MyParty. Finds. A Home.

A friend of mine and I were chatting a while ago and our topic inevitably led to ‘flowers’. Specifically, we were comparing notes if our husbands took the time to give or send us flowers during special occasions. After much thought, I finally recalled that the last time my husband gave me flowers was on [...]

This is the Navajo Lake in Utah. It’s one of the more breathtaking lake sceneries I’ve seen in a long time. My family and I love to drive long-distances to new places we haven’t been to before, especially during long weekends when there’s a lot of time to explore. I’ve been looking into some affordable [...]

Last weekend was Father’s Day, and we always celebrate Father’s Day by eating out wherever “the Dad” says he wants to eat. For this year’s choice, “the Dad” was in the mood for some good ole texan barbecue. We ended up having lunch at Rudy’s Country Store and BBQ. The Dad had their fabulous beef [...]

My family and I are currently billeted in a hotel as we wait for our apartment to be readied. This, therefore have translated to “no home cooked food” for the past two weeks. However, we, particularly my daughter who has had only authentic home-cooked Filipino food for the past seven months, still crave for – [...]

Or Pork, if you were me (who does not eat beef). Here’s what I had the other night, after attending my daughter’s year-end exhibit. (I am one proud mama, I’m telling you. ) So, since I’ve always wanted to try their sizzling menu but was too wary of coming out of the restaurant smelling like [...]

We always pass by Panciteria San Jacinto in Pasig on our way home, and the always-full parking lot never fails to intrigue us every time. So for Tatay’s birthday, we finally parked alongside the many cars on their lot and had Binondo-style Cantonese cooking with a twist – the ambiance of the restaurant itself is [...]

My family and I have been making Tagaytay our weekend getaway place. I can’t tell you how many times we’ve been there in the past months that we’ve been here in the Philippines. You can just imagine what our auto insurance quotes would be like when the agent sees our odometer. We love it there [...]

Happy New Year! New year, new posts. But first, let me share with you what exploded in front of our home. This fearless cuteness! At first, I thought that the fireworks would scare her to bits but it turned out that she’s a brave as she can be! She really enjoyed the mini-fireworks show that [...]

My girl turned six last week. I got this cake for her on the 26th, which is her exact birthday. After this, I got her two more cakes – one for her small celebration in school and another for her big party celebration. So all in all, we had three cakes stuck in the refrigerator, [...]

On our trip to St. Augustine, FL, we had lunch at OC White’s. Operating since 1790, the house where the restaurant now sits, served as one of the first hotels in St. Augustine, which is the US’s oldest city. For our lunch, my daughter had her usual – a “white” pasta or, in this case, [...]
