ON RELATIONSHIPS I

I can see this as a first in a series, as relationships, inter-personal, are involved, practically during most of our waking hours. Unless you're a hermit. I'm imparting to you most of what I know, about dealing with people, making and keeping friends, common courtesies, etc. These advises will definitely be invaluable to you in your journeys(you 2).

1. Acknowledgement - Acknowledge people and their achievements, little successes. Nothing hurts more than having your sincerest efforts trivialized.

2. Remembers people's names - They say its the sweetest sound to one's ears. Maybe not, if you're named Lucifer, or maybe Zorayda... Well, Zorayda may be a beautiful name elsewhere... Maybe even Lucifer... :D

3. Be on time - Time is limited. Don't waste other people's time irresponsibly.

4. Thou shalt not lie - Unless you really have to... Life is not black and white. Exercise caution on this one. As telling a lie or witholding information can often backfire and cause you more harm than good.

THE DREAMBOARD

I learned about this late. No reason not teaching this to you while you girls are still young.

THE DREAMBOARD

Nope, its not a game, where, if you throw the dice and get the right number you're whisked away to your dream scene or instantly given the object of your dreams. Well, sort of not... ;)

JOURNALISM 101

Nope, this isn't about reporting and stuff, its actually about:

Tidbits:

PIMPLE PROBLEMS?

Hello Girls,

Let's talk about pimples.

Believe it or not, I used to have A LOT of zits, very much like Miley in this pic.  But one single thing that your Lola Moy told me gradually helped me have a clear facial complexion. Nope, its not an infomercial product, there was no Pro-Activ or Justin Bieber endorser during that time. ;)

You Lola Moy told me to minimize my hand's contact with sensitive areas of my face (where you usually get pimples). And use a gentle soap. These 2 things actually worked for me. And maybe will work with you too.

THE ZEN OF DISH-WASHING

I hope you will pardon me if I start of with this topic. ;)    I know everyone HATES doing dishes, me included, especially when I was a kid. This is about how to get the most out of the time when you absolutely cannot get away from the chore or you're finally living alone (or with someone) and its really your turn.  For you to appreciate on how easy you have it now, read the small paragraph below on how it was for me during the day, and after that comes the actual "how-to". Please read on, I promise to do my best to be entertaining. ;)

My History Doing Dishes

I never, ever, did any dishes until I was 9 years old. I was spoiled living with your Lola Anching and she always had maids or she or Lolo Pons did housework themselves. But when your Lola Vangie (my mother) died when I was 7, my father, your Lolo Nesto, got a bit crazy and did some unconventional things. Well, he really was that way girls, he wasn't a Republican then ( I forgot to ask him if he voted for "Conan" ; ) ).
