A yearly tradition I have on the blog is a special post where I list and thank those people who have been dear to me for the year that has passed. I’ve been writing this list since 2011. [Here’s 7 years’ worth of the People of my Year series] It’s no secret that I’ve written […]
Here we go again. A very special tradition I have on this blog is what I call the people of my year. It’s an annual list of special individuals who have greatly influenced me in the year that passed. I tirelessly put up this post year after year to extend my appreciation for whatever they […]
I love travelling, but I also love saving money! Sometimes, these two interests of mine don’t go along very well. In my first two months here in Stuttgart, my priority was not to travel, but to feed myself and figure out how to budget euros instead of pesos. Luckily, I always find ways to keep […]
I can’t believe another year just passed! Here I am again writing down my favorite post series which has been a yearly tradition since 2011. If you’re a first time reader, let me tell you that every start of the year, I list down a number of people who have made significant contributions in my […]

With my blog turning seven this 2017, the tradition of listing down the special people who have made the past year extra special is not something I would let go. This is actually one of those things that I look forward to. I started this list in 2011 and never stopped since then. Every year, […]
It’s crazy how time flies. Thanks to LinkedIn, I was reminded that I’ve actually made a career milestone: it’s my one year anniversary as a writer! Shocking, right? It seems like it was just moments ago that I was a nurse in pristine white uniform, and then I quit that job, and then I had […]
Blogapalooza, Bloggys, Blog O’ Speak, Blogopolis, iBlog: these are just some of the blog conventions I have attended this past two years. In case you are not a blogger yourself, let me walk you through what a “blog convention” is. According to my own dictionary (read: BRAIN), blog conventions are events where bloggers are […]
