Happy Halloween + Prayer for the Faithful Departed

10.31.2011 by Leah //

Happy Halloween! It's also my mom's birthday (Happy Birthday, mami!) but we're going to celebrate it next week instead because she is in Cebu right now. Back when we were young, the thing that we look forward to during Halloweens would be Noli de Castro's "Magandang Gabi, Bayan" Halloween specials.   Me and my brother, as well as our cousins who would sometimes sleep over at ...

My Current Comfort Drink

09.18.2011 by Leah //

I am currently addicted to Anastacio's Choco Filipino, a local version of Swiss Miss' hot chocolate but this one's made from our local cocoa: Just perfect for the "ber" months where cold mornings + hot chocolate + holiday Hello Kitty mug = holiday mood!   ... READ MORE

Sad and worried…

07.23.2011 by Leah //

Should I worry about not having received any wedding pictures from my other photographers?   Although Nat has already promised to send the raw pictures by post, I haven't received any from Von Lazaro yet, our back-up photographer.  I am expecting more from him since he was the only one paid for his services.   The rest took our photos pro bono, as a ...

Another one of those powerhouse couple splits.  But this one was unexpected.You can read the full article here at International Business Times.The split was announced yesterday, and I was kinda surprised to learn about it because they look to me like a perfect couple - they share the same passion for music and entertainment.   Their chemistry onstage was ...

Living with little, creepy insects

06.29.2011 by Leah //

I fear cockroaches.   I shriek and run everytime I see one. So last night, alone at home (AJ works on a night shift), just as I was about to prepare myself to bed, I saw this big cockroach walking along our kitchen cabinet.   I shrieked of course, and realizing that I'm alone and have no one turn to, ...

From Japan Home

06.27.2011 by Leah //

We buy most of our plastic organizers and containers from Japan Home because of their durability, functionality and price (all items are priced at P88, unless otherwise indicated).We recently bought this multi-purpose storage box to store our bread and other snacks in:I looked closely at the front label and it says:  "Rangement Cabinet shelf":A case of ...

Working from Home

06.24.2011 by Leah //

Because of the heavy rains last night, the roads going to my office in Pasay were still flooded as of early morning today.   As a result, I was not able to report. But since I have two major reports to submit today, I was forced to work at home.  I have just submitted the 2nd report through email and I came to the realization that working at home is more ...
