I had the liberty of having domestic help since I was a toddler, so housekeeping doesn’t come naturally to me. Even until today when I’m no longer living with my parents, I find it very, very hard to keep my home tidy because truth be told, there was always a…

I’ve been on a week-long medical leave following my accident and while the rest was useful for my recovery, I was beginning to feel restless. The bruises are (still) horrible and while the stitches were removed, I have to deal with an inch long scar on my forehead. Something I’ll…
Of late, rif and I try to cook at home because it’s cheaper and supposedly healthier. At least that’s how I feel because we shop for the ingredients and we usually go for quality. Also, I’ve been buying more kitchen items, like a Korean stone bowl, casserole bowl, blow torch…
Our new place is starting to feel like home – a little bit each day. We recently installed a kitchen island for more storage space and I love it. I now have more room to prepare food and the extra space comes in handy when I have friends over. I’ve…

Getha delivered our new bed in June, but due to the many defects in our apartment unit and countless reminders to the developer and contractor to get their act together, I didn’t want the Getha boys to assemble my new bed just yet. In case it gets damaged during the…
Our home has been a work in progress ever since we got our keys in March and from lighting to bedding to kitchen, rif and I have been pretty hands on throughout. We even sought advice from three interior designers for some ideas on how to do up our place.…
