Just to get the guesswork out of the way, whenever I have a craving for (almost) authentic pho, my destination would (most likely always) be Pho Hoa. With branches all over the US (and the world, too) there’s guaranteed to be one in my area. After a salon trip with my girls last Friday, Pho [...]

Pho Hoa
Golden
Golden nuggets, golden fries, golden transfat, and golden heartburn from the golden arches. If I eat this everyday, I don’t think I’ll ever reach fifty golden years. Not a very happy meal, I guess, hehe. (PS. I’m very sorry for the lighting. I was hoping for a 24-karat golden effect but probably just achieved 18-karats, [...]

Moms’ Real Spa Treats
I love the spa! But, in the five years since I’ve become a mom, I realized that I can count the number of times I’ve been to an actual spa on my fingers…of my one hand! However, thanks to this cute little comic strip from Weng I now know I didn’t actually miss much. Eyebrow [...]
Ginto (Gold)
Pag-ibig na sing-init ng tag-araw Suminag sa puso ko at pumukaw Parang apoy na lubhang pumapaso Init na nadarama ng buong-buo Gayon man ay di ako nagsisisi Salamat sa natikman kong pagtalik Walang kasing ganda ang naaalala Ginintuang pag-ibig sa tag-araw ~~~ Always believe in your soul you’ve got the power to know you’re indestructable [...]

Make-Up Essentials
Che asked me for a list of my Makeup Essentials. Thanks sis! The thing is, compared to what I’ve been using as a free and single party girl, my makeup kit’s contents now are pretty basic. In truth, I don’t fuss about makeup as much as I did back then. Here’s a peek at what [...]
Cheeseburger In Paradise

Their mini-burgers (and fries!) created a great impression on me that I just had to drag my hubby there again for another (and not-so-mini) meal in paradise. This time, I made sure I ordered the [...]
