I’m gonna sleep on it…

Posted on July 8th, 2011 by MindanaoBob

It’s something that you don’t buy that many times in your life. It can be a relatively major purchase, albeit not like a house or a car. I’m talking about a mattress. Feyma and I have a King Sized bed in the master bedroom. We’ve had it for quite some time. As I recall, I [...]

Homeless couples

Posted on June 16th, 2011 by Feyma

A few months ago I was having a meeting set at one of the condo units here near SM. Before the person that I had meeting with arrived, while my nephew was looking for a space to parked our vehicle, I was standing outside the building on the near walkway. I was standing at the [...]
