25 Ways to Wear a Scarf
See, one of my New Year’s Resolutions is to finish work before the Captain Awesome and Little HRH are home from school. That means, I should not be blogging at this hour. But, my blogger friend, Ces, shared this video of 25 Ways to Wear a Scarf last night and I find it really, uhm, [...]
What’s Up, Alberta?
I have to admit, I just finished reading all about Ms B’s trip to Canada last summer, and it reminded me of my friend from Alberta, Apple, whom I was able to catch up with last year during her quick vacation in California. It had been 14 years since we last saw each other. Needless [...]
Letting the Stars Align vs Perseverance
I certainly have no excuse for not blogging now with my MB Air that’s so easy to bring to cafés. Or, just in bed. Anyway, I’ve always felt that if the keyboard is inviting, my fingers will just find its way to it, and you know what, that is so true. I guess these little [...]
Impromptu SoCal Trip
I think most of my friends back in the Philippines will agree when I say lastminuteholidays have better chances of pushing through than those that have been planned for months. Now that I think about it, most of the out-of-town trips Um and I have taken are spur-of-the-moment trips. I have repeatedly said in this [...]
Music and Lyrics: Mating Game by Bitter:Sweet
Whoa! It’s been so long! Thanks to Ms. C for posting on the blog while I took a month or so long hiatus. Though, I must say, I’m going through this weird phase again in my life that is not totally unfamiliar – quite the contrary, it’s super familiar that it’s really been troubling me. [...]
Music and Lyrics: Tennessee Waltz – Patti Page
Happy, happy birthday to the Captain of all captains of awesomeness. He would have been 85 today. Three months has passed and we are all still trying to recover. Recovery is especially harder when another grandfather, Faja’s dad this time, followed suit before the year ended. With all these talks about the world ending in [...]
Getting Ready for Snowboarding Season
Four years ago, my trainers at work taught me how to snowboard. A few years before that, Chef attempted to learn snowboarding. He broke his shoulder, and was horrified since. But when my trainers taught me, which included a lesson for Chef, it was only because he learned the wrong and hard way the first [...]
Festivities Aren’t Cheap
Recently, I shared on a recent post how excited I am this season as Chef and I are hosting our first Thanksgiving dinner, and the coming noche buena. This week, I took an extra day off to shop for what we need – the food, the tools, and the entertainment (and even a little something [...]
Holidays are Coming!!
There is no doubt in my mind that this is my favorite time of the year. The holidays are upon us and no, this isn’t my favorite just because of the gifts. What the holidays mean to me is family as I’m sure it does to you too. For Chef and I, what’s extra special [...]
Music and Lyrics: You Know the Way to Go – Right the Stars
A friend once said, Grey’s Anatomy makes her feel either very inspired or depressed. That’s exactly what I feel about the show. But whether it is inspiration or pain that you feel, you’re addicted. You just can’t get enough. Aside from the incredible storyline that they come up every week of mind blowing surgical cases, [...]
Political Swings
I will be the first to admit that I am not the most political person nor am I the biggest American history buff. But I would say that I exert effort to educate myself on social situations especially now that I have the right to vote. But after living here in the States for 6 [...]
