When you live in the tropics expect to have frizzy hair. I always wondered why is it when I travel to a colder climate, my hair behaves. But now I have finally found the solution to Frizz Free Happy Hair Day! I love, love the shampoo and conditioner. This is the only shampoo and conditioner that I will swear by. If you have thick hair like me, you should go and try it out. I have tried other

Late last year after a hiatus from my Pilates training, I rediscovered my love for kicking butt, literally. I signed up for my first class though I will still in the process of recovering from a long haul trip but it got me going.Why Kickboxing? Aside from getting me to deal with some anger issues (LOL), it gives a great body workout and boost your confidence.I saw some definition in my waist

As I accidentally found the mason website in the country while searching for Tomas Earnshaw, I found this very interesting information. The Philippine flag had mason symbols. A very logical conclusion as Emilio Aguinaldo was a mason and acknowledged Masonry as a major influence in acquiring independence, (A similar statement was said by George Washington as well).Read on...The Philippine flag

I was looking for more information on the great grandfather of my cousin - Tomas Noguera Earnshaw, the FIRST MAYOR OF MANILA. More on him in succeeding posts.It is so interesting as it talks about masonry in the Philippines and even identifies who the Grand Masters are. Aside from Jose Protacio Rizal who is really Jose Rizal Protacio being a Mason, other famous people in more modern times are:

In my earlier post on the Gate of Fort Santiago, I brought attention to the Spanish soldier trampling moors. I missed this one and did not put together that this is Santiago de Compostela or St James of the Field of Stars. James the Great Apostle was the the brother of John. James converted many to Christianity as such you will see the moors in the picture. Santiago remains under the

Today is Good Friday and we are all prepared to trek to my Papi's farm. We grew up spending weekends in my Papi's farm, enjoying the rural life. We rode carabaos, horses, harvested vegetables, and climbed the sineguelas tree. We lunched around the old Sampaloc tree , fed the chickens and pigs. We grew appreciating the simple things in life.My kids and their cousins enjoyed the farm animals.

Undated picture of Fort Santiago. The soldiers appear to be Americans. I can assume because of the presence of the Star of David. You wont see this if it was during the Spanish Occupancy.This picture was shot in the 40's obviously so there is an army tank. Now, notice the Star of David has disappeared and has been replaced with an escudo.Still beautiful even in the 20th century. Now focus on

Most observations regarding Filipinas by foreign writers have been complimentary whether in the distant past or present-day accounts. Although her ego doesn’t appear to need any more affirming, in this age when we’re known as the atchays of the world it’s good to read one more paean. Here’s a 19th century compliment by Vicente Barrantes on Las Mujeres del Pais.Barrantes writes that the Filipino

WE ALL know King Philip II as the king after whom the Philippines was named. He was a staunch and ruthless defender of Catholicism; at the height of the Spanish Inquisition against Protestants and heretics; when a condemned man begged him for mercy, Philip reportedly replied, "If my own son were found guilty like you, I would personally accompany him to be burned at the stake."He married the

DH and I were stunned and awed at the sight of our little angel walking down the aisle. Aside from the blushing bride, the little girl stole the show. As she walked down the aisle, light bulbs flashed and a loud Ahhhhhh could be heard. She enjoyed the experience so much that she was used the dress the whole day the day after.

I myself jumped on the inflatable with Ines. In line with the theme Arabian Nights because this was a Bratz Genie Magic Party, I served Shawarma. All the adults and some kids loved it. And it was so affordable, almost half

Ever since that earthquake last December 26 at Taiwan happened it has affected the internet connections in this part of the world. i haven't posted in a month because of this.

Our family celebrated the day with my side of the family. The kids prepared a Boom Tarat Tarat dance . It was fun reminiscing when my sister and I would have our own choreographed dance with matching costume. Side A, Side B. Haha . We would even charge Nana and Lolo, Tito P, Nana Chit to watch our performances.DH and I woke up early to prepare the Garlic Prime Rib. It took forever to roast it. We

Merry Christmas to everyone! Happy Hannukah too! It is our first Christmas at our new home. We are starting a new tradition by preparing a good dinner with our crew and our nuclear family. Tonight I prepared Christmas Ham, Steak with green beans and carrots on the side, Lentejas, Cheese, and a fruit platter.We set up the table real nice then played Christmas music for tonight so that DH can get

We threw a party for my Papi who turned 64 yesterday. Because I was swamped with the preparations I totally forgot to take pictures to record the event. Well here is what we did so you will have to visualize this one.MenuCrostini - Home Made Basil Pesto/ Tapenade with DaingSalad GreensLengua de Abuela (lol)Chorizo & Olive PaellaAbuelo's LechonSteamed CrabsDessert BuffetChocolate Fudge from Sugar

My centerpiece was just put together yesterday. I was thinking of using fresh flowers but with the prices going up I dont think I can keep on changing every 3 to 4 days in time for the parties we will be throwing. Mr. T bought me some wonderful long candles for my Tiffany candlestick however one started to bend and finally broke because of the humidity. Now I'm back using the old, reliable

My DH has been bugging me to put up more Christmas decorations like tivoli lights outside for the past few weeks. I only had a Christmas tree that was set up on November 1. I am not so much into lighting up the whole house because of fires that usually occur around this time. I remember distinctly the fire that killed the daughter of JDV last Christmas. Well DH gave me the look and an ultimatum.

Must Have # 2 Canon EOSI have been wanting to get one for the past 2 years. Louie Aguinaldo holds basic photography lessons when you purchase this camera. Guess I have to start saving up.

I have finally gotten hold of this underground secret - frozen brazo de mercedes. My DH has been craving this ever since our cousin Mr. T told us about it. We got to try it at a friends place and DH was hooked. Here it is. It looks like a baked alaska. We had it for dessert tonight. Can't wait to learn how to do this.

My Kid has been going to an art school and has created an impressive collection of artwork. The Kid now knows about the Masters - Picasso, Monet, Cassatt, Pollock and the favorite Vincent Van Goat! I framed most of the Kid's artwork and hanged them around the house. Funny as the Kid has put a price on the exhibit ranging from PHP5.00 to $100.00 for anyone who is interested.

I'm usually the one behind the camera when DH, Kid and I travel. Here are some of the pictures I took of the landscape of places we visited. These were just taken with my handy, dandy Sony Cyber-Shot. Next year I will be saving up for either a Sony SLR or a EOS.

On my 7th month my DH and Kid went to go for a 4DScan for our son. I have since then given and look back at the 4D scan to compare the way he looks. The verdict - yes it gives you a general idea of how your child will look like. No suprises. Here are two shots of my little boy. Here is another shot that DH took when I was delivering. So proud of DH as he was my rock on the two C sections I had.

I love my Red Door. I love it when guests ask, "Where is the powder room", and I reply "The Red Door". The Red Door was salvaged from a garage sale that my good friend Auey had days before she migrated to the US. The door was not part of the sale but I offered to purchase it. The state of the door was repairable. We maintained the original color. We used automotive laquer paint to get the right

I was inspired to change the name of my blog to Mareng Stewart because of my SIL who called me this last Sunday. Mmmm, what an interesting name. Here are some pictures of my channeling Mareng este Martha Stewart. Top picture was the Cupcake Tower monogrammed with the initial of my little boy made by good friend and baker extraordinaire Peachy Juban. She loved the idea that I gave her on how I
