While dining out usually entails the restaurant cooking and serving your chosen meals, there’s also dining out hot pot style. Have you tried that yet? Hot pot style means having a pot of simmering broth at the center of your table, then sliding in various ingredients of your choice. You don’t have to be a [...]
Chips and salsa… one of my favorite snacking combos! Perfect for a pigging out treat and couch potato day. Are chips and salsa your pig out food too? Or do you snack on something different? Tell me! Tell me! Here’s my chips and salsa ritual when it’s pigging out time.

I love big bags. This red one is my absolute favorite because it has lots of room for the many items I carry with me everyday. The minimum stuff I carry include: a kikay kit (which is bursting with face powder, lipstick, contact lens lubricant, lip gloss, etc.), at least one book, my cellphone, my [...]
I wrote this letter to myself one year ago via the site FutureMe. It’s all about writing yourself a letter, and having it delivered at a later date. Until this morning, I had totally forgotten about this! It was a pleasant surprise to see this in my inbox.

Shopping for presents is an activity I enjoy, especially if it’s for a kid’s birthday. Going through children’s book sections, picking out little clothes and shoes, testing different toys — what’s not to enjoy!
I chanced upon these little learning books in National Bookstore yesterday. The bright colors and Disney characters immediately drew me to [...]
We each have our own style and system of budgetting. I have tried:
a) Putting 20% of my income immediately into savings, 40% to bills, etc.
b) Giving myself an allowance
c) Cost-cutting (bringing my own lunch to work, walking instead of taking cabs, controlling the urge to buy books I don’t really need but am dying [...]
My sister P adores penguins and the kitchen. What better way to marry these two loves of hers by preparing this appetizer? She served this during one of our family gatherings. Aren’t they the cutest? She was inspired by a recipe she read from the net. Who could’ve thought that pitted black olives, cream cheese [...]
This is one of my favorite poems. It is written by Mary Oliver. I’d like to share it with you as this new year unfolds. You have “one wild and precious life.” Make sure 2007 celebrates your wonderful gift of life. Enjoy!
The Summer Day
