If you use Spotify, you probably would have noticed a playlist of your 100 most played songs for the past year. I first got this for 2016 and now I have another one for 2017. I guess you can have an idea of what kind of person I am by listening to my playlist. Allow […]
I’m in the middle of writing a love story and the songs that play in my head whenever I think of the main characters in my “novel” (or novella, depending on how long it actually ends up) are the songs Delicate and New Year’s Day by Taylor Swift. For now, my working title is My […]
Is it just me or is a certain generation just obsessed with having a lot of everything? Just to clarify, I am talking about the difference between my generation and that of my mother. I would like to think that I am more into the minimalist type of living: I may accumulate stuff, but when […]
Most of the people who know me would be aware that I am every bit of a coffee girl. I love coffee, mostly when there is no cream on it and just a little bit of sugar. Not having one cup daily is a challenge for me because it feels like the one thing that […]
When I was growing up, I hardly had problems with acne. I didn’t even do anything special to my skin at the time, just soap and water. Facial care was something I started taking seriously when I was in my mid-20s. This was the time when I started using products such as moisturizers, cleansers, toners […]
I’ve seen a lot of blogs that feature the things that women (and men) have in their bags. I don’t think that I’m ready to share everything that’s in my bag so allow me to start small by sharing the items that are in my vanity purse or, as we call it here in the […]
One of my most popular posts on this blog has been my entry about loving the home scents that I get from Mia Maison. I have tried several other scents since then, but I have always gone back to Mia Maison. Now that I can buy them online via Lazada, making my purchases from this […]
First things first, I need to be upfront about this: I hate summer. I’ve never liked the heat, I’m not a big fan of the sun. I prefer my weather to be cold and gloomy. I prefer the rain. I know that sounds depressing to some, but for me, summer makes me grumpy and the […]
Growing up in a gated subdivision in the southern part of Metro Manila, I was used to living in a house where the view from my window was just the other house next door. When we moved to the province to my grandmother’s house, the view was pretty much the same. It was just another […]
Way back in 2003, I was introduced to and started blogging. There weren’t that many people that I knew back then so I was following a select few who were posting about things that I had a similar interest in. Blogging back then was about sharing our interests and our experiences and thoughts. I guess […]
Have you ever liked a celebrity so much that you wonder what it would be like to hang out with that celebrity and maybe be “besties” with them? I have. Photo Credit: Pixabay If I a genie were to appear and tell me that I can form my own celebrity squad ala Taylor Swift, these […]
Have you ever wondered where you came from? What your family was like in the old days? I’ve realized after talking to my mother that apart from knowing who my great grandparents were on her side of the family, I never knew who they were. It surprised me even more than on my father’s side, […]
These days, it is very important to keep our trash as little as possible. In these times where countries are shipping trash to other countries, (because they have nowhere else to put it) it’s become very important to be able to go as zero waste as possible. If we can’t, we should at least have […]
When I was younger, it was a given that weekends were usually spent with my cousins from my mother’s side of the family. Summer vacations too. There were also the holiday get-togethers at our grandmother’s place so we could see each other for Christmas. I appreciate that our parents made the effort to get us […]
