where I blog about the fun things I do to entertain myself…

moving again?

The downside of renting a house is that you’ll never know when the owner would decide to end your stay. Our contract expires next month, and we’ve been told that the landlady has no plans of renewing our contract. Nothing is definite yet until hubby talks with her and clarifies the issue. But if it [...]


kids at home

The usual silent atmosphere of the house has been replaced with the noisy and lively chatter of the kids we have at home – my nieces and nephews who are currently on vacation. Aside from playing, they also enjoy watching movies. Just recently, my sister-in-law brought home two movies (Boltz and Madagascar 2) and the [...]


two days before Christmas

Oi! It’s two days before Christmas but we’re already starting the celebration (with eating and eating and eating)! A celebration seem not to be complete without a feast, right? And the star of the table was the roasted pig better known as lechon. But even with the sumptuous food laid on the table, I’m still [...]


busy handyman

The handyman in our house is super busy these days. His current project is making a door to close the access to our old kitchen. Last week he already bought a knob and this week, the door might be ready for painting. Then today he fixed the dripping faucet that can’t be closed properly which [...]


euphorbias in the garden

The euphorbias in our garden are blossoming abundantly.  It was time to snap pictures of their beauty! And yes, it only goes to show that I’m keeping my plants regardless of the rumor about them causing cancer. How can these beauties cause cancer anyway?  The thought still baffles me.


career in marketing

Few days ago, I met up with my college friends after a long time of having not seen each other. We spent a lot of time talking and sharing about our lives. It’s nice to know that most are successful in their chosen careers and also in their family life but one friend with a [...]


crazy superstitious beliefs

Okay this is just a follow up to my previous post regarding some beliefs about euphorbias causing cancer. What can you say about this kind of thinking? And what about those old wives’ tales or superstitious beliefs that range from just plain weird to funny and amusing? For example, we met an acquaintance at the [...]


can euphorbia plants cause cancer?

- Just want to know about euphorbia, there is a rumor in our place, that euphorbia causes cancer, how people can get cancer on it? In our place some of the people already destroyed destroy their plants, even my cousin who spent money to bought buy it, he burnt it. For me “sayang”. I have [...]


brrrr cold!

Too cold! It’s not even winter yet and here I am complaining of the temperature already. It would be nice to head on to a sunny place, wear our swimsuits and take a splash on the blue waters. Isn’t it? Well, summer has just left and it’s still 4-5 months till I can experience warm [...]


on cooking and leftovers

Cooking for two is really tricky. I’m used to cooking for many persons, but since I got married, I still have to master cooking for hubby and I without wasting any food. You see, my hubby’s appetite is unpredictable. There are times that he can devour the food like a hungry lion and there are [...]
