MyParty. Finds. A Home.

You can’t visit Atlanta and not drop by The Varsity. The hotdogs aren’t really all that (sorry Mr. Gordy!) but, you can’t beat the experience of driving-in at the world’s largest drive-in restaurant. What’ll ya have! What’ll ya have! Aside from it’s size, you might ask what other things make The Varsity special? Well, two [...]

There are five gadgets that I learned to absolutely depend on and love after I got married. And mostly, that’s because of my husband’s influence. I am not techie by nature – prenuptial, I was completely happy with a dependable cameraphone (which I would use to extinction), a basic greenhills-assembled desktop, and a working car [...]

It is not a secret among everyone who knows me that, before I got married, I couldn’t even boil water. Yes, I was pretty spoiled by the kapampangan matriarchs in my family who ruled over our kitchen. Anyway, that all changed when I got married. It was either I learned how to cook, or we [...]

No matter how yummy my ancestral recipe for adobo is, he still prefers his mother’s recipe. He will not eat canned sardines, if he can help it. According to him, it brings back memories of the days when sardinas was a luxury ulam for his family. He likes his ginisang munggo with a pinch (or [...]

Sliced Bread. They say its the best invention, ever. When I was growing up, sliced bread had a different name – pan. Others called it “tasty”. What did you call it? Here at home, like sliced american cheese and sliced cold cuts, we are never without sliced bread – at least the whole wheat kind. [...]

Last Tuesday, I spoke about the couples whose marriage I admired. For FabFinds Thursday, hands down, I would still include in this list of the couples whose fashion sense I admire, one of the couples I mentioned there. They are just the total package for me. Barack and Michelle Obama I admire their simple but [...]

One of the things I’ve always wanted to do – that is, if I had a lot of money – is to travel using old-style trunks. I just find them so classy! I know, the airlines would probably charge me extra for the irregular shapes or sizes of my trunks but, that’s why I think [...]

I was searching the web for a nice shoulder bag for spring when I came across Qara, an Argentinian maker of five-star leather goods. Almost instantly, their Qara Mia Hobo tickled my fancy. This simply elegant hobo looks roomy, stylish, and, with its soft top-grain leather, looks very well-made. I only wish I could see [...]

As the name implies, (most of ) these bags are made from 100% recycled seatbelts. My friend got one recently and, wow, so cute! I wonder how many cars, buses, rvs, and airplanes they used to make their products. These earth-friendly bags start at a pocket-friendly price of $90. Available online from Harvey’s and Zappos.

Nang matapos na’ng lahat, ako’y nahirapan Nalaman ko na ikaw ang tanging kailangan, Pinag-iisipang husto sa naiibang mundo Kay hirap nang wala sa piling mo. At hindi nagbabago ang gusto ng puso ko Wala nang hahanapin pa kundi pag-ibig mo, May hiwagang natanto mula sa una pang tagpo Mananatili ‘to at hindi magbabago. It’s now [...]
