Coping during the COVID-19 Outbreak in the Philippines

This is a hard time not only for us Filipinos, but throughout the world. There are much more cases in other countries such as Italy.

Some people call this virus outbreak a “blessing” for various reasons such as less pollution, the opportunity to bond with family, the perfect chance to learn new skills at home… I know that these people are only trying to look at the bright side of things as…

What I like about Japan

What I like about Japan

I’m blessed to be able to set foot on Japan again. Yay! Our first two days have been tiring, and today I can take it easy so I will take the time to write about our trip so far.

A moment after visiting some areas in Tokyo, I realized that it’s easy for me to feel comfortable here despite not understanding and not being able to speak the language. 😅 It’s probably because Japanese people always…

How to reorder checkbook from BPI

How to reorder checkbook from BPI

BPI used to be my favorite bank but the quality of service has degraded over the years.

I felt [initially] relieved to find out that I could reorder a checkbook from BPI online, because it will save time since I don’t need to go to a BPI branch anymore. But of course, the online checkbook reorder of BPI does not work, at least currently as I write this article.

After entering my One-Time…

Flavours by Vana's Makati - a casual place to enjoy authentic Indian food

Flavours by Vana’s Makati – a casual place to enjoy authentic Indian food

It was a hot day but we had to walk around Bangkal, Makati because we need to look for a space for rent. We had one loft unit viewing in the morning before lunch, and then a 1-bedroom unit viewing after lunch. My husband was craving for Indian food for lunch, and a quick Google search led us to Flavours by Vana’s which is an Indian restaurant situated along Mojica Street corner Osmeña Avenue.

Wrapped up summer with Swimjunkie Challenge VIP Lobo Open Water Race 2019

Rain… ☔🌧️ This is what we have now most of the time this month of August. A person who likes sunshine and beach such as me should be feeling down because of how the rainy season has come to end summertime, but not this year!

I already feel satisfied with the summertime, because me and my hubby (my adventure BFF!) just had our best summer so far:

We went to various Batangas beaches to…

SkinStation Diode Laser Underarm Hair Removal – REVIEW

I just came home from SkinStation Glorietta 5 branch for my first session of Diode Laser for permanent reduction of underarm hair. Why am I doing this? Because I swim a lot and wish to spend less time worrying about my armpit hair! 🤣

TL;DR: Everything went smoothly and I liked the SkinStation staff, except that they are requiring clients to buy their Infladerm cream which is to be used for…

Self-reflection: the difficulty in explaining oneself

Self-reflection: the difficulty in explaining oneself

I remember having to work with someone before who often speaks vaguely, then gets mad when the person he is talking to doesn’t understand what he means. Let’s call him Mister A. Those days when he threw a fit were very stressful days of my life.

The past few weeks I have been interacting with more people due to lifestyle changes. I noticed that I feel so upset when I fail to get my point…

GCash Customer Service Sucks; Does it even exist?

GCash Customer Service Sucks; Does it even exist?

I run a small baked-per-order goodsbusiness and many of my customers wanted to pay in GCash so granted them their wish to make payment more convenient. Prior to this, we used to accept bank transfer/deposit only, but when my husband showed me that he could cash-out money from his GCash account by sending it to his bank account, I knew we could make the business work with GCash because I’ll just…

SkinStation: Laser Diode for Underarms – PREPARATION

Occasionally, I do kikay stuff too! Swimming is something I got into recently, and frequently being in swimsuit, swimming the front crawl stroke which often exposes the armpits, prompts me to keep the underarms hair-free… as much as possible. 😆 For a few months I turned to waxing at Lay-Bare but talking to girl friends made me learn about “laser diode” treatment to permanently reduce(not…

Samsung Galaxy S8 stuck on model name screen / SM Megamall SAMSUNG Service Center

One afternoon, I was playing an “action” game on my Samsung Galaxy S8 when the phone suddenly froze — no button responded to my presses, whether it’s a soft button or hard button, with the motionless screen of my game still on display. After a few seconds, the phone turned off. I noticed that my phone was very HOT! I thought maybe I zeroed out its battery so I tried charging it… nope, it wasn’t…
