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 [...]

Mommy Adventures: Parent Material

With all my heart and mind, I am very certain that Chef and I are not yet in the position to become parents. Sure, Captain Awesome seems to think we’re ready, but that’s because I bought him everything he asked for when we went to the store. But really, what makes a woman mommy-material? When [...]

Missing Noisy Halls

And this week came and went. I have been absent this week because the preparations for our house blessing amidst work and having an 8-year old boy in the house actually takes time, which I first thought I could just wing it. This week, we finally completely unpacked from our move 3 months ago; we’ve [...]

Moving Posts: Wise Words from our VP

I posted this last year on my personal blog and it’s always inspirational. We have the best leaders at work – well, more like best executives because where the level is a bit lower, some of the leaders we have are mediocre, as with any other company. This was a message from our former VP [...]

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 [...]

Taking the Kitchen Challenge and Then Some

This initiative did not start with the desire to learn how to cook. It’s really not a Julie & Julia kind of thing of honing your skills. It’s not about the fact that homemakers must know her way in the kitchen (but I still agree). This goal started with the house rule that whoever doesn’t [...]

Kindness

I found it really hard to follow Ms C’s Captain Awesome post. It was just so touching and although Captain Awesome is so much more than the summary my sister has shared, it was enough to paint a picture of how awesome this kid really is. Captain Awesome’s kindness is innate. It is just beyond [...]

First Time Home-Buying: The Closing and The Keys

I should be almost done with my first time home-buying posts. The title should signify that. I’ll probably still post about the moving though because in that post, I can get nostalgic. Today, I just put away all my homeowner’s documents away, all the documents that I received from that Escrow lady when we signed. [...]

Loyalty

This may be a tad bit serious than my normal post, because now, I’m writing about my beliefs. This week’s theme for me has been quite centered around loyalty. I believe loyalty is one of those big words that come in small packages. I have tweeted that I am a Virgo, and I am extremely [...]

Homesick

There is so much about moving to a different country than just getting yourself familiar with your surroundings and getting homesick. There is a lot more about it when the sudden change of scenario shows no resemblance at all of the things that you are used to. I grew up in one of the metro [...]
