It’s one of those mornings. The house is quiet except for the sound of my fingers on the keyboard. Ralph is still fast asleep—he had a late-night meeting, poor guy. I’m sitting here working, glancing out the window at the gloomy weather. The clouds feel…
I recently decided to take the plunge and try semi-permanent lashes, something I once swore I'd never do. Typically, I'd shy away after hearing about the “no water for 24 hours” rule—flashbacks to my brow routine at Izella Aesthetics with the dreaded 4-day no-water rule ...
Our big day at MassKara Festival began at Sukro around 2 p.m., where we rested for all of ten minutes before launching into the adventure. First stop? Ayala Mall, where Bacolod decided to welcome us with torrential rain and a cozy traffic jam. Lacson Street ...
Today was supposed to be a day of excitement as I packed our bags for a long-awaited 3-day vacation in Bacolod, ready to soak in the vibrant Masskara celebrations. But a simple text from Kristine Kho shattered that joy. Manang Nevy Natividad Laxa, my dear…
Can you believe it? Baby Yui, our little bundle of joy, is officially 4 months old today! It feels like just yesterday we were pacing around the house, anticipating her arrival, and now she's here with her chubby cheeks, cute little coos, and infectious giggles. ...
So, we were invited to Lunar: Art, Cafe, and Bar on October 18th by our dear friend Erica Dalucanog. Now, before you start imagining a quiet night sipping lattes in an art gallery, let me stop you right there. Erica’s boyfriend, Daniel Tan, was DJing ...
Well, folks, it finally happened. The long-overdue night out with Jusha is now a glorious (and slightly hazy) memory. Ever since Yui was born, Ralph and I have been locked into full-on grandparent mode. Fun? What’s that again? Oh yeah, clubbing! But when you’ve got…
So, I just made the brilliant decision to watch the newly premiered Salem’s Lot on HBO Go. Let me tell you—it didn’t take long before I hit pause and bailed. The suspense was next-level, and don’t even get me started on the vampires. I thought ...
Hinigaran may still be a small town, but it’s definitely making some big moves lately. With Mayor Nadie Arceo at the helm, there’s been an influx of new businesses popping up, and soon we’re getting our very own Metro Gaisano! Yep, you heard that right! ...
Can you believe it? Our little Yui is already 3 months old today! 🎉 Time is flying by so fast – from tiny newborn snuggles to all the smiles, coos, and wiggles. She’s officially the queen of cuteness around here, and we’re soaking up every…
One night, under soft lights and laughter, we drifted into a night meant for celebration. Joy danced on the air like whispers, but my heart? It was a quiet observer, watching him orbit a sun that wasn’t me. She, with her grace like morning dew, ...
This year's anniversary celebration of The Dhaba and Daily Prana was nothing short of epic! We left Hinigaran around 1 pm and checked into Sukro Hotel before heading to David’s Salon. What was supposed to be Ralph’s haircut turned into me getting my hair layered ...
Today marks the fifth (yes, fifth!) consecutive day of heavy rain, and I’m starting to forget what a dry window even looks like. It’s like we’ve completely swapped the scorching heat from a few months ago for a rain-soaked monsoon marathon. Don’t get me wrong—I’m…
Life has this funny way of coming full circle. Meet my aunt Thelma Camion, my father's second cousin, who was once Ken's babysitter back when he was just a little bundle of energy. Fast forward to today, aunt Thelma recently visited her daughter, Jenjen (who's ...
The last couple of days have been rough. I’m not going to sugarcoat it. Two nights ago, my husband and I had this huge, explosive fight. He was drunk and I was very defensive, and it was… awful. I can’t even begin to go over ...
