Baked By Melissa

I’ve read mix reviews of this place but nevertheless, when we went to Soho two Saturdays ago, I had to go and look for it. I’m referring to the cupcake stall named Baked by Melissa.

As soon as we were at the location, the first thing that we noticed was the long [...]

Rental Apartment Hunt

Apartment hunting in New York City is not as easy as what most think. First of all, the area is considered hot even in these tough economic times. It has somehow softened a bit, but it is not enough to soften the rental rates and selling prices.

Thus, I have always been very curious how other [...]

An Afternoon In Soho

Two Saturday’s ago, we trekked to Soho. It’s been ages, since I stepped foot in this area of Manhattan. It was amazing to see a lot of new establishments. It has changed a lot since my last visit.

It was very crowded. We thought of going there instead of the Uptown area [...]

Comparison Shopping Online

For the past few years, we saw ourselves switching service providers for our tv, internet and phone services at home. The switch from cable to local tv satellite and vice versa has always been one daunting task. I’m not too good at handling changes that’s why. That is even more so, if it involves detail [...]

She Got Over Her Obsession

My Mom who is an only child happens to have several cousins who are medical practitioners. There are several doctors with varying specialties, nurses and dentists. Having said that, it became her objective to have at least two of her children to get a degree in Medicine (a doctor) and Nursing (a nurse).

Destiny took a [...]

Healthy By Choice And Two More Titles

I’m refusing to give in to many unhappy thoughts lately. What, with the current health condition of my Mom, instead of sulking in one corner, I’m using my free time to read these books.

I’m done reading the book on top of my three-book pile. If you get the chance and you’re interested, this [...]

Pottery In Retirement

One of the first things I did when I retired this summer was sign up for a pottery class. I had been dying to do it for so long, but always made excuses about not having time when I was working. It ends up that I probably should have done it after work to beat [...]

Denim Sale

Here’s the reason why my husband’s wallet is once again slimmer. I just can’t help it! The discount is too much to pass up. Plus, with free shipping, it was hard to resist.

Shopping was a breeze, being that I fit consistently on the different cuts and styles of these brands that I have been wearing [...]

Dale Jr Is My Favorite

I have been a big fan of Nascar racing for many years. My husband and I started watching it when we were in college. I can remember several spectacular races, which involved unbelievable crashes and amazing finishes.

My favorite Nascar Car driver is Dale Earnhardt, Jr. I loved the bond between him and his father. It [...]

Anti-Shopping?

While my husband claims that he is so anti-shopping, ( meaning : he’s not enamored with the idea of going around to shop on foot) he is forced into embracing it whenever we go on vacation. When we’re home, he is excused except for when he insists that it’s time for me to get some [...]
