I’m not really an active person who loves to exercise. The last time I sweat so much was during my high school / dancing days. But when I got into law school, things changed. My husband (then boyfriend), who is a physically active person, also encouraged me to become active. So I tried running. The […]
Do you ever had that feeling of wanting to explode? Was there a time when you found yourself crying for no reason at all? Do you often spend extra minutes in the bathroom for some peace and quiet, and pretend there’s no chaos when you go outside? Do you purposely sleep late at night for […]

I love the beach. SO MUCH – and especially during my dalaga days. When the husband and I were invited by his good friend to go to his wedding in Batangas, we immediately said yes. We get to see his friends and at the same time, an opportunity to spend some time together as husband and wife. Unfortunately, […]

When it comes to innovative ideas, you’ll be surprised with how talented people are in coming up with new products. I came across this page in Instagram and the first thing that came into my mind is that I have the perfect souvenir for my baby’s birthday. It’s called cake jars by Sugar Rush. It […]
When my husband and I started living together, we don’t really care about expenses, budgeting or even saving. In fact, our grocery bill can be as much as P8,000, buying items we don’t really need. We even go out every week for our “date night,” watching movies and eating out. After quite some time, we […]
It’s November, which means it’s Bar Season for law graduates. As part of the tradition, bar takers stay in a common place, usually in a hotel, for four weekends and will go to UST as a group the following morning. This will make it easier to disseminate information and distribute materials (including last minute tips) […]

By six months, a baby can say “mama” or “dada,” although not necessarily referring to you (admit it, it brought tears to yours […]
Last Holy Week 2011, before I found out I was pregnant with my first child, my husband (then boyfriend) and his family went to Ilocos. It was a first time for me and it’s definitely an experience I’ll never forget. The travel was really exhausting. 16-hour drive is no joke and we were all cramped […]

“Ma’m, gusto ko na po umalis. May sakit ang anak ko / may emergency po sa amin. Kailangan ko po umuwi.” How many times have you heard this line – and more? Countless times, that’s for sure. Don’t worry. You are one of the thousands of mommas (including me!) who are helper-less and trying to […]
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 […]
