The scrapbook, that is. I was able to get a couple of pages done for the Pahiyas 2011 album — 3 months after the event. Pfft. Since I moved to the new apartment, I haven’t unpacked my scrapbook supplies so it was a little difficult for me to dig around in boxes for the stuff… [Read more…]

I have to admit that since I wrote about my experience with Saeki- sensei’s lotion mask, I was on and off with the routine, especially since work became extremely busy. But now, no matter how stressed and tired I am at night, I make it a point to make myself a lotion mask. Most of… [Read more…]

The Pahiyas Festival will not be complete without the kiping – colorful leaf-shaped sheets made of ground rice used as decoration. How are these ubiquitous decorations made?

Or “one of the bestest restaurants in Global City”. That’s probably an accurate description of Mozu Cafe Bar. I first learned of Mozu when my teammates brought me there for a late lunch.

Life is a choice: if you can’t have all, have some at least.
If you can’t be good, don’t be bad. If you can’t be totally happy, don’t be completely sad. ENJOY LIFE!
Laugh. Love. Live.
