I used to think that adults know better than the younger ones. Think of the knowledge they gained and the experiences they went through, plus the number of years ahead of me, it’s obvious that I will learn from those who are older than me. Well, not all the time. Apparently, kids can still impart […]

I always look forward to the Christmas season when I was younger. Aside from a trip up north where we spend the holidays with my mom’s side of the family, I can’t wait for Noche Buena and opening of gifts by 12 midnight. The traditional Bingo and other games also keep us alive on the eve of […]

I’ve been hearing a lot about Stacy’s from friends and relatives since two years ago. Because of busy schedule, I wasn’t able to find time and was only able to visit the place last Friday, October 4. My sisters, daughter and I decided to check out the place in Capitol Hills one afternoon. When I […]

One of the ways to keep me sane is to meet up with friends. It doesn’t happen very often because of busy schedules, but we do our best to find time. It helps me refresh, get away from home even… Continue reading → I’ve been reading a couple of articles about Paper Moon. I wanted […]

I am excited for this year’s Halloween celebration. We don’t attend any Halloween parties because I find it challenging to handle two babies with lots of people around. So it was my eldest daughter’s first time to do trick or treating – and it was in her school. One of the main events in my daughter’s […]

There’s mango overload at home. I already ate it as it is (everyday), made mango shake (every other day) and used it for mango-banana float since I don’t like throwing food away. I even gave out mangoes to my parents… Continue reading → I don’t like wasting and throwing food. I would rather have it […]

I always make it a point to bake every week. And last week, I decided to combine fruit cocktail and brownies into one. When it comes to brownies, people always use nuts, chocolate chips, corn flakes or even colored sprinkles. I have never eaten a brownie with fruits in it (okay fine, I tried the ones […]

Last Friday, October 9, my daughter’s preschool had a walking trip around the mall. Since the second quarter is about community helpers, the purpose of the walking trip is to get to know and see firsthand what community helpers do such as dentists, bakers, barbers, etc. At the same time, it is a good opportunity […]

Said my almost four-year old daughter. I was in the middle of a writing task, which I need to submit ASAP, when my daughter incessantly calls my attention. She wants to play. She wants me to read her a story. She wants me to draw Peppa Pig or Bing Bong or whoever character she could […]

One of the ways to keep me sane is to meet up with friends. It doesn’t happen very often because of busy schedules, but we do our best to find time. It helps me refresh, get away from home even for a few hours, and think about other things aside from kids.  Last weekend, I […]

Don’t you just love technology, especially when you don’t have to line up for hours just to get a single documents they can print in seconds? I never tried lining up in NSO just to get my birth certificate. I… Continue reading → I didn’t have much time to prepare for my eldest’s baptism. In […]

August is known as the Buwan ng Wika in the Philippines. At this time of the year, we all pay tribute and importance to the Filipino language, remember and play Filipino games, and conduct activities to better understand the Filipino… Continue reading → Time flies really fast. And when you have kids, time flies even […]

 “Are you okay? What’s wrong with you? Why don’t you tell me what’s happening?”  These are the questions my husband keeps on asking me for the past weeks (or even months!). Either I’ll pretend I didn’t hear his question or… Continue reading → Okay, don’t get me wrong here. I love my husband, I really […]

I have always been dependent on household helpers. Although my parents taught me to do chores when I was younger, I still find it easier and more convenient when someone do the dishes, laundry and cleaning for me. No, I am not lazy. I just have other things (such as my work and taking care […]
