Things Have Changed

I do always consider “First experience” as a sweet memorable thing for us. Akyn opened doors for several “First Time”, not just in parenting but as a whole family. Excited like most first time parents would feel, the three of us love exploring those moments of being together. Unknowingly, our first time activities of being a family had made changes to our accustomed pattern of doing things in the same way like we used to do it as husband  and wife. Whether it’s as simple like dining together or spending a budget get-away, each marks a considerable happy encounter. One interesting aspect I’ve... Read More

A Good Father

How can someone be considered as a “Good Father” to his child? Are there any specific qualifications needed to be met before a man can claim to be called as a responsible daddy. If you’ll search it in google, it will provide us a long list of answers. It’s kind of hard to define it using the different ideal characteristics of a perfect dad. What if one of the qualities we’re looking for isn’t possessed by our husband? Will that mean he won’t qualify to have such honor? I simply define a “Good Father” as someone who purely loves his...

Separation Anxiety

Akyn is becoming more clingy to his Daddy as they spend more time to play during Mon’s free time. It’s a daily routine of crying and wailing begging for more time to spend with him every time his father is about to head to work. How do you handle such behavior of your toddler? This is mostly the dilemma of working parents when you’re torn between staying at home with your child or going to work. If we could only do both responsibilities at the same time, we would gladly do it. What my child is experiencing is what they coined... Read More

Making Choices

On my way home yesterday, I saw a man bathing under the old bridge of Marcelo Fernan. What caught my attention was the way he enjoyed the sea with the waves steadily creeping towards him. I watched him soaking his body in the middle of the water using a piece of an empty bucket. He filled the bucket with water then poured it down slowly dripping from his hair to his body. He could have just swum right away as what people would normally do. But why did he do it differently from what was accustomed? Maybe he didn’t know how... Read More

A Kilo Of Eggplant

Sunday, when you’re at work but your body is conditioned to stay at home supposedly spending a lazy day with your family. Bummer! If I only have the freedom to choose my own work schedules…. that would be totally terrific! Many of you can relate to my sentiments, I know. Let’s think about something positive for yesterday instead. Mon and I decided to head home together after they had their Team building sponsored by their company. I often get envy with how their employer values them. As per Mon, whenever they do raise a concern about anything related to work,... Read More

Lowest Form of Wit

As per the famous quote of Oscar Wilde, "Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit.” I certainly agree with him because you don’t need to exercise a higher analytical thinking of scorning others with the sharpness of your tongue. How do you handle talking to a sarcastic person? Do you find the conversation helpful by any chance? Or do you find it mean and insensitive? I also can’t stand dealing with sarcasm. My system isn’t programmed to withstand those particular brand of humor. I find it hurtful to attack someone just for the purpose of being funny. Either it’s done... Read More

At The Heart Of The City

Because we were invited to my husband’s friend wedding in the city, we decided to book for an overnight stay in one of the nearby hotel. Choosing our accommodation wasn’t that difficult since the wedding reception (Casino Espanyol Cebu) is perfectly near several hotels for us to choose from. Quite satisfied for choosing Summit Circle as our resting place while preparing for the event. For only P2977.00 with free breakfast buffet for two. An additional fee of P250.00 for breakfast if you have an extra person apart from the 2 guests allowed. It was already a good catch for us! Another... Read More

That One True Love

Just after celebrating our own 4th wedding anniversary, here we are attending another joyous celebration of a beautiful union of our friend. Weddings always give me a happy feeling of seeing how couples share their love and vow for a lifetime commitment. I can clearly remember our Priest during our wedding, Father Amores, once said: “When the time comes you both feel you are ready to give up with your marriage, always try to remember this day, your Wedding Day.” ”Reminisce the overwhelming happiness of your love and remember the promise you made today.” He’s right. It was indeed one... Read More
