Top 5 Romantic Movies That Make You Want to Fall in Love

I just caught the last 20 minutes of the “He’s Not That Just Into You,” one of my all-time favorite romantic comedy movies. It made me think of all the other romance movies that made me want to fall in love again. Here they are: P.S. I Love You – It felt weird seeing Hillary [...]

For the Love of the Printed Word

I don’t know about you but I still prefer printed books over e-books. I love feeling old books in my hand, knowing that I made those creases or marks when I first read the book. I love bring pocketbooks on buses, comfort rooms and restaurants. I love covering my books with plastic while I watch [...]

The Heater is on Fire!

Literally. I forgot to turn of the cheap water heater and the water dried up, burned the bottom of the heater as well as the plastic base that supports the stainless steel body.  I guess it took about at least 30 minutes for the whole thing to burn up, fill my small house with smoke, [...]

WRONG SEND!

Since I started using my brother’s mobile phone about two weeks ago, I’ve been mis-sending text messages.  Those instances reminded me so much of a forum I started in Ulayaw Ning. This is part of the How Would You Reply series I am running out of ideas for a post, I am rounding up the [...]

Are You Afraid of Friday the 13th?

Friday the 13th has traditionally rendered many people wary of going out of the house or making any major plans for the day. Some people even have an irrational fear of the day which is referred to as friggatriskaidekaphobia. This is because of the superstitious belief that the day brings bad luck. Yesterday, July 13, [...]

Martha’s Cakes To Wish For

Last weekend, several mommy bloggers and their kids went to Martha’s Cakes in Serendra for some bonding time over cupcakes and cookies. While my daughter was busy design her works of arts, I was occupied with the establishment’s wall of wonder. I am sharing some of these with you. This Twilight-inspired cake was jaw dropping! [...]

A Taste of Italy @ Friuli Tratoria

Maginhawa Street in UP Village has become a must-visit destination for food enthusiasts visiting Quezon City. A quick drive along the street would reveal a series of interesting restaurants one of which is Friuli,  a tratoria serving authentic, freshly baked pizza, pasta, coffee, and cakes. The name Friuli refers to an area in northern Italy [...]
