It’s summer vacation and I have plenty of time with my girls to share with them my wisdom as a mom. Though most of the time, these “sharing” time end up being a time of “sermon” and we feel frustrated with each other, I always think that these bonding moments are essential for my kids. These are the most challenging days when we, as parents, can’t give up on them, especially on topics about self-confidence.

It was my first time to join NBS Grand Warehouse Sale in Mandaluyong. If you have been following NBS’ sale events, their warehouse used to be in QC. But the building has now become NBS College.

When they say 60-80% of the items will be on sale, you can be sure that everything you’ll find in the warehouse is marked down as such. I came early on the first day of...
I became a fan of Yeah Yeah Chinese Cuisine the first time I dined in this restaurant. You can read my past review about Yeah Yeah Chinese Cuisine here. I have to highlight though why I can truly recommend this restaurant. Their dishes are not only delicious but for me, they taste clean and well-seasoned. Clean because I haven’t tasted any greasy dish. In fact, the beef noodles do not have that greasy taste even when I ate it cold. Well-seasoned because the food I tried there were all flavorful, savory and not salty. Yeah Yeah...

Raise your hand if you are one of those who couldn’t take their mornings as complete without a cup of “sinangag” or fried rice or a steaming cup of white rice with their favorite ulam : fried egg, fried danggit, corned beef, hotdog, etcetera! That’s how it is at home, specially for my husband. My kids and I can live without rice (only on breakfast) but still, the choices we have for quick breakfasts are very limited. Calorie Counting Quaker Oats, our favorite quickcooking oats are here to save us all from the...
Have you seen Vicks’ latest #TouchOfCare video? If you haven’t, it’s a 4-minute video which tells the story of a child who was born with HIV infection.

It was the start of a beautiful life...
Summer’s coming and everyone will be craving for cold desserts such as halo-halo and ice cream topped with ube halaya.
