About Me

A loving wife to Jed.

Full time mother to Javi. 

A Filipino living in Bangkok, Thailand. I am enjoying every minute of our stay here. Sometimes I think I am enjoying myself too much.

Born in Bulacan and has lived in Manila, and Cebu. 

I did leave a part of my heart in the Philippines. 

It will always be home.

Philippines is home

I am fighting homesickness as I miss my family in Bulacan and the friends back home and those around the globe.

I promise to read more books this year. Thanks to my Kindle app, I am actually reading more. My recent favorites are The Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins and The Purpose-Driven Life by Rick Warren. 

My husband and I used to be movie junkies. Date nights would always be watching movies. Now that we have our son, we rely on DVDs and movies via iPad or cable TV. Our new favorite is The King's Speech.

I also love watching American TV series. The series I follow are: Glee, The Good Wife, Gossip Girl, Grey's Anatomy, Modern Family, Parks & Recreation and Top Chef. 

My favorites: The Good Wife and Modern Family.

I used to listen to  rock music and my favorite bands are U2 and Cold Play. I still listen to them now but I discovered a different genre, Christian Rock. Hello, Hillsong United. And as I have a toddler, nursery rhymes continues to play all day.

I love to travel. And having a child does not change that. It is more challenging to travel though. My preference would always be a new destination over a place I have been to. 

The result of my love for travel, I am now collecting the 
Starbucks City Mugs 2008 series.

Eating good food is my passion. I love discovering new restaurants and finding dishes which would soon be a favorite. 

My ultimate favorite dish has to have crab in it. My eyes light up when I see a platter full of it. 

I am also a dessert person. I absolutely love cakes - those fluffy sponge cake with marshmallow icing. I prefer them over ice cream. 

I am now on a mission to drink good coffee. Thanks to the coffee press we received last Christmas, this is now possible. Oh, but Kopiko Brown coffee will always be a favorite.

I used to work for 11 years. It was a job I love. 


Now that I am a homemaker, I found out I love cooking. I continue to improve this skill as I cook meals for my two boys. One day, I will be baking cupcakes. But, we have to buy an oven first. This year, I will learn to poach an egg as eggs benedict is one of my favorite breakfast.

A current realization is I enjoy being a homemaker. I love keeping the house in order and organizing. Oh, I am an organizing nut. I have a system for everything. I may not be creative but I am developing that area.

Another realization is I want to learn desktop publishing. I am learning it bit by bit. I want to create posters, subway arts, and newsletter. I know this is a skill that will come handy in the future.  

I have been a Christian all my life but it has only been recently that I started a deeper relationship with God. I am a work in progress. I am blessed to be surrounded with people who are helping me with my walk.
