Wifely Steps

When we were kids, my cousins and I would pick gumamela leaves from our grandparents’ backyard and mash them with a stone. We’d mix them in a little pail with some detergent and water. Why gumamela leaves? I think it was to make the bubbles last longer.
Then we’d take a stalk from the kamias tree, [...]

We are all storytellers. We create stories even when the only audience we have is ourselves.
That thought entered my mind while I was walking down a tree-lined street along Makati. Hmmm, I wondered. Isn’t it interesting that we are quick to form stories in our head when we see an image or a situation that [...]

You can also say this: I’m so PAGODA COLD WAVE LOTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That means “super-duper-tired.”

I’ve heard of this chapel but didn’t get to visit it till yesterday. It’s pleasantly surprising that even if the chapel’s right smack in the middle of the busy city, the chapel is peaceful and intimate. I like it here. There are several prayer areas, the space is well-managed (small but spacious), it’s [...]

Mama’s Salad
Strips of cheese, toasted tofu, broccoli flowers, coarsely chopped carrots and tomatoes on a bed of greens. One of the better salads I’ve tasted! I picked on the tofu more than the greens though. What dressing would you use?
