You may have decided to move after all, however, the hardest part of it is just about to start:  the moving process itself—that is the packing and transferring of your belongings from the “old” place down to the “new” one then unpacking to settle down. Truth be told, it really isn’t fun. No fun at all unless you’re a chronic mover such that you know in a blink of an [...]

Why is it that the very food we love is the exact same thing that can kill us? There you go, sweets, greasy, salty—they are the very ones our doctors advise us against! If you’re like me, which I think is half of the senior population, whose mouth waters everytime the dessert cart passes by or perhaps get a little teary eyed when meeting a bag of chips like it [...]

It’s irrefutable; seniors need exercise in order to keep everything inside their body in good, working order—well that’s besides looking good on the outside too. However, as an owner of a good, “vintage” piece of machinery known as the body of mine, I do know that not every exercise equipment in the market today is safe for me to use, or else there will be an onslaught of aging bodies [...]

We all have our own parameters in life. Every man has his own idea of what’s enough and what’s lacking such that most of the time, especially if a couple is not running on same wavelength, a person may find their partners as “too much” or “too little” while the other half may find the opposite of that in the said person. Seniors are not privy to that. No matter [...]

In this day and age, I must admit, finding the perfect match is oh-so easy. With the advent of technology, particularly social networking, you can find and interact with friends as often as you like. You can indeed connect with your family and friends even if you are too busy to actually sit down and browse the computer since most social networking sites have gone  mobile too—that is, they can [...]

Don’t get me wrong, this old lady loves computing life to death! My computer’s the first thing I greet in the morning and it happens to be the only thing that sends me off to bed every night! I won’t even know where I’ll be without my computer or at the very least, a gadget to connect me to the rest of the world a.k.a the internet. When I’m home [...]

There’s a new term in the career planning block that jobless seniors or soon-to-retire-but-must-look-for-a-job seniors need to learn; the word for today is “transferable skills”. You might be wondering why you need to know about it since your resume must be looking spanking good after a hundred revisions. Well, your transferable skills may be the one your potential employer is looking for and you just missed it out on your [...]

Oftentimes, decisions about caring for a loved-one come in haste such that you may find yourself being the family-appointed caregiver without them ever consulting you and just because you are either the most convenient amongst family members or you allow people to push you over. Not that you are against the decision since this is a loved-one needing help however, caregiving, as you should know, is much more than that. [...]

I can still remember the day when I found myself cringing to every turn and sharp exits my mom made, she was 70+ years old then. That was also the day I firmly put my foot down and made her surrender the keys. Fortunately for me, she was more than ready to do so and was just too proud to ask to be driven around. I was ready for a [...]

To kick-start the New Year, we are off to discussing one of my favorite subjects:  online store. Online stores are really simple in principle and it works both ways for sellers and consumers however, it can get really confusing setting up one since there are about thousands of “e-commerce gurus” out there claiming to have the “secret formula” to your online store success. We, seniors, should not be fooled by [...]
