SM Aura Opening

Was at the SM Aura opening with Ms. Tessa Prieto Valdes last Thursday as her Girl Friday. I had so much fun and I saw Dingdong Dantes again. Funny kasi he was the one who noticed me first and greeted me. Such a nice young man. Thank you to Klay Tan for the photos. Di na ako naki-party. Di na...

I’m your numbe...

It took me 3 days to come up with a title for this post. It took me even longer trying to think about what to say because really, what else is there to say that you don’t already know? Even when I think you don’t know it, apparently you do. Like that time when we got into trouble...

DIY Healthy Water

We’ve been always adamant about the food and drinks that the kids ingest and as much as possible, we want to have the freshest and the closest to natural ingredients in our food and drinks. When I was in China, I can’t help but eat a lot of fruits and vegetables there because they...

Lijiang, China Trip

My mom recently received an award for her impressive performance in the Asia Pacific region. The awards night was set in Lijiang, China, the same place for the CoArt arts festival – the biggest music and artist festival in Lijiang. It was my first time to go to Lijiang and first time to see snow! So exciting but in all honesty, I gave up after 4 minutes in the snow. It was too freaking cold! LOL! It took 3 plane rides to get to Lijiang as there are no direct flights. We stayed at the Pullman resort and spa which was very very posh! We had a villa for four of us and it was just amazing. Broken English and creative communication aside,...

There’s still ...

In every beauty contest, there’s the portion that the world anticipates with tickled glee and the contestants anticipate with morbid anxiety. That is the One on One interview or better known as the “Question and Answer” portion. A hopeful’s chance of getting the crown...

The Ultimate Hong Ko...

For the twins’ 7th birthday, we decided to go as a family to Hong Kong Disneyland. We wanted to make sure that we had the optimum amount of good time while maximizing our stay without making the entire trip so regimented and military. So, we scoured the internet for guides and reviews...

Paying it forward

When I saw the film “Pay it Forward”, I don’t think I’ve ever been touched by something so positive and tragic at the same time. It changed my perspective in life and kind of compared it to how the Pinoy culture is. Let’s start with the whole concept of paying it...

Crafty time: Wrapped...

Times have changed. There was a time when I only had one cord in my bag which was the charger for my mobile phone. Somehow, the cords have found a way to procreate and multiply and have now taken over my bag. I now keep two bags (seriously); one for my everyday girly essentials such as my...

The Trouble with Cec...

*** “It’s me, isn’t it? Don’t sugarcoat it, lay it on me. It’s me.” She plopped down on the chair in front of him, catching him off guard as he was taking a bite off a pastry. So much for a quiet breakfast, he thought. He glared at her but she was too...

Protected: Monsoon

It’s like a dirty little secret – like that bottle of rum she keeps in the bottom of her underwear drawer. It’s one secret she dissects and discusses and argues over with herself. As if the solution to her problem was to spawn multiple personalities. Sex was constantly on her...

His legacy is immort...

I got into this business by accident. Although I saw myself in the industry, I really wanted to be either a singer or a film director. I wasn’t so much a comic as I was just plain funny looking. Comedy wasn’t something I could see myself doing because I knew how hard it was to make...

Fare thee well our B...

The heavens rained today when I got the news. The sky darkened and rumbled and torrents fell strong – just like my tears after that phone call. Oh Bright Star… you fought the good fight. You fought with dignity, humor and grace. You fought with humility and you fought for the right...

At my most Beautiful

On mornings just as the sun is about to rise from its cradle, you are at your most beautiful. On nights when the stars fight for their right to shine with the full moon and you’re there looking up, you are at your most beautiful. In quiet pavements in the solace of your thoughts in words...

Road Rage from a spo...

Minsan ang hirap pigilin ang pagiging biyolente. Sa araw araw na nabubuhay tayo, ang daming mga sitwasyon o pagyayari at mga tao na rin, na sadyang nagiging trigger ng primal urge natin na mag inflict ng pain sa kapwa natin. Tulad na lang ng mga kamoteng motorcycle drivers na yan. Yung tipong...

Upcycling – Ne...

George Carlin (the great stand up comic, may the Comic Gods keep him) probably said it best when he said “Don’t worry about the world.This planet’s fine! It’s the people who live in it that are pretty much f*cked” We have become a throw away society wherein we...
