How does it feel to be mostly staying at home when you are not at work during this time especially to those married couples? Expectation wise many would think you can have some SOLO time with your partner. Well, nice if you got it because for us it's different. It's always the THREE of us. Akyn would sing this line, "Just the three of us all over the world tonight," as a reminder that the three of us should always go together. Nobody must be left behind. I'm not complaining about it anyway. I do think it as a blessing... Read More

Mr. Sun is up for a couple of days now except for today with the weather looking a bit gloomy and cold. This is the perfect weather if we are staying at home for the whole day but not when we are going on a shift. I'll be on duty after three hours making me lazy to go out of bed especially if we've just came from a three days off. You know that feeling of getting used to the routine in staying at home with no work to worry. I LOVE IT. So what made you busy while in... Read More

The days of having the freedom to go to shopping malls whenever you want to is currently suspended and so as my one source of relaxation is put to a halt. Noooo!(LOL) I love going to shop during my rest days. It recharges my exhausted self. Trying to justify my spending habit, ey? Because of the stay at home policy our shopping activity were switched to online browsing for non essential goods. Bet most of us can relate of being only allowed to do grocery shopping for our basic needs. It's something new for all of us. UK extended its... Read More

It's my rest day finally after four straight nights. Wohoo I survived! Thank you Lord. What's the plan for today? Just get some groceries with either me or Mon going because of the imposed lockdown policy then going back home spending time with my family. That's it really for now, no shopping, no fun travel, nothing. It's like we are back to the life in the past wherein home is the perfect place to hang out. Something positive from the dilemma we are all facing. "But when will this pandemic crisis come to an end?" This is everybody's question about... Read More

Staying home has never been boring at all to me now that my boys are finally here. There are just so many things to do at home. It's really up to your creativeness on how you make each moment seem interesting pretty mommas. First thing to finish in my to do list for today is to publish a post for my blog. An overdue post that has not been published for a couple of weeks now. Migrating to a new country also equates to loads of adjustments  and things to accomplish as a new settler. Had to guide my boys... Read More

A month has passed before I managed to create another post for my Akynfullhouse. What made me busy this past few weeks? Still felt elated with my four weeks vacation in going to the Philippines, my home. Yay! It took me almost a year before finally having the chance to spend time with my family. A challenge not everyone can surpass of being away for this long, isn't it true? Quite worried at first about my flight because of too many concerns going on. First, the worry about the current COVID-19. I'm praying so hard this world health concern would... Read More

I would say so much was going on today making it hard for me to absorb everything, really. First, I had to cancel my flight I've been excited to go since October of last year because of the 2019 Novel Corona virus. My lay over is in Hong Kong which would mean all flights either connecting or directly coming from Hong Kong passengers shall be placed under a quarantine in Cebu, my expected place of arrival. I can't afford to be part of that group for fourteen days. Each day of my vacation means so much for an overseas worker.... Read More

Because it is my rest day I've already made plans on how to spend it two days before I went off on duty. Isn't it obvious how much I am looking forward to chill out a bit? You know it when we are on the adulting phase already because we are so much excited to be leaving from work on time not because we got some night gigs to attend to. Rather, we wanted to spend a peaceful "ME TIME" with no stress, no rush just us enjoying what we love. So what's up for today? First things first, decided... Read More

Couldn't believe I've spent the whole day in bed after my consecutive night shifts! I must be very exhausted I should say. But to be honest, although it is true that nursing is a demanding job asking so much from our energy, I still feel excited everyday in going to work merely because it's not boring. I love it when it's busy and you're trying to compete with the time to finish all your errands as it makes the shift pass without noticing it. While having my dinner in our staff room a doctor asked me,"How do you manage to... Read More

Rest days would also mean a video call day for my Akyn. A routine common to mommas working as an overseas nurse. I wouldn't think it unfortunate to be away because I certainly know this is just temporary. I'd rather consider this journey as a blessing making way for my dreams to come into reality. Many desired to be here but only few are determined to face the struggles to be a UK nurse. To make the story short, so here I am now doing my role as a mum abroad for my boy during my day off. Something amazing... Read More

I've just had at least four hours of sleep after my two straight night shifts. I survived! Tomorrow I will be back to being a normal human being again reporting to work on a day schedule. Honestly, I would prefer to be on a graveyard shift when on duty because I could organize my task more with lesser interruptions, no doctor's order not unless in emergency cases, less people who'll keep on misplacing all your patients'documents. It's one of my pet peeves when someone uses my stuff and wouldn't return it as how it was  before borrowing it. I don't... Read More

The world is enjoying the peaceful night to rest their tired body while the chatty me is up to write on something before my thoughts will get distracted. How was your Christmas celebration? I had a different kind of Christmas this year. I would say it's kind of something both joyful and a little sad with a mixture of an unexpected drama. A bit sad because it's my first Christmas to be away from my family. But at the same time, I'm happily enjoying the fruits of my labor to make my dream come into a reality in pursuing my...

Few hours left before Christmas, it is. Many are in a rush doing holiday shopping. Kitchens are all smelling with delightful food prepared for the family gathering tonight. Everyone seems busy while here I am all tucked in my bed completing this post before I'll head to work tonight. Chill mode activated! I'm done wrapping with all my presents last night, anyway. So I really got nothing to get myself busy with. As they said Christmas is about sharing with what you have, a time when generosity overflows. I just love it. Nothing beats with my favorite time of the... Read More

I can now confirm that I am definitely not a winter lover. Used to wish of experiencing snow especially during summer time way back home but now I'm taking it back. I DO NOT  like this kind of extreme coldness. It's stressing me out! Wish I got the same power like Elsa of Arendelle to enjoy winter as she does. If I can only expedite the change of season right now?Not yet fully recovered from my colds and cough for this week though. Thankful still for my rest days allowing me to spend time with my hobby to write on... Read More

It took me ages to publish the second half of our trip because the workaholic me is back to my original work mode addict. Is there any tablet to cure this addiction to working, do you know? I honestly don't either. This love for work will then continue until further notice. After having a well rested night from our first London exploration madness we were both all set to start another exciting non stop walk with alternating photo-shoot taking. What's the top on the list to accomplish? Sherlock Holmes. Say what? You've read it right. Sherlock Holmes' place in London.... Read More

I got quite a few post to make for this month and all of them are still pending for completion. Maybe this cold weather is making my writing mode slower than it used to be. Looking forward for the warmer season or should I say excited to go home to my tropical country in a couple of calendar flips from now. Yay! See you Cebu. This post is the continuation of my previous post of our London do-it-your-own tour. After all the troubles of our accommodation has been settled we started our trip right away. It felt like we needed... Read More
