Hello Kitty Run Manila 2017

11.13.2017 by Leah // Leave a Comment

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 // 2 Comments

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

#throwback to Easter 2019 when @ajdeleon77 and I t #throwback to Easter 2019 when @ajdeleon77 and I took mommy and daddy to a double date at Rockwell Powerplant. Today is daddy's 11th month in heaven 💜 The coming weeks are sure going be tough for me because the painful memories from last year will start coming back as we approach his 1st death anniversary. I miss our family bonding time whether in Cebu or Makati, at the mall or simply at home. The over-extended quarantine has made it very difficult for us create new memories as a family (outside videocalls, that is). But I know that with God's grace we will overcome. 🙏
