Hmm, this reminds me of a game I played while in my home country but I only know of it the way we call it in our native tongue. Card games are really fun and can be addicting. I remembered playing with it almost every-single-day at that time.

Aww, that’s a touching and heartfelt message. I’m sure your eyes welled up a bit reading that 🙂

Oh this one looks nice! I love to have it as an ice kachang or mixed with other sweetened things in a Filipino dessert called halo-halo 🙂 Yum!

HAHA, it is funny when kids make us get a dose of our own “medicine”. My son would also get annoyed when he sees I am still trying to keep working if it’s my turn minding him after the nanny left. Maybe it is his way of telling me that I should focus on him instead, LOL!

Yeah I read about it as well. They even said that the best place to have a family and have kids is in Finland. It seems that the government gives new families “almost” everything they need to get started (including a foldable cot!) to each family that recently had babies. If only all countries will be like this, new parents would enjoy they kids a…[Read more]

Oh definitely! Italians like kids in general since my son was pretty “popular” especially with the grannies when we went to Rome last year, too.

I hope so, too! I mean, things are starting to “feel” a little bit better when it comes to dining out with our son. So I am hoping that we get to return to eat on restaurants we avoided the past 2 years!

HAHA, yeah it was a gamble. But I thought since I only spent a few cents on these, it doesn’t matter whether it arrived or not (although I’ll make a really bad review if it didn’t!).

Oh, definitely! We used to celebrate Father’s day on the day itself (when I was still in my home country) and it is always a nightmare! It doesn’t matter whether you’re dining in a mid-range or expensive restaurant – everything is just filled up! So the only way to get guaranteed seats is to be there before mealtime to avoid the surge.

Thanks for appreciating. Yeah, I actually found Kilkenny (in general) a lot nicer and people are more polite than here in Dublin. It’s true, first impression makes a lasting image so it is really good to put your best foot forward especially when you are in businesses like this.

Hmm, I don’t think so but most parents in the West seems to prefer to let the baby sleep on their own space due to SIDS (my Italian friends abhor the thought of co-sleeping!). Anyway, I actually saw an article written by (I presumed) an American Mom where she posted a photo of their sleeping area. She had a custom-made bed where everybody…[Read more]

Is Colgate Pro cheaper than Thermoseal? I found “especially made toothpastes” cost a lot more than the ones readily available in the groceries.

Oh I think I haven’t used Darlie (or seen it here) before. Yeah, that’s one thing I don’t like about brushing – not being able to eat because it leaves the mouth tasting minty. I try to brush every meal and make sure I don’t eat anything at least an hour after I do. That helps a lot actually.

Oh it became red because of the beetroot 🙂 Yeah, it’s a nice way to eat something healthier and I thought it would be good for us to have it mixed with pasta. It’s also a nice change from the typical pasta sauces I make.

Yeah, they have a really pleasant after taste. I have tried other brands for toothpaste but it’s not the same. It might’ve been because we are using it for a long time now and buy it out of habit.
