Lime and Basil, A Hidden Thai Resto in Tagaytay

It's every gourmand's dream to taste the world one bite at a time, but sometimes it's stays at that , as a dream.

One thing great about social media is knowing the trend in food and finding out where to find them.  And the world seemed a little smaller and manageable. And you don't have to spend so much to taste and experience  the things in your bucket list, like going to Thailand to eat Thai food.

Recipe: Pamora Farm's Spring Chicken In Coconut Milk with Lemongrass

After attending a media event from Pamora Farms and The Peninsula Manila, I took home some Pamora Free Range Chicken products.  I usually just baked the spring chicken in the oven after marinating overnight.  This time, I got a little inventive and playful.

To make sure, we will all enjoy the dish I would cook, I checked some of my recipe books,

i did see some I'd like to cook but when I checked my kitchen, I don't have the ingredients, or thought I could save it for the future days.  So I asked Google.  

J-Rams Coffee Bistro Pastries

Birthdays are big deals for us, especially when it is March.  It's the season when we celebrate the whole month with a number of cakes and it had become the busiest month next to December.  We celebrate three birthdays on March, my SIL, my daughter Danielle and mine.

As much as I would want to throw a party, I couldn't, my daughter doesn't like parties, and my husband does not like to spend!  LOL!  I used to cook for my kids but pastas, baked chicken and cakes have been passé.  And since Kdrama is in, so does K-cuisine, Korean food.  .

Why I've Decided to Count on Pamora 100 % Free-Range Over Commercial Ones

Our family's love for chicken is divine and profound that we don’t usually tolerate anything that comes in the way of our greatest guilty pleasure. Haha!  That said, I've been meaning to change to a healthier lifestyle hence I joined Green Peace' #LessIsMore campaign and sure enough, I can gladly throw off pork and beef eating.   But with chicken, it's a whole lot different story.  Come to think of it, if you check my disorganized   RECIPE PAGE, the savory recipes are composed mostly of chicken as main ingredient.

Nakiki-Millennial at #Momtribe Meet-up by Millennial Moms at Eastwood Richmonde Hotel

It is crippling.
That Love.
Even when I wish to escape it because of crying.
The love now, it's everywhere.
I soak in it's light. And other times, it's still dark.
But I'm better with the darkness now than ever before.

Felt a thug on my heart while listening to the song, Say You Won't Let Go, a song by James Arthur about a guy's love. Hence, the poem.  It's not mine though, but I deeply felt the mother's ache seeing his son growing so fast, that even in her hardship, of mothering him, she still chooses to be in that situation.

LG’s ThinQ System, for a Smarter and More Connected Home

Have you ever wondered what life would be like if your home ran on AI or artificial intelligence? This home would understand you. It would know to put on the news as soon as you wake up. It would cool your living room to your desired temperature at a certain time each night. It would put your washing machine on the "soiled clothes" setting because it knows, based on your calendar, that you’ve been to the gym.

Your home would be doing this, not because you had asked it to but because it had been learning from your behavioral patterns, understanding your needs and then automating your home based on your habits. Like an efficient assistant, it can predict what you want even before you ask for it.

Recipe: Healthy Carrot Loaf Makes a Great Lunchbox Snack or Dessert

I know like many other moms, you also strive to put healthier balance in your family's diet.  Many people are looking for ways to become healthier, and I'm your go to mommy recipe-trier, for those food who can answer to your cravings but won't make you cry guilty after.

I have had long years of trying this and that, and replacing this with that, and adding this and that, just to make a dish complete with the nutrients your kids need.  Or just like what you might be thinking of me, right now, I'm healthy-food junkie (or crazy).  Call me anything, but don't call me a bad mom.  I know, I know, my kids are just hating me every time I try out something, like adding malunggay to my cookies or brownies or using a different kind of flour.

A Whiff of Modern Freshness and Simple Elegance

Ladies and gents, let me ask you, do you remember the shirt your first date wore? How about the brand of shoes? Would she be carrying a bag? Wore a piece of knock out accessory?

I bet you won't recall any of those!  Coz, try as I must, I too, couldn't remember what my first love wore, but one thing I couldn't forget, except for his face and being a gentleman, his scent, the perfume he wore.  Until now, whenever I get a whiff of that on my husband, I remember...

Restoring Balance in a Mom's Life at City Garden Hotel Makati

When a woman bears a child and brings his or her into this world, she will forget who she wanted to be.  Each time she raises one, their dreams become hers. Their hurts become hers. 

She loses some and yet gains some.

Last Saturday, I spent time alone with my husband, I felt so guilty for having him line up for parking in Megamall while I attend to some mommy blogger friends at the recently concluded Smart Parenting Convention 2018.
