I just love Halloween, not because of what this festivity originally celebrates, but simply because of the memories it brings to me when I was a child and the excitement of little kids who want to wear costumes and do trick or treating. I’m just a kid at heart forever. sweet and crispy apple mummy pies And it gives me an excuse to make creepy but cute pies like these apple mummy pies. I discovered a new brand of apple pie filling in our local grocery store and I am just thrilled of how good it tastes and how easy I can just...

Have you thought about borrowing money for sometime now, like for your child’s tuition fee, mortgage, or maybe to buy something important that you think you can’t delay it anymore, or to start a business? I’ve avoided borrowing money for years now and it really did me good because I was able to plan and control our finances better. But I also will admit that we started from scratch and borrowed money from relatives and availed cash loans when we were starting our family life. Thanks to these people and money lending institutions,...
As parents, we all have big dreams for our kids and making sure they are healthy both physically and mentally is our top priority. I take my role as the “food influencer” at home quite seriously, so grocery shopping is a conscious exercise of choosing wholesome foods that can help develop fun and nutritious eating habits. I was invited to cover the launch of Elite Nutrition Coach Jeaneth Aro’s first story book. I was so excited to meet the wonderful lady who helped Hidilyn Diaz snag the Philippines’ first Olympic gold medal!...
Incoming school year is a few weeks away and like in the previous two years when enrollment is still being done online, my daughters needed to submit their requirements so they can get listed. My youngest who will be in Grade 11 this school year had a new requirement for this year – a medical certificate. I wasn’t surprised though since we’ve already read about the plans of DepEd to have the face-to-face classes this coming school year. Teleconsult using Mwell – the doctors are in within 10 minutes The requirement...
If you were asked this question, should you buy a car post-pandemic, what would you answer? Apparently, from the news, more Filipinos are actually saying yes and purchasing vehicles these days. Last week, I attended a blogging event for the first time after two years. I was excited because after a long period of time, I’ll be able to see some of my blogger friends again, mingle with more people who are not my relatives, see and do more things that I couldn’t do in the time of pandemic. I went to the venue via a shuttle that was...
If your child is planning to to take up a course that belongs to Science and Technology, don’t miss this scholarship which the DOST (Department of Science and Technology- Science Education Institute) is giving. I was just glad that my daughter, when she got into high school, she was proactive enough on her own in knowing the different scholarships that were available. Actually, we both have found out that there are more out there when it was at least almost the end of the year. She was able to submit all the requirements for DOST...

It’s the month of June, and my kids will finally graduate from high school. My youngest Mariel will be in senior high, while my eldest Maris will be in college. They told me that they are excited for the next school year because there might be a possibility for face-to-face classes. For now though, they would still have to learn under online classes. It has nearly been two years ever since the kids started taking classes in Google Meet and passing homeworks in Google Classroom. No one would have expected schoolwork to be done online....
