Random Thoughts

Ever since school started, we've been making sure that our weekends are relaxed and our priority is to get as much rest as we can. So for the past two weekends already, we've met that goal and because of that, I'm really loving our weekends now.

Just last weekend, we stayed home for the whole weekend. We had fun bonding by watching movies and eating snacks together. I had to read up a little on errors & omissions insurance though to scratch it off my list of to-do's. Thanks to TechInsurance, all the details that I needed was in the website. I got hooked with this task since it is very new to me so I read up more about this topic.

What Is Errors and Omissions Insurance?

If you’re ever confronted with potentially catastrophic litigation, your company’s survival and your own financial security could depend on whether or not you have Errors and Omissions coverage.

Errors and Omissions insurance, also known as Professional Liability insurance, is a fundamental safeguard for your IT business. Errors and Omissions insurance protects your technology business if a client alleges that your company was professionally negligent or failed to perform professional duties.

Interesting, right? TechInsurance definitely provided all the details for me!

As for our weekend, it ended by hearing mass early in the evening and then we had dinner at KFC. Looking forward to more relaxing weekends soon! (*wink*)

Check out what my sister got for my little girls from Macau...

She also gave (not in photo) yummy strawberry and chocolate cookies, a box of coffee for the Hubby and more, more, more.

It was a happy day!

Thanks Yang! Mwah! (*wink*)

Hubby's birthday is just a week from now and I'm thinking of what to give him. I don't have a huge budget this year so I'm thinking of little things that he will really appreciate. A bottle of wine would probably do and a couple of cigars from famous cigar shop. He doesn't smoke but maybe he can save it for special occassions and bonding time with his Dad. They usually have a boys night out every now and then, so they would appreciate it.

The cigars from Famous Smoke Shop are really of good quality. The good news is that they are only sale NOW! Very timely, indeed! So, I'm off to check out their online shop and see which one I can order.

A couple of months ago, we were invited to celebrate SIL's birthday at Relik.

I didn't know what to expect since I haven't been to Relik and I haven't read any reviews about it either. I was surprised when I realized that Relik was a Tapas Bar and that we are staying in a reserved part of the restaurant.

I felt excited! I realized that we are going to have a nice night!



Just how we like the ambiance, we also like the food that they ordered...


Served with tomato salsa and crostini Bonesli Diego Martin. Since I loooove cheese, this dish for me is to die for!


Quesadillas are served with guacamole and tomato salsa. Very tasty. Mmmmm.



They also ordered...

Lengua Bourguignon - Slow-cooked cow's tongue in red wine, demi-glace, mire poix and lardoons.

Relik's Mixed Paella

Mother Ann's Braised Ox-tail - Slow braised Australian ox-tails served with pomme puree and buttered carrots.

It was definitely a night that we all forgot about our diets! Better burn these calories soon or I will fail my blood test once again!

Relik is located at 2/F Commercenter Bldg, 31st Ave cor 4th St, Bonifacio Global City.

We've been planning to continue updating our home but we got a little busy with the opening of classes so we had to put it off for a couple of weeks. Now that everything has settled down, we are again checking out materials to buy for the renovation. As I've mentioned before, we need to change the flooring in our family room since the leaks affected some part of the flooring.

Now, I'm looking out online and I saw Albuquerque Floor Options. I realized that there are tons of options to choose from! I will have to consider carpet, hardwood, tile and laminate flooring. Carpet is definitely not an option as well as tiles since we don't want to change all of our floors.

So I'm down to hardwood and laminate flooring.

On second thought, since our current flooring is laminated, maybe I should stick to the current to avoid additional expenses. Yes, I would defintiely do that. Flooring America has special pricing on laminated floors! Yebah! Sale prices are huge considering that I need to buy a lot of wood planks. This is a great day for me to shop for wood flooring! I guess I was meant to find Flooring America. And this is a sign that we need to prioritize our flooring soon.

When I was a little girl, I used to dream of having my own collection of My Little Ponies. Well, since times were a bit tight during those days, I didn't get to have any toy from this collection.

So when I heard of my friend selling pre-loved my little ponies, I grabbed it immediately since it is in a very low price.

Check out my new collection...

These are just lovelies!

And now, I've introduced them to my little girls and so far they love playing with my collection. At first they didn't know how to play it, so I showed them how!

Thanks to Cutesy Patootie, you made my dream of having a "my little pony collection" come true! ♥♥♥

I would like to incorporate this into our lifestyle from now on...

I just wish I have the energy and time to do it! We'll see this week. This is a nice way to make our bodies healthier!

Try it too! (*wink*)

One Saturday, we decided to change our daily routine and have brunch at Borough in Podium. I've heard a lot about Borough, so it made me want to try it too...

Borough is an interesting restaurant that offers a slice of New York, serving up the very best of comfort food in the metro. New Yorkers now based in Manila are raving about the food. We tried it, and we agree with them.

It was also time to use our vouchers which I bought from Deal Grocer.

I read a couple of reviews about Borough before we went there so I based my orders on their best sellers.

Of course coffee will always be part of our breakfast! It was a good coffee.

Breakfast meal which includes scrambled eggs, Bacon and fried potatoes. The potatoes were a bit spicy so the kids didn't like it. I found this very oily too.

Banana Amarreto French Toast. Home made french toast, pre-soaked in banana custartd. Top with amarreto caramel flambe, whipped cream and toasted almonds. Yummy!

Peanut Butter Sandwich which I found too sweet.

The resturant was a little dark. I guess it made our dining experience a little sad. I guess this restaurant targets people who came from a night out and would fill up their tummies first before going home.

But the food was good and the service was great.Will we ever go back? Maybe, so we get to try the burgers and the pitas which look really interesting.

Borough is located at GF, Unit 107A, The Podium Mall, 12 ADB Avenue, Ortigas Center, Mandaluyong. For reservations, you can call: +632 570-8906.
