Just wanted to document our experience that I think will be part of the “crisis of the century” – the Covid-19 pandemic, our antigen test-swab test that we never thought we would ever take. We decided to spend a day in Twin Lakes Hotel Tagaytay for Father’s Day and my birthday celebration. We got a Family Suite package and it included a 1-day stay on a 2-bedroom suite, 4 breakfast, and 4 massages or 4 antigen tests.

Unfortunately, when she told us, we didn’t know how the wound bled so we couldn’t assess how...
After the holidays, I find myself excited to try new tastes, flavors, and recipes. I’ve long heard and read about truffles in some recipes and names of dishes in high-profile restaurants, and I’m so curious about it. I thought truffles are some kind of chocolates but I found out that chocolate truffles are just named so because they look similar to truffles which aren’t sweet at all. I drizzled some truffle oil on our popcorn and as soon as the oil touched the popcorn, I smelled the aroma and I thought I was transported...
It’s January 1 and it’s time to write goals! I believe setting goals and listing them really helps in making someone be more productive. I remember when I wrote My 12 Things For Year 2020, I really did make good progress.
