My Webtoon Fantasy Versus Him My Reality

I getting addicted reading cartoon Webtoon comics online and even had completed few of them in one day. The male protagonists in most of the stories I read were all described as close to perfect partners every woman desires to be with. The almost too good to be true fantasy characters made me to compare about my husband’s way of caring for me. I once blurted it out to him why he couldn’t be as perfect like the comics I’ve been reading. It’s a ridiculous question, I know! Rather than getting defensive, he laughed it out while saying,” Webtoon  must have gone thru your... Read More

Michie’s Likes

Last week was quite a busy week for Cebu because of the Sinulog Celebration. One of the local festival most Cebuano’s are excited to experience. For the very first time, we let Akyn witness Sinulog sa Kabataan and enjoy the colorful sight of vibrantly dressed street dancers offering their performance to Senior Santo Niño. He was mesmerized with the joyous event seeing children dancing on the street with every beat of the drum. It wasn’t that crowded compared to the actual Sinulog Day, so, we really had a nice spot to view them. The performers came from the different participating... Read More

Mutual Respect

“Our company is sponsoring the Cebu Marathon Run for 2018 for us.” “Can I join?” His question to me before completely signing up for the said marathon. It’s seldom for a man to ask for a woman’s opinion with regard to any decisions relating to his hobby. But in a married life, it’s a crucial part to let your partner know these details. I don’t see it as a sign of weakness for a man to consider his partner’s opinion. Rather, I find it as a gesture of respect. Respect in considering the feelings of your spouse before making a...

Akyn’s Shopping Loot for January

The year 2018 finally started. Happy New Year to all. It’s a brand new year which means a fresh start for everyone. I haven’t figured out any specific New Years resolution yet. I guess, all I want to do is to improve whatever aspects in me that can be refined better. Perhaps, a change of attitude which will help me to become a better version of myself. I need to write these down to be specific, I know. I’ll have some time for that task. Let’s talk about something I did for the start of the year instead and will share... Read More

Boys’ Time Off

Once in a while, it’s good to be relaxed and get entertained merely by seeing the beauty of the local place without spending too much for a luxury get-away. It was a great opportunity for my boys to unwind last Sunday when my in-laws came to visit Cebu. A well-timed experience for Akyn to spend time with his cousins from Naval, Biliran. It was a boys' time-off for them while the workaholic me was working. The whole gang went to visit the Miraculous Virgin Mary of Simala, Sibonga. I last went there when I asked help for my first pregnancy. If I can... Read More

Buko Pandan Salad Recipe

Mama celebrated her birthday yesterday and I was the one in charge in the kitchen for the preparation of food. Can you believe that? Miraculously, I survived the challenge of being a chef just for my mother's special day. I'll share to you my first time experience in making a Buko Pandan Salad. A celebration won’t be complete without the presence of the sweetness of a dessert. It's a bit exciting experimenting my power in coming up with the dessert using my own instinct in adjusting its ingredients depending on the number of servings I want to make. Ingredients good for 10-12... Read More
