Shopping Bags and Wrapping Ideas

12.02.2012 by Leah //

One day I was cleaning our storage cabinets and found a number of shopping bags that have been stored away, forgotten. Then an idea hit me.  Why not recycle them as "wrapping bags" for my Christmas presents this year?   I've read of others who have done it before and this post from 101 Grams of (Eye) Candy totally nailed that idea. Her "reduce, reuse, recycle" ... READ MORE

It’s that time of the year again!

12.01.2012 by Leah //

December is here and it's finally beginning to feel like Christmas!   My Instagram is now teeming with photos of our preparations and anything Christmas-y, and here are some of them: The happiest season of the year is indeed here   =) ... READ MORE

My Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Tea Party

11.30.2012 by Leah //

I had always wanted to host a tea party at home, and was all the more inspired after AJ treated me to an afternoon tea at Manila Peninsula last August.   But I was so busy at work and was doing all those traveling I just couldn't put my mind and time into it. But I found my perfect opportunity when my friend (and kumare) Denise sent me a message one day asking when are we ... READ MORE

Som’s Noodle Haus (Authentic Thai Food)

11.26.2012 by Leah //

We always pass by this restaurant with a weird name on our way home from Rockwell.  But it was located inside a gated residential area in a street called Alger Street, and for a long time we never figured out how to get there. And we finally did one Saturday night when we were near Rockwell and saw that it only takes a right turn from the main road to get to Alger ... READ MORE

Shopping Loot from Homeworld’s Warehouse Sale

11.25.2012 by Leah //

This is not the first time that we've been to Homeworld's Bodega Sale.  The first time was last year and we found so many bargain items there for our apartment. So when I saw this announcement posted at my Facebook page we got so excited at what we're gonna find this time. Compared to the sale last year, there were fewer items included in this year's sale and most of the ... READ MORE

ARQ Curtains Annual Bodega Sale

11.19.2012 by Leah //

I've put a really big dent in my wallet after attending 2 warehouse sale events last Saturday.   One was the Home World Warehouse Sale at SM Megamall and the other was the Bodega Sale of ARQ Curtains at Plainview, Mandaluyong City.  AJ and I braved the traffic to get to these 2 places and it was so worth it.  We were able to score some really nice items for our home at super ...

Dealing with Bag Molds

11.17.2012 by Leah //

Some weeks back I discovered, to my dismay, that my favorite Balenciaga bag has developed molds after being stored away for quite some time.  I don't know why or how it got molds because I keep all my bags in fabric pouches and there are humidifiers scattered around my bag cabinet. It's a good thing I smelled it immediately and was relieved to see that the molds were just ... READ MORE

Sunburst Fried Chicken

11.16.2012 by Leah //

Sunburst Fried Chicken is Cebu's version of Max's Fried Chicken. Their fried chicken is known for being crispy on the outside and juicy inside. And that's just about it.  I have read food reviews saying that there's nothing exceptional about Sunburst fried chicken, except the crispy skin, and I can agree to that.   Their version of fried chicken is not at all ...
