I never really worried about real property taxes and other grown up stuff. Living with my parents for 23 years made my life easier and more convenient. Of course, I had to move out when I got married, which means I have to take care of my own home, including payment of property tax. After […]

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 […]
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 […]

I’ve heard about traveller’s notebook for quite sometime now, but never really took the time and effort to look at it closely – until few months ago. I was content with my CBTL planner, which is my home-work-personal organizer. Unfortunately, depression was kicking in and I figured journalling might be a good way to help […]
Hands down, my kids probably have the most sensitive skin in the entire planet! A mosquito bite on their legs will turn black – and it takes weeks before the marks go away. However, this time is different. Photo from NIAID, Creative Commons, Flickr Weeks ago, I noticed red, scaly rashes on my eldest’s arm […]
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 […]
As a young and relatively new parent, I am excited to see my girls wear uniform, go to school, teach them with their homework, attend parent-teacher meetings, the works. And now, my time is about to come. Next year, we plan to enroll A for Nursery and see how she will do with the other […]

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 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” […]
