Oh, sweet gossip, that spice of life that flavors every huddle in the Guard House at Madeleine Academy. It’s like the school’s own special brew of coffee, except it’s bitter, and you don’t even need a cup—just a pair of ears. So, let’s have a…
Ralph’s brush with Dengue
I have not seen my husband so worried than when he was diagnosed of having Dengue fever! A few days prior to our visit to the doctor, he was already feeling too sick to move and felt muscular weakness all throughout his body. He was ...
Two Weddings and the Rainy Season
I have been out on most of the social media loop lately: Twitter, Facebook, Posterous and even on my favorite Dailybooth! It all started when I just instantly decided that I should make a complete overhaul of my wordpress-powered blog in terms of its design ...
An afternoon snack with Safiya Parks
All I can remember from yesterday’s event was, I got too exhausted that every muscle in my body went limp as I retired to bed. Now, you may think that I ran a marathon or something… no. It was just a normal Sunday where we…

I’m just a girl from Hinigaran who loves Mila’s Restaurant!
I have been an avid reader of Francine Pascal's Sweet Valley Unicorn, High and University when I was growing up. I have come to love the town of Sweet Valley though I'm well aware that it's merely a fiction and it does not exist anywhere ...
Movie Marathon
Ok, well it’s now 11:10 PM and I can hardly sleep. Had a lot of Coke tonight after dinner so the caffeine is boosting me up. Ralph and I just finished watching the movie “Jennifer’s Body” and I think that this Megan Fox girl rocks!…
Getting sick of the “lack of running hot water” teasing
Isn't it sometimes irritating when someone teases you about something that is a little personal and when that someone does apologize, he/she still picks on you for the same joke over and over? I must admit I'm not rich. We are not rich at all. I ...
