A few years back, I blogged about my Taco recipe and how I do my taco shells because I am not a fan of the usual store-bought corn shells. Actually, I don’t make my own shell from scratch, but rather, I buy Lumpia wrappers and deep fry them instead. It is a little bit more […]

Join the Serenitea Trivia Nights Tour and prepare for lots of fun!
Growing up in the 80s meant I was able to enjoy watching Sesame Street up until when my kids were born. I love seeing the characters Ernie & Bert, Elmo, Cookie Monster, Big Bird, Mr. Snuffleupagus on the boob tube. I would also sing along to the show’s main theme (“…can you tell me how […]
Bring Your Own Bottle and visit the NutriAsia BYOB store at The Mind Museum!
As a consumer, I always try to find ways on how to recycle bottles and containers of condiments that I use. Sometimes, I use bottles as flower vases or old containers as a bin for laundry items instead of just throwing them away. I also donate some of them to various organizations who can make […]
A sweet escape to Lima Park Hotel in Batangas
When I think of places to visit, I would always imagine myself sunbathing in Maldives or enjoying a gondola ride in Venice again. But then, I also realize that there are still so many gems in our country that I have yet to discover; places like Batangas where Lima Park Hotel in Malvar is located. […]

Shake Shack opens its doors in Manila on May 10!
The first time I tried Shake Shack’s ‘Shroom Burger was when we visited Hong Kong last year. I immediately fell in love with it. But that joy was quickly replaced by sadness as I realized that there’s no Shake Shack in Manila in case I miss having a ‘Shroom Burger. I hate having to crave […]

It’s been a while since I’ve done a food post. So, for my comeback post, I decided to kick things off by sharing some of my favorites at Paradise Dynasty. Whether it’s at their S Maison branch or The Podium, or even at their newly opened SM Aura branch, I’m sure many of you have […]
My fun experience helping my daughter prep for her High School Ball
Being a parent to a daughter who will be attending her first school ball presents all kinds of interestingly daunting challenges. I guess most moms to daughters who’ve been through this can relate, am I right? The moment I learned when and where my daughter’s ball will be, I started looking online for gown inspirations. […]
A visit to the Heart of Alsace – Hometown of the Dreyfus family
A couple of years ago, I was able to go to Paris, France with my husband for work. During that trip we also explored a few places around France which included Alsace — the region of the country where the Dreyfus family hails from. Going around the Alsace region and to be able to enjoy […]
