When My Toddler Suddenly Became A Teenager With His New Look

I kept on postponing Akyn’s haircut day for the past 3 weeks and finally, yesterday I was able to push thru with the plan. A bit hesitant at first to have his hair cut for I was expecting he would make a scene by the moment a stranger would touch his hair. He even easily gets annoyed if I will play with his hair at home. How much more if strangers will do that to his hair. To stop Mon from bugging me on when should we visit a barber shop, I decided to have it yesterday, my day off. The first barber shop we... Read More

Akyn’s Monthly Photos for His 1st Year

My Mama loves collecting family pictures and keeping them on a photo album. When I asked her about why she would spend her money to have those pictures printed, she told me that it will serve as our remembrance of our childhood. Those pictures will help us reminisce important occasions, family gatherings and other memories that we wouldn't want to forget. Now that I am starting to have my own family, I practiced the same hobby that my Mama loves to collect. I bought my own camera to capture those memories. I’ll be sharing with you my Akyn’s monthly pictures... Read More

Sofa Upholstery Repair

Please say "Hello" to Akyn's new pair of sandals before I will start sharing the meat of today's blog entry. His Dad gave him a surprise gift last night. Aww♥ How thoughtful! Akyn slept last night holding his new footwear close to him. I guess, he just loved it so much and didn't want the sandals to be out of his sight. What a grateful toddler!   My Mama happened to asked one of our neighbors last week about their newly delivered Sofa Set. Out of her curiosity, she asked as to where did they purchase them? She was amazed when she was told... Read More

Bloopers in 1,2,3

I had a good laugh yesterday with my friend who happens to be one of the managers in our department. Let’s just call her "Sexy Boss" as her nickname for this blog entry. We agreed to visit an appointment together after our regular shift. We passed by a fast food restaurant which offered almost 50% off of their regular price and we decided to give it a try. The only catch for their promotion was “NO SHARING OF FOOD ALLOWED and if you would decide to dine out the left over food, you had to pay an extra fee. I... Read More

Safety Tips In Riding a Cab

I started my day ruining my weekly budget in going to work. I do always set a budget on how much expenses  I need to spend in traveling from our home to the office. My schedule changed just for today, as I requested for it, so I can leave early from work to attend to some family priorities. I used the same route in going to the office which I am familiar with during my regular schedule, but to my dismay the public utility Jeepney took forever before it would finally start its engine. The driver would wait until the vehicle...

When Things Didn’t Happen As Expected

It’s frustrating when things don’t turn out the way we hoped and imagined it to happen. Mon was expecting something to happen on his professional career that could have helped him achieve the skills he needed for his career advancement but unfortunately it was cancelled. Well, that’s life. There are things that we can’t control no matter how hard we try to make it happen, but how we respond to the situation will always depend on us and that's what matters most. Is it easy to let go and let the universe control over it? Of course not, but life... Read More

Easterrific Sunday 2017

My Easter Sunday started with a heavy rain followed by a terrible flood in going to the office. I tried different routes for me to arrive to my workplace but everything seemed to fail. I decided to head home and had informed my direct supervisor that I wouldn't be able to report to work for today. Who would want to report to work if you we're completely drenched by the rain and your shoes were soaked with muddy water? Anyway, let's focus on the positive event that happened today (April 16,2017). Last Thursday, Mon and I decided to let Akyn experience for... Read More

Part of Us That We Will Cherish Forever

Before I slept last night, I gave my husband a random question for him to reflect about our marriage. I love engaging in a meaningful conversation with him because I can sense that he always take my questions seriously and he provides honest answers too. I asked him about his insights and realization about how we are in the past as couples and how it affected our relationship in our married life. He paused for a moment, trying to organize his thoughts. He normally does that whenever I ask him something. This was his response: MON: I’ve realized that we... Read More

Socializing My Toddler

Mon and I planned it a week ago we will bring Akyn to a playhouse in one of the Malls in Cebu for the first time, for him to see the other kids playing. We wanted him to increase his social skills since he spends most of his time at home playing alone and seldom sees other children. Akyn is still a year and 3 months old with social skills which are not yet developed. When we brought him to the play house, he tended to engage mostly in a Parallel play. He played next to the other children without... Read More

Childhood Flashback

I was on my way to the office riding a public transport vehicle when the driver played a 90’s hit music. It felt so refreshing listening to my childhood music genres. When I passed by the food stalls near where our office is located, I heard 90’s love songs too. It’s not Thursday yet to do throwback, but I guess this day wants me to reminisce my childhood memories. There is a huge difference if we will compare the 90’s generation to the new generation of today, where computers and highly powered gadgets are available in the market. I would... Read More

Hilariously Embarrassing Moment

A close pretty babe of mine, I’m not going to mention her name as I promised to her, asked me if I could go with her last Saturday to go window shopping. She’s planning to purchase a new phone but couldn’t decide yet what model she wanted to buy for herself. I didn’t hesitate to go with her since my Saturday schedule was vacant and I love spending time with her too. When we arrived to one of the Cellphone Shops in town, we were amazed with the number of customers who were also checking the latest mobile phone models.... Read More

How Thoughtful Are You?

Pasalubong is a Filipino term which means a gift from someone returning from a trip. It brings excitement and happiness to us while waiting for our love ones to arrive home safely. This is one thing that I am excited to receive from Mon whenever he is away from home for a long travel or even if he is just away from his work office. I’m like a 7 year old child at heart eagerly waiting for him to come home. Mon usually arrives home late from work. Sometimes, both Akyn and Me are already sleeping when he arrives. He... Read More
