MyParty. Finds. A Home.

Yes, my husband and I are self-confessed Mafia Wars addicts. We enjoy playing this Facebook game, particularly since we could play this against each other and not actually kill each other, haha! Besides, since my husband is not the Cafe World or Farmville kind of guy, and since we also both prefer PC games than [...]

Being in the Philippines, there’s no way anybody can make me whip up a homemade four-hour sans rival, especially since I can get yummy, ready-to-eat ones from my favorite coffee shop. Like this one, for example. Its a contemporary twist to the old cashew flavor – pistachio. Although this particular nut is said to be [...]

Somebody is celebrating her birthday soon! Somebody is going to have a couple of fab parties, lots of gifts, and yummy stuff to eat like cakes, pastas, chicken, and ice cream. And a particular someone is going to be stuck with lots of leftovers. Uh-oh. I’d better prepare my refrigerator now and start making some [...]

We celebrated my mom’s birthday at Gumbo at Robinson’s Place in Manila. No wrinkle creams needed for this young lady! Happy birthday mom! A must on our order list was the Seafood Jambalaya, mostly because the theme of the restaurant was “A Taste of New Orleans”, and a jambalaya is a signature dish from the [...]

Nothing beats Pinas barbecue, that much I can tell you. I’ve had all kinds of barbecues from every State we’ve lived in but, for me, Filipino-style is still the best. But since I’m not as brave about buying sticks of barbecues from the random lady down the street as I was years ago, I now [...]

Carbo loading because of these green beauties? Of course. That’s why I need to look into diet pill comparisons right now, haha! We went to visit the Shrine of Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage in Antipolo last weekend. Truthfully, there are two other things I make a pilgrimage to every time I go [...]

One of the things I like to do while waiting, aside from window shopping, is to spend some leisurely time snacking. Yes, and it’s no wonder I have gained a few pounds over the past few weeks. When you’re in the Philippines, there’s always something to snack on. The cream puffs at Beard Papa’s have [...]

We visited the local aquarium a few weeks back. We’ve been to lots of aquariums – big and small – but my daughter never seems to get tired of looking at fishes. In fact, every time we look at fishes, she always asks me if we could have our own aquarium at home (which isn’t [...]

Our Carvel Ice Cream Happy Trip Cake. Thank you to our dearest friends for the wonderful send-off. For sure, their best wishes for our happy and safe trip surpasses the services that any fulfillment company could deliver. We will surely miss them but I know it won’t take long before we see each other again. [...]

One of the things I appreciate about airports, particularly LAX is that they have charging stations for electronic devices. On this trip, our plane was delayed by four hours. Imagine if we hadn’t brought along my daughter’s Nintendo DSi, or had it run out of battery? She would have been cranky with a capital C [...]
