Google Gravity Rocks!
Posted on Sep 19, 2011 09:19:56 AM
I was browsing topics for a single bowl undermount sinks assignment yesterday when I came across a friend’s post on Facebook:
1) Go to Google, and type ” Google Gravity ”.
2) Click on the 1st result that appears i.e. Google Gravity
3) Wait for 2 seconds. Something cool will happen!
4) Play with it for a while.
5) Then write any word in the Google search bar and press Enter.
6) Wait and see. Something even cooler will happen. 
and it was really, really, really cool! Go try it!
Proud Employee of Yellowduck, Ltd.
Posted on Mar 30, 2011 12:38:34 PM
First week of March 2011 I got hired as the corporate blogger for Bling Duck, a brand of Yellowduck, Ltd. Our company’s office is based in HongKong but we get to work here as freelancers! Dunno though if we’re going to stay in Duck vacation homes when we’re there, kidding! 
The pay is also good and my bosses are very supportive so I’m quite lucky, eh?
Bling Duck is a flip flop brand. It’s a trendy, seriously fun – perfect for urban professionals. It’s still to be released in the market so we’re doing everything to promote the product.

Going Back to Reading
Posted on Dec 7, 2010 02:23:13 PM
My first love has always been reading. When I was younger, I would read everything at home, from newspapers, books, novels to prescription papers. I am a book worm and I’ll carry it to my grave hehe
This coming 2011, I have vowed to go back to reading and in fact I already have a list to start my 2011. Original plan is to read at least 4 books in a month, let’s see if it pushes through
Reading can be very, very addictive but it’s quite expensive too!

Let’s Talk about Blogging
Posted on Nov 29, 2010 05:26:29 PM
I can’t believe it! Tomorrow, at exactly 2PM, I’ll be delivering a talk about blogging, it’s kinds and the importance of niches. This would be my first talk about blogging so I’m kinda’ scared, really.
For one, I still have pimples, the battle still hasn’t ended but I have no time and money for acne treatments these days. Second, I am not ready. We were informed just a few days ago and topics were given only yesterday. Third, I’m just plainly scared.
Wish me luck! Will post pictures of the event tomorrow =)
Missing My Blogging Life
Posted on Nov 14, 2010 10:10:29 PM
I am missing blogging. I am missing my blogging friends. I am missing blogger events.
I miss everything =(
The past few weeks, my routine was school-supplier-home. I send my daughter everyday to school, go to the baking supply suppliers (Hello CL fans! they’ve changed their store layout yay! The cashiers are now wide enough to accommodate panicky buyers. I just hope that they would add more barcode scanner though) to get some stuff and go home to bake.
You may see me around the metro delivering orders but that’s it! I can no longer attend events or go out with friends because my schedule is quite stiff.
Food Trip Friday: Fondant Overload
Posted on Jul 3, 2010 10:46:20 PM
Hubby and I just finished our very first fondant order. Ms. Aaliyah requested for “Casino Themed” cupcakes hence the suits, dice, mahjong and dominoes toppers.
The base of both cake and cupcakes are chocolate with vanilla buttercream filling and marshmallow fondant toppers.
I would say that “not bad for a first timer” and gives my hubby 2 thumbs up for a job well done! We handcrafted the toppers together so I could say that all were made with love, love, love and more love
The bad part with having a business like this? Sugar Overload!
I don’t like seeing myself sick, more so with an IV or pulse oximeter so “no”, I’ll stop eating fondant now hehe

Food Trip Friday: Native Bibingka from Visayas
Posted on Jun 18, 2010 11:32:38 AM
Just imagine my excitement when I discovered that one of the desserts in our Loboc River Buffet was my favorite Bibingka from Visayas!
The bibingka from Visayas and Mindanao is different from the ones I’ve tasted in Luzon. I guess it’s because it doesn’t use flour but galapong and buko juice. Some even use mild tuba (fermented cocunut juice) which makes it even tastier.

GR: What’s Inside My Vanity Kit?
Posted on Jun 10, 2010 12:47:01 PM
I just got home from our Leyte – Bohol – Leyte escapade so my mind is still not working properly 
But because I love Girl’s Rule’s memes (and of course I know they love me, too!), here I am joining this week’s topic: What’s Inside My Vanity Kit?
I bring all these on my bag except when my pouch’s too small for all my kikay stuff. I usually carry a demin kikay purse but since we spent the whole week in Leyte and Bohol’s wonderful beaches, I brought along Yona’s plastic handy bag for my kakikayan.
You’ll find the following in my vanity kit:
- Comb
- Tiny Scrunchie
- Hand Sanitizers (for kids & one from Echo Store Body Basics)
- Lipsticks in various shades
- Lipbalms
- Lip Tint
- Barbie perfume
- Nail polish bottles
- Garnier Facial Wash
- Garnier Moisturizer
- Facial Cleanser
- Lotion
- L’oreal White Perfect Pearl Foundation
Am I vain? I think I’m not
When I was younger, my vanity kit was bigger than my bag. I have all sorts of stuff on my pouch, including a bottle of alcohol, first aid kit, packets of biguerlai tea for weight loss, lots of pens (does it count?) and extra hankies!
How about you, what’s inside your vanity kit?
Tuesday Couch Potatoes: And I Love You So…
Posted on Jun 1, 2010 11:58:33 AM
This is my first time to join the Tuesday Couch Potatoes meme so I am giddy-happy!
My husband and I are not couch potatoes because our daughter owns the couch, the DVD player and television so we have no in-house movie dates ever since the little girl learned about the term “ownership”. So our only option is to watch movies on my laptop or his desktop. 
Moving on, TCP’s theme this week is all about movies with titles that start with Letter A. The first movie that came to my mind was “And I Love You So…”, a beautiful movie featuring my favorite actress Bea Alonzo and my exes Sam Milby and Derek Ramsay (oh okay, I’m still half asleep haha).
Seriously, the movie is about a young widow Lara who lost her husband of 5 months Oliver (played by Derek Ramsay). After 7 months of mourning, she was still not positive that she can go on living without her husband Oliver. That’s when she met Chris (Sam Milby) a rocker who rented her condominium whom she fell in love with.
And I love you so is a movie about young love, great love, pure love, respect, letting go, moving on, etc. It will move you and will make you think of how you can handle the situation if you were on Lara’s shoes.
I love this movie so much that I always have a copy on my drive so I can watch it over and over again. Watch the full trailer here and see for yourself
