8 Things to Know About Liam

10.24.2018 by Leah // Leave a Comment

My favourite nephew turned 8 years old last October 18, and I took some days off from work to fly to Cebu for his birthday weekend.  The weekend celebration happened at Jpark Island Resort & Waterpark - a 5-star family destination with sprawling water complex - doing the thing that Liam loves most: swimming!  The last time we had this kind of getaway was in 2014 when we ...

Crazy Rich Emerald Ring

10.07.2018 by Leah // Leave a Comment

I'm one of those excited to see 'Crazy Rich Asians' the movie because I've read the book, and I can just imagine how spectacular and well, crazy, it would look on the big screen! Glad to say that the movie did not disappoint.  It was beautifully made, and every scene was filled with colorful and 'branded' details (hehe!) that I had to watch it again for details I may have ...

Nailed It! Momofuku Milk Bar’s Crack Pie

08.20.2018 by Leah // Leave a Comment

Something good finally came out of my binge-watching Netflix!  We made our first Crack Pie and just like that, it's now our instant favorite! I first learned about the Crack Pie when I watched an an episode at Chef's Table featuring Christina Tosi (of the Milk Bar fame) and there she made kwento about how the Crack Pie came to be.   It was just something she made out of the ...

Food Trip Container Yard in Gensan

07.28.2018 by Leah // Leave a Comment

I was in General Santos City (or simply "Gensan") last week for work, and it's also my first time to be in this city known for being the "Tuna Capital of the Philippines", and for giving us Manny Pacquiao. Unfortunately, our schedule was packed and we have no time to tour much of the city.  But I was surprised and happy to find Gensan so urbanized, which means that the city ... READ MORE

Ribchon at Tagaytay

06.22.2018 by Leah // 1 Comment

Ribchon is our newest food discovery in Tagaytay, and now when I think of lechon I crave for their Baby Back Baboy! The Baby Back Baboy is Ribchon's version of lechon, but here they used baby back ribs so there's less fat and the finger-licking goodness of baby back ribs is there with a delightful lechon twist! We ordered the Half-Rack (good for 2-3 persons) in ... READ MORE

Chogokin x Hello Kitty Action Figure

06.17.2018 by Leah // Leave a Comment

My brother is a big collector of Japan-made robots, and for my birthday last year he surprised me with this limited edition Banda Tamashii Nations Chogokin Hello Kitty (the blue version). I didn't know that Hello Kitty now comes in action figure, hehe!  It's so cool, and the fact that I can play with it is a big plus!  It's definitely an adult toy because of the tiny ... READ MORE

Ken Samudio’s Matthew and Melka

06.15.2018 by Leah // Leave a Comment

Sometime last May, I went to a Matthew and Melka private trunk show and there I was able to see and try the much talked about Fleur de Lis floral earrings that literally started the earring buzz here in Manila. The brand Matthew and Melka was created by Ken Samudio, an accessories designer who is the first Filipino to be selected by Vogue Italia as one of the Vogue ... READ MORE

To My Father By Georgia Harkness A giant pine, ma To My Father
By Georgia Harkness

A giant pine, magnificent and old
Stood staunch against the sky and all around
Shed beauty, grace and power.
Within its fold birds safely reared their young.
The velvet ground beneath was gentle,
and the cooling shade gave cheer to passers by.
Its towering arms a landmark stood, erect and unafraid,
As if to say, “Fear naught from life’s alarms”.
It fell one day.
Where it had dauntless stood was loneliness and void.
But men who passed paid tribute – and said,
“To know this life was good,
It left it’s mark on me. Its work stands fast”.
And so it lives. Such life no bonds can hold –
This giant pine, magnificent and old.

To our shelter and safety while he lived, we miss you so much.
Happy 2nd Year in Heaven, Daddy ❤
