On the Loose: @ideeli Christmas Shopping

It’s been a while since we did an On the Loose post. Not that we haven’t done any shopping. On the contrary, I think I have reached my [self-imposed] quota for 2011. Now, before you play the world’s smallest violins for me, 2012 is just a few days away. I’ll be resetting my shopping count [...]

On The Loose: My Trips to West Elm & Ikea

On the East Bay, across the Bay Bridge from San Francisco, is a little town called Emeryville. I don’t know much about the town except that just by the freeway is a shopping center called Bay Street. Shops such as Apple and Sephora are here, as well as many restaurants. But for me, there’s a [...]

Guilty Pleasure: Hey, Jealousy!

Not that irrational, high-school-ish kind of thing from a partner, OK?. That’s just plain annoying. I gotta say, lucked out for marrying a man that is nothing like the jealous type. What I’m talking about here is the one that my darling, Little HRH, shows whenever another child gets drawn to me — and, boy, [...]

Guilty Pleasure: @ZacharyLevi

I did not watch a lot of TV when I was in the Philippines. Not that I did not want to relax and submit myself to the universal favorite pastime of couch potato-ing, I just did not have the time to. Because of this, I have not heard of Zachary Levi before Chuck. I actually [...]

Guilty Pleasure: iCarly

Parents usually know all these shows on Nickelodeon, Disney Channel, Cartoon Network and whatever networks that cater to kids because they watch these shows with their children. Every now and then, though, there are kiddie shows that attract adults – even those without children! I believe this is not limited to TV shows, too. I [...]

Blinks: Frozen Milk + Cream + Sugar

photo: Ms C taken: December 2008, Manila, Philippines It’s a tradition we, strangebyday and I, have: to shop for Christmas gifts together before all the holiday party, lunch/dinner or whatever invitations come pouring. In the process, we try out new restaurants in the mall. Five Cows is a semi hole-in-the-wall kind of dining place located [...]

Blinks: Good Company

I miss going out for a drink for no reason. Hours of conversations about life, art, music, culture’s glory and disappointments, the inane and [...]

On the Loose: Downtown SF

Ooooohhhhh…yesterday was definitely a nondomesticated day. I let the finest inadvertently domesticated diva in me roam free around Downtown San Francisco the entire afternoon. I set a date with my cousin, Patticakes, last week for a shopping day in the city and I am so glad that it materialized. My body is aching all over [...]

Of Fan Girls and Twin Souls

Okay. Today’s blog activity is just too overwhelming that I couldn’t find myself to write decently. I started on something about work, but Ms B IM-ed me about not having posted anything mommy-ish in a while. So, I browsed through some photos of Captain Awesome and Little Princess for inspiration. While doing this, my twin [...]
