There is NOTHING worse than coming home from a great night out and finding scuffs on your brand new patent leather shoes. And why is it that we can NEVER remember how it happened? Did I step on myself? Did I trip? Did I scrape my shoe against a tire? All we are left with is what we … Continue reading »

They never seem to work as advertised! Last week, I joined a meeting 10 minutes late. As I sat down, a … Continue reading »
I am completely embarrassed to admit that I had not heard of former Philippine First Lady Imelda Marcos until recently. This controversial figure is currently making headlines as the second richest Philippine politician. Many claim these riches were accumulated illegally during her husband’s reign.
