A Sweet Life at Hyatt City of Dreams Manila

02.08.2015 by Leah //

Who would have thought that the universe will conspire with AJ in giving me a grand and surprise birthday gift yesterday: a sumptuous buffet dinner + overnight stay at the Hyatt City of Dreams! You all know how much we enjoyed our stay there last Christmas (read all about that HERE), and while I know of the hubby's plan to celebrate my birthday there with a special dinner, I ... READ MORE

Sparkling Rubies for Valentine’s Day

02.14.2014 by Leah //

Happy Valentine's Day! And because today is about celebrating love and romance, I am going to feature a very romantic jewelry set that is for sale.  Yes, it's from my alahera based in Bulacan where I got my yellow tanzanite earrings that sparkles like diamonds, and some of my south sea pearls before I discovered Palawan's. The romantic jewelry I'm talking about is set in ... READ MORE

My ‘Anti-Valentine’ Gift

Happy Hearts' Day, everyone!

Isn't that sweet?   =)   ... READ MORE

This video is so cute - perfect for Valentine's Day! http://youtu.be/xvDOiFv6dac The video was shot at different SM Supermalls and being a frequent shopper there, me wonders how I would react if Jacobo singled me out and handed me a stem of rose.    I will probably smother him with kisses right there and then! Happy Hearts' Day, dear readers!   ... READ MORE

Now that Valentine's Day is just a few weeks away, I thought of the Effervescence Collection because it is, to this day, the most treasured collection from Links of London, and isn't it the ...

Surprises on this Day of Hearts!

02.14.2012 by Leah //

AJ surprised me today with red roses!  It's really very sweet of him   =)   I wasn't expecting anything today because I know he'll be sleeping the whole morning (he works at night while I work at day).   In fact, we sort of "advanced" our Valentine celebration last weekend with a dinner at our favorite restaurant, Chili's, knowing fully well that traffic is going to be a ...
