My two girls are going back to school soon, not physically, but via blended-learning system ( a mix of online and hopefully very minimal actual schooling – if ever it will be possible anytime soon). As their opening day comes closer, I’m already reminding them to start preparing, such as trying to adjust their sleeping patterns little by little, preparing a list of what they will need, and trying to adapt in an online mode kind of learning I tell them that this is not going to be easy, as it seems to be because they are...
How much are you missing cheesecakes? We do, and we miss the coffee or tea that my husband and I usually order when we have the dates we randomly take during weekdays just to break the monotony of our work at home life. Instead of the usual cookie-crumb crust, a whole sandwich cookie serves as the base for each cheesecake. Chopped cookies are mixed into the filling. You can imagine how creamy and oreowy ( I coined the term 😆) these cheesecakes are. I snatched this recipe from Martha Stewart herself so you can bet that...
It has been four months and though we live in a subdivision within Quezon City where restrictions are more relaxed, it’s still a struggle when it comes to doing the usual things we do: going to the grocery, visiting our friends, bringing mom to the doctor for her dialysis etcetera. It’s not actually the restrictions that made these things difficult, but the need to be careful that we don’t get infected or bring the virus into our home as we do all these chores. When we first heard about the virus, as parents, we already decided...
For the teen KPOP fans out there, and the parents who are having headaches how to teach or inspire their kids to MANAGE their time wisely – I feel you! Are you a parent of KPOP fans like me? Being a fan, not only of Korean popstars, even of other celebrities, can be fun. It’s a fact because it’s one form of entertainment and we need these to make our lives more exciting and to freshen ourselves after hours of working. In fact, I even went to a KPOP concert one time with my kids and had absolute fun. You can...
I made this cute bento box for a campaign for Absolute Distilled Drinking Water and I was so thrilled of the outcome I wanted to share how I made them. If you are a bento fan or if you find this bento box cute and want to know how I did it, you can watch this short video. Making bento boxes are fun and though it takes effort, it can surely make the receiver smile with delight. The downside is that sometimes it’s too cute that you just can’t eat it. Watch as I explained how I made this Avengers Bento Box This...
There’s so much craze about baked sushi these days and so I thought to join the bandwagon. This recipe is so easy you can bake it in just less than an hour. It’s made mostly of crab meat, rice, and mayonnaise and is a good appetizer or a dish in itself because of the rice. In other sushi bake I saw, they use salmon and I wanted to use that but I’m in a tight budget and besides, I like crab meat nonetheless. Recipe for Sushi Bake 2 cups warm Jasmin rice or Dinorado1 tablespoon Japanese soy sauce (I use Kikkoman)1...
On my birthday, I indulged myself with a chocolate tart, a lemon tart and a slice of basque burnt cheesecake from a popular restaurant called Sourdough Cafe. Since I was also craving for some pasta, I decided to try the Alfredo pasta from their menu. I was surprised that what I ordered was actually a DIY Pasta Kit. Have you tried cooking pasta out of a box like this one? And so I followed the instructions which were clearly printed at the front of the box. Below were an unboxing video and the taste testing courtesy of my daughter....
I love, love every stuff delivered to me from Photobook Philippines. I recently ordered personalized pillows, tumblers, luggage tags, and photo albums and they were amazing. The quality of each item was very satisfactory and I love to see all these pieces of stuff that have our photos and names on them. Customized pillows where our travel photos were printed. I was very happy to discover Photobook because we have lots of photos I’d love to be printed. Printed photos are different from those you save on the computer. For me,...
