March 21 & 22, 2020 Weekend is here! I had all the intentions to wake up early, get ready and try to beat the crowd at the grocery aisle. On second thought, the bed feels comfy and the kitties are cuddling. Oh well, maybe next week. We still have enough provisions to last another week.…Continue reading Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 6 & 7

Life In the Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 5
March 20, 2020 Last night one of my friends who’s on lockdown with her family somewhere in Southeast Asia had a mommy meltdown. Suddenly, without the usual household help – labor is cheap and readily available in certain parts of the world – she finds herself balancing work, life, homeschooling two young kids – while…Continue reading Life In the Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 5
Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 3 &4
March 18 & 19, 2020 The reality of being confined at home and interacting with colleagues and business partners is starting to sink in. Now instead of face-to-face conversations and meetings, I have to contend with video calls, multiple phone calls, text messages in multiple paltforms. I had a vague notion of perhaps having more…Continue reading Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 3 &4
Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 2
March 17, 2020 First official day of being sheltered-in-place. Ironically, today is supposed to be the day we do a company-wide work-from-home test but we got overran by events. Tired as I was last night, I had to wake up and act as if I am going to the office. I’m a seasoned remote worker…Continue reading Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19: Day 2
Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19
Sorry, folks. Admittedly, after going on a short sabbatical traveling around South America, I thought I’d have plenty of time to write about the places I’ve visited and share the many pleasant experiences and surprises I’ve encountered along the way. A serendipitous thing happened while I was on the road. I got in contact with…Continue reading Life In The Time of Corona aka CoVid19
When Life Begins
I find myself asking this question from time to time. Does it really begin at 40? 50? Or earlier at 30? When does it truly begin? Life always waits for some crisis to occur before revealing itself at its most brilliant. Paul Coelho (Eleven Minutes) Probably this question is very personal. Some of us will…Continue reading When Life Begins
What Matters Most?
Being a Gen Xer is not easy. It’s like being in a cusp, stuck between the Baby Boomers associated with privilege and consumerism and the materialist but liberal Millennials. I supposedly belong to a ‘Forgotten Generation’. Go figure. These labels are non-sensical. Probably coined by some marketing consultant trying to pigeon-hole a segment of the…Continue reading What Matters Most?
Hola! Bonjour! Welcome!
Fits and starts. Start and stop. My blogging attempts, that is. I had started one at Google+ a few years back. I even signed up for an online tutorial with links to bloggers for future input to no avail. Bandwidth aka time and a full time job were my enemies. Now I’m trying again. What…Continue reading Hola!
