A Home Away from Home
Some jobs require people to leave their homes on a certain period of time. Of course they would rather bring their families with them and have them live temporarily on a certain place than just leave them for a course of a few months or so. But there

Ready for a new look!
One of the things that I love about the weekends is that hubby makes nice breakfast for us. As of this writing, he's making a runny egg sandwich with cheese and bacon for brekkie. Yum! Yum! The smell of it makes me more hungry. Today is going to be b

Juday as Rated A Queen
I've always loved to watch movies. I don't necessarily watch all of them on the big screen but I at least rent it at Video City every chance I got. I thought that I would no longer be able to watch Tagalog films now that I am here in the U.S., but I
