It has been almost a month ago since I blogged about the handmade notepad I made.
When I was too excited to make these, I used small tools to make the notepads. Good thing we have these because from time to time, or when inspiration strikes, I do some crafts. The following were the things I used to make these:
- cutter for the colored papers
- scissors to trim the sides of the cut papers
- glue
- stickers and scrap-booking embellishments
- one hole puncher for the ring
- one-inch and half an inch rings, depending on how many papers to be used Continue Reading »

Are you a directionally challenged navigator? Do you point to the left and say right? Do you point to the right and say left? Do get “lost” when looking at a street map so you want to get that latest gps map installed in your car?
Thank God for visual signs like a McDonald’s or a convenience store at the corner street where you’re supposed to turn left. Or was it right?
Rotundas or roundabouts feel like that spinning wheel the gerbils are playing on, it goes round and round to you and it feels like you can’t find the street where you are supposed to have exited after going around 4 times. or was it six?
Don’t worry, it is not bad to stop and ask for directions.
If in doubt, ask.
Left or right? Don’t ask me, I’m lost too 😉

When my son had his turn to report in front of his class last year, he wanted to bring a laptop with him for presentation. I had to say “NO” because I wanted him to do “manual preparations”. I helped him prepare by choosing pictures to print for a mini-album.
We didn’t have enough time to have poster printing so he had to write the important concepts in his report in several big brown papers called “Manila papers” which his classmates taped on the writing boards. See a blog post about the report here.
Hubby helped by buying souvenir items as well as food samplers for the classmates to have. These items were a big hit!
Much as I wanted the children to use technology in their studies, doing the low tech and manual labor way would not make them none the wiser.

I’m ready for summer with my new pair of Dupé flipflops! The pair below is Dupé Chique. Woot!
I love the way this pair feels on my feet. The Dupe slippers has fish scale pattern on the sole for better flexibility. The new logo is on the sole and strap of each of the pair. It is 100% rubber.
The heel massager is pure bliss because it gives me a feeling of cushion.
This particular Dupé has Gel XHP which means H = high comfort, X = expanded fully sealed coating for better flexibility and the use of P = Penta polymer material for durability.
Why should you get a pair of Dupé slippers? Continue Reading »

With the country abuzz about the apparent suicide death by gunshot wound of a former cabinet member and Armed Forces chief of staff, we tend to go over what has transpired through the years prior to him and other high-raking military officials being charged with corruption.
I wrote this in FB:
“while we feel sad for the family of the late Angie Reyes and wish the media will give them privacy to grieve for him, there are still questions that need answers, truth that need to come out, people who are accountable to corruption charges and we can’t ignore these”
Was this the easy way out? How can he clear his name now? Amidst the grief and shock, the nation is divided with how the situation will proceed from this day on.
These men are exceptional, no doubt about it.
The higher-ups are nervous by the investigation.
It is however not mind-boggling how they came to be: swimming in thousands or dollars and living the high life with homes in America using money meant to be for the poor, hungry, wearing old shoes, using old arms and flying flying coffins much, much older military planes soldiers.
One of the wives even wrote: Continue Reading »
