Tweet It’s tough to find a credit card that can give you a good deal these days. There’s the battle for the lowest interest rates. There’s the battle for free movie tickets or free miles. This doesn’t really interest me, as I hardly travel nor do I have time to watch movies. Yes, yes, it’s [...]

Tweet I was walking down the stairs when this flash of green on the first floor caught my eye. Eek! There’s a huge insect in the house! How’d that get in here? Moving closer, I noticed it wasn’t moving. Making itself at home, eh? Hmmm. As soon as I got to the first floor, its [...]

Tweet You know those huge pens filled with multi-colored balls in children’s play areas? I’ve always wanted to play in those. They weren’t around yet when I was a kid. Today I finally got to experience it. Weeee! The play area had just opened so the toddler and I had the whole pen to ourselves. [...]

Tweet Manila Ocean Park is FUN! We trooped over on a Sunday morning because (a) we wanted to hit the park before the lunch crowd rushed in, and (b) the Marquez-Pacquiao fight was a-happenin’ and we felt a lot of folks would be somewhere else watching the fight. We were right with A and were [...]

Tweet I’m thirty four years old. And I’ve never: 1. Baked a pie. 2. Lived on my own. 3. Been to Nice or the Isle of Greece (while I…) 4. Sipped champagne on a yacht. 5. Gambled in a casino. 6. Had a cat. 7. Seen “Father of the Bride” without getting choked up. 8. [...]

Tweet Going out with the toddler always involves a juggle of bags. There’s his Lightning McQueen backpack, which holds his extra clothes, some toys, wipes and diapers. There’s his Lego lunchbox, which holds his water, milk and snacks. Then there’s the Mommy bag — MY bag, which is more like a baby bag. I emptied [...]

Tweet Here’s a conversation with the husband after I told him about my frustrating dream about Scott Speedman (frustrating = nothing happened because of my good girl subconscious). English translation is at the end the post. The man of, and in, my dreams *sigh* Husband: “Sige pag-naging jowa mo si Scott Speedman pwede mo na [...]

Tweet This is what happens when I turn my back on the toddler for a split-second. What was I doing when I wasn’t looking? Fixing toy clutter. Before I could say, “All cleaned up!” I heard a little shuffle behind me. Ta-da. I wonder why he just HAD to take all his laundry out. I [...]

Tweet This post was first published on philstar.com’s Unblogged. I’m sharing it here in my blog for my Wifely Steps family. This is for all the work-at-home and stay-at-home Moms who feel they’re misunderstood. Cheers! We were having a quiet lunch and I was complaining to my friend how I didn’t have time for myself [...]

Tweet Ark Avilon Zoo is the only interactive indoor zoo in the Philippines. With the baby developing an interest in animals, we thought it was prime time to take him to the zoo. Ark Avilon was perfect because it’s very accessible (near the Eastwood area) and it’s shaded (no glaring sun!). So one Sunday afternoon, [...]
