I have visited Omaha Zoo thrice and it still amazes me how beautiful and diverse the animals in this zoo – from reptiles to nocturnal animals from across the world will leave you in awe. The cost of the ticket for adults (ages 12 and above) is $31.95. Because I grew up in a low-cost […]
“Wow! May bago syang iphone! San mo binenta bato mo?” (“Wow! You have a new iphone! Where did you sell your kidney?”). It used to be a joke amongst us friends 10 yrs ago and I thought it will remain as joke until I saw the latest story of KMJS, it made me sad that […]

I grew up buying cooked boba or tapioca pearls in the market so this was my first time cooking it and I thought I was smart enough since I cooked brown tapioca pearls before perfectly! Wait, let me defend myself a bit. There was no instruction on the packaging! But my inner self was screaming […]
Ok. I grew up from the Philippines. the 3 decades of my life was spent in a country that never gets snow and has two season – rainy and sunny. Seeing a snowfall is a goal for people who grew up in places that never gets snow – you can ask them. LOL. And, doing […]
