Last January marked the 18th year that I have been blogging. While this site does not have all the entries that I have posted from the very beginning, there are some reposts here and there that I have added from previous incarnations of my blog. I cringe at the thought of having my earliest entries […]

It’s rare for me to be a big fan of any celebrity. I may like one celeb here and there but no one has ever made me go on the whole “showbiz fan” ride except for one actor: Dennis Trillo. The first time that I noticed Dennis Trillo was in his role in the move […]

When I first moved to the province from the city, I felt that my stay would be temporary. Now that I am two decades into it, I feel that there’s no place I’d rather be. Aside from enjoying the fresh air and not living in an overcrowded area, one of my favorite parts about it […]

This pandemic has been such a trial for many people financially, myself included. There have been extra expenses to make sure we are all living in a safe and healthy environment. The cost of so many things have gone up and some items that we usually need have been harder to come by than usual.  […]

When I was a little girl, my father liked to encourage us to watch movies that he liked. It had gotten to the point that particular movies became traditions for us to watch during the summer. One of those movies is The Sound of Music. The film is a classic that was filmed in 1965 […]

Last month I attended a holiday party that had denim as a clothing theme. I thought it was an easy enough theme to follow until I realized that didn’t actually own anything denim – not anymore anyway. I own a lot of pants that look like denim but aren’t, and a dress which had a […]

Late last month I was on sick leave for more than a week. On the weekend before that, I thought I just had a simple cough and cold situation but by the time Monday rolled in I was having difficulty breathing and had chest pains brought about by an extremely dry cough. I tried to […]

Another week has passed in 2020. I can’t believe how fast the days have been. I feel like it was only yesterday we were celebrating the new year and now we just celebrated Chinese New Year! Only one more week to go before it’s a whole other month!   So much has already happened in the […]

[Yet another entry that was being searched for in my blog so I had to repost this!] The first time I noticed Michael Vartan was in the movie Never Been Kissed with Drew Barrymore. I became a fan and started looking for Michael Vartan movies to add to my (then) VCD collection (I think DVDs […]

As I mentioned in a previous entry, my co-worker died while attending a seminar a few months ago. It was such a wake-up call for me in terms of realizing that I needed to reassess my priorities and focus my life on the things that matter to me the most. Recently, the wife of another […]

Have any of you ever heard of tablea? Technically tablea is a Spanish word that means tablet, but in the Philippines, it commonly refers to a type of thick hot chocolate. Tablea is usually bought in the form of thick, tablet-shaped disks that are made from cacao which is melted in boiling/hot water. I’ve heard […]

One thing that I keep reading about on social media is that Salted Egg Potato Chips are popular these days here in the Philippines.  I keep seeing photos of it and read about it being raved about by some friends and I was curious. What was the big deal? How come I have never seen […]

To the guys who tend to read my blog, this may be the post that you’d like to skip. I don’t think you’ll get much from it. It’s about that time of the month and some zero-waste concerns about it.   My sister and I were talking about how difficult it was to go zero-waste when […]

There was a time when I loved putting on makeup. I hardly ever put on makeup when I was still a student so when I finally started working, I started wearing makeup to work and whenever I needed to go out. Lately, however, I have shied away from using too much makeup. My policy on […]
