Going “Natural” this Christmas

11.11.2014 by Leah //

How are you with your Christmas shopping, folks?  Can't believe that we only have one month (and 4 15 days) before Christmas! I'm finally done shopping for my inaanaks last weekend, and have completed wrapping the gifts for my office colleagues.  I actually started last September pa, and every weekend I would look forward to wrapping some gifts for those in my Christmas ...

Dark Chocolate Cake with Coffee Cream Filling and Dark Chocolate Ganache

01.14.2014 by Leah //

A lovely Tuesday to y'all! Now that our ants problem is gone (as in totally; there are no more ants in our kitchen counter top, yey!), we can talk about something sweet! Today's post is written by the hubby, AJ, who is more than happy to share with you  this simple chocolate cake that we made last December and became the "Star of our Noche Buena". But before you ...

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 ...

My Holiday Feast

01.02.2014 by Leah //

Happy New Year, dear readers! I just reported back to work today (after taking a 2-week holiday vacation) and was relieved to find my In-tray to be still visible (meaning, it's not swamped with memos and other paperworks).  I had no problems getting my work groove back because I've rested well during my vacation, and I think a lot of people are still on holiday break so ...

Ebelskivers

12.28.2013 by Leah //

We had homemade Danish Ebelskivers last week, which we enjoyed very much because they tasted like pancakes but are much more solid and filling. Interestingly, in Denmark, ebelskivers (which are basically pancakes but with a sphere shape) are commonly served during Christmas with mulled wine, which is made of red wine, sugar and spices like cinnamon, ginger and bitter ...

A Festival of Lights at Policarpio Street in Mandaluyong

12.26.2013 by Leah //

Hello!  How was your Christmas?  Mine was great!  It was generally stress-free, and I finally got my wish to see the illuminated houses at Policarpio Street in Mandaluyong! One of the things I look forward to in December is being surrounded by Christmas lights.  Not just because they are visually entertaining, but because light is one of the important symbols of Christmas.  ...

Happy Christmas!

12.24.2013 by Leah //

As we celebrate this joyous occasion, let us not forget that the most important part about Christmas is the first six letters - CHRIST.   Merry Christmas from our family to yours! ... READ MORE

The Good Stuff #4

12.21.2013 by Leah //

Only four (4) more days to go and it's Christmas!  I hope you are all done with your Christmas gift shopping! As for me, I'm done with the shopping and gift wrapping!  I'm actually just relaxing here at home since last Thursday - the start of my mandatory leave from the office.  I'll be back in January na (yey!). Since then, I've been cleaning every nook of our apartment, ... READ MORE
