My 2021 in a Nutshell

12.31.2021 by Leah //

As we bid farewell to 2021, let us not forget to thank everyone around us especially those who helped us survive this difficult year - unscathed. And if you marked yourself as “Safe” from C19, other health scare and from typhoon ‘Odette’  - then that’s a whole lot to be grateful for. The year 2021 was definitely a challenging one for me.  I started the year in quarantine, ... READ MORE

Hello Kitty Run Manila 2017

11.13.2017 by Leah //

My friends were not surprised to learn that I registered for Hello Kitty Run Manila 2017.  I am a big fan of Hello Kitty so this event is something I would not pass up, even though I don't like running. This is also the first time I am joining a fun run event, so the idea of running with Hello Kitty excited me no end. Registration was done online so it was hassle-free.  I ... READ MORE

Nestle All-Purpose Cream Elevates Classic Recipes with #CreateWithCream

07.21.2016 by Leah //

I have not been writing lately about food I’ve created in our kitchen, but that doesn’t mean I have stopped cooking altogether.  It’s just that I’ve limited my cooking to those I know by heart already (most of them have been featured in the blog) so I wouldn’t have to write down the ingredients or cooking steps again. One recipe that never disappoints regardless of the many ... READ MORE

Sweet April showers. Do spring May flowers. - Thomas Tusser, 1557 I will forever remember May 2016 as the month where I celebrated a lot of milestones - at work mostly, but it's also my wedding anniversary month so I'm really overflowing with love and gratefulness! Let me share with you some of last month's highlights: A tour of the National Museum of the ... READ MORE
