TVolution Stick: The “Magic Wand” to a Game-Changing Digital Experience

01.11.2016 by Leah // 2 Comments

As a PLDT HOME user for more than 5 years now (it’s our broadband internet provider), you could say that my interest in this new innovation launched by PLDT HOME and global technology giant Microsoft is really more on the consumer’s side.  And when I learned that the new device will enable me to transform our HDMI-ready TV into a fully-functional PC – the more it piqued my ...

A big thanks to my Facebook friends for sharing this awesome video! I've watched it 5x already, and that's just for today!

Dino and I treasured for years this Nintendo Family Computer which we got as ... READ MORE

Jacobo the Heartbreak Kid

02.13.2013 by Leah // Leave a Comment

This video is so cute - perfect for Valentine's Day! http://youtu.be/xvDOiFv6dac The video was shot at different SM Supermalls and being a frequent shopper there, me wonders how I would react if Jacobo singled me out and handed me a stem of rose.    I will probably smother him with kisses right there and then! Happy Hearts' Day, dear readers!   ... READ MORE

10.31.2011 by Leah // Leave a Comment

Happy Halloween! It's also my mom's birthday (Happy Birthday, mami!) but we're going to celebrate it next week instead because she is in Cebu right now. Back when we were young, the thing that we look forward to during Halloweens would be Noli de Castro's "Magandang Gabi, Bayan" Halloween specials.   Me and my brother, as well as our cousins who would sometimes sleep over at ...

9 months ago this feisty little cat we named Gigi 9 months ago this feisty little cat we named Gigi came to us super dirty (gusgusin to the max), malnourished and is in bad need of treatment for worms and fleas. Who would've thought that she will bloom into a really pretty cat, with salmon-colored nose, beautiful doe eyes, a prominent white hair scarf, and powdery white cheeks. 

But she is very far from innocent, and is now feared by the male cats here twice her size because she is #GigitheCatBully pala 😅 

Happy 9th monthsary, Gigi Ganda 🥰

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 ❤
