What I love about our little girl at home is that you can give her anything and she’ll be ecstatic over it. Even with a single candy! Last Saturday, we went to Robinson’s Galleria to buy a gift for my goddaughter. Since a toy for her was not on the budget, she settled for bedroom [...]
A van would be really nice to have for the whole family by next year. I think I can already handle the monthly amortization. If there will be repairs or parts to be replaced, that would happen around the second year mark, I believe. So that’s another thing that I can handle. It’s not like [...]
My dad was just probably not eager to take out the one we had from the storage room upstairs so when he saw this tiny colorful Christmas tree, he bought it right away!
No need to put Christmas lights around it because it already has its own lights shaped like flowers. No need to put accents [...]
My family is planning on traveling this month as well as early next year. We all want to be able to capture the special moments, of course. We will borrow my aunt’s Canon Powershot and we will also be bringing my digicam. It is exciting to plan for the trip. One night last week, we [...]
Instead of buying a floral arrangement, why not buy flowers and accents separately and arrange it yourselves?
That’s what we do whenever we visit my mom’s grave. We would go to Dangwa, a place here in Manila popular for fresh flowers and accents. You can haggle and get great discounts, especially when you go there early [...]
We have someone who’s doing the laundry for us. We noticed three or four months ago that our clothes smelled so nice. We knew it wasn’t the detergent bar or powder so my dad asked her what she’s using. A fabric softener. We didn’t want to use that before fearing the smell would not be [...]

At home, we normally add more rice at night so that we would have excess for the next morning. My dad will then make us some friend rice for our breakfast.
The photo above is not the exact fried rice being cooked by my dad for us. But he would incorporate excess pork, fish or [...]
Last night, a Karen Carpenter song, I Won’t Last A Day Without You, was playing on the radio. Do you know what happened? We all sang together! Hahaha! It was so funny and sweet. Even my dad sang the song.
Some songs really do this to us. Make us all sing, that is. It was really [...]
I would love to have one like this at home
Bagoong alamang, or shrimp paste to non-Filipinos, is common in our household. We always have one ready just in case we want to put a little in our rice or viand.
Yesterday, we had some green mangoes with bagoong. It was really flavorful. I put a little bit of bagoong with my breaded porkchop, too. Weird [...]
