It was a great decision to join this year’s Mommy Milkshake Run by Mommy Mundo. I was a bit hesitant at first because BGC is too far from home but as ever, my husband is very supportive when it comes to events which will help us get fit. To be able to come on time, we had to wake up before five in the morning and had to be driving to Bonifacio High Street (between 9th and 34th street) before 5:30am. Good thing we were already prepared with what we will be wearing and the girls also had their shirts and shoes ready. We were all sleepy...
The Great British Festival held along the Bonifacio High Street last February 26-28 was a free-to-public event organized by the British Embassy to showcase Britain’s culture, talent and brands. It was actually the third festival and we were very happy that we get to experience it finally. We have been a fan of British fashion, their musical artists, and the beautiful country. We haven’t been there to UK ever, but we have relatives living and working in there. I myself have always wished to see the Big Ben and the London Eye....

When asked to choose from money, wisdom and love, I’ll say LOVE faster than the speed of lightning. Why? Because as a middle aged mother and wife, I think I’ve felt love and have given love in its simplest forms. Life Is Senseless Without Love No matter how much money you have and how knowledgeable you are, in the end, happiness will depend on how much you give and get affection from the people around you. I have read so many novels and people’s histories which strengthens the fact that people who shows hatred and influence...
Have you ever found yourself stuck in front of your computer looking for the perfect gift for someone special? I’ve had experienced it for so many times. Why? Because most of the shops I go to either doesn’t have the items I want or that the gifts I wanted to buy are being sold abroad. Sometimes I am tempted to ask my relatives abroad to just buy something similar for us, and ship them with their “balikbayan” boxes. The sad thing about it since I am only asking for a favor, I have to wait for them to ship their...
Are you fond of eating in Bonchon? We are! And so I found this recipe which as far as the accuracy of my taste proves to me, makes my fried chicken taste like Soy Garlic chicken from the famous restaurant. Of course, Bonchon’s Soy Garlic will remain one of our favorite chicken joints but when at home, I love to serve my own version. To be honest, I found this recipe from Yummy, but I tweaked it a little bit so that the ingredients that I have at home will fit.

I’ve long been looking at the pretty headbands of Peekabow. I’m truly amazed with how beautiful each pieces are, the colors that the creators use ( I fortunately met her online, mommy Adel ) the gemstones, and the laces. The babies modeling the headbands are adorable. I can spend several minutes each day looking at the photos. My fondness with big headbands and fascinators were inherited by my youngest. I bought her once from SM Department Store a yellow headband with a big yellow flower in it and I guess she loved it truly...
Finding the perfect jeans for me is a challenge not only because I’m petite but I’m also chubby in the usual parts. Very ironic because I think my body is very typical of Filipinas my age, but when I’m looking for jeans, I find it difficult to find a pair for me because they are either too tight fitting on my belly or they are low rise ( they don’t reach my belly at all). I’m looking for a perfect pair of denim jeans from Levis just recently, I’ve already found my size and my style, but when I got to...
