It's my favorite time to sit in front of my study table after my long day, alone with my headset popped inside my ears listening to some old OPM music (Original Pilipino Music) because I can finally relax and have some ME time. It's a helpful habit beautiful mommas to release unwanted negativities of the day. Try it sometimes. How was my day today? I'm happy to explore some stores near my house accommodation. Good thing few of them were open today though it's a bank holiday in the UK. Their bank holidays here is equivalent to our legal holidays... Read More

UK celebrates Mothers' Day today, the 31st of March. It's entirely different as to the date of the Philippines special day for mums. Happy Mother's day to me. Yey! As I walk towards the church earlier today, I had a lot of emotions carried with me on my way to attend the fourth Sunday of Lent. I felt happy because God gave me a chance to experience the way England celebrates this special day for us mums. More than ever grateful for this opportunity to get exposed to a different culture of warm and kindhearted people. How amazing is that?... Read More

It took me an hour to convince my toddler to let me borrow Dellia (my laptop) so I can start blogging again. That’s the life of a mom, most of the time, you need to adjust your planned schedules when your child is requesting you to stop doing anything and just focus your attention to him. Who can say no to your cutest source of joy? How did you all spent your Valentine’s Day? One thing I love about the Valentine’s Day is the fact that we can express our love to someone without the fear of getting labeled as... Read More

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

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

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

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

How was your Christmas celebration? I had one of the happiest, simple yet memorable. As agreed, we stayed in our house to celebrate the Holiday season. Yey! For the very first time, finally our little home was filled with happiness during the most joyful season of the year. We used to celebrate it in my parents home. I’m thankful everyone was happy about my suggestion. Because I am the host for tonight, I had to take charge of the preparation. My list for the grocery items were all prepared at the back of my head. Do you also do that... Read More

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

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

We planned to have a dinner together a month before my birthday. There’s something so special for this year to be together. I don't have the definite answer if we can still make this family time as often as we wanted to by the moment my new opportunities for my professional growth will start to get realized. As much as we do have the time, then will make the most of it for now. [caption id="attachment_8311" align="aligncenter" width="3000"] Mama, My sister Me An and her BF Eric[/caption] Please excuse my overly focused face. ☺ [caption id="attachment_8303" align="aligncenter" width="3000"] The opposite side of...

The three of us finally decided to visit SM Seaside Cebu last Sunday after almost three years from the date when it opened. Yey! One down from our checklist. We kept on postponing our attempt to go there every time we had a chance to, simply because we felt lazy traveling. What a great excuse! Last weekends, our laziness turned into eagerness to have a family bonding. Another first time for us  to enjoy.☺ If you can notice my previous posts always talk about making the most of our family time that’s because new opportunities are knocking which may greatly...

I asked my Papa about his plans for his birthday a few weeks ago. It is so fortunate his special day fell on a Sunday which would mean a rest day for all of us. We can be together to celebrate it as a family. Gave him options to choose whether he wanted to have a family dinner buffet, a beach family trip, a cooking day with me at home or a treat to shop what he liked to purchase for himself. It’s only a once a year celebration for me to treat him. What a great opportunity for us... Read More

First birthdays are always considered as special by most parents. Of course, it only happens once in our babies’ life and as much as possible, we wanted it to be remembered as a joyous celebration. Regardless of the cost, we are more than willing to spend for the occasion. I could remember during Akyn’s 1st birthday  where I was  so overwhelmed with the preparation  because I  took charge of all the planning of the details including the theme, venue and all the suppliers.  Thankfully, my family also helped me with the implementation of the DIY stuff. Goodness gracious! It wasn’t... Read More

Because I’ve earned another free movie tickets from the generous pocket of my superior, I got the chance again to indulge myself and my family for a free movie. Yey! Just so timely, one of my favorite local celebrity Sarah G’s movie entitled “Miss Granny is available still showing in theaters. I didn’t have a hard time deciding which one to view. I was expecting our movie date will be cancelled last Saturday due to some bad weather conditions. Good thing, my gang was more persistent than me. They weren’t bothered with neither the advance warning of PAG ASA weather... Read More
