Stay At Home

How does it feel staying at home without thinking of getting early the following day to report to work? Absolutely relaxing. I've been wanting to experience this to get some free time away from stress. I should savor this moment while waiting for something to get me going facing the reality again of a working Momma life. So what keeps me busy at home? Nothing, just spending a quality time with my family especially with my Akyn. I've mentioned to you in one of my post about my experience of getting my arm muscles sore after I manually used a... Read More

Chase What Matters

After almost eight years of service as a Chase employee, I never expected this day would come to finally say goodbye to my usual routine.(tears)Today is the last day of my shift as a banker of one of the world’s most renowned bank. I felt both happy because finally, I can get to practice what I really wanted to do and at the same time, sad for leaving the company closest to my heart. I don’t know but perhaps most of you can relate to this weird ambivalent feeling when resigning from your work for how many years. Reminiscing back... Read More

Third Birthday Best Shots

I received Akyn’s photos on his third birthday celebration weeks ago and still haven’t posted them all in my Facebook account. Since I started creating this blog, I prefer to post those memorable photos here than in my social media. Why? Because I just don’t feel like sharing it. Duh! Lol.☺ Seriously, the main reason why I love posting them in Akynfullhouse for the fact that I can express more details about the pictures here. I can go detail by detail on what’s the story behind the shots. Isn’t that a better way of letting the viewers know a little... Read More

Dessert Buffet and Party Clown

A birthday party can never be complete without a cake. Of course, it’s the highlight of the event that everybody is waiting for the blowing of candles. Have you observed it when someone sees you buying a cake, the first question will usually be, “Who is celebrating his birthday?” Nobody will ask you if you are celebrating a town fiesta with a cake. Try asking it and let’s see how they would react if you'll ask, ”Where’s the town fiesta for this cake order?” Sounded so awkward! Lol☺ For Akyn’s birthday, I had two suppliers for my dessert. My Toy... Read More

Simply Jessie Balloon

It took me a while before I created a post regarding Akyn’s third birthday party suppliers. Sorry guys. This working mom’s schedule got so hectic rushing to complete all requirements needed for me to comply. Let’s start with our balloon decoration supplier. As I mentioned in one of my post, my grade school classmate is the sole owner of Simply Jessie Balloons, Miss Jessie Lee. While scrolling with my Facebook news feed, her business page came up. The sample designs from her previous customers looked so nicely prepared with the positive reviews from the clients. I contacted her without knowing... Read More

Sweet Treat

After the dental appointment, Akyn's Godmother, Emma, had agreed to meet us to see her Godchild. It's been a while since she last saw our Akyn. Yesterday was the perfect time to meet up when both our schedules were available. Yey! I'm thankful for the free time granted for me to spend time with my dearest friends. Unlike those days when I was still studying where I got all the spare time to go wherever I wanted to. The only concern was I got no budget to do so. And now, I may have the funds to splurge for an... Read More

First Tooth Extraction

As scheduled by Akyn’s dentist, we went for his tooth extraction appointment yesterday. During our first check up I was advised to set Akyn’s mind regarding the coming dental appointment to at least calm down my toddler's feelings and lessen his fears. That’s going to be a challenging task for me then. My boy is so playful which would mean every conversation we have doesn’t necessary follows his full attention is with me talking to him. Most of the time, he is only enjoying having a mommy-baby playtime moment without paying attention to the details of the discussion in between . I still tried... Read More

Unexpected Dental Appointment

Our typical day turned out to give us full of unexpected planned trips for today. A week before, we’ve already planned to celebrate Mama’s birthday by going to a family movie trip. Excited to choose which of the Metro Manila Film Fest for 2018 should we watch. They got plenty of options to choose from with nice online reviews. Wohoo! Another relaxing adventure for us plus I didn’t need to spend more because I got two free movie tickets sponsored by my employer for being a diligent employee of the month(wink). So, how did our day start? The original plan... Read More

Toy Story Standee

Since October of 2018 during Elaine’s house warming, my college circle of friends already agreed to have our mini reunion celebration on the same date of Akyn’s third birthday celebration. Thank you guys for sticking to the agreed plan. It’s less costly because our food, the venue and the entire preparation shall be done all at once. We talked a little bit of our plans ahead of time on what we were supposed to do during the event such as our games, the exchange gifts and the time of the gathering. I got voluntold to be the host. I got... Read More

Closing The Book For 2018

If someone will ask you on how you can describe your 2018, will you say it was such an amazing year for you or will it be the opposite of it? So many things happened for this year. It gave me an emotional roller coaster experience for the entire year. I had both the feelings of getting exhilarated with happiness and had also hit the bottom rock of life. I’m still grateful for my 2018 for I’ve learned so many things that I can keep forever. I managed to get up when I stumbled and had scraped my knees. It... Read More
