Been seeing UBER for the past months popping in and out of my feeds in social media.  I have a cousin who is an Uber addict!  Honestly, I have been collecting the P300.00 credit codes of friends.  It was just a few weeks ago that I was told that those codes are useless since I have already registered!  Oh well. I was very curious and so I googled UBER.  I was surprised to learn that UBER is not a local company instead it's an international company with locations around the world.  Here's what UBER is all about: Well, when you think about it - it's quite practical and safe.  With UBER - you don't need to carry cash as the payment is automatically charged to your credit card.  Brilliant right?  So, two weeks ago - I had my first experience with UBER.  My friend Rowena suggested that I hitch a ride with her going to an event, she mentioned that she will use UBER.  So we met up and there she showed me how to book a *Black* c...

Auntie Cata is one of my mom's BFFs and she cooks very well.  I still super remember her Java rice and her salmon dish as if I just ate it yesterday,even if it was years ago that I had them! I confess that there were a few instances that I instigated an invitation to have lunch with them (at their home) because I really loved her cooking.  (I don't think she will remember this!  Hahaha!) Through the years, she would send us food which we welcomed with open arms.  Who would say no to good food right?  Then last week, when I came back from my Hong Kong trip - a pack of frozen Vietnamese Spring Rolls welcomed me! My mom volunteered to cook it for us one lunch.  I knew it was going to be good since it came from Auntie Cata!  Auntie Cata is one who wouldn't scrimp on ingredients.  That is her trademark actually - that she will use only the finest ingredients to everything that she will make.  That's what I like about her cooking to b...

A month before my SIL gave birth, she found a yaya.  Since she didn't need her yet - she lent her to me to be 'trained'.  And so I interviewed Yaya Ritchie when she got to my house.  I always interview to scare, haha!  Bad, right?  But I do that so that my helpers know that I am firm.  I've always believed too that interviews are only for show.  I wanted to see her in action and at the back of my mind, I was expecting the worse. That night, I told her to watch over Connor.  Connor was 5 months old then and he was gaining very little weight.  I was very worried because if you compare him with Kailee - Connor was so far behind.  During her first day - I was already impressed.  She knew what she needed to do, plus she knew how to handle a breastfed baby!  She was such a breath of fresh air, she was very helpful in every way, I mean in EVERY way. She was quiet, and not chatty.  She seldom uses her cellphone.  She's ...
