I am really loving lomography pictures and I'm so glad I can turn my ordinary photos into lomo-ish ones, thanks to Google's Picasa. I love the combination of strong hues, fish eye and blurry effects - they turn fresh pictures into vintage-y old ones. Here are some that I took and then turned into classic lomo pictures: All pictures were taken from our apartment, except the ... READ MORE
Stanhome Try It
What a funny name for an all-purpose cleaner! Don't be deceived though, by its uncreative name, because this super concentrated cleaner from Stanhome World is really effective. Just see how I was able to turn this dirty monobloc chair ... ... into a clean one in minutes, without the use of soap and water! I have actually just cleaned the top portion when ... READ MORE
Korean Chicken Wings
You will love the sweet and slightly spicy flavors of this barbeque dish that we baked using the Saladmaster Electric Skillet. To lock in the flavors of the marinade, it's best to have it marinated overnight. For the marinade sauce, you will need: 1 one-inch piece fresh ginger, minced or grated 1 bulb garlic, minced 1 small onion, minced 2-3 tablespoons of chili ... READ MORE
Finally! We got into Uniqlo!
We have been looking forward to the opening of Uniqlo, the no.1 t-shirt retailer in Japan, at Mall of Asia last week after seeing the t-shirts on display a month before its actual opening. I even joined (but didn't win) in their "Vote and Win" contest at Facebook hehe. AJ and I even made plans of going to Uniqlo's opening day last June 15, which we weren't able to do so ... READ MORE

While I have just written about how ours went down this month, it seems that it's the case with most N@Wies (that's how we call ourselves as members in the group). The question now is: how can we save electricity, without sacrificing usage of the appliances we ... READ MORE

Chap Chae
I consider Chap Chae as the first "risky" dish that I prepared since I started cooking last year. Risky because (a) Asian noodle dishes, for me, are generally difficult to prepare with its many (and oftentimes, hard to find) ingredients, and (b) the method / steps are meticulous and I'm afraid that missing a simple step will ruin the dish altogether. But when I saw this ... READ MORE
Book Trees
Do you love books? How do you organize them at home? AJ and I each have a vast collection of books that we brought into our apartment. Here are just some of mine (sorry for the bad photo, I took this using my fone): Since we have a modest-sized apartment for me, we decided to store most of the books for now, but left some for display. We wanted our start-up home ... READ MORE
