While almost everyone was on a vacation for the Holy Week, my family and I decided to just have a nice, quiet, and restful time staying at home. Because there was no school or work for the week-long holiday, we thought it would be a good opportunity for us to enjoy some fun activities indoors …
Some people think that Valentine’s Day is just another cheesy holiday, but not me. I love Valentine’s Day! I think it’s the perfect excuse to go overboard with the hearts, the color pink, and… well, love! Last year, Mike and I had a post-Valentine’s lunch at Nikkei, a Japanese-Peruvian restaurant. But this year, we decided …
In contrast to our quiet New Year’s Eve celebration last year, our send-off for 2021 was buzzing with party music, disco lights, and lots of chit-chatting and laughter. For one, my mother-in-law flew from Australia to Manila in the middle of the pandemic to spend the holidays with us. Also, my sister Alexa just got …
Would you believe that we just finished taking down all our holiday decorations today?! Yes, we’re nearing the end of January but Andi kept refusing to dismantle our Christmas tree! Whenever I would tell her that it’s time to pack it away, she would plead: “No, Mama! You can’t put away the Christmas tree. Just …
My sister and I are both February babies and our birthdays are only 3 days apart, so we’ve always celebrated together. Normally, we would go somewhere nice for dinner with our family, but because we’re trying to stay as safe as possible these days, we just opted to have our joint party at my mom’s …

Looking for superb but reasonably priced sushi and sashimi — especially shake (salmon sashimi) — can sometimes be a bit of a …
Can you feel the heat? We know we can and it is sizzling HOT! Summer is now here and in the middle of all the sweltering heat, Salmon HQ has the perfect summer food for you: their famous Salmon Sashimi Cake and Tuna Sashimi Cake. Not only is salmon good for the heart but salmon …
Love is in the air, but so is Covid! Hence, Mike and I decided that we would avoid the crowds and celebrate AFTER February 14 instead. We went out THREE DAYS AFTER Valentine’s Day — on a WEEKDAY — and it turned out to be a smart (and safe!) move. We had our post-Valentine’s lunch …
Hey, lovelies! Hearts Day is coming up, and for sure, most of you are looking for ideas on the sweetest V-day gifts for your loved ones. And if you’re planning on having a date at home instead of braving the traffic (oh, and yes, the virus!), you’re also probably searching for the best food to …
Happy New Year, everyone!!! What a crazy year that was, huh? I bet you all couldn’t wait to say “Good riddance, 2020!” I hope your New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day celebration was a BLAST, fireworks or no fireworks! As for me, Mike, Andi, we just had a small, simple, and quiet dinner at …
