My Rocking Cradle

Christmas is a very big and long celebration in the Philippines. This is what most of us Pinoys here in South Korea misses. This year, we have to thank the Pinoy Iskolars ng Bayan through their organization, PIKO, for bringing the spirit over by sponsoring a “Himig Pasko Tinig Pinoy” event on December 4, 2011. [...]

I got a new concealer and eye primer. Without this, my eyebags would appear bigger and more swollen. The funny thing is, it still looks big, hahaha, but definitely better than without it. What I love about this Iope concealer is I have both the concealer and primer in one stick: I’m supposed to apply [...]

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Straight Talk. All opinions are 100% mine. I have to feel The power of Android phones in my hand but at the same time I have to make sure that I am paying wisely so it is just perfect to consider the $45 per month [...]

Here’s another addition to our Coffee addiction collection:  Ahhhh… it looks so regal. And it served its purpose on the night it arrived. Hubby and I immediately got our Kenya AA coffee beans and readied it for manual grinding:   Hubby was so excited to see and to smell our very own manually grounded coffee that we alternately [...]

Since Second-born discovered his love for Lightning McQueen, there was not a day when he would not insist to watch Cars. Even the hand-me downs shirt and pajama set with Lightning McQueen designs from his older brother were not spared. Each time he sees them, he would cry until I allow him to wear those. [...]

The only thing I asked hubby when he went back home last weekend was a set of lip gloss as long as it’s not L’Oreal. Love what he bought: These are just mini lip glosses and the pack gives me 10 shades. New fave! They don’t come out too sticky when applied. I especially dislike the [...]

I contemplated between Clinique and Laneige in a previous post for my eye cream. I got neither hehehe. I allowed myself to be convinced to buy this Hanyul Hydrapeak eye cream: It’s an herbal brand of the Amore Pacific Group which is also the maker of Iope and Laneige. This one is a 30ml bottle [...]

As hubby and I are both coffee drinkers and I have been greatly influenced with his love for it, we spend weekends in a coffeeshop talking, reading or writing while the kiddos are sleeping in their strollers. We decided to try out O’Fete’s Kenya AA drip coffee one weekend: I was quite disappointed with the [...]

Reading Frank McCourt was a humbling experience. I will surely not look at the kids on the streets, the kids with tattered clothes on, the kids with no shoes on, and even the most filthy kids around in the same way again. Through Angela’s Ashes, Frank McCourt recounted his miserable childhood in Limerick, Ireland. A [...]

I didn’t know I was talking to Im Sang-soo, a Korean film-maker last week.  After a talk with him, I asked a lady who was I talking to and she smiled and said “You were talking to Im Sang-soo. He is a popular film-maker here in Korea. His films were shown in festivals abroad like Cannes [...]
