One of the things that fascinated me when I moved to the province was the locally-produced products in my grandmother’s hometown. One of those products is a fabric/textile that people call “habi.” Photo Credit: Edrock Photography The word “habi” means “to weave.” In the town of Maragondon, Cavite this is the term used for the […]
It has been nine months since this pandemic has started affecting the country. So much about our daily lives has changed, work-life included. We were off to a bumpy start at first: I was allowed to work from home at the beginning, then I was no longer allowed to work from home two months later. […]
One of the things that I have learned during this pandemic is that sometimes, life can turn on a dime and lead to things that we never expected. For the most part, it has led me to things, to life, that I am not used to. It has also led other people to different situations […]
Television is a big thing for me. My parents were very strict about TV time when I was a child and we didn’t have cable TV growing up so now I am crazy about TV shows and make it a point to watch as much of it as I can whenever I have the time. […]
The recent “scandal” involving a photo of Khloe Kardashian has raised a discussion on authenticity among celebrities and social media influencers. I find myself conflicted about this issue. On one end, I think we all try to show the best versions of ourselves online and for that reason it should not be a surprise that […]
I’m not much of a shopper. I am the type who only shops out of need more than out of want, which would explain my lack of proper wardrobe for going out (because I hardly do). When I do shop, I make a list then I’m in and out of the store as soon as […]
A couple of months ago a co-worker offered me some of her breakfast smoothies. It was made of cucumber, lemons, honey, and celery. It wasn’t bad and it was also very filling so I decided to try it myself. I ended up shopping for enough ingredients to make one glass a day for two weeks. […]
Pets. I have never had pets of my own. I do not think that I am a pet person, to be honest. I have always wanted one, but it is too big a commitment for me that I never got around to having one. I have never enjoyed movies that featured animals but when I […]
Meralco. I think the word inspires as much terror for me as the term COVID 19 does. When word got out that the recent Meralco bills of almost everyone I knew were way more than double of what they usually were, I already expected the worst when the meter reader came by to read our […]
A little bit of trivia: I like tinkering with stuff and figuring how things work. If I can fix things on my own without bringing it to a repairman, I will try to do it myself. I’m such a guy that way. My parents told me that it’s something that I’ve been into since I […]
New Normal. It is a term that has been thrown out there so many times during this pandemic. All over the world, people are talking about how there should be a new way that we live our “normal” lives. A way where we can continue to do the things that we used to do, except […]
(With the resurgence of interest in Sharon Cuneta lately due to her latest McDonalds ad with Gabby Concepcion, I thought I’d repost an old entry about her on this blog.) Back when I was a little girl I used to be a big fan of Sharon Cuneta. I started becoming a fan during the days […]
Another Level of Dancing The show is on another level of dancing this season. Contestants need an audition score of at least 85 to qualify for the competition. Contestants previously only needed a score of 83. This made the dancers who made it even better than the previous seasons, which makes for an exciting show. […]
The pandemic has taken everyone by surprise and has upended the way we live our lives. The lockdowns and the precautions being taken to prevent the spread of the virus has meant changing so many things about the way we go about our day to day activities. Personally, the situation has forced me to look […]
