DIY Cat Scratcher
My housemates were about to throw a cardboard box, but I asked if I can have it instead. I don’t like spending. I also think if I can reuse something before throwing them away.
I flatten the cardboard box and my cat jumped over it and started scratching. I had a Eureka moment! I’ll made a cat scratcher out of it since I have no plans at all for the day and I’m bored.
Supplies needed: Old cardboard, scissors, utility knife / cutter, packaging tape
Pancake Art
I saw Slappy Cakes featured on television and it really got my attention. It’s a brilliant concept for business. Customers to make their own pancake on their table. That would mean buying the pancake batter and toppings, then cooking it yourself as creative as you can get.
Trusting God
When things don’t happen the way we plan it, God must have a better plan.
Have you ever been in a situation when you’re thankful because what you have or where you are is better than what you wanted?
Adorable Alphabet Song
Not perfect, but the most adorable alphabet song I’ve heard. Here’s a video of my niece when she was younger.
Rare Crocodile
I can name some rare animals that can be found in the Philippines. I didn’t know these freshwater crocs I saw last summer in Puerto Princesa, Palawan was one of them.
A Philippine Crocodile doesn’t grow bigger than 10 ft, but saltwater crocs can grow bigger. Rio de Palawan is the biggest in the province at 17.5 ft, but Lolong is the biggest in the Philippines and even made it to the Guinness World Records at 20.24 ft in 2012.

Amazing Little Creature
Tarsier is one of the smallest primate in the world. In the Philippines, it’s famous to be found in the province of Bohol. When visiting Tarsier Santuary, strict rules are implemented like no camera flash when taking photos and to keep quiet. These little creatures are very sensitive and will commit suicide when stressed.
Groot Cupcake
I was organizing a small birthday gathering and wanted to order cupcakes. I searched online where I can get a customized cupcake near Bonifacio Global City and found Chef Francesca’s Cupcakes Couture’s facebook page, instagram, and website.
Got Her First Hulahoop
Saw this video of my niece on my Facebook album but can’t embed it on WordPress. Re-uploaded in Youtube and here you go.
She’s so gorgeous! Definitely share worthy! I wonder what her reaction will be when she sees herself 3 years ago. Enjoy watching as much as I did!
