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 [...]

Taste Buds: <s>Lechon Liempo</s> Pork Tapa with Bagoong

Um and I have been skimming the pages of the Yummy Filipino Favorites recipe book that my MIL sent since we got it, but never really cooked anything from it until a week or so ago. Um saw the bagoong (shrimp paste) that I bought from the Filipino store when my parents were over for a [...]

Taste Buds: Pizza Bagels

I am constantly on the lookout for easy recipes that I can prepare for my family. Since moving to the east coast, I have been cooking and baking more than I have ever had in my entire life. I have said so many times that I am not so good in the kitchen. But I [...]

Mommy Adventures + IMHO: Rewards

I do not remember when fast food really started to disgust me. Captain Awesome and Little HRH are probably two of the very few kids who do not have a collection of Happy Meal or other kiddie meal toys. When we take them out, we eat at real restaurants. But there is no need to play [...]

Music and Lyrics: Lose Yourself – Eminem

This is one of the songs that just gets me all pumped up. Inspiring, in a way. It makes me get out of bed in an instant, shake off inertia and do something – ANYTHING – decisive, creative and productive… sometimes to the extent that will change the course of my life. Say what you [...]

What’s Up, Alberta?

Mommy Adventures: Health Care Providers

We are settling in pretty well in our new environment. School has started after the holiday weekend, and we have met some new people that we could potentially build relationships with. Aside from the unpacking, there are still so many things that Um and I have to take care of. We humbly thank God everyday for giving [...]

Music and Lyrics: I Want You Back

It’s been four days since Victorious: Locked Up premiered on Nickelodeon, but I still can’t stop singing this classic that the uber talented cast of the show performed. I guess I have my Little HRH to thank for that. Looks like there are no high quality versions of this clip available right now, but this will do [...]

Mommy Adventures: Packing for Four

There was a time when, believe it or not, I actually loved packing. Perhaps, it was the promise of adventure that came with it that got me into the activity. The fact that we had our ever reliable Manang Virgie to take care of the unpacking after the trip was always a pleasure. In fact, I [...]

Mommy Adventures: Staycation

So, we have survived another school year. It is summer, alright, but I will have to keep daydreaming about those cheap ayia napa holidays for now. Um and I have a full plate of [migraine-inducing] things to do for the next couple of weeks that we need all the resources – time, money and energy – [...]
