Most of us moms already know that it’s necessary to take care of ourselves. We’ve been told to relax from time to time, to give time for ourselves, etcetera. But sometimes, no matter how we try to relax, there’s one thing which will always stress us. And that is when we think of our budget. How can a mom relax if she sees how the prices of basic needs keep on rising? That’s how it is, you know. Because moms will always prioritize her family over herself. For example, if you have a small baby, a mother will buy a...
Do you use apps? Sa dami ng apps available, I stopped using so many and retained only a few. Because like some of the books I own (the physical books) end up being dusty. I am always de-cluttering at home and that’s the same with my phone. Aside from the default apps, I only keep my social media apps, Waze, Uber/Grab, A PDF Reader, and this one, most recently, The Smart Mommy App. The Smart Mommy App is actually a very new app which I’ve learned from the developer herself LJ Reyes. Yes, the actress LJ Reyes. I met her just...

This week, I’ve tried to use my Simple Touch Rotisserie Multi Air Fryer to cook liempo for dinner. It was my first time to do this as I have only used this machine for roasting chicken and baking cakes. I was given a bottle of San Pedro BBQ Sauce and so I thought to use it for basting. I didn’t have enough time to marinate the liempo so what I did to make it tender is to boil it for a few minutes with a pinch of salt. And then I generously brushed San Pedro BBQ Sauce over the liempo, set the Air Fryer for 12 minutes 200 degree...
When I was invited to witness this specific school-chair turn over event, I immediately agreed. Why? First, I get to see Quezon City Hall again which was one of my favorite “tambay” places when I was in high school. The QC Public Library was the nearest library we could visit way back then when we have research projects when I was studying at Quezon City Science High School. Second reason was that I get to see Mayor Herbert Bautista. I’ve seen him only on TV and I thought it will make me proud to shake hands with the...

I was surprised to see how huge their collection is of healthy products...

Watching Annie being performed on stage was a huge experience for me. Annie is but after all the first movie I’ve seen in the cinema back in 1982. Diba, when you are a child, everything seems to be so big for you? That’s how I see this movie back then. The movie theater was a gigantic place and there I was watching giant people on screen. But I remember that part when Annie sang “Tomorrow” and until now, I sing it whenever I can. My kids sing it too because it was one of the first songs I taught them. Jump to year...
