My son is going away. :'(

My son, Ralph, is going away soon — and I’m having a hard time coming to terms with it.

You see, Ralph has long been preparing for his first job as part of the cabin crew of an airline company. For those who aren’t aware, he applied for the job last year when we heard that this airline company was hiring in Manila.

For those curious, the airline company’s headquarters where my son will be training and working at is located in Malaysia. This is where our son would be based for two (2) years once he starts his job.

0 Comment July 31, 2018

I love competitive sports. It’s something that has always been a part of my life ever since I was a kid. Perhaps many of the reasons why I am who I am now is because of the many values I have learned by engaging in sports. Values such as determination, persistence and motivation.

That’s why when I had kids of my own, I made sure they would develop a deep love for sports as well. Until now, I encourage them every chance I get. Of course, it goes without saying that the physical aspect of sports has its health benefits as well.

For the longest time, I’ve been trying to find the perfect type of sport that we can engage in together. Something that we would enjoy participating in and become one of our best ways to bond as a family.

I believe I may have found just the thing.

This leads me to the real topic of this blog post… Read more

VLOG: Sportsfest at Kids World with The Dreys!

0 Comment October 27, 2017

My wife and I are very competitive in every single thing we do. We love to outdo one another so much that it becomes hilarious at times.

So, it wasn’t any wonder that when our daughter’s (Isabella) school — Kids World — had their sportsfest last October 21, 2017, we attended the event with our game faces on. Hahaha! I’m always game for a little bit of competition every now and then. So was my wife.

There were lots of fun activities during the sportsfest and I had a great time bonding with Ella’s other schoolmates and classmates, not to mention her teachers and other parents.

Four Seasons Buffet and Hotpot - Cubao - Araneta Center - Yen Birthday Lunch Celebration

VLOG: My wife’s birthday lunch at Four Seasons Buffet and Hotpot in Cubao

0 Comment September 28, 2017

My wife just recently turned 41… Yay! “The Dreys” (that’s us!) made sure to celebrate this special occasion by way of a fun and totally spontaneous lunch out at the Araneta Center, Cubao branch of Four Seasons Buffet and Hotpot.

One of the main reasons why we chose this place is because my wife absolutely loves Chinese food. And since I’m not really partial to that kind of cuisine (not that I don’t like it, though), we figured that Four Seasons Buffet and Hotpot would offer the best of both worlds. She gets her Chinese fix and hotpot goodness (plus points for that!) and I get to enjoy the kind of dishes I love like steak, shrimp tempura and sushi!

And since this was a quick afternoon escape that included every single person in the household, that meant Max — out teacup Pomeranian — had to come along, too. Why? Because no one would be able to watch over him at home while we’re out. Unfortunately, the restaurant we were going to doesn’t allow animals inside. So, we decided to drop Max off at Pet Express located just 10 minutes away by foot from Four Seasons Buffet and Hotpot. Pet Express offers boarding services during operating hours. It was the perfect solution. (They only charge Php50 per hour in case you wanna know.)

I recently took my family on a quick road trip to Nueva Ecija to check out the recently opened branch of Isdaan Floating Restaurant.

Isdaan Floating Restaurant has long been a popular destination and stopover spot for locals and tourists alike. They serve great food and offer up some fun and novelty attractions.

If you’ve already been to their original branch in Tarlac and fell in love with its unique ambiance, you’re surely gonna enjoy Isdaan in Nueva Ecija. It retains the same atmosphere and ambiance that we have come to know.

Finding home and a sense of belonging at Golfhill Gardens

0 Comment June 24, 2017

Finding a new place to live in is no small task. It takes a considerable amount time studying options, considering and reconsidering many other aspects. And if you’re a family guy, like me, you probably already know that finding the right place for your wife and kids is no small matter. It is, in fact, of utmost importance.

I personally love residential places that are located right in the heart of the city, yet seemingly so secluded that it actually makes you feel far away from it. It’s possible, you know. Places that are situated inside the busy and metro, but isolated from the noise and frantic lifestyle.

If you happen to be looking for such a place (or even if you aren’t yet), I’ll let you in on a secret. (Whispers) There’s this exclusive residential condominium I know of that is strategically located close to every action that happens in the city and, at the same time, offers the peacefulness of the suburban lifestyle.

This wonderful place is called Golfhill Gardens.

It’s really amazing how the internet has revolutionized our way of life in every way possible, wouldn’t you agree?

Apart from the ways our connected world has changed the way we work, play, learn and socialize, it has even incredibly altered our viewing habits.

I remember back when I was a kid, we only had 5 television channels (2, 4, 7, 9 and 13). 24-hour programming, let alone cable television were remotely even figments of one’s imagination. Apart from that, cartoon programs were only shown every 4PM in the afternoon and during Saturday mornings. Bummer, right?

Today, not only has 24-hour cable programming become common even to the regular joe, it is actually slowly losing its market all thanks to the way high-speed broadband internet connections have changed the way we consume entertainment content.

In our household, our family hardly watches regular television programs on cable television anymore. We don’t find ourselves rushing home, trying to catch the start of a particular show anymore. That’s because everyone in our house has gone the way of STREAMING content — all thanks to our recently installed Globe at Home high-speed broadband internet connection.

The many reasons why #TheDreys love the Ford Explorer

0 Comment May 23, 2017

A couple of weeks ago, I had the opportunity to drive the Ford Ranger to Victoria, Tarlac, to check out Bambike and the positive force for change they have become for the Gawad Kalinga community. It was one amazing day trip that was equally enjoyable as it was eye-opening.

Just recently, I had the pleasure of taking the beautifully engineered Ford Explorer out for a spin. During this time, I drove my family up to Baguio City for some much needed rest and recreation.

From the moment, I first sat inside the driver’s seat of this handsome baby, I immediately knew that the Ford Explorer was going to be a joy to experience. Boy, was I right! Not only that… it actually exceeded my expectations in terms of performance, features, and delightful surprises.
