Just want to share this one, it was forwarded to me... The government recently calculated the cost of raising a child from birth to 18 and came up with $160,140 for a middle income family. Talk about sticker shock! That doesn't even touch college tuition.For those with kids, that figure leads to wild fantasies about all the money we could have banked if not for your child. For others,

It was one of those happiest feeling you won't easily forget.... June 28, 2012 came by and I still haven't got my period yet. I let one week passed thinking its just delayed but beginning to have some doubts because usually my period is regular. July 8, 2012, finally got the chance to do some testing using a pregnancy kit. 2 dark pink lines! July 9, 2012, contemplating on how to tell/surprise

It’s official! Summer is here already says Pagasa. Along with increased heat comes the increase in our electric bills. Today I used the Meralco Appliance Calculator (http://www.meralco.com.ph/mac) and here’s what I’ve discovered. The biggest contributor to our household energy cost is our AIRCON which accounts for 25.69% of our total electric bill. It is followed by our ENTERTAINMENT appliances

July 30, 2010 I became a member of Readbud. What exactly is Readbud? It is a website (http://www.readbud.com/) that pays you to read and rate some articles based on your pre-selected topics of interest. It promised to pay you once you’ve reach the minimum of $50. At first you will be enticed because articles being served were 15-20 per day which were amounted to more than a dollar a day.

Mommy: Migi, magpalit ka ng shirt kase basa ng pawis.  (Migi, let’s change shirt because it is soaking wet.) Migi: No! Mommy: Sige na… (Please…) Migi: No! No! (throwing tantrums when I attempted to change his shirt). Mommy: Sige! Bahala ka. Galit na ako sayo. (I am angry at you!) I ignore Migi for a while and pretended to be angry… a few minutes elapsed… Migi approached me and

Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas launched the new Philippine Peso bills last December 2010. It is just recently that I have completed my collection. Denominations are still the 20, 50, 100, 200, 500 and 1000 bills. These new peso bills looks like play money. The last piece I got was the 500 pesos. It has now a smiling picture Ninoy Aquino together with his wife Cory Aquino. Here are the photos of

Friday after work is a date night for us. This is our ‘We Time’, just the two of us appreciating quality food over a good conversation. Last February 24, 2012 we tried out Cyma Greek Taverna at Shangrila Mall. It is our first time to dine out at a Mediterranean restaurant. We ordered Roka Salata Solo (P330). The salad contained fresh arugula, lettuce, tomatoes, candied walnuts, shaved

We had our weekend getaway at Canyon Woods Residential Resort in Laurel, Batangas. We bought the accommodations through a group buying website, Ensogo at 60% discount. We only paid 2,400 pesos.  Included in the vouchers are accommodations for two, set breakfast for two and free use of swimming pool and fitness center.  Canyon Woods is an exclusive community open to members or lot

January 23, 2012 marks the start of the Year of the Dragon. According to the Chinese zodiac, it is the luckiest birth sign because it is the only mythical creature among the Chinese zodiac. They believe that babies born in this year are destined for success and power. They are said to have courage, wisdom and brings their entire family good luck. Across Asia, there is a rise of births whenever

I started craving for some Korean food upon seeing a TV show featuring Ye Dang Korean Restaurant in Meralco Avenue Pasig. I requested hubby if we could go eat at Ye Dang sometime, but since this restaurant is very popular and there might be lots of people he suggested eating at a Korean restaurant he saw at the back of the building where he works. One Friday night, we decided to eat at the

Now I know why fondant cakes are expensive, it is just so damned hard to do without machinery. My arms and hands hurt after all the kneading. And it really needs some artistic touch to be able to create something. See the pictures of the finished product: Cheese cupcakes topped with fondant icing for Hubby’s Birthday.

Happy New Year! What better way to greet the new year than a resolution that will help make a great change to your life and family from years to come. So this year my new year’s resolution is about improving our finances for our future. Be it by saving money, doing some sidelines, or just finding a way to earn some passive income. I will set up an automatic bank transfer to my savings account

Our son Migi really likes jollibee, his favorites includes spaghetti, palabok, and peach mango pie. As a two year old he would consumed one serving of jollibee spaghetti and would even raised his pointer finger to indicate that he wants more. He watches the Jollibee town show every Sunday. That's why for his 2nd birthday, we wanted to do something related to Jollibee. Due to time constraints in

I have turned xx years old today! (the age is a secret! haha). As an extra challenge for me I tried my hand in baking my very own birthday cake. Actually it is not a stroke of inspiration that I have decided to make a birthday cake, in reality my sister have some baking ingredients that are about to be expired next month. So in order to prevent wastage, I have decided to make use of them before

One of our favorite food is the California Maki, we would always buy in stores or restaurant just to satisfy our cravings. California Maki is basically an inside out sushi roll. It is made of rice mixed with rice vinegar, nori sheet, crab stick, avocado slices and cucumbers. The outer layer of the roll is sprinkled with tobiko (orange stuff fish roe). Last July 30, 2011, me and my sister

We started Migi's speech therapy session last July 2, 2011 since he is a little bit delayed in terms of speaking. Migi has this levator oris palsy, a weak muscle in the left corner of his mouth that also makes him drool a lot. Here is a picture of my son and my husband taken after school. Migi's school is Movement Matters Therapy Center. Address: Unit 3C, Parc Plaza Bldg., E. Rodriguez Jr.

It is a mysterious business, this making of bread, and once you are hooked by the miracle of yeast,you'll be a breadmaker for life.James Break, from Beard on Bread 1980 I always wondered how bread are made and is it the same as baking a cake or making desserts?

When will your baby coo's turn into words? When will he/she be able to say "Mama"? Well our baby Migi is a little bit delayed. At 20 months old, his vocabulary is limited to "Daddy" and "Kongkong" (Shortcut of Grandfather in Chinese). My wait is finally over, today June 4, 2011 he finally called me...."Mama".
