I am not a fan of flower bouquets ever since. I feel that flower bouquets are a waste of money since I can't really eat them like chocolates or cakes and I can't hug them like stuffed toys. My husband changed my perception of flowers. Even though he knew that I am not a fan, he still gave me flower bouquets every now and then. He said that he wants me to feel girly and special even more.  Bouquet of Gerbera Bouquet of Stargazer Lilies Stargazer Lilies! My favorite! Dried...

Christmas is the most exciting Holiday for me. As soon as the year hits on the "ber" months, I really get excited. My heart leaps with joy whenever I hear Christmas songs and see Christmas lights and decors.  For Christmas 2010, I promised my little girl that I would set up a Christmas Tree for her since I was not able to do so the previous year. Early November, we started hunting for the perfect tree. I wanted it to be around 6 ft. tall but I wanted...

If there will be people who will never ever leave your side no matter what you have done, whatever situation you are in, whatever circumstances you are facing, whatever mistakes you have made, through richness or hardships, through prettiness or ugliness, etc etc, they will be your family.  I am proud to say that I have the best family in the world! They may not be perfect but they have been there for me in every single battle that I've had since I was a little...

I know it's past Christmas but I haven't finished my blog series yet. I was so caught up with the holiday rush, parties and events last week that's why I did not really have the time to sit down and write. So, here you go! Last three blogs to go for my "12 Days of Christmas" series. Ice Cream can cheer me up at anytime that I feel really down. I can finish a pint on my own in less than an hour. While joining the Christmas shopping rush last week, we passed by aDippin'...

Books are my friends. I love them and can't live without them. They have been in my wishlist for every single exchange gift that i have had. Here are the books that I've got this jolly season. Like Water for Chocolate(Laura Esquivel)The novel follows the story of a young girl named Tita who longs her entire life to marry her lover, Pedro, but can never have him because of her mother's upholding of the family tradition of the youngest daughter not marrying but taking...

I'm in love with bread. I can pass a day eating nothing else but bread. I can go from "piso-pisong" bread to expensive ones. Price doesn't matter as long as my taste buds are satisfied. When I was still in college, a new store opened up in Rob Place Manila that sells nothing but bread and some cakes - Bread Talk. The smell of newly baked bread goodies was so enticing that I can't help but go inside and check out what they have. They have bread choices that I have never...

Coffee is an addiction that I can never remove before I got pregnant. Since I was in college, I would sip several mugs of coffee to keep me awake so I can finish my home works, reports, researches and case studies. Coffee has also been my best friend during sleepless review nights for upcoming departmental and final exams. Whenever I loose hope of keeping myself awake while reviewing in our small flat, I would convince my roommates to go out of the building and review...

I never really liked taking pictures because I always want to be part of pictures. I don't really care about the angles in which the pictures were taken or the art there is. I only want the moments to be captured so I can keep them somewhere and have something to remind me of those great events in my life. Until I met my husband - Raymond. He is keen to angles and focus when taking pictures. He doesn't want to just click away but instead, he wants to capture the moment...

I am a self proclaimed chocolate lover. I really get excited over chocolate fondues, big bars of milk chocolates, chocolate cakes and all other chocolate goodies!  Sometime last year, while I was a non-working pregnant bum, I came across this blog from a teenage Malaysian girl about her experience of Haagen Dazs Chocolate Fondue. Her blog actually enticed me to try it myself. I looked for other references that would point me to a local Haagen Dazs store that offers...

t my hubby bought a new cellphone was last 2007. He bought a Samsung SGH E890 - small. light weight touch screen phone with stylus and 3.2 mega pix camera. He dared to be different when the era dictates Nokia N Series and all those other bulky phones. He opted for a touch screen even if most would say that touch screen phones are hard to use and are in no way user friendly. He always wanted to be different and doesn't really care about what others would say as...

Our little girl, Cherienne, is growing fast. She loves to learn new things, try new stuff and put anything that she can get a hold of into her mouth. She has learned a lot of new words simply by listening and imitating the words that she hears from Disney TV shows and from her educational toys. She also loves to sing and dance! Play Justin Beiber's song "Baby" and you can expect a total performance from her!  Weeks ago, Raymond and I have mentally listed...

Candy Cane Chill Blizzard from DQ, also known as Peppermint Chip Blizzard, is my most unforgettable and most awaited for Blizzard from Dairy Queen. It is the blizzard of the month of DQ every December and it brings back good 'ol December '08 memories to me each time. This was the only dessert I wanted to eat when I was pregnant! Last night while we were in Mega Mall, I craved for some ice cream. And just as I wished for it, we passed by DQ and my eyes were suddenly...

The Corporate World tends to be stressful especially when things are just so crazy with rules not being followed and demotivation is everywhere. You can rant about everything but you certainly know that this will not change anything. You try to take a step forward but you are blocked by those who think they have the solution and will do everything to get what they want. It is tiring and draining. Work load is no problem but when the environment where you perform your...
