Christmas is just around the corner. However, this year’s festivities will be different from the previous years. No thanks to the pandemic, there will be no more Christmas parties and family reunions just for now. Gift-giving will be different as well because of the financial difficulties associated with Covid-19. Still, Christmas is a season for […]
After watching Strong Girl Bong Soon, I’m officially hooked with Park Hyung Sik. When I learned that he has an upcoming drama after his military service, I immediately watched it. This is also the reason I subscribed to Viu. Haha! HAPPINESS, IN A NUTSHELL. Don’t be fooled by its title because the show is everything […]

This has been celebrated during the said dates since the time of President Magsaysay. Apparently, President Fidel Ramos has something different. In 1997, he issued Proclamation […]

The husband and I agreed to go on a family trip every summer. It’s a good way to relax, unwind, and just spend uninterrupted time with the kids even for a few days. We’ve been eyeing Las Casas in Bataan for quite sometime now and for this year’s trip, we decided to give it a […]
Math is one of my kids’ strongest subject. It could be their teachers’ teaching method, but I’m proud to say that they’re not really struggling with it – unlike me. Haha! Quarantine or not, one of the things we want to achieve this summer is to master the multiplication table. They were already introduced with […]
It was my husband’s birthday last month. I was contemplating on whether to buy 28 cupcakes for him (since he’s 28) OR to just bake my own cake. And since he’s a sucker for homemade stuff and prefers my baking over store-bought sweets, I decided to bake him a birthday cake instead. We have a favorite […]
Jun 18, 2019 | Reviews, Travels One of the popular things to do when in Hanoi is to visit Ha Long Bay, which is a three-hour bus ride from the country’s capital. During our trip, Ha Long Bay was not really part of our itinerary since we went there for business reasons. I think the […]
Plus, there’s a FREE PRINTABLE, too! The moment my daughters’ school announced that third trimestral exams are cancelled because of the threat of Covid-19, I couldn’t help but ask: how long will this last? Will this affect the next school year? How can schools adapt to this? This school year, we decided to enroll our […]
Let’s be real here: having a helper is a luxury these days. Even if we can afford to pay for one (or two!), finding a reliable, responsible, and trustworthy household help is almost next to impossible. So, if you’re a mom with a reliable helper that can help do chores for you, then congratulations. For […]
I remember hanging out in our home library when I was a kid instead of playing outside. I enjoy reading encyclopedia that my grandparents bought way before I was born.

When I saw Skip Hop backpacks in Mothercare and the cute Beatrix bags in Rustan’s, I instantly fell in love with it. My biggest mistake: I should’ve bought it immediately. They were so cute, it’s not surprising lots of mommas are willing to buy those bags for their little ones. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to […]
One of the things many married couples face (and sometimes fail!) is how to handle money at home. Trust me, it’s never going to be an easy topic to deal with and even discuss about.
