Make your mama proud

Posted by: applesh on: March 22, 2007

No, this post is not related to this famous band. This post is just that… making mama proud.. the mama being me.
I went to my kid’s school today for the standard parent-teacher meeting that happens at the end of each semester.
The meeting went like most meetings like this would go. We talked about [...]

On family abandonment in the Philippines

Posted by: applesh on: March 17, 2007

I came across this article from Inquirer.net while researching about something that was mentioned by Katrina Legarda in our IWD celebration. It gave more insight into what I have observed in my short stay in Singapore and what has been a-buzz among my friends who are either abroad or are left behind by wives or [...]

Posted by: applesh on: March 8, 2007

I must say today has been an amazing experience. Not only because today I will join the hundreds of women employees of our organization to celebrate womanhood, but because today is the day I got educated on the realities of women in society, and what it means to be a woman in your family, in [...]

Keeping it real

Posted by: applesh on: March 6, 2007

I was looking for words today… when I came upon this piece by Bel Poblador. It was written maybe to keep in tune with the occasion (which was Valentine’s Day at the time).
The article came up with the words that I have long been wanting to write myself… about love… marriage… and the reality [...]

Tip: Understanding Women

Posted by: applesh on: February 25, 2007

Men are naturally competitive… especially with other men. We all know that. Women are not. We only become “competitive” with other women… when it comes to men’s attention. And that about sums it up.
Women will not be pushed into a competition especially by the people they love. And we will never respond to a [...]

Perfect help for perfect proposals

Posted by: applesh on: February 12, 2007

I have been meaning to post about Ganns site for a long time but am only now doing so.
I was intrigued when he told us about their wedding proposal consulting company. I thought that it was indeed a great idea for a business. With the volume of wedding-related suppliers sprouting up here and there, [...]

Posted by: applesh on: February 5, 2007

I read something about marriage and how Will Smith feels about it in a post in this Blog.
Apparently, he was interviewed by Reader’s Digest and one of the topics they discussed in the interview was his relationship with Jada, his wife.
RD: You and Jada have been married nine years and, by all accounts, are [...]

Life swap and speed sex

Posted by: applesh on: January 20, 2007

I’m currently reading a novel by one of my favorite authors – Jane Green. Life Swap is about two very different women, both equally successful in their life choices and both equally restless and unfulfilled inspite of it. They swap lives and go on for a month-long roller coaster ride.
The book mentioned speed sex. [...]

LSS (Last Song Syndrome)

I came from a family reunion tonight and for some reason, this song stayed with me as I drove home and up till now… sheesh!

I love you baby
And if it’s quite all right
I need you baby to warm a lonely night
I love you baby
Trust in me when I say
Oh pretty baby
Don’t bring me down, I [...]

Posted by: applesh on: December 19, 2006

…. well not exactly…..
Before going to my website, I browsed through pinoyblog.com and came upon this post from Jam. It was the title that caught my eye. Its interesting to see how your own thoughts can also be someone else’s… or how your questions seem to be the same ones you would hear from a [...]
