Back when I was in college, boy bands were a big thing. While I did have a love for NSYNC, the group I was a big fan of in those days was the Irish group Boyzone. I remember my planners were filled with photos of the guys and I saved up my allowance so that […]
My family and I have gotten into the habit of going on staycations these past few years. We started with Tagaytay’s Taal Vista Hotel then moved on to Summit Ridge Hotel and Twin Lakes Hotel. It’s not easy planning a vacation for a huge family. Everyone is looking for something specific in the hotel we […]
I recently learned that some people have betrayed my trust. People are actively stabbing me in the back for their own personal gain. People who I have never wronged in any way except for the fact that apparently, I am in their way. My first reaction was shock, followed by disappointment and anger. I have […]
If you’ve ever gone to Batangas via Cavite’s Kaybiang Tunnel, you’ve definitely passed by this coffee shop that I love going to. Mountain Brew is located in Ternate, Cavite. If you’re going to Batangas, this would be on the right side of the road and just after you head up on the way to Puerto […]
I have resumed working at the office after working from home for roughly two months during the Enhanced Community Quarantine. Being back at the office has not been easy since I have health conditions that label me as “at-risk” but it is not like there is anything I can do about it at this point. […]
Getting older means having different interests. Growing into the whole adult phase of my life has meant being interested in things for the home: quick fixes, tips and tricks, and whatnot. I’ve read through home improvement books and magazines to find solutions for the things I want to get done at home but for the […]
As a single woman in my 40s, I constantly get questions regarding my intention (or lack thereof) to get married and having a family of my own. I remember a friend of mine in the same situation saying that if we were given money every time we were asked about it we would be rich […]
I have an iFlix account that I hardly use, so I thought that I needed to make it worth my money by watching a movie or two on it when I can. That was when I discovered this (now defunct) series called Pure Genius. This show is about a billionaire who started his own hospital […]
I watch so many TV shows in a year that sometimes it makes even my head spin. I can’t help it, there are just too many good ones out there! It can get confusing sometimes considering that I switch between watching on TV or on streaming sites to catch up on my favorite shows or […]
Art is something that I have an appreciation for. I enjoy looking at framed art paintings at museums and for a time I used to make pencil portraits from photos (I think this was in high school). One thing I do know is that it does not only take talent but it also takes a […]
(Reposting an older entry by request. Please note that this was from a year ago and changes may have already been made since the time of this entry.) A few months ago, I had an uncle who came over from Japan. He hasn’t been home in the Philippines in years so I thought it would […]
In a few days, I will turn another year older. The more I get older the more I feel like I’m living on borrowed time. The more I feel the need to reflect if I have been making the best of my life if I have been living up to my full potential and doing […]
I was going through some copycat recipes on Pinterest when I came across this copycat recipe of Texas Roadhouse’s Rattlesnake Bites from Alli of Tornadoughalli.com. I have never been to Texas Roadhouse even if there is a branch here in the Philippines so I have never tried this. I just know that I wanted to […]
I’m not your typical female shopper. I’m not into clothes, shoes, and accessories. As long as I have something to wear, even if it means wearing something over and over until they become worn out, I’m good. It takes convincing from family and friends before I actually go out and buy something to wear for […]
