Wifely Steps

01. I love anchovies. 02. I LOVE Sinigang na Baboy with patis, calamansi and sili as a dipping sauce. And rice. 03. I prefer working behind the scenes than being in the spotlight (not very Leo-like). 04. I carry a pen and notebook with me everywhere I go. 05. In one of the notebook pages [...]

“Trick or treat! Trick or treat! Give me something good to eat!” Or was it “something sweet to eat”? Hmmm. I’m not sure. Enjoy the pics below. Have a great Halloween! (Mouse over to see descriptions!) Happy Halloween!

I’m a sucker for a good love story. Here’s one that I thought was really sweet: Kebab and Intrigue on the Net. It is a blog that carries e-mail exchanges between a certain Doris and a Mr. Doris. You’ll see how their romance developed as you read one e-mail, then the reply, then the e-mail [...]

There were icky marks on my stove, on my kitchen counter and on my kitchen floor. No matter how much I would try wiping it off with soap and water, the stuff just wouldn’t come off. Or if they would come off, it took a lot of huffing and puffing before they would disappear. Last [...]

When I was a kid, I would always notice a can full of biscuits at home. Being the curious cat that I am, I’d try every piece. Some where weird-tasting, others were yummy.

Keeping my weight down is a daily struggle. While I’ve become a master in managing expectations, I still haven’t mastered the art of self-control. What do I mean? If I finish a pack of Maltesers, I’d have to wear black the next day. If I eat spaghetti for dinner, I can’t wear a sleeveless top [...]

Sometimes I can’t make up my mind as fast as I want to. Good thing H is ten times more patient than I am and has gotten used to my little quirks. Is this a girl thing? Hmmm. P.S. I made that comic strip. Strip Generator rocks!

Me, Mec and CG I consider myself fortunate with the friendships I’ve formed through blogging. Two of the nicest people I’ve met are Mec and CG. Since CG was in Manila, it went unsaid that we just had to meet up and have dinner together. The three of us clicked right away. Great conversation over [...]

I cannot begin to define the love I have for my parents. I will give it a try. My parents are not perfect. They don’t have a perfect marriage, perfect careers, perfect personalities but to me their differences compliment each other, they have made the best career choices for themselves — growing within their careers [...]
