Chasing sushis and balloon
Just this afternoon, I finally finished another monthly task that I’ve been doing for more than half a year already – family expenses accounting. After learning how to do it from a personal financial planning training, I’ve never ignored a single receipt and have always tried my best to account each expense somewhere around the [...]
Sweetest email
I’m sure this is the sweetest email I’ve ever received. A contact forwarded an email prior to this with the subject: Krispy Kreme and with an invitation to click on this link: http://www.chocolatekarnival.com/register.php . I don’t know but if there’s one good way for a virus to infect my PC, it probably would be through [...]
Turon for the frustrated me
Turon Originally uploaded by Marcus Can A snack intended to cool off my frustrations. Well, it was effective. These turon, or what I prefer to call “turonitos” because of its small size, were made from just 3 bananas. If I hadn’t known that, I’d be stuffed and guilty…and be more frustrated. Hahaha. Note: From now [...]
Let’s buy pork!
Everyone is panicking right now because of this swine flu virus. It’s been in news for days and it’s sad that this virus has killed so many people in Mexico where it was suspected to have originated. Of course the Americans, being paranoid by nature, has made all the necessary efforts as well to [...]
Tagaytay Adventure
Just when I thought that another of our Tagaytay trip will be spent in any of our comfort zones – Starbucks, Carlos Pizza, Yellow Cab or just feeling the chilly wind in People’s Park – I was so happy when another idea came into the picture. We thought why not bring our baby boy to [...]
Let's eat cake
It’s been 3 days already since I’ve been eating the chocolate roll that we had for noche Buena. My diet since then has been on leftovers and thankfully, it looks like this day will be the last – unless our refrigerator reveals another Tupperware with foods still waiting to be consumed. [...]
Breakfast Man Smiles Again
Just a couple of hours after the sun beams peaked out of the clouds and I’m declaring my day complete already. Why? Because I just had a great breakfast courtesy of wifey. It’s been a whole week of patiently waiting for this moment and today she did it again. Although, wifey is not known to [...]
A Week of Interviews (Part 2)
That night, the image of one of the kids holding his father’s hand while they merrily chatted held on to my brain like stubborn road tar.
A Week of Interviews (Part 1)
I’ve said it several times either to myself or to someone – Time flies so fast. And so today I was surprised to see that the last time I did a blog was on August 31 and fifteen days after that, I’m still wondering what I’ve been thru since then. Now I’m in the [...]
Breakfast, Egg and Me
“You have to know what you want when you reach the end of the line…” – Andrew Zimmern, Bizarre Foods host. I’m one of those who consider breakfast as the most important meal of the day. I can skip lunch, dinner and whatever snack there is, but never breakfast. I don’t know if this is [...]
