Adopting a pet is a big decision that requires careful consideration. While some people may be inclined to go to a breeder or a pet store to find their new furry friend, others may choose to adopt from a local animal shelter or rescue organization. Adopting a stray cat, in particular, can be an incredibly rewarding experience for both the cat and the adopter. Here are some ... READ MORE
Davao South Sea Pearls
You all know that I collect south sea pearls but set in earrings and rings. Many times I've been tempted to buy a necklace but I am not a necklace person, and will probably wear it on special occasions only so I thought it might not be a good investment. But this year saw me attending formal events for work, and there are weddings to attend as well. Also, we have ... READ MORE
A Short Visit to South Korea
Today is the last day of 2022 and what better way to end it than document my travel highlight for this year: my short visit to South Korea last November. My employer was invited to attend an inauguration event and I was fortunate to have been part of our very lean delegation, which included our President and General Manager (equivalent to company CEO). The event was to take ... READ MORE
It’s good to be back in Cebu!
There's a different kind of excitement when I rode the airplane again last August, for a weekend trip to Cebu to visit my brother and his family. I'm glad that Philippine Airlines (PAL) offered a "neighbor-free" seat for less than Php500 (per one-way trip); giving me an added peace of mind for my first plane ride after the pandemic.

It was so tempting to ... READ MORE
My 2021 in a Nutshell
As we bid farewell to 2021, let us not forget to thank everyone around us especially those who helped us survive this difficult year - unscathed. And if you marked yourself as “Safe” from C19, other health scare and from typhoon ‘Odette’ - then that’s a whole lot to be grateful for. The year 2021 was definitely a challenging one for me. I started the year in quarantine, ... READ MORE
The Plantdemic and How I found Joy in Gardening
Let's talk about plants! Like you, I was not immune to the 'plant craze' or 'plantdemic' that made people discover the joy of gardening during the pandemic. In just a year, I have not only bought new plants but also new pots, plant stands, loam soil and even gardening tools! I have learned how to re-pot plants, trim them and even propagate some. Unlike others though, I ... READ MORE
Our Lady of Fatima Faith Pendant
This post has been sitting in my draft folder for a year now. If you have been reading my blog for some time, you would know that I am a fan of enamel faith pendants. I don't actively collect them but whenever a good piece comes along at a a good price and it just connects to me instantly - then I might just get it. I have no plans of buying another pendant but the ... READ MORE
