How to Disable the Right-click Function on your Blog

Technology has made our lives so much easier. However, with this advancement, higher cases of plagiarism has also become quite rampant. Take for instance the plight of all bloggers who, after spending hours on end thinking up of creative entries for their blogs, later find their work blatantly copied by some lazy criminal.

The Average Jane's Mini Giveaway!

There have been so many blessings that have been coming that the only way I could think of to reciprocate all these positive vibes is to return the love back to everyone.  So I'll be hosting a small, mini giveaway of sorts as a thank you to each and everyone of you!

Here's a sneak peek...

Drumroll please...

Have a Delightful Lunch at Cafe Mary Grace

Who hasn't tasted, or at least heard of, a Mary Grace ensaymada?  That fluffy, cheesy and oh-so-delicious delicacy that has graced hundreds of Filipino tables regardless of whether it was during special, grand occasions or simple, everyday celebrations. 

Our family loves this particular branded pastry to bits, but who knew they could also churn out other non-dessert and savory meal items?  And so when we first came across their concept restaurant at Serendra -- Cafe Mary Grace -- we just knew that we had to try it out.

Jay Asher's Thirteen Reasons Why

I'm not really in the habit of purchasing Young Adult fiction novels, mainly because most of the themes involved are not to my liking.  I am still in awe at how much sex and violence are infused in a teen book nowadays, such a far cry from the novels of my generation (i.e Sweet Valley series, Sweet Dreams, etc.)  Guess I have yet to recover from the shock.  Hehehe! 

But for this book, I am more than willing to make an exception.

FAB FIND: Hello Kitty Magic Apple Keychain

I wasn't really a fan of Hello Kitty.  Oh sure, I think she's cute and I'd buy the occasional item or 2.  But even since becoming a mom, I find myself looking at her in a different light.  Heck!  It's bordering on the fanatic since baby, who isn't even 3 months old, already has a number of items with this cat's famous mug on them.  Hehehe!

And lookie at what hubby recently gave us all the way from Singapore... a Hello Kitty magic apple keychain!

How to Apply for a Philippine Postal ID Card

I've said it once and I'll say it again, woe to the newly married woman who has, for years, have gotten so used to her surname only to find that a single (wedding) day, will change this familiarity forever.

I have to admit, it was not easy for me to adapt to a new surname, due mainly for professional reasons.  Throughout my profession career, I have been known by my maiden name and to have to inform all my contacts of the change was, well, too tiresome.  And so I decided to go the hypenated route and I eventually ended up with 2 surnames.  Such was the compromise!  =)
