The traffic congestion is getting terrible here in Cebu which made it quite a hassle in traveling to the office. This made me realize how tough it is to earn money for I have to endure all these difficulties in reporting to work. (sigh) Traffic jam is beyond my control, so let's focus instead to something we can control which I’ll be sharing with you on this post. My mood today is the exact opposite of how terrible the condition of the traffic is. I was submitting some forms to complete my documents required by the private institution. There was this part...

I am a collector of hardcopies of photos since I was in college. It’s one of my hobbies which I find enjoyable and worth my time. My friends even called my collections as a trademark of Mich. Whenever we take photos, I always find time after our class to visit a nearby printing store to have them printed. That was how obsessed I was in making sure all important memories were captured. I got this interest of collecting pictures from my Mama. Every occasion or event my sister and I had when we were still studying, my mother has a copy of those wonderful... Read More

My toddler and my husband both love eating and so do I. Who doesn’t like eating anyway? Some may avoid eating because of diet restrictions, but if given the chance to freely choose the food they like, for sure they’ll end up indulging those sinfully delicious meals. After a tiring work schedules last week, I promised to cook something to treat me and the whole gang. I decided to prepare Carbonara, a popular pasta dish with white cream sauce. My previous work mate used to bring this dish at work and when I first saw it, I thought it was kind of weird for... Read More

One thing that I love about unplanned trip is that there is a higher probability it will push thru compared to those planned family get-away. I don't have the exact rationale on why is that so but I am just basing it in my own experience.  And in line with my stand about unplanned fun time off,  I just had an amazing family unscheduled day off last weekends. Last Saturday, my sister called me to help her decide what printer she may need to purchase for her class. It's a classroom yearly project from the gracious heart of her students' parents contribution. Public schools here normally do this where each students... Read More

We arrived to Dumaguete at around 3 A.M but we left the boat and started looking for an accommodation at half past 5 in the morning. We rested in Gazebo Pension House, took a bath and planned our itinerary for the day before starting our exciting do it your own city tour. With the help of Google map, we were able to locate the tourist spots of the area without any hassle. Thank you to the modern technology of today's generation which makes travelling easier for everyone. Our first destination was to visit Saint Catherine of Alexandria Cathedral in Dumaguete. I...

My rest days have never been boring, aside from the fact that I am going to spend my time off from work with my family, I can also do the things that I love to do for my husband and my toddler. These are the reasons which make me always excited to look forward for it to come. I made a sweet dessert last Saturday, an easy to prepare Mango Float to make this frowning cutie smile. Here are the ingredients in making a Mango Float. You can adjust the quantity of each ingredients depending on how many layers you would like to come... Read More

I would consider myself young for marrying at the age of 26 for a career woman like me. My friends were asking me if I was pregnant and speculating if that was the reason why I decided to tie a knot with Mon. Of course not! Mon and I were certain we were both destined to be together and there was no point of delaying the date of being an official Mr. and Mrs. Abilar. When we started planning to get married, we started from scratch. We didn’t have any joint savings bank account nor both of us were born rich. We... Read More

Akyn's birthday fall on the 30th of December which is celebrated as Rizal's Day here in the Philippines. December is such a busy month with all the Christmas parties and Reunion parties, that means we needed to book our suppliers as early as possible last year. I was the one who chose the birthday theme for Akyn (mother knows best). As you all know from my previous post (Akyn's Christening) that I had shared about how much I am into bears, so this time I opted to have Winnie the Pooh and Friends birthday theme. I'll share with you some... Read More

Our original plan for Akyn’s baptism was supposedly April 9, 2016 but because I had chicken pox it was moved to April 30, 2016. Akyn had chicken pox when he was  still 2 months old. The Varicella virus was transmitted to me since I was the primary care giver who had not experienced it. I was worried about my guests’ and suppliers’ schedules for the christening if I would move the date. A close friend of mine said, that I should be concerned more about my health and my presence to my son’s  Christening. She  advised me to move  the  planned... Read More

When I was about to take my National Board Exam for Nurses, my professor shared to us about the power of positive thinking. According to him, if you keep on thinking of something that you really wanted to achieve, there is a great chance that you will have it in the long run.  He taught us the formula for achieving one’s goal, which includes  positive thinking plus the right attitude. Right attitude means you also need to work hard to earn it. Setting a goal  without hard work isn’t a goal at all, but a WISH. I applied that formula in... Read More
