A Filipina Mom Blogger

Christmas shopping is never complete without a visit to Divisoria to buy wholesale prices on Christmas wrappers, ribbons, and christmas decors. The sights and sounds are quite an experience. I also love the bargains on gift items especially bought on wholessale prices. This time around, my husband wasn’t too comfortable with me shopping alone after [...]

I think I have mentioned before that my husband is my co-homemaker . For the past two years, he took over my role in grocery shopping. It’s really sweet of him to shop for me. I don’t mind it one bit because I don’t enjoy grocery shopping. Prices of the goods are quite depressing. [...]

A magazine writer once asked me if I considered myself a “geek”. Musing over the question, I hemmed and hawed “Isn’t the geek label reserved for the less than 40 year olds? ” With a slight hint of embarassment I mulled over the question again and affirmed that yes, I am a [...]
