For trivia/video game buffs like me, I’m pretty sure you’ll enjoy this new site I discovered from Via’s blog. Nakakaaliw! I won’t be posting how much I scored the first time because it was very pathetic. Clue na lang, it was a negative five digit number. LOL! Hey, I didn’t say I was a genius.

Head on over to You Don’t Know Jack and get your daily dose of Dis or Dat. Don’t forget to come back and tell me how much you scored alright?

This is just what I needed. It arrived in my inbox at a time when breastfeeding Erin was becoming such a frustration. If you need an extra incentive to breastfeed your bub, then read on.

Better late than never… Congratulations to my brother-in-law E and his wife R for finally coming out with their first ever coffee table book Captured Culture: An Interpretative Portrait of Parañaque City. It’s filled with an assortment of photos of the city that is Paranaque. Why Paranaque you say? It’s because both of our families have resided in this city for decades and what better place to feature than the one you call home.

We’re looking forward to more of their published books in the future. But I don’t think that’s anytime soon. They’re expecting their little one any moment now. I hear R is due to deliver by end of May. This time it’s a boy! Erin’s going to be an ate already at two months. Cool!
