Craft fairs are my favorite places to shop for Christmas. Baguio is sweltering in April and more than half a year from the holiday season, but a fair is a fair, and I was happy to stop by the Baguio Craft Fair and take home a few trinkets. One table that caught my eye featured white ceramics, and contrastingly, some colorful blocks. Closer inspection showed … Continue reading Short But Sweet: The Baguio Craft Fair
Every space nerd knows that when you’re in Houston, you’ve got to visit the Space Center. And the well-prepared space nerds know that you can save some money by getting your tickets online! Our trip to the Space Center was a ton of fun. We started the day with a tour of the Astronaut Training Facility. This is one of NASA’s tram tours that come … Continue reading To Infinity and Beyond: Space Center Houston
We love a good “field trip”, and in our 30s, it’s no less exciting than it was as a kid. That’s why we spent our first full day in the States at the Houston Museum of Natural Science. Established in 1909, the museum went from simple displays to an area within the Houston Zoo to its current multi-story building at Hermann Park. When we got … Continue reading A Day Out in Houston: Hermann Park and the Museum of Natural Sciences
Our favorite spot for indulging in authentic Thai cuisine in Baguio is Som Tam. They offer a fantastic variety of soups, appetizers, and savory mains, many of which are generously portioned for sharing. To kick off our meal, we always opt for their tod mun khung, or shrimp cakes. They are coated, fried to perfection, and served piping hot alongside a tangy plum sauce for … Continue reading A Few of Our Favorite (Thai) Things at Som Tam
Our wedding was a big event. We did most of the planning on our own, but it wouldn’t have been possible without the help of our incredible team of vendors. We hired Chai and Co Events Management for on-the-day coordination. Having worked in events planning, I knew for certain that I didn’t want to be thinking about logistics and the program during the wedding – … Continue reading Ka(sal) ni Kim: The People
We knew that getting married in Baguio meant that many of our guests would have to travel, so we wanted to welcome them to the city in the most fabulous way possible. We couldn’t have chosen a better venue to do that than the Frangeli House. Frangeli has two enormous gardens and a three-storey house with stylish yet practical interiors. Originally, we had planned to … Continue reading Ka(sal) ni Kim: Setting the Stage
In the year leading up to the wedding, I consumed a mountain of wedding-related content – blogs, videos, listicles, you name it. And the popular opinion seemed to be that giveaways were a waste of money and time. I got where people were coming from. Weddings are expensive, and you’re already buying your guests dinner and footing the bill for the whole party. Plus, some … Continue reading Ka(sal) ni Kim: The Wedding Favors
We got engaged in 2021 (details here in case you missed it!). For the next year and five-ish months, we poured a lot of time into preparing for the big day. One of the things I was most particular about was what I would wear to walk down the aisle. When I flew to the States to visit my mom, we checked out some wedding … Continue reading Ka(sal) ni Kim: The Dress

Check out the episode on Spotify: Or any of these platforms: Here’s some bonus content (that I didn’t make)! Click through for Rio’s review of Deleter where she talks about Corporate Hell as a fitting stage … Continue reading Final Girl: Deleter
I was one of those pre-teens concerned about breaking my hymen when I should have been more worried about damaging my eardrums. Having gone to Catholic school, our “sex education” was actually abstinence education – and that’s pretty loose use of the word “education”. It might be more accurate to say something like “fear mongering” or “learning via shaming”. To the school’s credit, there was … Continue reading A Look into Nala Biodegradable Tampons
