I had a picture of a perfect mom in my mind. Before I got pregnant, I told myself I’ll be the most fabulous and most patient mom in the universe. I’ll try my best not to get mad at my kids and promised to do this and that. After all, our kids are reflection of […]
I love pasta in all forms. Since then, I prefer cooking my own pasta meals instead of buying from restos. It was a good thing my husband loves pasta too, which makes it easier for me in the kitchen since I am not the best cook around. Few weeks ago, we attended our neighbor’s birthday […]
Let me tell you something: Sofitel will always have a special place in my heart. When I was younger, my family and I would often go to Sofitel, then Westin, to celebrate important occasions – birthday, my parents’ anniversary, you name it. At times, Westin will always be our sweet escape. This is why the […]
I never really understood the importance of breastfeeding until I became a mom. My mother did not breastfeed me and, modesty aside, I think I turned out well. But when it’s now my time to be a mother, I realize that I want to give the best to my kids. The childbirth class I attended […]
After college, I worked in the Corporate Banking Division of one of the biggest banks in the country. So yeah, I know a lot about loans, interests, mortgage, and even foreclosure of properties. I know how banks work and how they make money using your money. I have seen how some of our clients fight […]
We had so much plans this summer. There’s the family trip to Japan after the Holy Week, the Baguio trip with the husband sans kids, museums the kids and I are planning to visit, and the classes we plan to enroll our kids. Of course, I couldn’t wait for that eight hours uninterrupted sleep and […]
It’s rainy season again mommas. This means water will once again fill the Angat Dam and we can finally say goodbye to no water days! Yay! Kidding aside, rainy seasons means (a lot of) class suspension, which I’m sure kids will be happy about. Apparently, we can’t go out as much as we want to […]
During our dating days, then-boyfriend-now-husband and I love to eat out and care less about how much we spend in one night. When we started living together, we’re not the most frugal couple and spend thousands in the grocery buying anything we think tastes good. Thanks to an apparition, a reality check or a sudden […]
Jan 5, 2022 | Reviews, Travels We always go on a family trip few days after Christmas. It’s the perfect time to celebrate our eldest’s birthday as well so we always take this opportunity to go somewhere. Hotels are our favorite but this time, we decided to go to the beach. Plus, it’s been years… […]
May 16, 2022 | Reviews, Travels The husband and I agreed to go on a family trip every summer. It’s a good way to relax, unwind, and just spend uninterrupted time with the kids even for a few days. We’ve been eyeing Las Casas in Bataan for quite sometime now and for this year’s trip, […]
Well, hello there, summer. To be honest, I was looking forward to the end of classes. This means I can get back to my regular programming, the home program that is, and not worry about being late for class or what food to prepare for baon. I have more time to do chores and keep […]
Motherhood changed me in so many ways, my weight included. From XS, I jumped to medium and refused to buy anything with L on it. It didn’t bother me that much since my weight is still “fine” with my height. … until the dresses I bought last December don’t fit me anymore. It was a […]
Admit it. This whole Covid-19 pandemic and the entire island being placed under Enhanced Community Quarantine tested us physically, emotionally, and mentally. Worse, it also affected us financially. After all, not all industries could implement work-from-home options. Instead of “living,” we all shifted to “surviving.” Yes, it’s a struggle especially for our pockets. Like they […]
I always find joy in flipping pages of our photo albums every time I’m in my parents’ house. With the advent of technology, those chunky photo albums were replaced by SD cards. I didn’t give much fuss about it until the kids are starting to get bigger and asking how come they don’t have photo […]
