Motherhood is one adventure after another. I live, I learn, I write.
One of the things us moms need to do are the groceries. It's a welcome task for me, it's a mini-escape and the shopping equates to retail therapy na rin haha :D One of my most favorite shops ever is S&R. It's a great place to stock up on items in bulk and for me, I always love sourcing imported toiletries so that I don't have to ask my titas in New Jersey to buy for me hehehe. Also S&R is a one-stop shop for all your household needs -- even appliances. So hello this got my … [Continue reading]
McDo is love! Do you know that there’s a new McDonald’s branch in town and it’s not like any other in the country! Its run by kids the whole entire day and they specialize in McDo Cheeseburgers.

David went and made a McDo cheeseburger when we went to the opening of the Burger Shop. He had a great time meeting new … [Continue reading]

Anyway, we're looking at models from the usual dealers and brands and have … [Continue reading]

All the time, during the trip, I kept telling myself that if I was in my mid-20a that I would have loooved this trips. But nope, I'm in my late 30s na and the early flight plus all the walking I did to and from buildings made me feel like I was a cast member of The Walking Dead (lamang lang ako ng ilang paligo) I only had few free hours after client meetings but even with my sore feet, I changed … [Continue reading]
When I was still commuting to work here in Makati, I used to call cabs through their operators via landline. It was always a one hour ordeal at least. IF I am able to contact them at all. Once my call gets picked up the operator would radio all available cabs and ask if there would be someone who is in QC who can take a passenger to Makati. This system worked, it's tedious for sure but it worked around 50% of the time. If that didn't work naman, I would hail a cab at the corner of a busy … [Continue reading]
