Happy Mother’s Day to my mother!   Being a mother is a tough job so don’t be too hard on yourself.

Dear Beyoncé,

While many will not be happy and/or see this point of view, these two bloggers (C and I) see eye to eye on this matter and I do believe that there are many women and mothers who see and understand our perspective. My comment (most of it): I am with you on this 110%. There… Continue reading Dear Beyoncé,

Why I don’t watch some movies

October 7, 2016January 23, 2017 Anne J.14 Comments

I can’t sleep. I thought I was just catching up with my reading, having had a busy day, but when I was ready to get my much needed rest, the picture in my head wouldn’t go away. I now have to stay awake because I am actually horrified. I’m even scared and I don’t know…… Continue reading Why I don’t watch some movies

May 10, 2016May 10, 2016 Anne J.Leave a comment

(I started writing this yesterday but it is getting published only today. My toddler would not go to bed without her mommy and I couldn’t rush to finish and post as I didn’t know how to end it…) I was going to sleep early tonight. I had only two hours of sleep last night, this…… Continue reading Motherhood and an election

A bit about me

Anne J.

Anne J.

I'm a Philippine island girl in Africa, a Filipino-South African. A mad banana woman that I am, I live "la vida loca". The banana part isn’t only because I'm Anna (Banana) but because an old boyfriend had observed that although Asian (yellow on the outside) I'm very much Caucasian in my way of thinking (white in the inside) and my actions, too. It's a rather accurate observation. I am that liberal-thinking and modern-acting Filipino... I remain my tragic-comedic self with a day job in slightly more serious field of Finance, Business Operations and Corporate Affairs.

EXPLORE YOURSELF!

Life is full of experiences. We either get blessings or lessons. Follow your dreams passionately. Stay happy and cheerful. Be an inspiration to everyone you meet.
