Three Decades

Imagine when you’re writing a story and you’re almost done finishing the end part of your novel, suddenly you decided to stop and discard everything that you’ve started because you think nobody’s interested with your piece. After a few minutes, you’ll try to make another story again and the cycle continues. That’s what I am feeling as of the moment, cancelling all my plans for my weekends and creating another plan again. I was a bit exhilarated to celebrate one of the days I think is special to me. I’ve been planning several preparations to enjoy it since the first... Read More

For The Broken Hearted

“Mich, have you tried being broken hearted?” A question that totally caught my attention when a colleague of mine asked me this morning. I answered her question with a direct yes. It’s been a while, I should say when I had my heart broken before my path crossed with my husband. It’s a devastating pain which most of us can relate to, not unless you’re love story is as perfect as compared to a fairytale love. Being engaged in a romantic love is one of the sweetest feeling and can be incredibly mystical especially during the very first stage of... Read More

How To Keep Your Momentum To Be Positive

Recently, I’ve talked to one of my friends sharing her experience about nearly losing the will to continue fighting for her aim. Motivation is quite something that is not an easy task to maintain, I believe on that harsh reality.

Motivation then is going to be the meat of this blog post. It’s difficult to keep your motivation when every fiber of your being is screaming that you’re ready to give in. When... Read More

Happy Birthday Song As A Cradle Song

My son exhibits a new behavior before going to sleep every night. He will always check on me if I am beside him. He will pitch a fit if he finds out that I am away from his side. He’s getting more clingy making me wanted to spend more time at home. It’s one of the struggles of a working Mom trying to divide my time between my job and my family. I often feel the guilt seeing my child left at home every time I am heading to work. Someday, a better opportunity may come for us to spend more time... Read More

Making The Most Of My Family Time

Every rest day, I scheduled it as a day to spend with my family especially with my toddler. I am making the most of everything while I still can, before my dreams will be fully realized which may affect my time with my loved ones. I refrain from engaging myself to anything work related during my time off. Rest days for me, now, are meant to be enjoyed with them. I work when I am at work and I rest while being with my family when it’s my scheduled day off. I have so much in my to-do -list to... Read More

The Terrible Two

Have you heard about a parenting phenomenon they coined as the Terrible Two stage? I’ve read about some articles about it and found out that it was an old myth which wasn’t supported with any established evidence. Every child is unique and they exhibit different developmental milestones based on their unique timetable. Extreme tantrums as associated with the age 2 can also be displayed in different age group. With my child, I’ve noticed a new development with Akyn recently. My fully mobile 22 months old toddler is now exhibiting tantrums when his curiosity to everything is being restricted. He wants...
