At The Heart Of The City

Because we were invited to my husband’s friend wedding in the city, we decided to book for an overnight stay in one of the nearby hotel. Choosing our accommodation wasn’t that difficult since the wedding reception (Casino Espanyol Cebu) is perfectly near several hotels for us to choose from. Quite satisfied for choosing Summit Circle as our resting place while preparing for the event. For only P2977.00 with free breakfast buffet for two. An additional fee of P250.00 for breakfast if you have an extra person apart from the 2 guests allowed. It was already a good catch for us! Another... Read More

That One True Love

Just after celebrating our own 4th wedding anniversary, here we are attending another joyous celebration of a beautiful union of our friend. Weddings always give me a happy feeling of seeing how couples share their love and vow for a lifetime commitment. I can clearly remember our Priest during our wedding, Father Amores, once said: “When the time comes you both feel you are ready to give up with your marriage, always try to remember this day, your Wedding Day.” ”Reminisce the overwhelming happiness of your love and remember the promise you made today.” He’s right. It was indeed one... Read More

Keada’s 3rd Birthday

Attending children’s party is now becoming a frequent activity for us. It’s either my husband’s friends or my own set of friends are inviting us to attend to their kid's birthday parties. Does this means we're getting old? Lol☺ No, we are just entering a new phase in our lives. From being a couple to finally be blessed as parents for our growing toddler which is getting more apparent with the series of social changes we’re experiencing. I’m happy to have gone thru all these wonderful stage of being a parent. We’ve attended two birthday parties for this month. How awesome... Read More

Sister’s Birthday

Happiest birthday to my beautiful sister. We got so many reasons to celebrate her birthday today. Another gift of life to enjoy the love of our family. We are so much thankful she was safe as she was approaching her natal day. If you’ve read my previous post about one of our dearest friend who recently passed away, she was my sister’s closest co-teacher. They were always together wherever they go. It just so happened during the accident my sister has an appointment for her Masters Class. If not, she could have gone with the same vehicle where Ma’am Daisy... Read More

Dating Lovebirds

Monthsary celebration is becoming not that special to us as compared to those days before we got married. I don’t know, maybe because we were both preoccupied with our everyday responsibilities making us forget those special moments. It was like a mortal sin before if one of us will fail to remember our Monthsary during our younger years (college sweethearts). Who can relate to this? Lol. Our Wedding Anniversary though is an exception! We always find time to celebrate our wedding anniversaries. Who wouldn’t want to celebrate one of the happiest event of being married? It doesn’t need to be... Read More

I Am A Mother

“You’ve received the greatest gift of being a woman, and that is to become a mother.” I got this compliment from a nurse on duty just after a few hours I gave birth to my only son. It was a blessing which I could never have imagined the unique happiness motherhood can give me. This day marks another year for us mothers to celebrate our special day of giving life to another beautiful soul. It’s an honor to be called a Mommy. Why? Simply because being a Mom requires a lot of self-sacrifice to the point of sometimes exhausting our own... Read More

Akynfullhouse 1st Year Anniversary

Exactly one year ago, the 7th of February of 2017 when I started hitting the button to publish a post without having any idea on what I was doing. All I was thinking was to start writing a part of my life and share it to my blog readers. Finally, today marked the 1st year anniversary of Akynfullhouse. For those wondering where our blog name came from, I named it after my son, Akyn (the picture featured on this blog post) and full house simply means this blog contains most of our family life events. Nothing much to explain about... Read More

Happy 2nd Birthday Akyn ( December 30,2017)

“Your baby is experiencing a fetal distress and your blood pressure reading is way to high above normal.” “We may need to proceed with an emergency Caesarian Section instead of risking you and your baby’s life with the Normal Delivery,” worried advise from my Doctor. This was me and my baby’s experience 2 years ago. When we thought everything was fine but it turned out to be quite a tough road for the both of us. My labor pain almost took me 24 hours of enduring it. Have you heard about the quote that says,"You’ll never know how strong you... Read More

Kris Kringle Humorous Mistake

It’s only a few sleep before Christmas Day, one of the most awaited celebrations. I so love this time of the year because of the joyful atmosphere it provides me. Christmas carols and songs can be heard everywhere, unending Christmas parties and of course, the most exciting gift sharing where everyone is excited to unwrap their gifts. We recently had our team Christmas party with my workmates. I had so much fun with all the food and the happy chatter. We started the spirit of Christmas as early as the month of November when we had our Kris Kringle activity. [caption id="attachment_5162" align="aligncenter"... Read More

Epic Fail Ladies Gathering

According to a known myth, if a friendship would last for more than 7 years, there’s a great chance that it will last for a lifetime. Others may oppose to the said belief as some relationships aren’t that lucky to survive with what they call as forever. Are you part of those who believe there is no such thing as FOREVER? I honestly regard there’s a slight truth on this popular saying. Seven years is quite long for friendship to endure several challenges which shall test its fortitude on how strong the people will manage to make it last. I... Read More

Three Decades

Imagine when you’re writing a story and you’re almost done finishing the end part of your novel, suddenly you decided to stop and discard everything that you’ve started because you think nobody’s interested with your piece. After a few minutes, you’ll try to make another story again and the cycle continues. That’s what I am feeling as of the moment, cancelling all my plans for my weekends and creating another plan again. I was a bit exhilarated to celebrate one of the days I think is special to me. I’ve been planning several preparations to enjoy it since the first... Read More

Trick Or Treat

One of my favorite celebrations every year is the All Saint’s Eve or the Halloween. When I was young, I always look forward for the event to come for I am excited to watch horror films. Most of the movies shown on TV during Halloween include stories about paranormal experiences, ghosts and scary creatures which were all my favorite genres to watch. Funny thing was after watching it, I would spend several hours before I could sleep well. I was bothered with the fear of being attacked with those imaginary monsters. My Mama reprimanded me for being silly watching frightening scenes making... Read More

Emily and Roy Nuptials

Until now, I am still feeling overwhelmed with happiness after witnessing the wedding of one my close friends. Emily and Roy decided to legally seal their relationship with marriage yesterday. Who can’t be happy knowing your friends finally found their lifetime partners? Have you tried getting teary and emotional seeing someone getting married. I’ve just had experienced it last night. The event was just too beautiful not to be emotionally carried away with their intense love for each other. I’ve known them since 2011. It was Emily whom I met first for we were both part of the same cluster when... Read More

About Last Week

I had an exhilarating series of events last week when I was about to undergo something  I am both excited and scared to face. Excited to finally reach the point where I am almost reaching the success I have been waiting for, and at the same scared about the possibility of failing my own expectations for myself. When your emotions are too overwhelming, it will really manifest physically. A week prior to the said date, I could feel my hands were cold and sweating, I felt too emotional and I could burst into tears anytime especially when I am alone. I was... Read More

The Blogger Recognition Award

I felt so physically and emotionally burnt-out yesterday after my work. Maybe because of my cough and colds accompanied by all the stresses in the office (Tired Mama here). When I went home, I heard my phone beep for a notification. I checked it right away and saw one of my fellow bloggers, Vanessa, the author of Olivia’s New Life, who commented in one of my blog post. She nominated me for the Blogger Recognition Award. OMG, I can’t explain the happiness that I felt while reading her message! By the way guys, Vanessa writes exciting blog at http://www.oliviasnewlife.com. Please have... Read More
