I have always loved UP Los Banos. I have so many fond memories of that place back when I was still in high school, during my college days, and even the two years hubby and I spent living there when we still had only two kids. Funny how many of our activities always end up at the UPLB field. Yesterday, my sister and...

This blog is already a bit late but I decided to post it anyway in case some of you who live in or near Batangas City might be looking for a place to unwind with your families :) Last June 9, a couple of friends and I went to Batangas City to pay our respects to a common friend's mom who passed away. The funny thing is,...

It was our first time to try out the burgers that some of our friends have been raving about. Hubby and I decided to check out Brothers Burgers' 50% off promo at Westgate, Alabang last night.

A good friend and I planned to drop by the Manila Food and Beverage Expo (MAFBEX) yesterday and we were glad we did!

I felt all the...

I used to read different kinds of children's books while I was growing up. I could finish one volume of Nancy Drew, Bobbsey Twins, Hardy Boys, or the Dana Girls in one day.
