Originally, we wanted to have Rafael's baptism ceremony to be held at the UST Church (Santisimo Rosario Parish), where Ronnie and I got married in 2012. However, most Catholic churches in Metro Manila, including UST Church, require a baptism seminar for the godparents of the baby who will be receiving the sacrament. We honestly don't have anything against seminars like this but we...
Last Friday, I received an SMS from Health Authority Abu Dhabi (HAAD) saying that my son's vaccination is due. I cannot actually believe and I don't understand as well why they sent me such message because I knew my son's vaccines were up to date. I even checked his vaccination card and saw that our next appointment is supposed to be after his...
Image source: www.groupon.aeI've been here in Abu Dhabi for almost two years already but this was the only time I got the chance to dine in the famous Tiara Restaurant of the Burj Al Marina.

I was searching for something personalized, cute, useful, and of course, affordable. Theme cupcakes were actually cute, sweet, and sensible. However, as much as possible, I...
Last Friday morning, my family and I went to Corniche for a walk. It has been a few months already since we stopped our weekly walking exercise. It's not healthy not to do exercise, I know. I blame it all on the weather! The summer season here in the Middle East is just unbearable! It's hot, humid, and the temperature reaches beyond 40...
Today, I'm going to share with you my favorite breakfast meal here in Abu Dhabi. I know this post has been long overdue since we had our breakfast in Mirabel, but as promised, I'm going to give you a review of this cafe. Lips Cafe stands at the heart of Marina Mall with a casual outdoor seating theme. Its classic couches are...
A few days ago, my husband and I celebrated our second year wedding anniversary. It has been two wonderful years since our wedding day and I must say that my decision to marry Ronnie is one of the best things I've ever done in my entire lifetime. Those people who knew me personally might have found themselves surprised upon knowing about my wedding...
