My favorite way of 'decking the hall': filling up our console table with Christmas ornaments. I chose to "grow" my Christmas ornaments collection by adding new pieces each year, instead of buying everything new to match a chosen theme or color palette. Red, green and gold have always been our Christmas colors. A bit traditional, yes, but nothing look so festive than ... 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

Our breakfast this morning - Chocolate Pecan Muffins from S&R: They're big, have the perfect sweet flavor (that means not too sweet, in my palate), perfectly soft and moist texture (not dry unlike other cheap muffins), and are generously topped with bite-sized pecan nuts! You can buy them in packs of 4 at only P189.95 (or about P48.00 per muffin). You can ... READ MORE
My Loot from the S&R Sale
Almost everyone I knew shopped here last weekend: This sale is one of the biggest that S&R offers exclusively to its members. My parents and I checked out the sale last Saturday and the lines inside were insane! We lined up to the cashier for almost 4 hours or rather, my dad did, while my mom and I did our shopping. No complaints though, because the S&R ... READ MORE

The Hollywood Cookie Diet
Saw this at S&R the other day (sorry for the camera flash, I used my cellphone cam only: According to Diets in Review: The Hollywood Cookie Diet is easy. Simply eat four cookies a day, which replaces your breakfast and lunch, then eat a healthy dinner. So, eat a cookie for breakfast, a mid-morning snack, lunch and mid-afternoon snack. Each cookie is individually ... READ MORE
