No storm could stop Pope Francis from visiting Tacloban today, which is the main purpose of his 5-day visit to the Philippines. Like most Catholics here in Manila, I was glued to the TV to catch his message to the people of Tacloban, the most devastated part of the country in the aftermath typhoon Yolanda in November 2013. I anticipated his message to be very moving, but I ... READ MORE
Stackable Perky Rings
I have long loved the idea of building up my finger bling and then interchange them to make it appear that I'm wearing a different kind of ring every day. I shared this 'idea' to my partner jeweler and showed her my pegs (including Tiffany's Celebration Rings) and together, we came up with these solid 14k white gold rings with colorful gemstones as a way to celebrate the ...

I'm still hung up for the holidays, and who isn't? The chilly January weather makes me crave for coffee and sweet dessert (aside from sleep) any time of the day!

Post-Christmas Sale at Pottery Barn
It's officially the last day of my 2-weeks holiday vacation, and the start of the post-holiday (or end-of-season) sale in most stores here in Manila. Ba't ba kung kelan ubos na ang year-end bonus eh doon nagse-sale??

His words captured everything I aspire to be in 2015. He said: "Approach the New Year with... 2015 will be about embracing greater responsibilities and new challenges at my work, but ... READ MORE
DIY Gift Tags from Shopping Bags
In case you didn't know, I have a penchant for keeping ribbons, shopping bags, paper bags and pretty gift wrapping papers so you can just imagine the stash I collected last Christmas. I hate putting into waste reusable papers so I try to 'save' all that I can whenever I open gifts. (You can read about my past projects on re-used shopping and paper bags HERE and ... READ MORE
Christmas at Hyatt City of Dreams Manila
The hubby and I spent Christmas Eve at the newly-opened Hyatt City of Dreams Manila. It's our first time to celebrate it away from home, but were at the same time excited and giddy over the new place that we are about to explore! We adjusted our Christmas schedules for the 24th and the 25th to be able to make the most out of our stay at the new Hyatt. After all, hindi mura ... READ MORE
