Yaya-less…

Published by under personal

I’m troubled again because Gwen’s yaya left yesterday, she left because her 1-year-old daughter is sick and her husband wants her home. I’m sad because she left when I’m about to go back to work, besides, she’s very nice and takes care of Gwen patiently. What’s more troubling is that the other helpers referred to [...]

YOU made my day, Thank You!

Published by under Hong Kong,personal

While staying at the double room of Taisan Guesthouse, I browsed one of the drawers to look for Hong Kong maps other guests might have left. True enough, I find brochures and print-outs inside the drawer, but what caught my eye are these three printouts… A smile creeped into my face the moment I found [...]

Iphone 4 in Hong Kong

Published by under gadgets,Hong Kong

One primary reason why I was so excited to go to Hong Kong is because I wanted to purchase Iphone 4 there. Apple Store HK sells the 32 GGB Iphone 4 for HKD 5,888 or around Php 33,000. Very significant price difference compared to prices here in the Philippines. Iphones in HK are unlocked already [...]

McDonalds HK version

Published by under food,Hong Kong,restaurants

Holler from HK! It’s 13 degrees Celsius outside, we weren’t able to anticipate that it will be this cold. Brrrr… It’s our third day and boy, my legs hurt! One highlight of this trip is we’re able to find Tim Ho Wan, the Michelin starred hole-in-the-wall dimsum place in Mongkok. Hopefully, we can also eat [...]

A new camera for the photoholic and videoholic

Published by under gadgets,Hong Kong,shopping

How many digital cameras do you own? First, we only had one simple digital camera, a Canon Powershot that’s still working and we gave it to my sister-in-law. Jeff had his DSLR, a Nikon D80, which I rarely (never) because it’s so heavy and I don’t know how to use the manual mode. The Panasonic [...]

Happiness inside the Bag of Beans

Published by under food,restaurants

It’s a pre-Valentine’s weekend, and like I said before, I’m not a fan of V-day. But Jeff asked me to spend the weekend atop the mountain (Mt. Batulao) and in the cool breezy Tagaytay. It’s been more than a year since my last climb, why not? And so we had a day hike at Mt. [...]

Location-specific ads at AyosDito.ph

Published by under Web finds

Have you ever searched for something for sale in the internet, found it to be available but when you looked for its location, it’s located in a far-flung place that it’s impossible for you to go to? Such is the case of other online listings but AyosDito.ph is different, you can search for listings at [...]

Manny Pacquiao house shown in MTV Cribs

Published by under Web finds

Manny Pacquaio’s house in Los Angeles was featured in MTV Cribs. I felt proud upon seeing Manny Pacquiao in this US show, and his humility still shows as he toured the crew inside the house. He deserves all the luxury he owns and enjoying right now. I wonder who designed his house, very modern. I [...]

Fastfood delivery hotline numbers in Metro Manila

Published by under food,restaurants

I’ve been a stay-at-home-mom (SAHM) since my maternity leave, and one thing I miss is the food trips I have with Jeff after office hours. My food cravings will be immediately satisfied because we can always drive at any restaurant at whim. But being at home, I can only dream and salivate over delicious foods [...]

Max’s it is

Published by under personal,restaurants

I’ve been busy looking for restaurants, caterers and venues near Malate Catholic Church for Gwen’s christening. My original plan is to rent the church’s function hall and then have a catering service. But with this plan, I still have to look for different suppliers for invitations, cakes and baptismal souvenirs. I don’t think I can [...]
