Vertigo!!!

No, not that cool U2 song. I had my first vertigo experience when I was, maybe, 9. The first time I felt it was when one of the neighborhood kids accidentally knocked me off-balance. I felt like the world suddenly started spinning so fast. I thought it was an isolated case. I was still able [...]

Moving Posts: House Rules

I am moving this post from my old blog and I realized now, 14 months after our engagement, almost 5 months after our church wedding, we have fallen quite short of these house rules. Chef and I have disagreements, as a lot of couples out there. The degree of my temper can go as high [...]

Taste Buds: Ham & Egg Panini with Gorgonzola Cheese

I’ve been spending too much time in the kitchen but not enough time at the gym. Oh well right. At least I am making progress on one of my challenges. This one, though, is not my creation. So, I spent time in the kitchen with Chef, mainly washing the dishes though. We haven’t taken out [...]

That’s REPRESENTATIVE Manny Pacquiao to You!

So, he won. The 7 world title holder wins another match. This time, though, the match didn’t take place in the ring. It took a local dj for me to find out. It was almost 5 when we heard these two dj’s talking about this boxer who has brought so much pride to Filipinos around [...]

Mother’s Day

First of all, I don’t mean to be a douche. I practically skipped Mother’s Day in the Philippines and did not get to greet family and friends over there until today, which is already a Monday over there. I had a 5-hour lunch with a grade school friend at Tannourine, a Mediterranean restaurant, and tried [...]

Taste Buds: Roasted Chicken Wings with Lemon and Garlic

I really want to do my “bwahaha”! Seriously, you have no idea how this is such an accomplishment for me! I set my mind in cooking something a couple of weeks ago when I purchased the magazine I mentioned in my kitchen challenge post. Then, one morning, as I was preparing my breakfast on my [...]

The 2010 Philippine Elections

Allow me to be “political” for a minute. No, I’m not going to endorse anyone on this post. Although, the people who follow me on Twitter and are on my Facebook already know who I’m rooting for to become the next President of my motherland for the next six years. It’s not moot. Just because [...]

Le Critique: Homemaker’s Toys: LG Washer/Dryer

Lovely ladies, allow me to be a homemaker a bit, because believe me, I wish I could have read something like this when we were shopping for our major appliances. I hate doing laundry. And, I’m bad at it. As a lot of people from the Philippines, I did not bother about laundry because in [...]

Love to All the Mommies From Mommy C

And so we welcome the merry month of May. It was hot outside, somewhere in the high 80’s. It’s the kind of weather you’d love to have when you’re building sandcastles or throwing Frisbees. Mother’s Day is just around the corner. I guess it goes without saying that I’m feeling crappy as Sunday approaches. How [...]
