Our trip to Malolos, Bulacan last week gave us an idea on where to go to fulfill my promise to my nieces, Nina and Urielle and their friends, of a fun-filled day in an amusement park. I initially wanted to take them to Star City but with the possibility of us being stuck in a … More Sky Ranch Pampanga
Nina’s Christmas vacation officially starts today. She had her class Christmas party yesterday. She asked me last night if I want to go jogging with her and Little Tashi today. I said yes. We woke up at 5:30AM today but my Mom told us to wait for the sunrise because there are a lot of … More Jogging with Nina and Little Tashi
I woke up early this morning so I decided to take a walk with my nephew, Little Tashi (aka Gab). I think he liked the idea of playing in the street so after our breakfast I took him out again, this time to drive his new toy. He was thrilled! While Little Tashi was ‘driving’, … More Morning Walk and Guavas

Once you realize how valuable you are and how much you have going for you, the smiles will return, the sun will break out, the music will play, and … More Malolos Trip
Its a date with my sister, brother and niece today. We were supposed to go to Divisoria (largest flea market in Manila) to get some toys for the kids and Christmas favors but ended up in Marikina, Shoe Capital of the Philippines, for obvious reason – traffic. Ugh. My brother told me that Converse was … More Sibling Date
I’m back in the Philippines! Just like the last two times I visited my family, we spent day one of my vacation at the mall. This time however, we agreed to go to the mall closest to our house due to heavy traffic which has gotten worst due to Christmas Season. After our terrible experience … More Malling With The Family

Christmas … More Philippines
It’s a beautiful day! Today, Tashi and I celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. The first thing I did this morning was browse at my wedding photos and reminisce the day I married my friend. Below are some of my wedding photos. It has been a great ten years and I look forward to the next! … More Wedding Anniversary
My friends Chona and Bolko tied the knot last Saturday. It was an intimate, lovely, fun and multicultural wedding. One of the groom’s relatives very aptly called it “Polish-American-Philippine Wedding”. Chona and I have been friends since 2007. She was my lunch buddy at work. Sometimes, we’d share food or bring lunch for each other. She introduced … More Bolko and Chona’s Wedding
I’ve been enjoying garden fresh tomatoes for two weeks now. Today I was happy to see that two of my four eggplants are now ready too. I started growing herbs last year mainly for my bunnies. I wanted them to have a fresh supply of herbs for their daily (greens) diet. This year, I thought … More Harvest Time
