Happy new year! It's still January after all. We're still embracing new. Most people have no problem embracing new - new things, especially. The new year brings about new things (rather, it's Christmas that brought the new things, unless these are "regifts" or hand-me-downs). New year also brings about new experiences, which would be more reluctantly received because of the changes these entail. Unless these are new experiences by traveling! And I could never say "no" to new books. :-D The new … [Read more...]

Parents’ Christmas, Cymplified!
the parents' Christmas lists 'Twas the year before Christmas, and all through the world, plan-ahead parents are writing down potential gifts for their family and friends. The parents' Christmas translate to seemingly endless lists. A list of the gifts the mommy, the daddy and the children were given. Doing this gives them the idea of what to expect or the amount they could reciprocate in kind. Also, the past gifts that the family gave out, so there'd be no duplicate. I confess I do not do … [Read more...]

As of now. While the three of them could still fit in one bed. The second is, I wanted a beautiful place for our wedding anniversary getaway. Hillcreek Gardens just screams romance!

Heroes of Olympus Series, Cymplified!
The book fair started it! With one of the books from Heroes of Olympus series. My eldest kid had an aversion to novels... Basically books without pictures, because, she found it boring. I sort of gave up on trying to get her to read books such as Charlotte's Web by E. B. White. Then, I bought books at my children's school's book fair. It's by Scholastic. I got a free book as part of a promotion. The title was The Blood of Olympus by Rick Riordan. Even if the price points at the book fair were … [Read more...]
Book & Borders Café, Cymplified!
Book & The Introvert in me is super curious about the Book & Borders Café. I love the idea of reading a book, while sipping coffee in a quiet and cozy corner! It's one of my me-time dreams. I appreciate the chance to visit the newly opened Book & Borders Café on Banawe St. in Quezon City. It was my hubby who saw it and told me to wait there.
