What men have to say about (Pinay) women

June 22, 2005 ·

Because am an egalitarian bitch (babe in total control of herself), it's only fair that we give men the chance to air their gripes about us. Gather a roomful of men, give them beer and chips, and here's what they'll have to answer about post below:1. They take an eternity dressing up.2. They take an eternity putting on make-up.3. They take an eternity to shop.4. When they shop, they like everything they see.5. They're so beauty-conscious.6. They've tried every beauty product/hair treatment/slimming pill on the market.7. They are perpetually on a diet.8. Pero may bilbil ... Continue Reading...

Men-Bashing on Father’s Day (updated)

June 19, 2005 ·

1. They forget appointments.2. They don't notice your haircut.3. They leave their socks lying around.4. They can be so obsessive-compulsive about keeping things in their proper place.5. They are more figure- and beauty-conscious than you.6. They eat only fresh banana and muesli for breakfast.7. They have the guts to say: "I think you should get a liposuction."8. They eat like a pig.9. They snore.10. All they do is watch television.11. They gawk at women with big breasts.12. They laugh at women with big breasts and no butt.13. Admittedly, they are more tsismoso than ... Continue Reading...

Love and all that jazz

January 19, 2005 ·

My friend Gay says I should watch Under the Tuscan Sun. Short of saying that it befits me, she says that it's about a writer (Diane Lane) who's had a string of failed relationships and then meets her very own Prince Charming who lived with her happily ever after.Of course I can only give Gay my traditional eyeroll. At this point in time, am not really the most rabid disciple of love. The last time I thought I fell in love, I was 90 per cent sure it wasn't. I was just in love with the idea of being in love and all its thousand possibilities. But human nature has its ... Continue Reading...

How To Get A Date Without Really Trying

January 19, 2005 ·

I texted American Lawyer on impulse last Saturday. He's supposed to be a milestone in my dating calendar since I hadn't met him through a chatroom, Friendster, blind date or my usual circle of acquaintances. He just sort of came up from behind me while I was in a computer store and gave me his calling card, like a casting agent would. It turned out we were almost neighbors. Me : I am so bored and you are such a Republican snob. Him: Hi! I just got back from L.A. I am bored too. An RX would be a live jazz session at Monk's Dream or dancing at Vmar? ...

Net illusions

September 5, 2004 ·

My online friend Paul, a surfer from Hawaii in search of an Asian woman to settle down with, is aghast at the fact that he keeps on falling for fag hags in cyberspace.He doesn't know it until somebody tells him they are.Paul tells me the first time, the girl he was seriously chatting with, turned up on this site.Last week, he excitedly tells me, there's a new girl he's fond of who comes from Southern Philippines and "is really good-looking."He sends me the pics (I am glad to be a juror of his choices)and as soon as it downloads, I study it and say ...

Sometimes I miss the cuisine of Singapore and Mala Sometimes I miss the cuisine of Singapore and Malaysia. Am glad there are restaurants in the city whenever I get intense #Asianfood cravings. Roti Shop in Rockwell is one of them #notsponsored.

Over the weekend, I convinced my friend Maricel to try the cendol (iced dessert similar to halo-halo) and the #roti paratha with curry sauce. And of course, who doesn't love Hainanese chicken rice and white coffee? 💯💕😋

If there's a member of my family who stayed the most time indoors during this #lockdown, it's my youngest Lucia. It's good she hasn't complained at all. When talking to her, am glad she only has the nicest recollection of our last trip a year ago in Taiwan. We went ahead with our flight even though there was already fear of the virus then.

My daughter is a picky eater, but I noticed when traveling, she is more adventurous with food. We  always have fun going through our Taiwan photo album and recalling the nice hostel we stayed in, the perfectly crunchy fried chicken and all those #memories. It certainly helps tide me through the sadness of the present

I swear I normally don't wear mini skirts (especially at this age 😃). But I guess it's true that people do things they don't usually do.... when #traveling ✈️🏯⛩️ We have to look special for our #ootd

P.S. I get sentimental looking at my #travel photos **sniff

We all know that we should practice proper hand hy We all know that we should practice proper hand hygiene to avoid getting sick. I have been doing this whenever I go out for errands. Thankfully, I have been healthy and not sick for a single day.  This only means that we really need to make handwashing a part of our lifestyle in the new normal, along with constant disinfection, wearing face masks and face shields and following social distancing protocols in common public areas.

