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’m a sucker for red velvet cupcakes. Every time I pass by Sophie’s Mom or Vanilla Cupcake Bakery, red velvet cupcake will always be part of my “must buy” list for cupcakes. Apparently, cupcakes can be costly (minimum of P60.00… Continue reading → I’ve always loved sweets – chocolates, cupcakes, cakes, name it! But my […]

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… Continue reading →

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 […]

I just realized that I’ve been working as a freelance writer for almost three years now. So far, this “career” helped me manage my personal needs and the earnings are good enough to allow me to splurge on my kids. Being a freelance writer also opened different opportunities for me and it makes me feel […]

I grew up with sedan as our family car. My dad is not fond of big cars and opted for the “bigger sedans,” if there is such a thing, as a family car. Apparently, my husband is different, at least in car choice. He prefers bigger cars over the smaller ones since according to him, […]

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 […]

I always see House of Wagyu every time we go to Cardinal Santos for the girls’ checkup. At the same time, I saw some friends who ate in the said restaurant and gave good reviews about it. Since it’s our anniversary and my husband and I are both into steaks, we decided to give it […]

2015 was generally a good year for me. It was a year of firsts, major decisions, opportunities, and some roadblocks along the way – which I happily accepted. Some tested my patience while there are instances that made me thankful and blessed. Overall, I was happy with how my year turned out and I’m not […]

Photo: Amani Hasan, Flickr Every time the year ends, most of us will reminisce the year that was and at the same time, come up with new resolutions for the coming year. We always say “to save,” :”to lose weight,” “to work hard,” “to become a better person,” blah blah blah. But looking back, have we really […]

Confession: I have OCD. Well, sort of. It is manageable but I hate it when everything goes out of order or when my kids’ toys are placed in the wrong box. I love keeping everything organized – and with proper labels for every container – to maintain order at home.  This includes our kitchen.  When […]

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 pasta in all forms. Since then, I prefer cooking my own pasta meals instead of buying from restos. It was a good thing my husband loves pasta too, which makes it easier for me in the kitchen since I am not the best cook around. Few weeks ago, we attended our neighbor’s birthday […]
