It took me thirty minutes thinking on how to start this blog post. Am I still feeling groggy with my yesterday's duty? Maybe! While preparing the intravenous fluid for my patient, he asked me how's my day. Candidly replied,"I'm swamped." To my surprise he gave me a statement I never expected from him,"Of course because you are a NURSE." "You are expected to be busy all the time. Ended the conversation with a smile. I can't find a better rebuttal speech to his on point assertion. You got to have the heart to care for you to stay on this... Read More

My Lair

The featured photos used in this blog were probably the last shots I took in my old accomodation. Did I miss it? Partly yeah but my happiness of finally getting myself out from Saint Matthews outweighs whatever sentimental emotions I may have with my white room. Those unpleasant encounters with my old accomodation served as a good riddance for without it I won't be forced to find a flat to live by my own. Yes, you've read it right pretty Mommas. I am now settling well staying in my place I call as my personalized hideout. Just me with nobody... Read More

Hobby Craft

Adrenaline coursed through my veins with layers of sweat covering my face running down to my nape as I kept my breathing steady, I did push myself harder and faster moving my limbs running on a treadmill. Forty minutes had passed but I was still running like I was chased by an unknown monster ready to grab my hair. I've noticed the old man curiously looking at me on when would I ever stop running. If I could see the bubble thought on his head, he must have wondered if I was a damsel in distress. My mind was frantic... Read More

Live Love Laugh

The blazing heat of the sun was hitting towards my glass window when I woke up today around half past seven. I could overhear the cheerful voices of my neighborhood kids messing around with their friends. How nice it is to feel like a kid again! Back to reality here I am with my body wanting to curl up in bed for few more minutes but I was already hearing my tummy making a grumbling sound of getting deprived to eat. Get your sexy bum out of bed Mich! I seriously got no organized plan today! After two days of... Read More

Made Even Better

Are you a fan of browsing Pinterest for some creative ideas of any do-it-your own projects? I am as well a patron of Pinterest especially when it comes to making a handmade output for parties or just simply decorations at home. However, this time, I am proud to make one of my DIY for my room display without searching for any suggested concepts online. Yes, I made it! I promised to myself that every rest day I should accomplish something worthwhile not only having a siesta for all day. That's not productive, is it? I love to lazily curl up... Read More

Let’s Paint

Before moving to a another place to start a new job, I spent my remaining free days with my family. Who wouldn't want to do that especially if you know it is going to take quite a few months or even a year to be together. God bless my heart to endure it. Last Monday was my scheduled flight and a day before that, while waiting for my airline ticket confirmation, we decided all to visit SM City. It's rare for me to visit a mall without having a concrete plan on what exactly am I going to do there.... Read More

Hobby

While  busy packing for my things, I had to break and do something to relieve my stress on what to include in my luggage. If you only had witnessed how many times I packed  then remove all the stuff to hit the target weight allowed and do it all over again, you'll see how tiring it was. The twenty five kilograms weight for my luggage as directed initially to me which is the allowable weight I can have, seemed not enough for all the things I needed to bring. If you're from a tropical country going to somewhere with a... Read More

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

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

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

Pre Birthday Shoot Session with Akyn

Doing a pre-birthday shoot may be a little bit pricey if you’ll contact a professional photographer to do a personalized photo session. I’ve tried inquiring one and the initial charge was for a package of P10,000. The output samples were nice but I find it too expensive. What Mon and I did instead was to find something cheaper where we can save more. We bought a Woody costume through Shopee.  Akyn’s overall get-up including the hat was about P500. Then, we went to a photo studio, chose their glamour shots with free picture frames already. Our total expenses was only... Read More

Family Manito Manita

We started our family Manito Manita on the second week of December and had everyone picked the names to whom they are going to give the gifts to. It’s a bit late when we started our Kris Kringle activity compared to the previous years. You know how the busy schedule of a working momma like me may sometimes leave other commitments missed unintentionally.☺ From six participants, we now have a total of seven Manitos/Manitas adding our newest member of the family, Eric. He is my sister’s boyfriend. Yay! The more, the merrier. After everyone had their assigned Santa Clause, next... Read More

Pillow Souvenir

I promised in my previous blog topic (My Personal Tarpaulin Maker) that I will be posting a separate post regarding our Akyn’s birthday souvenir. So, here it is. We had several ideas on what to use like mugs, key chains, fridge magnets, etc. There are so many options leaving me confused to decide which one to choose. During our Akyn’s Christening we had a do-it-your own teddy bear made of bath towels. The souvenirs perfectly matched with our brown Teddy Bear theme. The tags were also made by Mon. A project made with love for baby Akyn. [gallery ids="8581,8580" type="rectangular"]... Read More

My Personal Tarpaulin Maker

One of the perks of having a software developer husband is getting a perfect design for party needs like tarpaulin making or invitation layout. From our wedding tarpaulin up to Akyn’s special events like his Christening and birthday parties, it was Mon who designed all of them with no SWEAT. When I say no sweat, that’s literally an easy task like a piece of cake for him. What I love about his work ethics too, is his being so particular with the output. He won’t say it’s final not until the output is close to perfection. I don’t know how... Read More

Photo Printing Hobby

I’m starting to print out our latest family photos for my photo album collection. Call me an old school Momma, I won’t mind because it’s true. I prefer to have the printed copies of our pictures kept secured using a photo album rather than relying to the digital method of storing data. I like the feeling of touching the photos while reminiscing the beautiful memory behind it. Most of our shots were a DIY photo session with either me holding the camera or my husband. As long as we have a functioning camera with a pretty view for our background... Read More
