Wifely Steps

You know the feeling when you need a vacation from your vacation? *yawn* I sure do. Pardon me while I ramble for today. Rambling = scattered thoughts so, I hope I don’t lose you in my ramblings. Bangkok was great! I really love their BTS (Skytrain, ala a better MRT). It’s super efficient and very [...]

These little bunnies will keep you company for the next week! Meanwhile, would you like to… … read the Desiderata, translated in Filipino by Tito Rolly? … see what makes a caramel-and-white colored halo-halo special? … share your thoughts on why having a baby is not a game, nor a race? … find more ways [...]

Did you know that if you don’t have water chestnuts, you can use singkamas instead? That if you don’t have buttermilk, you can use sweet milk and yogurt instead? That if you don’t have ghee, you can use vegetable oil? I’ve felt frustrated whenever I’d stumble upon a recipe I’d love to try, but find [...]

Tagged by Scrooch Chronicles. Here are 7 of my favorite songs. Instead of just writing the titles out, I thought of using imeem so you can hear what the songs are like!

Last weekend, I went on a date with the first man I ever adored. I was a bit shy asking him out a few days before. While we’d see each other often and while we do have some one-on-one time, making time to go out together, just the two of us, is something we rarely [...]

Medyo makulit ‘tong survey. Sasagutin ko ang mga backlog ko na tags ninyo — malapit na malapit na po. Bakit ako nagta-Tagalog? Ang dami ko na kasing mga dokumentong binabasa at sinusulat na nasa wikang Ingles kaya heto na’t magsusulat muna ako sa Tagalog. Sagutin niyo na rin ang survey na ito. (Ano nga ba [...]

While I do not always reply to comments right here in the blog, I do reply to comments via e-mail 99% of the time. I’ve gotten some feedback that my mail would usually go to the spam folder. Am I pink and rectangular? Am I good when caramelized? Am I delicious when topped with a [...]

The Rules: 1. For every impulse buy item that you resisted buying, put a coin into the Lottery Jar. 2. For every household chore completed, put a coin into the Mall Jar. 3. For every bad word spoken, put a coin into the Cussin’ Jar. 4. For every time you deposit into your savings account, [...]

One of the things I love about being Filipino is the beauty of our language. Romantic, intelligent, gruff but suave — if our language were a person, these are the characteristics he would have. I came to appreciate the language even more upon reading Tito Rolly‘s translation of the Desiderata. His words are deep and [...]

When Nathaniel of the Film Experience Blog announced a blog-a-thon on Women in Action Films, I quickly began making a mental list of power women I admired. Ripley. The Bride. Elektra. One heroine stood out though. Elizabeth Swann. Okay, who hasn’t seen Pirates of the Carribean? I’m sure you’re very familiar with her story — [...]
