When I found out I was pregnant, I can’t help but think about this million-dollar question: who will be my child’s ninongs and ninangs? The tradition of choosing godparents date back to the early days of Catholic Church in consonance with the sacrament of Baptism. Since then, godparents became crucial in helping parents raise a child […]

I made a lot of confessions on this blog and here’s another one: I used to swim in credit card debt years ago.  It wasn’t that big since I paid for at least more than minimum every month before the due date. Still, whatever angle you look at, it is still DEBT. Thankfully, for my first […]

If you checked my posts about the recipes I do at home, you will notice that I always use chicken and pork. I’m no kitchen diva and cooking is not really my thing so I stick to the basics.  My husband and I are not fans of going out during V-Day. Instead of a fancy […]

There are many things married couples should look into and decide on: family home, child’s education, how to raise kids, savings account, and yes, a family car. A family car.  Personally, I do not consider car as an investment. The moment it steps out of the casa, the value immediately depreciates. Once you decide to sell it, […]

I love Baguio. Aside from the weather, growing up in that place brings back so many childhood memories stored in my memory bank. But because of school and pregnancies, it took me years before I was able to get back again. Last June, my husband decided to go to Baguio this December for a change. […]

I once watched Disney on Ice for my little brother’s sake, which was almost a decade ago. Since then, I haven’t watched any shows and didn’t plan on watching one – until I became a mom. I previously shared why my kids and I love Disney. So, when I found out I was given a chance […]

I never realized the importance of getting a birth certificate until I started looking for a job. Most of the time, my parents do the filling up of forms and anything NSO-related for me. Since I’m faced with grown-up problems, I realized that I have to do things on my own, including getting a birth […]

 “Are you okay? What’s wrong with you? Why don’t you tell me what’s happening?”  These are the questions my husband keeps on asking me for the past weeks (or even months!). Either I’ll pretend I didn’t hear his question or just say “Nothing” every time he ask.  Don’t get me wrong. I love my husband. […]

My husband and I love eating out. On date nights, we enjoy trying out new restaurants and getting back to old favorites. Now that we have two kids tagging along, it is hard (and stressful!) to eat out. What we do is we just buy ingredients from the grocery and cook at home.  One of […]

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… Continue reading →

If there is something I can eat everyday, it’s Spanish food. Growing up with my lola around, I got used to the smell of Paella, arroz ala cubana, croquettes and salpicao in our home. Since then, Spanish food always made me feel like home and reminds me of my lola’s cooking.  Sometime last week, I […]

Question: Do you have any plans for your retirement? How will you go about it? How much money are you setting aside NOW in preparation for the time that is about to come? Unfortunately, not many Filipinos are fond of the concept of “retirement.” In fact, many Filipinos start late in planning for their retirement. […]
