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

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, [...]


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 [...]


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 market [...]

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 [...]


and then it’s christmas!

So last night I had a nice and quiet time. Half of it though was spent cooking my dinner, eating and washing the dishes. The rest of the time was checking if I have pending tasks and then I was off to watching documentaries. Time really flew by very fast. I was a bit surprised [...]


silly letter to myself

Dear ME,
Yehey! It’s the middle of the week and I’m entitled for a break! The house is all mine! I can do anything I want. Sleep, eat, sleep, eat, watch DVDs, listen to music, dance with the music, sing with the music, sleep while the music plays. The possibilities are endless. [...]
