Last August 31, I was lucky to witness an event which is close to my heart and to every Filipino’s heart. SM Hypermarket Streetfood Festival! Growing up in Barangay Unang Sigaw in Balintawak, Quezon City, I remember how streetfood was everywhere specially when it is the baranggay fiesta. This streetfood festival brings back good and fun memories with my neighbors, my distant cousins and playmates and “kababata”. And who wouldn’t like street food? For me, these food transcends economic status, gender and regionality....
We were once refill ink users and it didn’t take much time before we realized that we aren’t really saving a lot. At first, it was fun, being able to print out a lot but within a month or two, my kids projects looked dirty as the ink we used smudged a lot. We also noticed that the colors were not as vivid as we expected. When it was time to refill the ink, it became a bit stressful to remove the cartridges and get our fingers dirty. No wonder that when we went to the refilling station, their place was also dirty with ink. HP...
I’ve always been a fan of Yummy, both the magazine and the website. I always wish that I have the space to collect all of their issues but that time is still yet to come. For now, I just enjoy myself keeping a few issues of the magazine and bookmarking my favorite recipes from the website. Yummy is my go-to for easy to cook recipes. Unlike other food websites, I can relate more with the recipes from Yummy because it uses ingredients I am familiar of. The recipes are not complicated and whenever I read a Yummy recipe, I usually feel...
Most parents has this notion that having crooked teeth only affects their children’s physical appearance. But there are worse effects which should be considered. Medical findings show that having crooked teeth not only affects a person’s dental health but the overall health as well. When teeth are crowded or widely spaced, there are more rooms for bacteria to grow. Using toothbrush and floss may not be that effective because corners and crannies between crooked teeth are difficult to reach. This often times require parents to bring...
I love weekends when the four of us have free time and freedom to choose how to bond with each other. These times are precious to my husband and I because as the kids grow up, our moments together are getting less and less. We parents get more and more busy with work while the kids are the same with their school projects and their own set of friends. Sometimes, I think of ways how we can bring back the days when my daughters were still younger, when we will watch cartoons, or play board games or just talk about anything under the sun....
My eldest is using a bag made of cloth to bring her lunch to school. I washed her lunch bag once through the washing machine but when it dried up, I saw the oil stains were still there. I once thought laundry soap can clean any kind of cloth and dirt but I was wrong. Do you know what helped me? A dish washing liquid. I told myself, why didn’t I think of that right away? What do you we use to remove oils in your plates but our dish washing liquid, right? So what I did is I put a generous amount of the dish washing liquid I currently...
Have you tried visiting a Hobbes and Landes shop? If not, I suggest that you try to enter one of their branches and I am sure you’ll find it hard not to be amazed of the collections they have for everyone in your family. First time I’ve seen their store in BGC, I immediately thought of my kids and my husband specially and I am sure that they are going to enjoy it once they see the store. Hobbes and Landes is a candy land for toy fans, collectors and hobbyists. Everything in the store is original and sourced from legitimate...
If you have kids who are still going to school and bringing their own food, I bet you also experience one of my dilemmas, unfinished lunch boxes. Although I don’t think there will be any moms who will have the exact problems like mine, we are usually concerned on how much nutrition they take daily when they don’t eat enough when they are at school. I can’t imagine how they are able to finish 7 hours of studying and playing in school and then carrying their heavy bags when they go home. But luckily, my daughters naman...
