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
Woe with Rustan’s
Last Saturday we were at Shangri-La Plaza in Ortigas to again follow-up with Rustan's a service request that has been pending with them for more than a year: Here's the story: My former boss gifted me and AJ a Kenwood induction cooker as wedding gift (we were married last May 28, 2011). It was a beautiful cooker - just perfect for our apartment. We immediately ... READ MORE
In Bloom
Thanks to my dad, we know have real plants at our little patio. Seeing 'em potted greens outside our window is truly a refreshing sight. Too bad I don't know what are they called, but they're all pretty! Here are snapshots of them, which I took (using my Panasonic Lumix LX5) two weekends ago, just before the rainy season officially kicked ... READ MORE

A Typical Sunday at Rockwell
We love spending Sundays at Rockwell Powerplant Mall. It's not crowded like SM, and is very easy to navigate. The food bazaar is also something we love to check out. You will find this only on weekends, and it has become our habit to walk around it every time we are at Rockwell. Cosa Brava's Caramel Cake is perhaps the bazaar's best seller (but I would never trade ... READ MORE
Jessica Sanchez, World Idol
About last week I was secretly wishing that Joshua Ledet would go home in the Final 3 showdown of American Idol. I got my wish: Josh Ledet was booted out of American Idol - leaving Jessica Sanchez and Phillip Phillips to compete for the top crown. All of us thought that Jessica could easily win this one, as she is obviously the one with the "voice". And I thought ... READ MORE
