The 2015 Year-End Survey

01.15.2016 by Leah //

Thank you Aggie for tagging me!  I had fun (and lots of realizations) after filling out this survey.  Sobrang late ko nga lang natapos (2016 na!) but I think it's not too late to share this. ************************************* What did you do in 2015 that you’d never done before? Swim with sea turtles at Apo Island in Dumaguete! Did you keep your new year’s ... READ MORE

All-Year Round ‘Cold Spell’ with Le Miel Cafe’s Bingsu

01.15.2016 by Leah //

A longer, hotter Manila summer is forecast for this year due to the strong El Niño phenomenon, which means that we should gear up for more trips to the beach and lots of iced dessert! Do you have a favorite summer iced dessert?  Mine has always been Razon's halo-halo. That is, until I discovered Le Miel Cafe at The Hub, Greenfield District last year (see related post ...

TVolution Stick: The “Magic Wand” to a Game-Changing Digital Experience

01.11.2016 by Leah //

As a PLDT HOME user for more than 5 years now (it’s our broadband internet provider), you could say that my interest in this new innovation launched by PLDT HOME and global technology giant Microsoft is really more on the consumer’s side.  And when I learned that the new device will enable me to transform our HDMI-ready TV into a fully-functional PC – the more it piqued my ...

Thank You, 2015! Hello 2016!

12.31.2015 by Leah //

Another year is about to pass, a year that has been so big to me (due to a major career shift) and which has brought me to new heights.  As you have probably noticed, I blogged less this year as I dealt with my now bigger role in our workplace. I have to learn about "acceptance" in a big way; accept that I cannot solve every problem thrown my way.  Even if I know how to ... READ MORE

Holiday Highlights {2015}

12.30.2015 by Leah //

For the first time in many years, I started my Christmas preparations late.  As in really late.  If not for our week-long break due to the APEC summit held in Manila last November, I wouldn't be able to start wrapping gifts. Swamped with work and project deadlines, I skipped decorating our apartment for Christmas.  I thought I'll have to forego Christmas shopping as ... READ MORE

Gingerbread Houses

12.26.2015 by Leah //

A (Belated) Merry Christmas to y'all! I hope everyone had a great Christmas celebration! The hubby and I spent Christmas Day at Hyatt City of Dreams, reliving our spectacular Christmas Eve stay there last year.  A lot of restaurants have opened since our last stay there (during my birthday early this year); giving us more food choices to explore and discover. As I am ... READ MORE

Best Selling Korean Products are now in Manila through NWorld!

12.19.2015 by Leah //

Celebrities and beauty junkies swear by the instant effects of Korean beauty products.  I have been doing my research on them for a while now so when I heard that there’s finally a Philippine-based distributor for them, I grabbed the opportunity and bought a package immediately. However, I think I got more than what I bargained for.  I was just supposed to buy the products ... READ MORE

Hotel Florentina + Gabby’s Bistro

12.12.2015 by Leah //

We discovered the picturesque Hotel Florentina at Rovira Drive in Dumaguete by accident.  AJ and I were looking for Gabby’s Bed and Breakfast and Google Map led us here.  We thought we were in the wrong place but Google was partially correct after all; there's a Gabby's Bistro adjacent to Hotel Florentina and this was the original Gabby's franchise. Gabby's Bed and ... READ MORE
