Leaving Singapore is like breaking up with a boyfriend who’s been good to you for many years. There’s a part of you that says you should stay with him because he’s a “safe choice”, but there’s anothe...
I’ve always loved the smell of freshly-cut grass. I used to think that if new beginnings and second chances had a scent, it would smell like this.
younger days. In the summer of 2004, just like any other summers of the past, we went to Baguio. Little did I know that it would be the last summer of my life. Well maybe now that the little one is h...
I stumbled upon this website while researching about restaurants. It’s the website of a diner in NY that closed down after 34 years. I found the link to their blog where one of the entries was...
i love the fact that i don’t need to teach, that i don’t need to think about sales and profits, that i have my weekends back, that i am empowered to do my tasks as i deem fit, that i have...
My son wakes up at 6.30am and is asleep by 9pm. With a 9-6 office job, that gives me an average of 3 and a half hours a day (Monday to Friday) of quality time with him. And I wonder if that’s e...
So I start on a new job on Monday. I am excited and nervous at the same time. I wonder if the added financial gains will be worth the extra responsibilities and hours at the office. Well, at least I ...
Lucas turns 8 months old Lucas has reached the end of his 7th month OR the beginning of his 8th (whichever way you want to see it, hehe). I’ve been posting his milestones on this blog so that I...
Food for the Gods It was Lucas’ 8th month birthday yesterday so I had a reason to bake something. Although I’ve been baking every weekend because of my carrot cake orders, it’s been...
There are certain Goodbyes that I hate–those where you tell each other that you’ll see each other soon, but most probably, you really won’t anymore.
I’m being spoiled by our April, my baby’s nanny. Aside from being great with Lucas, she is also a wonderful cook. Her adobo is to die for. I told her once to make adobo fried rice, and I ...
I fell in love with books when I was seven years old. The first ever storybook that I owned was a brown paperback entitled “Stories for the 7-year old” (or was it for 12-year olds? Can...
I will always remember February 2011 as the month that we ALMOST gave up our permanent residency status (it’s a looong story.) Anyway, some updates in photos. Lucas can now sit on his own. He i...
So, the only alcoholic beverage that’s in my diet now is Shao Hsing wine, which is actually rice wine used in cooking. I hardly go out these days. I’m at this stage (is it really just a s...
I know, I know. Most people will say it’s too early. After all, Lucas’ first birthday is on 1oth August–that’s about 8 months from now. It’s never too early to plan for ...
Lucas’ 5th month was supposed to be today, 10th January 2011. But I’m working ’til 9pm so we decided to blow his 5th month candles last night. We arrived from church at 7.30pm. I wa...
If there’s broccoli love, then there’s also basil love. I love basil so much that I’m growing it in a small pot. Hopefully, in a few days’ time, I will see the fruits (err, he...
My family (I’m still getting used to saying “my family”. I had been saying “hubby & I” for the longest time!) spent Christmas and New Year in Singapore. We usually s...
