I love shopping but I definitely love it more when I shop for my kids, although I try my best to be reasonable and stay within budget. So I have to thank whoever person who invented online shopping because everything else is so easy and convenient and of course, a lot cheaper. Upon the “death” […]

My baby A is turning three this December and by next school year, we are planning to enroll her for preschool. I was super excited to go preschool hopping and see how my daughter will fare compared to kids her age. At the same time, I want to see how she interacts with other kids […]

I find supermarket trips therapeutic. I get to spend alone time plus I enjoy discovering new products sold in the market. Unfortunately, grocery trips could mean “gastos” and if I’m not too careful, my grocery bill might balloon up. There was a time the husband and I spent more than P10,000 in our weekly grocery […]

I have to be honest with my eating habits. Prior to pregnancy, I never paid that much attention to food. I eat whatever I want, whenever I want it. It was easy to lose weight back then and get back on the fitness track whenever I want to, so I never worried that much about […]

Every summer, my family and I often travel to different places. It could be trips to Tagaytay to eat bulalo in a cool weather, overnight beach trips in Subic and Batangas, going to Baguio so we can wear our coats and jackets – and eat strawberries too, and even visiting Disneyland to see Mickey Mouse.

During my short stint in the corporate world, I was lucky to get assigned in Tomas Morato area. Everything is walking distance and most of the time, my colleagues and I’s problem is “Saan tayo kakain?” Aside from the strip in the Tomas Morato itself, we love exploring the insides of the Scout areas and […]
