily get us down, adding stress and wrinkles as we age, faster than those who have contentment in life and adaptable spirit in going about the daily grind.
So what if you lost your bed? The floor is big enough where your bed used to stand! The bums on the streets find the roads as everlasting beds!
In this degrading times, it is not unusual that our standard of living will drop down. Going down means you’ve had your opportunity to be up! And when you’re down, there’s nowhere to go but up! Continue reading »

Listening To Live Classical Guitar
by Cecile Cinco
Behind me, classical guitar music is playing. It’s that time of the year when hubby has to practice for several Special Music for Church performance.
He used to play rock. Any song from the 60s up to 90s, he can play just by listening. When he accompanies someone, he can do so even without knowing the song, better, though, if he at least hears it once. Continue reading »

Two months ago, during the UCG-Manila Women’s Club, we were introduced to jewelry crafting. Our mentor, Nida Panlaqui (suddenly I forgot her married name! Panlaqui is how I’ve known her since about 3 decades ago!) was our resource person. Her mother is a member of our club. Kids of members were also invited so 2 of my girls were there too.

My Birthday Wishes
by Cecile Cinco
I normally forget my birthday. Unless someone else will greet me, I won’t remember, 99% of the time. I don’t blame my husband for not remembering either. He’s just like me. So, if you’re someone close to my heart and I forgot to greet you, don’t take it personally since I forget my own birthday… how much more others’? Continue reading »

Wishlist | Comments (2)Getting Love From BloggerLuv!
by Cecile Cinco
More than a month ago, I joined BloggerLuv because I found out it has Facestream. BloggerLuv is one out of ten in the list that I joined that I go back to every so often. No longer because of Facestream (which has some problems at the moment) but because of the people. People are supportive of each other. The site owner, John, encourages bloggers to post their links as the site is dofollow. Continue reading »

Game | Comments (4)We Are Dancing Tarantella!
by Cecile Cinco
Every year, we prepare for the Festival Show which is shown in one of the nights of the Feast of Tabernacles celebrated by the United Church of God members all around the world. We, as always, are attending the Baguio City feast site.
It is only during the Festival Show that I get involved in dancing and it is only with the church choir that I get to sing. Not that I wanted to desperately. Rather, those are my inhibitions and it is only through the church activities that I get myself involved. Continue reading »

Why I Basically Do Not Get Stressed: Dealing With Stress

I consider myself stressless amidst stressful situations that most others will normally burst into anger, rage, depression, and whatever emotion that results due to the stressful situation. Without that stressful situation, emotions would normally be connected to peace, serenity, tranquility.

What does it take to be stressless? For me: Continue reading »

Interior Design, Solutions | Comments (2)Curtains vs. Blinds
by Cecile Cinco
Curtains and blinds beautify the window area but depending on your need, one is better than the other.
Curtains are made of cloth, sewn to appear as the design one wanted. As cloth, dirt like dust and grime (especially in the kitchen area) stick to the cloth which will need laundry to make it clean. Small curtains may not be that difficult to manage but when you have bigger ones, especially drapes, laundry becomes much of a hassle. You get to spend much on laundry soap too! Continue reading »

Interior Design | Comment (0)Using Real Greeting Cards
by Cecile Cinco
I don’t open virtual greeting cards since long time ago when bad people started to attach virus on them. Besides, it’s not lasting. You can’t hold them. You can only read them but you can’t see the handwriting of the person who sent it.
I love cards. I still keep those sent to me since I was a teenager. I still have all the letters sent to me since the 80s. Whereas the virutal cards, I delete them. Continue reading »

I’ve experienced a real fireplace when I was very young. I knew it was enjoyable to watch and a fun way to spend the night in cold weather. I like bonfire better, though, but that’s outdoors. Now, since Baguio is not as cold anymore, I didn’t get the chance to experience such joy again. Continue reading »

Do you have that special someone that you call and/or text more than you do anyone else? That special someone may be your better half, your girl or boy friend, your daughter or son, your mom or dad, your best friend, or simply your phone or text pal.
How much do you spend? Do you think it is more expensive than P175 a month? How about P150 a month? If you answer yes, then you have to read on! Especially at this time of saving (even forced due to the economy), we should always be aware and on the lookout for ways to stretch that Philippine Peso a little bit longer. Continue reading »

Muscles, Muscles!
by Cecile Cinco
When we (my family) watch movies, we always tend to look at those manly figures such as Nicolas Cage (Con Air) and Matt Damon (Bourne Identity), who are body fit with just the right amount of muscles and agility. I don’t like Arnold Schwarzenegger (Terminator) who is too muscled. Sylvester Stallone is ok especially in his Rambo series. Continue reading »
