Raising a Bookworm


I grew up, and am still, a bookworm. My father loved to read, but I don't remember him reading to me. I also don't remember my mother reading a book to me, but she loved to talk, so I guess we could pretend that she read to me, haha.

I've been reading books to P since he was a baby. He progressed from seemingly intent on listening to grabbing the book and trying to destroy it. He's not a big talker but he likes singing nursery rhymes. Sometimes he sings even while still half-asleep. Just recently, he has started handing me a book he wants me to read. I've also discovered that he knows some of the words, as I've been reading the same books to him for two years now, hehe, I really really really hope he grows up to be a bookworm, even if his love for basketball and running around is really strong. :)

My De’Longhi Christmas Wishlist


Nothing says domesticated than lusting after appliances! Whereas I used to walk up and down the aisles of clothes, bags and shoes, now I find myself giddy in the home section - among the pots, pans and appliances. In fact, one time, I left work early because I was not feeling well. Hubby picked me up at the mall and the first thing he asked me was: "Bakit may hawak kang kawali?" Well, the new pan helped me feel better, okay?

Since the celebrity bloggers started posting about De'Longhi appliances a while back, I found myself pining over some of them. First up is the Multicooker:



Low-oil Fryer & Multicooker Multifry Extra FH1363
A low oil fryer and multicooker equipped with the SHS double (double independent heating elements), automatic mixing process, maximum food capacity 1.7 kg of fresh potatoes to peel.


 Low-oil and for multiple purposes, what's not to like? P's favorite food is french fries so this would be perfect for him, well, for all of us really!


I don't like the rainy season because I don't like it when it's gloomy. I also don't like it when our stuff gets moldy - ewww! This Dehumidifier would be perfect for our tiny condo! 

Dehumidifier DNC 65

  • Pull-up carry handle
  • Electronic antifreeze (down to 1°C)
  • Continuous drain discharge
  • Three different dehumidification power levels: AUTO, MAX and MIN.
  • Electronic shut-off timer up to 8 h
  • "Tank Control System": the unit automatically stops when the tank is full
  • SWING function: 3-position oscillating louvers to optimize the air distribution
  • Very noiseless operation: only 34 dB(A)!
  • Clothes drying function: removes up to 6 l/d at any temperature condition
  • Separately controlled ionizer
  • Tank capacity: 2 litres
  • Visible tank water level
  • Antibacterial filter
As a mommy, I'm always stressing about the stuff surrounding my little P - including the air he breathes! This Air Purifier would definitely help alleviate (some of) my fears!

Air Purifier AC 230
  • AQS system: the air quality is constantly screened during the use of the machine, and the lights will change colour depending on bad, moderate or good air quality
  • GAS&ODOUR sensor: when the sensor captures particles TECHNICAL DATA of smoke and gas, in AUTO mode the fan accelerates its speed to clean the air in a more efficient and quicker way
  • TiO2 FILTER + UV light: very effective against all air impurities, the UV light has the property of destroying the cells of the particles that are then collected by this special photo- catalyst filter
  • NANO SILVER FILTER is 99% effective against bacteria
  • HEPA FILTER: effective against dust particles as small as 0.3 μ m in diameter or bigger
  • CARBON FILTER: effective against various harmful gases thanks to the property of active carbons
  • IONIZER: it neutralizes the particles of dust, pollen, car fumes and smoke contained in the air
  • Washable re-usable PRE-FILTER for big particles such as human and pets hair
  • 3 FAN SPEEDS + AUTO
  • Timer off 1-2-4-8 hours
  • Filter dirty indicator: after 720 hours of use the machine advices that the 2in1 Hepa+Active Carbon filter needs to be replaced
  • Control panel with SENSOR TOUCH SCREEN

Lastly, some mornings, I cannot function without coffee. I get headaches if I don't have one in a day. Since we live in a limited space, this cute coffee machine would be perfect on our counter.

Fully Auto Coffee Machine ESAM 6620
The bean to cup coffee maker designed for those who love their bar-style coffee, also thanks to the 3 exclusive milk buttons: cappuccino, latte macchiato and caffelatte. Memorize your favourite cappuccino, latte macchiato or caffelatte by selecting your preferred amount of milk and coffee. The temperature and the amounts of coffee and water can be adjusted.
