Weddings & Babies

Tim & I celebrated our first wedding anniversary last month. It’s still quite shocking that it has already been a year since that lovely day. Cheesy as it may sound, I think my wedding is the best — for me at least. So many things went wrong or were changed last minute due to unforeseen circumstances but I wouldn’t trade it for the world.

To celebrate, we just went to my favorite local cafe…

Roses & Chocolates

A lot of people have been commenting (not on social media though lol) that my husband is not as sweet as I often talk or write about. Their basis? He doesn’t give me flowers and chocolates out of the blue and even on special occasions. To which I always ask them “What made you think so?”.

I remember a close friend posting all the flowers, presents, and treats that her boyfriend personally…

I deactivated most of my social media accounts

I’m not sure if this actually matters to anyone reading my blog (do I still have readers? LOL). But yes, I did deactivate my blog’s social media accounts, well, most of them. I don’t know how to deactivate Twitter yet. lol. But the reason for that is simply I grew tired of people only coming in to skim my posts looking for a freebie or a giveaway. Although I enjoy sharing my blessings to my…

Greenfield Weekend Market

Late last month, I was given an exciting opportunity to visit the Greenfield Weekend Market with my husband Tim, and my good friend Kevin. It was a gastronomical experience, that Tim and I will surely remember for a great deal of time.

Personally, I remember going to Greenfield District almost every night a few years ago while I was still working in Ortigas. Since it was so difficult to hail a…

Phantom of the Opera Live

One of my biggest dreams is to see a live production of Les Miserables and Phantom of the Opera, and although I have passed by the chance to see Les Mis in 2016, I made sure that I didn’t miss Phantom. I am a lifelong theatre fan, and although Tim doesn’t share my love and interest for most of the arts, he still came along and watched Phantom with me.

Leading up to the show, Tim got curious…

How I Made My (Easy) Cold Brew Coffee

I am an avid coffee drinker since I was in the fourth grade. But I haven’t actually cared much about my coffee until I was in college when I learned about the glorious taste of brewed coffee. LOL Kidding aside, I have been drinking coffee for as long as I can remember, and though I am not an expert, I can be very keen on how my coffee taste like.

Over the years, I have also tried different…

Why I love my HyacinthMNL handbag

If you have been following me on social media, you might have seen my post about a cute native-looking handbag. I’m a huge fan of bags and honestly, when I saw this handbag from Hyacinth Manila I thought it was cool. Cooler than the round Bali bags that I see on my feed all the time. So I decided to check it out.

Turns out, there’s more to their bags than just looking pretty and classy.

Art Capital Cafe, Angono

With so much going on in our lives lately, mostly with work (lol) Tim and I found ourselves rotting at home for days on end. Don’t get me wrong, we love staying indoors as much as we love going out, but it has been months since we last went to Tanay to have breakfast, and it has been weeks since we ate out — yes, our late-night McDonald’s runs are not considered as quick dates lol.

We realized…

On a Life that Could Have Been

Lately, I have struggled so hard with some things in my married life. Mostly with my health and my journey to motherhood. I have written about this on my Facebook page and Instagram, this is just a longer version of my posts. LOL ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Okay, so some of you may not know about this but before Tim, I have been off a committed relationship for exactly four years. My last boyfriend wanted to have…

Sunflora Farm, Jala Jala

One of Tim and I’s biggest disappointments last year was not being able to visit the sunflower farm in Jala Jala after our Quezon trip. But last December, we finally had the chance to visit Sunflora Farm.

It was such a long drive. To think that we even started from Baras, Rizal, which is relatively closer to it (we live around an hour away from Baras), it was still a long drive. But as much…

Martessem, Tanay

I had a very complicated work schedule last December. For the first two weeks, I have to work from 1AM to 4AM which means I don’t get to sleep till like around 7AM. People are starting to think that it was a problem and that I’m working too hard, but Tim and I view this opportunity differently. We saw this as an opportunity to actually go on a quick ride to Tanay to have coffee in a sea of clouds…

Clash of Titos at Ground Zero

Okay, you can laugh at me for not knowing but I really didn’t know that age-restricted competition for video games actually exist. Not until my husband told me about a Counter-Strike competition for men 30 years above, that’s right — I didn’t know. LOL Apologies.

So Tim’s cousins and friends participated in the said event at Ground Zero, Xentro Mall, Antipololast December 1st. I might have…

My First Fiesta in Years

When I was much younger back in the late ’90s and early 2000s, I used to look forward to the town fiesta where my grandparents lived. I remember the games that we would play outside on the streets such as basag palayok (is that even right? lol) pasabit, and the paagaw. HAHA! I am so bad at remembering the names of the games, but you probably know what I am talking about. It was so much fun that I…

Happy New Year, 2019!

Hello, and welcome back to my blog. Welcome back to me as well lol. The last month of 2018 has been a huge challenge, and as you know (if you’re following me on Facebook), my dad passed away a week before Christmas. So much has happened since then that I decided to take a break on almost everything–including blogging and social media for over a month. I’m not completely back to posting stuff, I’m…

Kim Is Hungry Cafe, Angono

One of my favorite things in the world is coffee shops and I know about this coffee shop in Angono, Rizal. Kim Is Hungry Cafe is popular for its mouth-watering cake selection, in fact, I have been going there for years and I usually order birthday cakes from them.

So after Tim and I had lunch at Jay J’s in Valley Golf, I asked him to try Kim Is Hungry Cafe for the first time. He was a bit…

Jay J's, Valley Golf & Country Club

Jay J’s, Valley Golf & Country Club

For most of my young life, I’ve spent Sundays with my dad playing golf in Intramuros and my brother and I eating club sandwiches as we watched him from a few meters away. My brother and I even tried learning how to smack that little ball and make it land as far as we could, and although I never learned to swing well, still that was a huge part of my childhood.

During our wedding preparations,…
