I consider myself a practical shopper. As a mom who has to work on a certain budget, my nose is trained like a dog on scouting for good buys and I've already formulated my criteria on what to look out for when shopping for a product. Price is one consideration but there also has to be quality. What use is it to pay money on something which will not satisfy you or break down after a few weeks? When shopping for toiletries, I rely mostly on well-known brands. One of my favorite stores is Watsons because of the great deals and discounts they offer. I also get ... Continue Reading...

Tambayan Hostel & Gastrobar in Malate, Manila

My dream is to turn my children's lunchboxes into an art (like the Japanese with their bento), but since am a busy working mom, I know that is next to impossible.

Ten Thousand Buddhas Monastery in Shatin
The 10,000 Buddhas Monastery in Shatin is often overlooked by many tourists to Hong Kong. After all, how many of us will bother riding the East Rail Line all the way up the New Territories? But am telling you it's well worth the visit if you want something out of the ordinary from the hustle and bustle of HK. The entrance is impressive enough. There are approximately 500 golden life-size statues lining the pathway. One couldn't help but be amazed, if not amused, with their different poses and expressions. Prepare to exercise. I regretted not ... Continue Reading...
