the Frugal Foodie

-
I started blogging as early as 2001, this became my source of relaxation and a way for me to hone my writing skills. My blog back then was filled with personal insights, a bit of drama and less photos.

I stopped for a while when I joined the corporate world but I guess, passion will never die and it will burn even stronger when kept inside. That's how it was with my passion for blogging. Before I knew it, I'm starting to blog again this time through my multiply account.

Eventually, I got around to opening a new blog site. Thus, Frannywanny was born.

As much as I love to eat and write, I also love to read food blogs. From them I would get marvelous recommendations on the newest food spots in town. One of the blogs that I regularly follow is Table for Three, Please.

What do I love about it?

Well, let's start from the photos. A food blog is all about making your readers hungry. Your aim is to make their tummies rumble after reading your blog at any given time of the day. I can't believe that even if the trio would just talk about a simple dish such as Pork Binagoongan, they were able to capture it in its best angle making it look so mouthwatering.

Imagine how happy I was when I was invited by Franco to guest blog. He told me that they are looking for food spots that are easy on the pocket provided that this does not involve a burger, a regular serving of fries and a cup of soda.

This prompted me to go on an early morning food trip. Sharing with you my first ever post as Table for Three, Please's guest blogger and believe it or not, I just spent a total of Php. 130 which made my mission very successful.

IKEA Singapore Pyjamas Party

For those who have watched the movie 500 Days of Summer starring Zooey Deschanel and my ex-boyfriend Joseph Gordon-Levitt, you probably also loved this scene: Paul and I are regular shoppers of IKEA . It's highly possible that someday, we will be able to furnish our future home with IKEA furniture pieces and items as it has been our go-to place since our 1st day here in Singapore. We would joke that if only we can live in IKEA, we probably would go for it. Well, who would have thought that the opportunity would come for us to "spend the night" in IKEA? A week ago, Paul and I were chosen to be one of the lucky few to join the exclusive IKEA Pyjamas Party . It was a 4-hour event starting at 11PM and we were told to come in..what else?!...our PJs. We were too shy though so we just went in our comfy t-shirt and shorts. Well, some were really brave and came in their full PJs complete with fluffy bedroom slippers! This event was to launch the 2015 IKEA catalogue also

Bag of Beans (Charito) in Tagaytay

I can't believe that we have been frequenting Tagaytay for more than a decade now and not once have I written about Bag of Beans ! I tried searching all over this blog and I found..nothing. To think that not a single trip to Tagaytay, back then, would ever be complete without stopping by Bag of Beans for lunch or merienda. I must have been to engrossed with their coffee and bread that I wasn't able to take photos of the place and their food thus no blog entry. They, after all, have one of the best brewed coffee in Tagaytay and the yummiest bread to go with it too. Bag of Beans has been an institution in Tagaytay. Just like us, other tourists and visitors would make sure to drop by in order to grab a bite or to take home some of their homemade goodies every time they find themselves in Tagaytay. Bag of Beans started with one branch along the Tagaytay-Nasugbu Main Road across Residence Inn Zoo and it wasn't even overlooking the Taal. While they may lack in having a scenic

Franny Mommy Finds : Happy Noz Sticker Patch

As a parent, I have one thing that I dread the most and that's when any of my kids fall sick. From the moment we detect the faintest sniffle followed by sneezes and runny nose, we know one thing is for sure -- we will be having a couple of sleepless nights. For twins, it is very common that when one falls sick, expect the other one to follow suit in just a matter of days, sometimes within hours even.  A few years ago, my twins would catch a cold and we really would struggle because they'd become very fussy and cranky at night. They're sleepy and tired from the cold but with a clogged nose, they can't really have a restful night and this means, either one of us will have to sit up and carry them all throughout the night. It came to a point wherein both kids were sick and Paul and I eventually caught the bug too. It was just so hard to care for the kids while you're not in the best condition as well. This got me researching on remedies on how we can have a good night
