Singapore, I can't wait to see you LAH!!

It was at 4AM when I finally pressed the Publish Post button. After a short prayer, I sent in my second entry and just hoped for the best. That was it. I gave my best shot, the rest is up to Him.

Last Monday just like any other typical morning. I got to work on time, opened my computer and went through my email inbox. I went on working up until I got a message from a fellow blogger asking me how I was. Little did I know that he would be my bearer of great news that would not only make my day but my week and month as well!

I won the contest and I'm flying to Singapore in 9 days!!! Yahooooooo!!!

This is actually the shortest time I have left to prepare for a trip. I'm speeding up my research time and quickly listing down the places and food that I will make sure to visit and try during my stay!

Updating myself about what's new in Singapore is such a breeze! I found this new localized website called PinoyLah.com gives us, Filipinos, a better glimpse of Singapore. I enjoyed reading the Sing Stories and the Pinoy Top 10 that lists the Ten Must-Eat dishes in Singapore!

I'm counting down the days as I look forward to trying the various gastronomic treats that Singapore has to offer!

Any suggestions on how I can make my trip to Singapore totally amazing? :)

    Sa Food Republic at Wistma Atria, try the Fried Prawn Mee. It's not hard to find that stall, since it's the only one always with a long queue.

    When you get tried of walking (and in Singapore, you'll walk a LOT!), do try the Singapore River Cruise. It's a bit pricey at SG$18 per person, pero it's really relaxing and it's a nice way to see the other sights of Singapore.

    Have fun in SG Fran :D

Hot Dish Home Delivery : Real Food for Every Celebrations

Earlier this month, we celebrated the birthday of one of our househelps, B. My twins would point to her as "Yaya B" which makes her very happy. She's been with us even before I gave birth to my twins and in this day and age where long-lasting househelps are a rarity, she's definitely winning the loyalty award so to speak. I do value birthdays and it has been a tradition for us to celebrate the birthdays of everyone in the house thus including our loyal helpers and even Kuya M, my Mom's driver of close to a decade. Nothing grand but rather we would prepare a simple but meaningful meal for them. After all, they have made the sacrifice to be away from their own families to be able to stay and to work for us so in return, we make it a point to make them feel like they're part of the family. I've been away from my own family to work abroad for 4 years and I know how it feels when it's your birthday and you're not with your loved ones. I am very lucky

Misto at Seda Vertis North

Happy Friday!  I'm not going to lie, Friday is one of my favorite days because it means, we're just a day away from the weekend! Who doesn't love the weekend, right? This is the day when I give my twins my uninterrupted attention. We would start the day with any breakfast of their choice (normally waffles for J, pancakes or peanut butter sandwich for L) followed by an hour of doing their homework and in the afternoon, we head out for their swim class! Sunday is more laid back as we would stay home and just laze around the house otherwise, we would go and visit my in laws and spend the day there.  Speaking of the weekend, I suddenly remembered one of the best weekends that we've had this year so far. This was when we had our staycation at Seda Vertis North  and the twins truly enjoyed every minute of it. Of course, they love our comfy and very spacious Corner Suite with an adjacent Deluxe Room as well as checking out the hotel's amenities and the Vertis North mall
