I have a very bad houseguest that overstayed it’s welcome but won’t leave just yet. Mr. Cough and Mrs. Colds decided to play tricks on my family and now we’re hacking, snorting and sneezing.
Since my kids can’t take cold medicines yet, I’m trying the Filipino approach to cold remedies that I remember my mom […]

V. de Leon of AJPress has a piece on the two types of Filipinos who go abroad - the global Pinoys or migrants, and the Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW) or expatriates.

I could have titled this as “Wordless Wednesday”, but decided against it. The story behind this picture needs to be told, and I could not wait for Christmas.
This is a typical Filipino Christmas Star Lantern, or Parol in Tagalog. It’s quiete easy to make, nothing to it, really. Circular frame, a few wires, colored crepe […]
It’s summer and it’s hot! What better way to cool down than with a generous serving of ice-cold Halo-halo?

Her husband, Ali, has gone on from this world, leaving her and their 2 young children behind. The […]

So my childhood memories of games were those of patintero, chinese garter, and pretending to be superheroes - Voltes 5, Mazinger Z and Super […]

Three years after being a first-time mom, and two kids later, here I am again. About to celebrate another mother’s day, about to be celebrated as a mother.
I was browsing through my first b5media blog (it’s my 2nd anniversary here as a blogger… actually I missed it for a couple of days already! - […]
