Charice’s Performance in Realize The Dream

One of the pre-inaugural balls for President Obama was the event titled “Realize the Dream”, which also served to commemorate the life of Martin Luther King, Jr. The significance of the event brings goosebumps! Obama is the realization of that dream? And Charice Pempengco sang… and received a standing ovation. God Bless America for appreciating our [...]

Global Crisis Woes

I was in the Philippine Embassy in Itaewon last Sunday to apply for the renewal of my passport. The place was filled with people. How do I illustrate how full it was? I arrived there at 10am and left the place at 2pm. Aside from the slow processing, the place was really crowded. Sunday is [...]

I was changing my clothes this afternoon as my son and I were going to the playroom. While playing on the floor in my dressing room, my son looked up and said: “Mommy sesy” and grinned knowing that he said something very nice. My son is my biggest fan and I am sexy in his [...]

“Stop Angry”

Who doesn’t feel bad after getting angry with your toddler? No matter where the fault lies or whether there is actually any fault, I feel bad after showing my anger to my son. It is the uncontrollable anger which leaves me so guilty after. I would always hug and cuddle my two-year old after my [...]

When Eating At Home Is Better Than Dining Out

I am the most insecure wife in the kitchen. But I am comfortable with my insecurity:-) Does that actually make sense? LOL. Yesterday was a rare Saturday when I spent the entire afternoon preparing food for my boys. Inspired by my new electric mixer, I went on to bake Lemon Loaf. I was preparing the [...]

All-White

Seoul is covered with snow. Drowsily waking up from lack of sleep, my husband and I were met with snow-covered buildings around us. It’s snowing! Since we only came back last January 6, this is our first snow for the year. Yesterday, I was talking to my Little Dynamo and I was telling him that [...]

Greenhills Post Christmas Shopping

When we arrived in Manila last January 4, we passed by the Greenhills Shopping Complex teeming with people. It still displays its annual christmas show which can be viewed by the shoppers for free. It’s also a good distraction for children. Since Beth, my mother’s trusted day companion in Iloilo whom I borrowed for two weeks to [...]
