We had a pleasant lunch eating for the first time at Lido Cocina Tsina (Home of Chinese Pugon-Roasted Asado) in Batasan Hills, QC. We initially planned on just having take-out for lunch but the kids suggested to just eat there and spare us from washing the dishes. It was 11AM so I thought they got a point. It’s almost high-noon and it’s getting hot outside and the restaurant had no customers in there yet. It was as if it was welcoming us with all those empty seats. The restaurant isn’t that big but the walls are made...

Do you own an expensive Guess bag? If you do, how do you keep it from being worn out? My Guess bag was given to me by my aunt when she went home here in the Philippines from California, USA. It’s her “pasalubong” for me. She knows I love bags and most ladies love to own a Guess bag because of its popular brand name. But Guess bags are also quality bags. They are not only of quality material but they are most specially eye candy with their recognizable prints. Like any other bags, you need to take good care of these bags...

With so many local celebrities here in the country, I can pick only a few who I think are not only worth watching on TV/cinema but also worth emulating by my daughters. I am very careful when it comes to this area because, well, I know that celebrities are imperfect and have hidden flaws, and these can easily be misunderstood when written in the net. They can easily become negative examples of teens.  Anne Curtis, for me, had a great reputation for a very long time. She has a clean but classy fashion sense, she speaks well and she is...

Nowadays, rushing to finish an unexpected school project or even a simple assignment can be really stressful, not only for the students but for their parents as well. Imagine the children staying up late at night just to research, write, and put together a book report, biography, movie review, poster or collage, and other projects. But what is most distressing is when they suddenly realize they won’t be able to submit the project or assignment and all these hard work would amount to nothing simply because of last-minute printing problems...

This will be my journal of how I started learning to drive. It will be a rough journal and I’m writing this purely from my memory of my day today. No edits, no drafts. Just take from it whatever you need if you are like me, having the fear of driving but still wanted to go out there, and learn how to drive. Goodluck to us. This morning finally, I got the time to go with my father to start my driving lesson. Instead of going to a driving school, I decided to ask Papa to teach me. I thought it will be better that I give him some money...

This is not a rant. It’s just that I want to be enlightened why in the usual fast food restaurants that we go to, when I want to order a regular iced tea with my meal, they’d say that it will be automatically upsized and I have to pay more. I know you noticed it but since we usually go to these places, ordering “fast food”, we usually just shrug our shoulders and ignore it when the cashier tells us, “Ma’m, your pineapple juice/iced tea will automatically be large.” But shouldn’t we have the...

Do you know that February has been declared by the Office of the President as the Philippine Heart Month since 1973? We are very glad to know that because our heart is one of the most important yet most fragile part of our body. Heart attack has been one of the most prevalent diseases in our country even though most of our population belongs to the poor bracket. I’ve also read many cases of heart diseases in young people. I believe this is because we don’t care much of our hearts. Yes, we are affectionate and caring, but physically,...

I don’t know any person or child who doesn’t like to eat biscuits or maybe even have some nibbles from time to time. Most often these are Rebisco Biscuits. I buy them weekly when I do the grocery for my kids’ snacks at school and at home. I also don’t leave our pantry empty of these biscuits because I eat them when I get sleepy during the middle of the day. You know that feeling, right? Rebisco biscuits, my favorite is Nissin Butter Coconut biscuits and even my kids. It’s sugary and easy to bite and perfect...
