By | Mother's Day, Philippine Star Lifestyle Section | No Comments

 Check out Words Worth by Mons Romulo and get some advice from working moms on how they balance their work and home 🙂  Click on the article below to read the full articlework and home philstar mons 2015Thank you Mons for including me here and allowing me to share something.  I am adding some advice here, since I did not fully understand the question haha 🙂

I always make it a point to have dinner everyday with my family because that is the only time we are all at home and it is the time when we can spend quality time with each other.  Going to mass together and Sunday family day is very important.  All these I get from the best Mom that I have who is the busiest working mom I know even until now that she is almost 70 years old, my Energizer bunny mom 🙂

Driving to Half Moon Bay

By | Philippine Star Lifestyle Section, Travel | No Comments

Our friend, June, told us to drive to Half Moon Bay and in an instant we took her advice  Driving to Half Moon Bay (2)

I love road trips!!  I used to dread riding the car to get to a place, but there is actually so much to see on the road!  I can’t even put down my camera.  I never sleep or work anymore in the car.  The problem now is that the trip gets longer because I always want to stop and take photos of the beautiful things we see on the wayDriving to Half Moon Bay (3)

Driving to Half Moon Bay (4)

On the way to Half Moon Bay, there is a short stretch of these trees.  It’s an amazing sight – make sure to look to the left going there or on the right going back homeDriving to Half Moon Bay (18)

Driving to Half Moon Bay (1)

The drive is only around 30 to 40 minutes.  It might take longer during weekends.  So just like anything else, it’s always best to go non peak days.

We saw this tree farm!  Driving to Half Moon Bay (6)
