One of the best thing that happened to our family last year was a tour around the famous places in Seoul, South Korea.  The highlight of that tour was for all six of us to wear Hanbok, so I did put my husband and eldest son up to the challenge, for they too had donned the traditional Korean clothes which we rented out from one of the stores in Bukchon Village.

Hanbok-wearing is part of the cultural experience when visiting Korea.  It is worn by Koreans during special occasions and holidays.  So I made sure we get that ticked off on our must-try list.  It was a dream come true for me and my three girls to walk along the alleys of Bukchon Village and Gyeongbokgung Palace sporting the colorful clothes, however, what we missed was to dine over Korean BBQ on them.

Till Sariwon's 7th Anniversary.

Instant Pot Baby Back Pork Barbeque

I found a new love affair.  The kinda affair that my husband would approve. HaHaHa.

At first I thought I was going to curse myself for falling into this allowing myself be awed and astounded. To be honest, I was afraid to try it but I gave in. And even though many told me that it's gonna cost me, I didn't listen to them.

So, YES, I wasn't sorry that I tried it and I can't wait for our next engagement.

Okay, Okay, I'm not into some sort of adulterous affair, I'm writing about how I feel with the first time I used my Instant Pot DUO60 6 Qt.

I've had it for a long time, but I was sure scared I might not be able to understand how to use it, coz well, it's nifty high-tech.  It's not like your typical rice cooker with just one button to push.  Instant Pot DUO60 6 Qt is a 7-in-1 Multi-Use Programmable Pressure Cooker, Slow Cooker, Rice Cooker, Steamer, Sauté, Yogurt Maker and Warmer, built in with digital buttons up front for the different cooking features.

Why wouldn't I fall in love with it, can you see how beautifully it sits on my kitchen counter top?

 I've seen the raves over Instant Pot® in the US and many home-cooks would attest to it's usefulness and practicality.  Imagine having a smart pressure cooker, a cooker where you can make porridge, cakes and even yogurt.

For my first dish cooked in my new thyngamajig therefore is something I hardly cook as it would take me two to three hours to slow cook- bbq baby back ribs.

True Pleasure with the NEW Magnum Macadamia Salted Caramel

Rasabeth Moss Kanter once said "I've found that small wins, small projects, small differences often make huge differences."

Seeking out moments of pleasure in our everyday lives is but normal, we often want to reward ourselves for small highs to big wins.

Why not!?

DOT’s Partnership with SM Supermalls to Boost the Tourism Industry

For the tourism sector, shopping is no longer a secondary activity but is in fact an integral part of the tourist experience.

To learn about what other activities that tourists most actively participate in, aside from their main purpose of travel, the Department of Tourism (DOT) undertakes the Visitor Sample Survey (VSS), a monthly passenger exit survey done on randomly selected pre-departure visitors at various international gateways in the country.

For 2018, the results showed that shopping is the most common activity at 38 percent followed by sightseeing at 30.5 percent.  Other activities are sports, nature and adventure, scuba diving and visiting friends and relatives.

The Sweetest Way to Say I Love You Berry Much Mom - with Mrs. Fields

Who doesn't love their mom? I mean, we owe our life to them, right? 

But, let's face it, sometimes it's easy to forget to let her know that. It really doesn't have to be difficult or expensive to show your mother how much she means to you.

Spend a little time with her or give her the right words, a gift, or a favor to let her know just how well she did in raising a child who loves her. This is important to do now and then, whether you're still young or grown with a family of your own.

This Mother's Day would be another opportunity to show her how much we appreciate her, and how thankful are we for Mrs. Fields made it easier to say how much we love our moms.

Like buying a chocolate bar.
