My First Zalora Loot!

Like most of you, I enjoy shopping online so much. Because you can find very affordable items without going through so much stress like traffic and crowd. It's very convenient kasi for a working mom like me who has so little spare time on hand.  I usually use my Paypal funds to pay. If I run out of funds, I use BDO online bank fund transfer naman. If you are banking online, this is a very convenient way to pay. Just enroll the account of the seller or merchant as third party. If your account comes with an ATM card, you can activate the enrollment thru ATM using the activation code provided after enrolling the third party account. After that, you may do fund transfer and just save the transaction receipt in case the merchant will require as proof of payment. Speaking of online shopping. I just got my first Zalora loot and maybe my last online shopping loot for 2013! I'll write more about these once Daddy take a good shot of them since the photo above does not justify...

Merry Christmas 2013 - Our Noche Buena

Christmas day just passed like that. Ang bilis! Now, we are all looking forward for the New Year. If only I can take a leave, I will. Unfortunately, taking leaves on December is no longer allowed in our company. Anyways, let me share our Noche Buena. Noche Buena will always be in our tradition.

And since he sleep for almost 4 hours in the afternoon he still wide awake until the Noche Buena. ...

Christmas Gift for Daddy

I hope Daddy will not read this post too soon, hehe... Anyway, I have been looking for a perfect gift for him. Something he can use or be useful for him. Last Sunday, when we went to the mall he's looking for a belt. But he said it's too expensive daw kaya he didn't buy. #kuripotlang Now, I am thinking of giving him a belt. Ssshhh... I hope again, he will not read this post too soon. But leather belt is too expensive and with his experience, it get easily worn out. Yung lumulutong na sa tagal ng gamit. So I search online because for me shopping online is the easiest thing to do nowadays. Agree? And look what I have found... sourc...

Noche Buena: Why it’s Absolutely Possible to Still Eat Healthy

Guess who goes with us to work? Can you imagine how tired I am chasing after him and reminding him not to touch things here?

My Childhood's Christmas Carol Story

When I was a child I always look forward to Christmas season. Not only because of the new dress and shoes that my mother will buy me or the gifts the that I will receive from relatives and Godparents. But also because of the Christmas caroling with my childhood friends that I am always excited to join. We do our own musical instruments and we sing our heart out even if most of the times, we were out of tune. We were so happy even with the 5-peso (or even less) that we can take home after each night of caroling. Because it's not about the money, but it's about the experience and friendship that we have shared that matters most. photo sourc...

Not so Lucky Weekend + Divisoria Loot

Hello Monday! It's another work week. The weekend just passed like that no, ang bilis. It was a tiring weekend for us. Daddy and I went to Divisoria last Saturday, and the traffic jam was terrible.  Supposedly, November 30 is our Divisoria day schedule but at the last minute Daddy filed a leave and then off we went. It was a wrong decision because it took us 2 hours from Hermosa Taft to Tutuban parking due to heavy traffic. Then the rain poured while we are walking along Tabora. Nevertheless, we still manage to buy those in our list. On our way home, we realized almost everything we bought were for Matt. Look! Divisoria Loot All cars (and train) except for the shoes. We can't find cars shoes e. Matt is so so so happy seeing all these stuffs. Muntik pang di makuhaan ng photo since he's so impatient to have them. He even climbed the table where we put these for picture taking, he grabbed the big car and run to his room. Silly boy! Anyway, I understand why he's so eager...

Is this true? Typhoon Yolanda is a man-made typhoon?

Have you already watched the a viral Youtube video saying Yolanda is a man-made typhoon? But a UP professor and a scientist, Dr. Mahar Lagmay, already debunks the idea of creating a man-made typhoon. He said: “I see no relation as of the moment… There’s no very solid demonstration of its (microwave pulse) relation with how it generates cyclones, how this makes the water evaporate and accumulate in a particular area. It’s simply not well-documented,” he said. “You don’t prove...
