I was never really pressured in school. When I was younger, I study hard and try my best to make it on the Top 10 so my parents will have no choice but to buy what I want. I am not the smartest in class, but I don’t fail. I never looked at higher grades […]

I love travelling. I love the idea of visiting a new place, enjoying the community, trying new food, and being away from home even for a few days. Let’s admit it. Travel and saving are two concepts which often don’t go well together. When I was younger (and still living with my parents), travelling was […]

Let’s face it. One of the biggest challenges you are facing today, aside from the virus of course, is how to keep the kids busy and entertained. Obviously, whole day of gadget use is NOT recommended. The good news is there are tons of ways to keep the kids preoccupied. In fact, a lot of […]

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, […]

I have a confession to make: I never really cared about health during my younger years. I figured that whatever happens to me, my parents will always be there to save the day.

We experienced a lot of challenges including connectivity issues, adjusting to the new mode of learning, and distractions at home, which could affect the child’s… Apr 6, 2022 | […]

My husband and daughter were on their way home from school sometime last week. Their usual route includes passing by big, mansion-like houses and their conversation went something like this: Daddy: Look at the houses.

I am tasked to pick up my daughter everyday after school and one time, our conversation went like this: L: Mommy, S (her classmate) is the winner in the Spelling Contest. I don’t like. I want to be the winner.  Me: That’s okay. There’s always next time.  L: No, I want to be the winner. […]

Every year, schools conduct an educational field trip since learning doesn’t have to be confined in the four corners, right? Last year, my eldest daughter, who was Pre-K at that time in Gymboree, was scheduled to visit Dolljoy Museum in Pasig. Unfortunately, I got sick, so she wasn’t able to join.  When I found out […]
