Two of my godchildren celebrated their 7th birthdays last weekend - Rianne Maxine and Toby, who had a joint birthday celebration with his older brother Taddy. AJ and I attended both birthday parties last weekend, where we enjoyed being kids again! Maxine had her Barbie-themed party at Jollibee in Ortigas Avenue last Saturday. I think this branch has the biggest party venue ... READ MORE
Feng Shui Jewelry
We were at Greenhills last weekend to do some errands, which includes bringing some feng shui bracelets for re-stringing. There's only 1 stall there that I go to for my feng shui bracelets - Bensani Jewelry - which you will find at the pearls section, very near the entrance to the Greenhills chapel. They sell the best-looking charm bracelets in the area, and in ... READ MORE
Hot Pot Sate Broth
We had some guests two (2) weeks ago, my Ninang (godmother) and cousin Ineng. Since my mom has left-over frozen gyozas (Japanese dumplings), I decided to make a Hot Pot Sate Broth. This is a shabu-shabu dish wherein you prepare the broth, set it in a really warm pot (much better if you have a camping burner so it'll simmer continuously) and the guests will add the uncooked ...

Bag Look Alikes
There's no way in the world that I can afford this Celine Leopard Luggage Tote Bag (priced between P120,000 to P150,000 - and that's just eBay prices, ladies), which is fast becoming the most coveted bag in the world, next to Hermes' Birkin: But I can very well afford this P400 cute bag made of umbrella fabric, with Celine's iconic bag as the structure and print: Cute, ...

Duchess Catherine’s Necklace
I love the blue Stella McCartney dress but what do you think of the Cartier Trinity Necklace? The long necklace reportedly cost £49,000 and the highlights of this luxury jewelry are the 5 entwined circles of pink, yellow and white gold dotted with diamonds. It was said to symbolize the Olympic rings. I think the necklace is pretty but not too flattering with her ... READ MORE
Tender Bob’s
Whenever we're craving for grilled porkchops, we almost always find ourselves at Tender Bob's: They serve mainly protein-packed dishes like burgers and steaks, all at very reasonable prices. Our favorite, of course, is their grilled porkchops (around P400, can't remember the exact price) which comes in 2 big pieces with side dishes: AJ and I can each finish ... READ MORE
The Multi-Tasking Lemon
Can you guess what these are? Lemon peels! I'm having them dried under the sun when I took this picture last weekend. I learned from Real Living's pocket magazine, Handy Hints and Instant Makeovers, that placing dried lemon peels in kitchen corners will keep insects away. They also ward off silverfish (those little silver creatures you find your closets) and are a ... READ MORE
Ted’s Old Time La Paz Batchoy
I haven't been to SM Food Court for a really long time. I can't remember anymore when was the last time I was there. But two Saturdays ago when AJ and I were doing errands at SM Makati I asked him if he'd like to have lunch there. Am glad he said yes. Look what we found: It's Ted's old time la paz batchoy! Let me describe what batchoy is by quoting this from ... READ MORE
