My Rocking Cradle

I am not too adventurous with skin care products so I have been mostly loyal to some products that I have been using for so long. One of them is the Neutrogena Skin Clearing Toner. Unfortunately, I don’t see this toner in most supermarkets unless I go to the big ones like Emart or Homeplus. [...]

I want to enjoy the good weather while it’s here. Pretty soon, the cold chill might make us stay indoors most of the time. So, I asked hubby to have a bottle of beer over chicken and sausages around the corner. And we did! But with boys whose idea of dinner is always having rice [...]

Traditional Korean restaurants make use of either built-in grills or portable stoves for barbecues. My personal, eternal favorite is the popular samgyeopsal. Anyway, most traditional restaurants have exhaust installed on each table – that long tube hanging from above your table which could be lowered down when you are grilling and the smoke is at [...]

McDonalds opened another branch here in Trapalace today. All the ajummas here in our place had been waiting for this opening day since it started renovating the space at the ground floor of the officetel. True enough, we found ourselves, the ajummas, in McDonalds right after our kids came home from school. Most hubbies, mine [...]

Just when I thought the boys were all right, Firstborn got a fever and had to skip class today. Last night, and the nights before that, I had been sleeping for less than 3 hours a day because of a new-found “career”… writing for a number of employers. Instead of posting my articles here in [...]

Hubby left for Dubai ten days ago and went directly to Indonesia for his never-ending business trips. Kiddos and I miss him already but thanks to Skype we remain connected. We see and hear him everyday. He hears and sees the kiddos laugh, cry and move around. Of course, this isn’t new. He’s gone every [...]

Book courtesy of Book Sneeze Having read Jack Welch’s Jack Straight From the Gut, I had high expectations for this book.
