The unforgiving heat has probably been one of the common things we all can relate to, aside, of course, from our various thoughts about the recent elections, at least in this side of the world. Mid May has come and the heat sure hasn’t dwindled a notch. Relief from it is something we all can make use of and Max’s Restaurant has recently come up with the perfect indulgence – Max’s Giant Halo Halo!

The hubby and I were invited to partake of a dinner hosted by Marina Oysters Seafood Grill last week with a bunch of other food bloggers. Marina’s oysters, which they are known for, are flown fresh from Iloilo daily. So they guarantee to serve only the freshest of oysters. With oysters being their specialty, I was quite thrilled to see an array of dishes in the buffet table with different kinds of oyster dishes. I have always had a big appetite for oysters! The good ones, that is. I have had my share of not so good ones in the past, all of which are not worthy blogging about. So, I’m moving on…
This is the airconditioned area of Marina’s Timog branch Read the rest of this entry »

Do Hard Things conference is an event where teens and parents gather to learn the biblical foundation and practical outworking of the Do Hard Things mentality—that doing what’s hard is a key to growth.
The main speakers of the Do Hard Things conference are twins Alex and Brett Harris, also authors of the book of the same title, and their dad, Gregg Harris. The Harrises were scheduled to come to the Philippines on June to speak at the conferences but due to an unexpected condition of Mrs. Sono Harris, the twins’ mother, they cannot commit to leaving her for a long period of time. Their mother was diagnosed with an advanced stage of colon cancer.

The hubby and I were invited to Canon Risshun A Spring of Delights Event held in Blue Leaf Piazza Venice yesterday. We have been Canon users for many years now and we are most eager to have a look see at their new products. Our now phased out (but still working) PowerShot A620 is in need of replacement.
The theme Risshun, which means the first day of spring, cannot be more apt for the occasion. For Canon Philippines, Risshun is the beginning of more wonderful things to come. It’s the promise of positive developments – a strategist for a new president, a fabulously new headquarters, and a powerful line-up of new products.
First, Canon introduced its brand new President and CEO Mr. Alan Chng. Alan Chng brings 30 years of extensive experience and in-depth knowledge on the imaging industry to his new position. In his most recent post as vice president for business imaging solutions in Singapore, he was responsible for the solid growth of the division in the region.

When you’re a mom, every moment with your child is worth capturing. Sure there may be the not so good times, but even then, you will also want those captured – at least that’s what I do. Because the time will come that you and your family would go back to everything laughing over and cherishing all those precious times together. Taking pictures came naturally for me- from the time that the hubby and I were in the delivery room, doing breathing exercises while I was on labor, up to now that our son is about to turn 5 years old.
