Until now, I still can’t get the experience out of my mind. The crab claws were tender, naturally sweet, and [...]

Ang alon ng maling pagmamahal
Ang s’yang kalaban n’yang mortal,
Kapag dalampasiga’y nahagkan
Ang kastilyo ay nabubuwal.

Wrote his name next to mine big and deep there in the sand
Till the earth tends to flow and our names will be drowned
All the birds sing harmonies to the top line of the breeze
While the ocean breathes his name on whispering [...]

Tin Drum Asia Cafe has become one of my and hubby’s favorite places to eat out here in our area. The food choices are simple but flavorful, service is fast and no-fuss, and the servings are huge.
My favorite is this one:

It wasn’t until I got married and started a family that I begun to think about my financial goals. There are so many things to consider like being able to afford our very first home, college funds for the kids, bills, savings, and, of course, retirement. We are a single-income family so there’s a lot [...]

Our apartment community put together a nice afternoon food tasting event today. I purposely didn’t cook any lunch because I purposely wanted to stuff myself silly with all the free samples that would be offered by the participating restaurants in and around our neighborhood.
The details of the food tasting event deserve a separate blog entry [...]

I am not one for camouflage. My husband knows it. As I always tell him (especially when he’s about to don one of his many cargo camouflage pants) that its better to leave the camos with the army guys. Besides, even with his camos on, I can still [...]
