What on Earth spurred a blog post about pens? Well, this week there were some really great sales at Office Depot and Staples on pens. Not quite sure if it's National Pen Week but the bargains were too hard to resist. I thought it'd be kind of fun to share my all-time favorite pens, counting down to … Continue reading Pens, Pens, Pens
First Big Thrill of 2016
As you know, I spent New Year's Day in Las Vegas. After spending hours in the dry, cold streets of Las Vegas my lips were getting super dry and chapped. It's such a pain in the butt to keep pulling out my EOS Lip Balm in Sweet Mint when you're all bundled up. So what I … Continue reading First Big Thrill of 2016
Penny A Day Savings Challenge
I've never been the best at saving money, but then again I'm pretty frugal. I won't spend a ton of money on something I can get at a discount. A few days ago I saw on Instagram a couple of different challenges in order to save money this 2016. The one I decided to take … Continue reading Penny A Day Savings Challenge
Rose Parade 2016 Showcase of Floats
I can't believe we're already in the third week of 2016. 2015 is starting to feel so far away...not much really. When we got from Vegas after New Year's Day, we headed over to Pasadena to view the floats from the Rose Parade.

New Year’s Day in Las Vegas, NV
After spending New Year's in Vegas a few years back, I vowed to never do New Year's there again. However, my mom wanted to get away from Los Angeles for the New Year and, of course, Vegas is always her first choice. Las Vegas on New Year's Day is not my scene whatsoever. The big … Continue reading New Year’s Day in Las Vegas, NV

It's a new year and I'm so ready to take the bull by its horns!

Resolutions: Go to Church every Sunday Lose 20 pounds Go … Continue reading 2016 New Year’s Resolutions
#BLESSED
During the holiday season, you're bound to encounter people who are feeling extra blessed or feeling down because of various reasons like being away from family during the holidays. The past four Christmases haven't been the same since my Lola passed away in 2011. My parents and I either have to make the extra effort to … Continue reading #BLESSED
The Love Story of Popoy and Basha
To Filipinos, the Philippine film industry is well-known for one of two things: great comedies and romantic dramas. It's no surprise that my top three Filipino movies are romantic dramas ("Labs Kita, Okey Ka Lang? (1998)", "Dahil Mahal Na Mahal Kita (1998)" and "One More Chance (2007)"). In 2007 we were introduced to the love … Continue reading The Love Story of Popoy and Basha

Food Overload – Thanksgiving 2015
During a time where there is so much devastation going on around the world, it can be sort of difficult to find things to be thankful for. This year I'd like to keep it simple: I'm thankful for my family & friends and the privilege to live the life I live. Yesterday was Thanksgiving in … Continue reading Food Overload – Thanksgiving 2015