Am glad there is a brand like Green Cross with a complete line of products to keep bacteria and viruses away. I always have #CleanHandsWithGreenCross anywhere I go. It's a good thing they have a handy alcohol and hand sanitizer which I always keep in my bag. And the whole family uses Green Cross Germ-Protection Soap which not only kills 99.9% of germs but also smells so good!

#life update: two of my kids are now living indepe #life update: two of my kids are now living independently and as a result of a more compact family, we no longer depend on a maid. This is a dedication post to my oldest daughter Dionne for being the rock I can count on. She's taking on more responsibilities these days with nary a complaint. I make sure I treat her once a week like ordering something online or buying her favorite cake. This Sunday found us having a mini-picnic outside eating the Acqua Pazza I cooked (poached fish in wine) and drinking Welch's Sparkling Rose. Not as fancy as fine dining, but it's always the little things that matter 💗💜🍇🍒🍹🥤

The ongoing pandemic has made moms like me more me The ongoing pandemic has made moms like me more meticulous about our family's health and hygiene. Am not the OC type but even a non-OC like me resolved to be careful and take extra precautions 😯😄

Zonrox products can kill the COVID-19 virus that's why I made sure we stocked on their products. I have been using my newest supermarket discovery, Zonrox Multi Clean in disinfecting high-touch surfaces. I love its fresh, long-lasting scent! 💗

Then I have my usuals, Zonrox Bleach Original and Zonrox Colorsafe to make our #laundry super clean and disinfected! These are staple items in my pantry which I can't live without!

We #DisinfectWithZonrox because an ounce of prevention is always better than a pound of cure. Let’s remember to always show our MALASAKIT to others because #TheVirusEndsWithUs!

Happy Year of the Ox to all my family, friends and business contacts 😊㊙️ Sharing this photo of the entrance to Manila's Chinatown. Existing since the 1500s, did you know this is the oldest #Chinatown in the world? It's always a delight to visit because of the #delicious food and bargain shopping finds 🧡 #Binondo #Ongpin #Manila #sinopinas #asia #philippines #culturetrip
My son, my unico hijo, finally graduated from coll My son, my unico hijo, finally graduated from college (he was delayed by a year). You can just imagine how happy and relieved I was. For his birthday today, I slaved away in the kitchen to serve #homemade treats to the son and his friends. The highlight was the Aussie rib eye steak ordered from @sebastiansbutcherbox . I served it in  two ways - with marbled potatoes and over alfredo pasta. I thought I overcooked the meat  but it still turned out amazingly flavorful and tender. It made everyone's day definitely! 🥩♨️💯

Moms like me have two main priorities right now: e Moms like me have two main priorities right now: ensuring the health of our family and saving up for the "uncertain" future. Personally,  am always on the lookout for products that bring the most value for money, especially when it comes to grocery shopping. 

It's a good thing I discovered the new Champion by Energen. It's only 8 pesos per 35g pack and is fortified with essential vitamins, iodine, folic acid and calcium. It also has egg, which is a good source of protein.

My youngest Lucia loves its #delicious taste but as an adult, I dig it too because it tastes exactly like #hotchocolate 🍩🍫🥤🧡💯

Do you appreciate being in your own country? I do. Do you appreciate being in your own country? I do. I love being in a tropical country where I don't have to work my arse off to pay high taxes. I do work so hard now to earn good money so I can afford state-of-the-art health insurance  and not  depend on a measly state pension.

Call me stupid for staying in good old #Pilipinas 🇵🇭💗However, migrating just to be an "ordinary worker" somewhere else may no longer be applicable in this borderless world. Am not saying NO to moving in the future, but it should be a place where I can fall in love with the culture, has cheap real estate and won't kill me with taxes left and right. Other countries in the #world are simply overrated 🌎✈️
