We were on our way home on Sunday evening. In a quiet section of Antipolo about 10 minutes from our house, there was a man walking in the middle of the street. My husband honked his horn but the man barely moved toward the [...]

Because only Alex and I use Macs in the house, and Sam has an MSI with a dual OS of Windows and Ubuntu, she says her dad will get her one of these.
Is it cool or what? But Microsoft Surface is rumored to cost US$10,000.00. I think Sam is dreaming.
The Microsoft Surface Parody is, [...]

I have two pairs of eyeglasses — one for medium distance (computer) and another for long distance (driving). I don’t need one for reading, go figure. Over the Christmas break, the screw that connects the left temple to the rim of my computer glasses got loose and fell off. I didn’t even notice until the [...]

Of course, I’ve heard about cloning. And what I know about cloning goes beyond The 6th Day.

Not since Murder One have I gotten this excited over a TV legal drama series. From the day I first saw the trailer of Damages on AXN, I memorized the date of the premiere. At 10.00 p.m. of January 8th, I tucked a very sick Sam in bed and set out to watch the pilot [...]

It isn’t normal for Sam to sleep for more than six or seven hours a day. She’s the kind of person who thinks she’s missing out on so much by sleeping. It isn’t normal for her not to eat heartily either. Sam has a healthy appetite and when she skips meals, I always know there’s [...]

You must have noticed that this blog runs ads from the Blogherads network. Pinoy Cook is also part of the network. But since Blogherads operate with “channels”, the rotating headlines (the links underneath the banner ads) here are different from those in Pinoy Cook, this blog being part of the parenting channel and Pinoy Cook [...]
