Aranaz For Avent
Posted by: Lala on: July 30, 2011
(Pseudo) celebrity (yes, I’m talking about myself) has its perks. Recently, this gorgeous, limited edition diaper bag was delivered to me as a gift from Avent Philippines. Designed by Amina Aranaz of Aranaz Bags for Avent, it’s made of indigenous woven pandan and bling-ified with gold detailing. So lovely and so roomy! And here we [...]

I’m always talking about how the Philippines should have better finished chocolate products seeing as how we’re in the bean belt of the world.

Changing Educational Paradigms

I always question my decision to put my daughter in a progressive school which really could not be more different than what most other Pinoy kids experience. It’s a scary thing to walk a path so few have taken. It’s something I grapple with almost daily – Will she thrive? Will she be globally competitive? [...]

A lovely thing happened in Nashville recently. U2 was on tour and before closing, Bono invited this blind guitarist from the audience who was holding up a sign that read “blind guitar player, bring me up!” Check out the video below. So touching! You can read more about this awesome moment here. See, anybody [...]
Happy Birthday Rocio!

To My Dearest Darling Rocio, This time eight years ago, we were in the hospital waiting for you to make an appearance. And we waited and waited until Dra. Lopez had to come and get you. And you breathed your first at 8:21pm. I heard you cry seconds before I saw your little pink body [...]
