How I Shopped for My Insurance Plans

03.09.2014 by Leah //

Note:  This is the continuation of my post about life insurance (read the first installment HERE), as part of my personal advocacy to promote awareness in investing for your future.   ******************************** Just a week ago, I was sorting out the bills and receipts for the different insurance plans AJ and I have, and I realized that the aggregate amount of insurance ...

Brighten up your day with Cath Kidston

02.28.2014 by Leah //

Brighten Up print from Cath Kidston's spring collection for 2014.  It celebrates the iconic British seaside town of Brighton, which I know mainly because I've read about its famous chain pier - the Brighton Palace Pier and Theater - from a travel guidebook on UK before.  One of the earliest amusement centers constructed in the UK (it opened in 1823), it's been said that it ...

Taking a short break…

02.25.2014 by Leah //

Hello, friends! I am supposed to write tonight the continuation of our sumptuous luncheon at Ogetsu Hime some weeks ago (read the first part of my food post here) but I am very much distracted with the work I took home (didn't realize it was plenty!) so the second part will come out later this week instead.  I am already halfway done with the office reports in my to-do list ...

Life Insurance is a Liquid Investment

02.15.2014 by Leah //

I bought my first life insurance policy when I was 22.  I have to credit my parents for instilling in me (and my brother) at an early age the importance of saving money for the future, and  investing in life insurance.   When I received my first paycheck from my second (and more stable) job, I asked my mom to set me an appointment with our insurance agent from Insular Life (who ...

A bad experience with JRS Express

02.09.2014 by Leah //

I'm not supposed to write anything today but I couldn't help sharing with you the disappointments I had with JRS Express.  Just this week, I had the misfortune of dealing with them for the 2 packages containing the items I ordered online. The first package contains the 2 Lacoste shirts I ordered from an Instagram seller.  I've paid for these 2 weeks ago and up to now there's ... READ MORE

2014 is the Year of the Wood Horse and of Living Smartly

02.01.2014 by Leah //

Kiong hee huat tsai! So how did you spend the Chinese New Year?  We are not Chinese but we celebrated the occasion with pancit for dinner.   There's supposed to be pizza as well from S&R but the line was long and we couldn't wait 45 minutes for that.  Anyway, the home-cooked pancit and hot pandesal were more than enough for us here (that includes me, AJ, my parents and ...

A Halloween Gift in January

01.23.2014 by Leah //

I don't know if there's such a thing as Halloween gift but sweet AJ gave me a very belated one last weekend: This is from the Halloween Hello Kitty x Funko Mystery Mini series, which was released by Funko sometime in August last year. Sixteen (16) Hello Kitty vinyl figures dressed in colorful Halloween costumes make up this collection.  Funko also chose to dress ... READ MORE

More Happy Times @ Christmas 2013

01.10.2014 by Leah //

I've just finished doing back-up of my photos from last year's Christmas, and thought of rounding up some photos to summarize everything else that kept me busy during the holidays.  It's not just the holiday feast (which I wrote about here) that made it merry, but the precious time I spent with my  family, good friends and lovable inaanaks!   Here are some more snippets ...
