We live in a house that has an old-fashioned fuse box, not the circuit breaker type. For a couple of days, about two weeks ago, our electricity started to turn on and off every few hours. When we went home to Laguna to vote and stayed there overnight, we forgot about it. The night we came back, the blasted problem escalated....

I have just discovered a new way to cool down this summer! This afternoon, my eldest son and I went to Alabang Town Center where a writer-friend and I interviewed the owners of Kool Shaves. I got to sample the Mango Blast flavor, Leland chose Glacier Coffee while Maan tried Polar Milk. All three of us agreed that those...

My birthday always either fall near, or on, Mothers' Day itself. This year is no different. I don't desire any big shindigs. All I want is to have my family with me when I celebrate another year of blessings. Last night, I texted hubby to buy me a pre-birthday pizza. He came home bearing a box from Yellow Cab and a couple...

I have been a World Vision sponsor and staunch supporter for several years now and I can vouch that it is one of the most worthwhile organizations to send help to. Please take this opportunity to make Mothers' Day special for your mom and, the process, help poor Filipino kids and their families. If you want to do more,...

Yesterday, the kids and I watched a special screening of Iron Man 2 at the Podium. One of my sons was assigned to write a review about it for Manila Bulletin's Funpage section. I find this sequel more action packed than the first one. Iron Man 2 is also filled with more special effects that sometimes left our mouths...

My kids, particularly my youngest son, always enjoy visiting the Nido Fortified Science Discovery Center (NFSDC) at the Mall of Asia. There usually seems to be something new each time we go there.
