Being a mom, I started to be more particular with the foods we eat at home. I often prefer to buy organic foods for our monthly groceries. I got myself educated with the GMOs, the value of going organic and choosing healthier options for my family. So I was excited to be invited to Quan Fa Organic Farm. We often just see the organic produce in our grocery stores. It was good to check out how they are planned and harvested before they end up in the grocery. So even if I am living in the East and … [Read more...]
MY BLOGGING JOURNEY IN RETROSPECT
I have always love writing since I was young, which stems from my love of reading books. I always own a diary where I enjoyed jotting down things that happened to me on that day, though my penmanship would turn into undecipherable scribbles because my thoughts were faster than my hands. When I was in medical school, there was a time when I thought of making excerpts of my day; my thoughts on this book or that movie or my indulgent daydream of pretending I was in a New York by creating … [Read more...]
BOOK OF THE MONTH: THE LIFE-CHANGING MAGIC OF TIDYING BY MARIE KONDO

RAISING KIDS ABROAD WITHOUT THE VILLAGE
They say, it takes a village to raise a child." What if there is no village to help you? Back in the Philippines, raising a child seems easier with the whole barangay willing to give you a helping hand.

Work hours and proximity of work place to home are conducive … [Read more...]
A NIGHT OF LES MISERABLES
I have always loved Musicals. I grew up with my mom, introducing me & my siblings to The Orphan Annie, Sound of Music, The King & I, etc. I grew up in the time when Lea Salonga was chosen as the lead role of Kim in the Broadway Musical, Miss Saigon. Every little girl like me wants to be like her when they grow up. I knew all the songs in that play. Lea Salonga was my ultimate idol! If I wasn't going to be doctor, I wanted to be a Broadway performer. In school, I got lead … [Read more...]
