We were planning to go to Art In Island for such a long time but budget and availability became an issue so we had to put it as one of our to-dos on the later part of the year. But God is always good and He blessed us with the opportunity to go to this exciting place in such a perfect time. Jolly Cow, one of the first brands developed by Fly Ace Corporation, had included us on its “Jolly Cow Mom and Kid’s Day Out” which was a whole day treat for selected moms and their kids. The program included a visit to Art In Island,...

What I found in the grocery this week just made my husband love me more. His favorite “pulutan” is tofu or tokwa (not necessarily actually that he drinks alcohol, he just likes something to munch as he work on his computer) and my latest find made it easier for me to prepare what he likes. Datu Puti ToyoMagic is your perfect companion for “tokwang baboy” and it costs only P25 per bottle as I bought one from Puregold this week. It’s soy sauce combined with vinegar and onion (without the bits and pieces) and...

I will never forget Vicks Vaporub because it had been part of my childhood. I remember how my lola used to put Vicks ointment over my chest and on my back when I couldn’t sleep due to colds. We always have a tiny bottle of Vicks available inside the cabinet so I can just put some on my nostrils whenever I couldn’t breathe. I also remember the Vicks candies, the small green triangular (if I am not mistaken) menthol candies that I used to buy in sari-sari stores when I was still a kid. Until these days, we have Vicks in our...

Smelling good is one thing I always want my daughters to be conscious of themselves. When it comes to being ma-“kikay”, my daughters aren’t not that so much into that thing, but I told them that even if they are not that fashion savvy like most of their peers, they always need to at least smell good. Of course, that should follow naman because they have good personal hygiene habits but sometimes when they are at school, they do all these activities that they can’t avoid being “amoy-pawis”. That’s...

We were all brought up with cakes as one of the most special symbols of celebration, particularly birthdays. Filipinos love cakes and no matter how cake designs had evolved these days,  the simplest cake will be enough to bring happiness to the celebrant. But Red Ribbon—one of the leading bakeshops in the country—wants to make Filipinos feel more special by offering a double treat to celebrants with their latest Double Deck Dedication Cake. Have you tasted a Red Ribbon cake before? I bet you will agree with me that their chocolate...

As my kids are growing older, they get busier with their school stuff, their increasing number of friends, music, arts, etcetera. But I don’t loathe these stuff. These are all part of growing up. So what we do as a family to make up with our “bonding” moments, we go on family food trips. We call it “food trips” because we plan it just like our travel trips : we scout the place, we check the price, the food, the opening/closing time, and then we get the map. Even if it means just going to the nearby malls and...

When it comes to owning a home, I choose to dream big. After all, dreaming is free. But I don’t say that we plan to let our dream house be only a dream forever. Apart from praying a lot, we are working very hard to save to be able to buy a piece of land or a property that we can finally call ours. The house will not only be a home of love but it will also be a legacy for my daughters. We feel that we owe it to them to have a place where they can always come to even when they have their own families in the future. As parents, you...
