The Good Stuff

02.27.2013 by Leah // 3 Comments

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 ...

A Sumptuous Birthday!

02.11.2013 by Leah // 6 Comments

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, ...

Liam’s Stressful Haircut

01.13.2013 by Leah // 5 Comments

Who would've thought that a toddler's haircut can be so stressful? Liam, my adorable 2-year old nephew, was brought to Cuts 4 Tots Hair Salon in Glorietta last December for a much needed haircut.    My brother and sis-in-law tried to get him a haircut in Cebu many times already but all are in vain.  Liam just won't have it. AJ and I tagged along with Liam's lolo and lola ... READ MORE

Celebrating Christmas 2012 & New Year 2013

01.07.2013 by Leah // Leave a Comment

We celebrated Christmas and welcomed New Year at our home.  Compared with last year,  this year's celebration was more upbeat - with AJ and I entertaining friends over at our apartment and then there's my little nephew, Liam, who also spent the holidays here in the Metro (much to the delight of my parents!). To prepare for Liam's coming, my dad re-decorated my old room and ... READ MORE

Dalmatian Dog Bone Invitations for Liam’s 2nd Birthday

09.29.2012 by Leah // 1 Comment

When my nephew Liam turned 1 in October last year, his parents threw a cowboy-theme party for him and his guests and I made the simple, Western-style invitations for them. This year Liam will turn 2 and he will celebrate it in school with the Dalmatian dogs as theme.   You see, Liam loves animals, and is most fond with "Aw-Aw" - a dalmatian dog stuff toy given to him by his ...

Farewell, Inay

08.22.2012 by Leah // Leave a Comment

It was a weekend of mourning for us as we learned of the death of my maternal lola (grandmother) whom we fondly call Inay (mother) last Sunday morning.   She was 90 years old.  We immediately traveled to Batangas (my mom's hometown) to arrange the wake and the funeral which was held yesterday. I have many fond memories of Inay back when I was a kid.  I used to spend summers at ... READ MORE

Liam in Mommy Fleur’s Blog!

08.08.2012 by Leah // 2 Comments

A little sunshine to brighten up my very wet and scary day: My nephew, Liam, was featured in Mommy Fleur's blog!   It turned out that Juvvy, Liam's mom (and my sis-in-law), is a fan of this blog and submitted Liam's picture to be featured there.  Actually, I've been meaning to do that too but I'm glad that Juvvy beat me to it hehe! Endearing Liam -- Mommy Fleur ... READ MORE

I'm glad I invested in this Freshair 3 air and sur I'm glad I invested in this Freshair 3 air and surface purifier last year. It's the only air purifier in the market with proven technology to kill 99.96% of Airborne and 99.98% of Surface SARS-CoV-2 👍 I had it placed in the office so I don't need to bring anymore my portable UV sterilizer and portable plasma ion purifier. With Manila on extended GCQ and the vaccine roll-out still being finalized, we cannot afford to be complacent. Mas lalo pa dapat mag-ingat with various new strains coming out, too 😬 Safety should be our top priority 👍 @freshairpurifiers
Found these Muji-inspired (or should I say, rip-of Found these Muji-inspired (or should I say, rip-off) stackable organizers at Shopee 😁 I think they're 3x cheaper than Muji's and they look durable! Proudly Made in the Philippines pa 😜 #shopeeph #shopeefinds

Hi Daddy! Lapit na ang birthday mo, and you will c Hi Daddy! Lapit na ang birthday mo, and you will celebrate it in heaven na ☁️☁️☁️ Pero kasama mo pa rin kami magce-celebrate. Same as last year, we will celebrate it at home dahil may #covid_19 pa rin. You will remember that last year, yours is the first birthday we celebrated in quarantine. I just came from Baguio (for work) and  someone from our group tested positive. Hindi na tayo nakapagpa-picture dahil puro nasa #covid_19 ang attention natin. We miss you, daddy! I hope you like your flowers today, mas marami na green leaves kaysa flowers. Just the way you like it. 💚💚 #theoriginalplantito

It taste of home, with warmth and love in every bite! 💕 It's great for breakfast or even as dessert. Best eaten warm with  vanilla cream generously poured on top! 😋
