From my post last week on doing market around OSROX Park, here’s the pechay-sayote salad that I tried experimenting on from Pen2x’s recipe. I did little alterations as per ingredient-availability so here it is! The Veggies The Dressing Then Toss! The fresh pechay is crisp and the sayote is crunchy. I don’t bother eating […]

Feature Friday: Alona’s Dreamland Misamis Occidental Resort

Feature Friday highlights businesses, people, fashion, and basically anything under the sun! This is a feature of Misamis Occidental resort. Long weekends on short notice are a loss to me. Why loss? It’s because, I couldn’t grab the chance to take advantage of it by going on a distant weekend destination. Kasi nga, short notice. Meaning, […]
Weekend Market Around OSROX Park
OSROX or Osmeña-Roxas (two of the Republic of the Philippines’ past presidents) Park has been serving the city of Ozamiz as a seat of assemblage. As I can recall, miting de avances were often held here when I was little. In fact, my late Tatay Toto had brought me into one many years ago. I can […]
Feature Friday: Natalie Salon Ozamiz
Feature Friday highlights businesses, people, fashion, and basically anything under the sun! Super bad hair days! That’s one of the problems I’m facing these past few weeks aside from the random ramblings I have ‘coz of my students. Due to annual rebonding, my hair got so rough, unmanageable, frizzy, dry, and super damaged! I couldn’t even […]

My Year 3 of Katutubong Kasuotan
And here we are with our Katutubong Kasuotan once again. This time, hindi ko po kina-reer ang outfit ko kasi naman po, my everyday routine means running to and fro school, store, home, vice versa plus an extra run to the bank that day. Additionally, it was also blazing hot that day for a full-blast Filipiniana outfit to wear. So I […]
M-I-Y Minionized!
I thought minion is only a cartoon character until a student asked me during chemistry class if there really is minion when we discussed about ions. I was about to say no but I considered the possibility of a minion’s existence so I gave it as their reading assignment. Of course I also did my […]
Bukagan Hill, Misamis Occidental Tourist Spot

“I was so excited on the day we’ll be going to Malaubang! It was my first time to go to a distant place with only my classmates as my company. It was really an adventure since Susie only left us a sketch of her house. Meaning, we have to go to a place unknown by […]
