Don’t miss PETA’s Charot play
Being a big fan of Philippine Educational Theater Association (PETA) after watching the popular Rak of Aegis play three years ago, I didn’t think twice when my sis in law invited us to watch Charot. Charot is a Filipino colloquial term that means “just kidding”. A comedy intelligently written, Charot gave me the dose of…
The Venice Grand Canal of Metro Manila ❤️
Weekends are worth waiting for! ❤️ Whether in our bedroom or somewhere outside our comfort zone Quezon City, quality time with these two is a perfect breather. Out of my 32 years as a QC girl (exagg, I’m definitely older than this mall), it’s my 1st time to visit Venice Grand Canal or Venice Piazza….
Traveling then and now
When I was single, I used to travel a lot with friends. I used to be a fan of seat sales and office group travels. That season of my life is over. 😅 Nowadays, the exciting thought of travel comes with a bunch of other considerations: what’s the budget, can I bring the husband and…

Many things change when you already have a child. That includes your choice of anniversary celebration! 😊 My husband and I celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary last September 5.

Father’s Day Celebration Ideas
Though some of them might be allergic to cleaning baby’s poop, Dads will always have a special spot in the hearts of children. It’s amazing how they can smoothly turn from being a serious working dad to a funny Sesame Street-sounding creature who can tickle (sometimes literally) the little one’s fancy. It’s heartwarming how, despite…
Sharing the meatier and cheesier McSpaghetti meal with my family
Eating spaghetti brings happy memories to me. Well, that’s obviously because as a 90s kid, I grew up in a generation whose kiddie birthday parties were never complete without a spaghetti (plus hotdog with mallows on a stick). So it’s amazing how a simple plate of spaghetti can trigger so much joyful nostalgia. Now that…

My wifey duty “date destination search” led me to a ramen place in the heart of bustling Ortigas.

The Serranos at Kandle Cafe :)
We started the long weekend catching up with one of our favorite couple friends, Gene and Toni.

I have always been a huge fan of anything sweet — from the very Pinoy kakanin to cakes and chocolates and ice creams!
