How I wish my weekends will always look like this: Waking up at the sight of a calm and peaceful ocean. Enjoying a morning dip at the pool. Swimming with whale sharks until lunch. Enjoying a laid back afternoon at a mansion that you can rent per day. Non-stop snacking on local biscuits. Spending quality time with my family (especially ... READ MORE
More Happy Times @ Christmas 2013
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 ...

A Birthday Celebration at The Ranch Resort and Farm
My sister-in-law Juvvy, of the Mommy Juvs blog, finally wrote about my nephew's 3rd birthday celebration last year (read her kwento here). This reminded me that I have some photos from that trip as well which I haven't shared with you yet. Here goes my very belated post about my trip to Cebu in October last year: Because Liam loves swimming pools and animals, his parents ... READ MORE
Bonding with the Fam Bam in Cebu
I just spent 3 wonderful days in Cebu for some R&R, bonding time with my parents and brother's family (and it was his birthday last Thursday), and to attend Liam's school program (my first)! The last time I saw Liam was in April. Although I keep tab of all his developments (thanks to Facebook and emails), I miss bonding (i.e. playing) with him already so when my mom ... READ MORE
My 2 weeks with Liam
My brother relayed this very happy news about Liam today: he was awarded an Academic Award during his Moving Up Day! Congrats, dear Liam! Which reminds me, I wasn't able to tell you much about their 2-weeks visit here (they spent the Holy Week with us). I was amazed at how fast Liam has grown. At his age (2 years old), he can put words together very well. He also ... READ MORE
Menggay’s Kasoy (Cashew Nuts)
My family and I were at Antipolo City earlier for our annual Station of the Cross reading. It has been a tradition of ours to visit the National Shrine of Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage / Immaculate Concepcion Parish at Antipolo every Maundry Thursday, even if it means traveling 1.5 to 2-hours from our home in Makati. After the reading and offering of prayers to Our ... READ MORE
The Good Stuff
Just sharing with you some of my recent discoveries these past weeks... Baker's Twines from Paper Chic Studio. I have been stalking Paper Chic Studio's facebook page for a time, hoping to buy some of their baker's twines and colorful loot bags but I could not make the order form work. Then at the eve of the Chinese New Year, while waiting for the clock to strike 12, I ... READ MORE
A Sumptuous Birthday!
I celebrated my _ _th birthday last week in a very quiet but food-filled way. It fell on a weekday and I took the day off from work so I can relax, hear mass and spend a quiet dinner with my family (which turned out to be not-so-quiet!). I chose the newly-opened Watami at Glorietta 5 for my birthday dinner because it's new and for a fully serviced Japanese restaurant, ... READ MORE
