I had so much fun watching Ambient Media's Show Tickler last night. All the performances were superb. Each featured artist or group showed audiences what to expect in their individual concerts/events to be held later this year.
I'll post a longer review later. But for now, enjoy this video of Aiza Seguerra singing her...

I use two mobile phones with two different sim cards. I prefer to call/text contacts using the same network provider as much as possible because it's more economical that way. Lately, I've been having trouble (again) with one of my phone's navi key. I guess the phone's age is catching up with it and having it repaired...

Last May, a friend of mine in the U.S. sent me his copy of the Iron Man 2 book after he found out how much I loved watching the movie (particularly Robert Downey Jr. :p). Due to my very busy schedule, I only got to start reading it a couple of weeks ago. I enjoyed the book in the sense that I was able to understand a...

Like many parents who are raising kids in this high-technology era, I am very much concerned about what my children are getting from playing game consoles and going online. In fact, our PC at home can only be opened by my husband or myself using a password upon boot-up. This assures me that when both of us are not at home,...

I am a staunch advocate of the green movement. My husband and I believe in the importance of living an eco-friendly life and leaving as few carbon footprints as we can. We have large canvas bags for grocery shopping, six garbage cans in the kitchen for segregating our trash, two sacks under the kitchen sink for separating...
All my kids are no longer babies and toddlers but my third son has cerebral palsy and don't walk nor talk. He is already 12 years old but is still a baby in many ways. He's the one I can still use baby cologne on or massage with baby powder and will not protest he is no longer a little child :)
Like many little ones,...

I was supposed to blog about this yesterday. Unfortunately, Typhoon Basyang wreaked havoc on my online schedule by leaving our area without electricity for more than 24 hours. No electricity also meant no dial tone (go figure, PLDT has not been acting on our complaints since Typhoon Milenyo in 2006!) and no internet access....

Last night, we celebrated my second son's 15th birthday. Wow, where did the time go?!
To celebrate, I dropped by Pizza Hut on my way home and bought the Pair Deal which only costs P399 for two pizzas. I also availed of the BPI treats using my grocery transaction receipts and chose two pasta dishes plus one Caesar salad...

My sister called me around noon yesterday. She said they have extra tickets to the Cecile Licad and FILharmoniKa’s concert last night. I didn’t have to think twice. I have heard FILharmoniKa before and love that orchestra. But I especially wanted to hear Cecile Licad play live. My eldest son, who is taking piano lessons,...
