Jul 27, 2023 | Mompreneur I was never business savvy. But by the end of 2020, I took a leap out of my comfort zone and opened a convenience store with my husband. Two years after, I joined my siblings and opened a coffee shop. Modesty aside, the stores and café are doing well. We’ve […]
Here’s how my morning goes: I wake at five or six in the morning, do chores, then cook breakfast for my family. I know this is wrong, but I usually cook a separate meal for my kids’ breakfast to encourage them to eat more. This means I often cook three different dishes (eggs included) in […]
Work, kids’ activities, and the Holiday season are getting in the way the past few weeks that I wasn’t able to cook “properly.” I’ve been cooking the same quickie meals and re-heating leftover foods to save time and so I can focus on other tasks (like laundry!). Thankfully, I was able to slow things down […]
I always see House of Wagyu every time we go to Cardinal Santos for the girls’ checkup. At the same time, I saw some friends who ate in the said restaurant and gave good reviews about it. Since it’s our anniversary and my husband and I are both into steaks, we decided to give it […]
We had so much plans for this summer. Sadly, coronavirus happened and we were all forced to #stayathome to help #FlattenTheCurve. Sure, my kids were bummed but let’s look at the bright side. At least, we get to stay with our kids and make memories even at the comfort of our homes. Then, I saw […]
What comes to your mind when you hear, “Beef Stir Fry?” When I do this, I usually cook beef sirloin strips in onion, garlic, a little bit of soy sauce, salt, pepper, and any vegetable I can find in the fridge. It is a simple dish I can easily whip in a few minutes, excluding […]
I grew up with books surrounding me. When I was in grade school, I have a portion in my room where I keep all my Sweet Valley, Babysitters Club and Nancy Drew books. I would rather have a new Sweet Valley Kids book than get a Barbie doll on my birthday (though I love playing […]
One of the things I dread these days is getting older. I know it’s inevitable, that’s why as early as now, I make it a point to take care of my skin. Being a mom of two hyperactive girls with no yaya, with online stores and online job to manage, shopping for skin products often […]
I have so much appreciation and respect for teachers. Apart from their dedication and commitment to teach our kids, I believe that they are also selfless when they take the role as our child’s second parent. This is why I always make it a point to give back to my kids’ teachers as a symbol […]

They say it’s the most wonderful time of the year. That’s true. In fact, Christmas is my favorite holiday and I’m sure this is my kids’ favorite holiday too. It’s always exciting to put up a Christmas tree, fill it with gifts underneath, and decorate our home. Still, I have to say this: I dread […]
Okay, I was too preoccupied with Hometown Cha Cha Cha (how could I not?!) that I didn’t bother checking out Squid Game when it started to trend. I promised to watch the show when I have time but surprisingly, my husband, who’s not really into Korean shows, insisted that I watch it. Plus, I’ve been […]
Let’s face it: there will always be tasks or responsibilities that are more for women than men. Take the case of household chores. Traditional setting dictates that women are in charge of doing the chores while the husband works. Even if mom works, she still has to tend to some household work as soon as […]
It doesn’t matter where you are in the world. The fact of the matter is Covid-19, coronavirus, China virus, or whatever name you want to call it, put a strain on all of us. Instead of living, we’re all finding ways to survive. Being stuck at home is one thing. However, there’s a bigger issue […]
