Refresher’s Gourmet

April 30, 2009 Pearl 0

Have you been to Refresher’s Gourmet in Silang, Cavite? It’s a nice and cozy place, with the right ambiance if you want a break from a long travel. Although we’ve been to Tagaytay a lot of times already, it was the first time that we dropped by this place last February. We were with our friends in our church community and we attended a retreat in Tagaytay. We also had our family day and when it was time to go home, the kids who really had a grand time, were all having tantrums because they didn’t want to go home Read More

All Natural Skin Care

April 30, 2009 Pearl 0

Again, in my quest for living frugally, I have to be more creative in coming up with ideas that could save me a few hundreds of my hard-earned money. Aside from the homemade hair conditioner that could really help our monthly grocery budget, there are also the all-natural skin care products that you can whip up right from your kitchen. Aside from being easy on the pocket, these products are void of the chemical ingredients that come in every package of the commercially available products. These will just take time to prepare unlike the ready-to-use products that we buy from Read More

Don’t Forget to dream

April 30, 2009 Pearl 0

Life may not be easy, but we still need to dream. We should not lose the faith that everything is given to us for a reason. God will never forsake us no matter what. I have seen this happen in my family, and really, although we have encountered so many trials, He has never forsaken us. I have stood my ground and lived my faith by remembering that all these things are temporary. In God’s time, everything will heal itself, everything will be alright. Most of all… – i live in awe of the beauty of the things around me, Read More

Homemade Hair Conditioner

April 29, 2009 Pearl 0

With the ever-increasing cost of our everyday needs, we should start finding ways on how to save money. Little adjustments on little things around the house will have a very big impact in the long run on our household budget. One item which puts quite a dent in my budget is the hair conditioner that I buy every month. It doesn’t help that my youngest daughter has a very long hair — and she has no plans of having it cut in the very near future! Her hair requires a lot of conditioner otherwise I will have an endless battle Read More

Aliwan Fiesta 2009

April 27, 2009 Pearl 1

Last Saturday, we went to the CCP in Roxas Boulevard to watch the Aliwan Fiesta 2009. We had this planned since last week, but when Saturday came, we were hesitant because of the rains. But we decided to go anyway, when the sky cleared in the afternoon. It was fun and we enjoyed watching the parade, the colorful floats, the elaborate outfits and costumes of the participants, and of course, I had fun taking photos. There was even a photography contest so there were lots of photographers who wanted to grab the chance of winning P50,000 — the first prize Read More
