Sometimes it's not always easy to make time to go catch up with friends, or even muster up enough energy to do so. All the reason I cherish the quality time I spend with friends. Last week, my friends and I attended our first Paint Nite at Pinocchio's in Pasadena. Essentially Paint Nite is a two-hour … Continue reading Paint Nite at Pinocchio’s

Where did 2016 go?
2016 came and went faster than any other year of my existence. In 2016, I started a new chapter of my life that has been filled with challenge after challenge after challenge. But in more ways than one, it has been incredibly rewarding. What may come easy to others has required much more from me. … Continue reading Where did 2016 go?
Random Thought of the Day
There are very few things in life that people can't take away from you, one of which is knowledge. Always remain teachable. Even when you feel you may know everything there is left to know about life, stay teachable. It'll be your greatest asset till you're gray and old. You'll thank yourself. But unfortunately there … Continue reading Random Thought of the Day
Pens, Pens, Pens
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. I haven't done that since I was in grade school, so it … Continue reading Rose Parade 2016 Showcase of Floats
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
2016 New Year’s Resolutions
It's a new year and I'm so ready to take the bull by its horns! I made the decision last year that I'd make resolutions that are more realistic, will help me out in the long run, and are things I won't bargain with to break. Resolutions: Go to Church every Sunday Lose 20 pounds Go … Continue reading 2016 New Year’s Resolutions
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
