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. […]
Enjoy limited time offerings at King Chef Dimsum Kitchen
Whenever I get an invitation to eat in a Chinese resto, I’m like a “bibo” kid and would confirm my attendance right away.

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 […]
Presotea is now in the Philippines!
When I went to Taiwan for work a couple of months ago, part of my personal itinerary was to go to Presotea and try their tea beverages. But I just didn’t have the time. I thought the only chance I would have to try the various drinks of this popular establishment is when I would […]
