Drama Of A Wife

We were supposed to go somewhere north last Sunday, however, we chose to go malling instead to spend our time off together. I just felt lazy doing long travel. Bummer! It was a planned treat for my birthday which would mean I got the freedom to choose whatever I wanted to do. Hooray! Let's pause my excitement to write about our free time today. I want to let you know what took place last night. We had a heated discussion with Mon the night before my birthday. So what exactly happened? I asked him if he already had ordered my birthday cake and he told... Read More

Spontaneity Of Unplanned Trips

We’ve decided to spend our Sunday by strolling around the city together with our baby boy. The only day we are always excited to come. Why? Because it’s solely the day when we are both free to spend quality time with our toddler. No work to worry about, no schedules plotted to comply, happy to say we got a complete FREEDOM for Sunday. Thank you Lord! Nothing specific was planned for our itinerary. All we were certain to do was to enjoy the day or to buy something for ourselves. This is something nice about unplanned trips which I find... Read More

In Sickness And In Health

Mon wasn’t feeling well this past few days and so am I. I think it’s pretty normal to be emotionally affected if a family member is ill or having any challenges in whatever aspect. How much more if it’s your spouse? It’s too taxing, right? He’s a bit better now though. Thanks God! My wife loving abilities is always put into test in times like this. Phew! He sent me a text message last Saturday that says, His words never failed to give me a romantic excitement as a response to it. Ayee!♥ I never expected him to express how... Read More

Spice Up Your Marriage

I’ve read quite a few articles talking about a successful marriage but never did I come across with a literature stating marriage is an instant perfection of a union to those who were lucky to find the right partner. Creating a mini-paradise experience of being together requires a lot of effort. Effort to make things work with the diversity of two cultures merged into one. It needs the willingness to compromise with each difference of beliefs. It’s more about agreeing to disagree in some aspects. I find it hard to adjust to this concept before because I used to believe... Read More

I Love Sundays

How was your Sunday beautiful Mommas? My work shift is about to change and for the longest time I’ve been waiting for, I finally had the chance to enjoy my Sunday as my day off. (Happy Dance☺) Yey, no more rushing moments after my shift trying to catch the schedule for the next Holy Mass with my family. FREEDOM! A Sunday can’t be complete for us without hearing the Eucharist. For married couples, I’m sure many of us were able to relate to the second reading for yesterday, Ephesians 5:21-32. It was beautifully written. Let me share you the first... Read More

Bestie’s Wedding

Never had I imagined I’m going to feel so emotionally happy seeing my bestie finally walking down the aisle wearing her white wedding gown. I’ve known Florisa since college and from that moment until now she remained exactly the same jolly person I’ve ever known. Seldom when friendship can last for more than seven years. Ours is about a decade now. Yey! If you have found one, treasure it because you’re blessed to have it.   We were called Tres Marias(Carel, Michelle and Florisa) way back in college. We used to wear the same designs of clothes during parties, met... Read More

Things Have Changed

I do always consider “First experience” as a sweet memorable thing for us. Akyn opened doors for several “First Time”, not just in parenting but as a whole family. Excited like most first time parents would feel, the three of us love exploring those moments of being together. Unknowingly, our first time activities of being a family had made changes to our accustomed pattern of doing things in the same way like we used to do it as husband  and wife. Whether it’s as simple like dining together or spending a budget get-away, each marks a considerable happy encounter. One interesting aspect I’ve... Read More

A Good Father

How can someone be considered as a “Good Father” to his child? Are there any specific qualifications needed to be met before a man can claim to be called as a responsible daddy. If you’ll search it in google, it will provide us a long list of answers. It’s kind of hard to define it using the different ideal characteristics of a perfect dad. What if one of the qualities we’re looking for isn’t possessed by our husband? Will that mean he won’t qualify to have such honor? I simply define a “Good Father” as someone who purely loves his...

Separation Anxiety

Akyn is becoming more clingy to his Daddy as they spend more time to play during Mon’s free time. It’s a daily routine of crying and wailing begging for more time to spend with him every time his father is about to head to work. How do you handle such behavior of your toddler? This is mostly the dilemma of working parents when you’re torn between staying at home with your child or going to work. If we could only do both responsibilities at the same time, we would gladly do it. What my child is experiencing is what they coined... 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

Why I Chose to Marry

10552451_10202166001905704_8946100383123947962_n.jpg
People have different convictions when it comes to getting married or living the single life with no commitment set by the church or by the state law. Others may view Marriage as a MUST before couples can be allowed to live together as part of their cultural creed. While some consider it as another set of worries to get engaged with. So many opinions revolving about the holy matrimony. The question is, what does the Lord say about what Marriage really is? Marriage is a sanctified intimate union between a man and woman in which the two becomes one physically.... Read More

Adulting Why So Challenging

When I was in grade school, I could clearly remember how much I was eager to reach High school. Kept on complaining about the huge trolley bags with all the books required everyday. I mean, I was just a kid! Why is my bag bigger than my size? It was like a never-ending fix study time. High School looked so cool for me way back then. They got smaller sized bags. I felt it interesting in transferring rooms for every subject which we seldom encounter in grade school. Finally reached High school and experienced all those changes in the school policies....

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

A Glance To His World

What a night to remember we had yesteday! My husband’s employer invited the family members of their employees for the office official blessing. I was hesitant to visit due to some time constraints and also, I am not really fond of attending to social gatherings not unless I know someone close to me who shall be present on the event as well. I had persuaded Mon to attend our pool party with my colleagues last Thursday. It was just right for me to reciprocate to his request in engaging for their office gatherings. How was the experience? If there’s someone who... Read More

Surprise In A Box

Last night’s congestion of traffic was so terrible as always expected during Valentine’s Day and it happened to be the Ash Wednesday as well of the Catholic calendar. That simply means a busy city for Cebu. I plotted a vacation leave but cancelled it at the last minute thinking I got nothing to do at home, so better save my allocation for my time off request. I'm busy making money while others are enjoying their awesome day. Bummer! Because Heart’s Day was just around the corner last week, I started hinting Mon on what type of gifts I was expecting....

My Webtoon Fantasy Versus Him My Reality

I getting addicted reading cartoon Webtoon comics online and even had completed few of them in one day. The male protagonists in most of the stories I read were all described as close to perfect partners every woman desires to be with. The almost too good to be true fantasy characters made me to compare about my husband’s way of caring for me. I once blurted it out to him why he couldn’t be as perfect like the comics I’ve been reading. It’s a ridiculous question, I know! Rather than getting defensive, he laughed it out while saying,” Webtoon  must have gone thru your... Read More
