“Our company is sponsoring the Cebu Marathon Run for 2018 for us.” “Can I join?” His question to me before completely signing up for the said marathon. It’s seldom for a man to ask for a woman’s opinion with regard to any decisions relating to his hobby. But in a married life, it’s a crucial part to let your partner know these details. I don’t see it as a sign of weakness for a man to consider his partner’s opinion. Rather, I find it as a gesture of respect. Respect in considering the feelings of your spouse before making a...

The rain was pouring so hard while the twilight fades to blackness. We were about to surrender our tired bodies to sleep when a line man from a local electric company called us to inform about some problems with our electric line. Our neighbor reported seeing visions of electrical discharge coming from our main line. Not expecting for such unfortunate event, we were told they would cut our line immediately for safety reasons. I understand the urgency of the situation as it may pose a real danger not just to us, but to the neighboring houses too. My concern was... Read More

“Hey, so what do you have in mind for my gifts?” “Are you going to surprise me?” “ I want something like this and this.” I immediately bombarded him with so many questions about what presents he has in store for me. I’m too practical when it comes to gift-giving in our home which many married couples can relate to its benefits. An acquaintance of mine once told me before, to let my husband think of what he should give me rather than me providing my list of all my wants. The idea of getting a surprise effort from him...

“Mich, have you tried being broken hearted?” A question that totally caught my attention when a colleague of mine asked me this morning. I answered her question with a direct yes. It’s been a while, I should say when I had my heart broken before my path crossed with my husband. It’s a devastating pain which most of us can relate to, not unless you’re love story is as perfect as compared to a fairytale love. Being engaged in a romantic love is one of the sweetest feeling and can be incredibly mystical especially during the very first stage of... Read More

Every rest day, I scheduled it as a day to spend with my family especially with my toddler. I am making the most of everything while I still can, before my dreams will be fully realized which may affect my time with my loved ones. I refrain from engaging myself to anything work related during my time off. Rest days for me, now, are meant to be enjoyed with them. I work when I am at work and I rest while being with my family when it’s my scheduled day off. I have so much in my to-do -list to... Read More

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 spent half of my one day off last week sleeping. I was so exhausted with my workload. I am not complaining about it for I am still thankful that I have a decent job to help me generate income for my family. For my last work commitment, I rendered 16 hours duty for one shift as required. I enjoyed my shift in performing my duties of course. What’s with the terrific work schedule then that I need to talk about on this post? I’m certain others may have more toxic job than I do. Well, it’s not about my... Read More

"Row row row your boat gently down the stream,"  The song that perfectly fits for Burnham park boat experience in their lake. Burnham Park is situated at the heart of the city and is very accessible. It's a head turning tourist spot in Baguio City for it offers several amusement to the tourists such as the large boating lake and a huge paved cycling circuit. Kids will definitely enjoy visiting the children's park section with considerable number of playground rides available for them. No admission fee is required to enter the park and food stalls are also available in the area. For one... Read More

The hardest part of my typical day is to wake up early in the morning by the moment my alarm rings. I kept on pressing snooze and then snooze again, until I only got 15 minutes left to get myself ready for work. My body still wants to snuggle in between those soft pillows while enjoying the warmth of my blanket. For those who have an early shift for work, you can somehow relate to my sentiments about my struggles every morning. This morning I woke up following the same routine. I had to wake up early again. Phew! I was so pissed in going out of the bed making me released a... Read More

We achieved another milestone in our marriage. Yey! Time really flies so fast. It was just as if yesterday when we both vowed in front of the altar during our wedding day and now after three years, we finally have our cute toddler with us. We have shared a lot of challenges and victories in a span of 3 years in our married life. We are both blessed to have found each other who are both willing to make our matrimony last for a lifetime. I love you Mon.♥ We're planning to celebrate our wedding anniversary by either simply having a family dinner within the... Read More

My husband joined their company outing in Bohol last Saturday. He asked permission from me a few days ago if he could join with his office mates with their out-of-town trip. I immediately said yes, without thinking. After I said yes, that’s when all the “what if’s” came to my senses. I am an anxious type of wife whenever my husband is away on a trip. I trust him completely with his loyalty to me. However, my worries includes his safety during the trip, his comfort as to where he is going to spend his night with, if his food... Read More

It’s frustrating when things don’t turn out the way we hoped and imagined it to happen. Mon was expecting something to happen on his professional career that could have helped him achieve the skills he needed for his career advancement but unfortunately it was cancelled. Well, that’s life. There are things that we can’t control no matter how hard we try to make it happen, but how we respond to the situation will always depend on us and that's what matters most. Is it easy to let go and let the universe control over it? Of course not, but life... Read More

Before I slept last night, I gave my husband a random question for him to reflect about our marriage. I love engaging in a meaningful conversation with him because I can sense that he always take my questions seriously and he provides honest answers too. I asked him about his insights and realization about how we are in the past as couples and how it affected our relationship in our married life. He paused for a moment, trying to organize his thoughts. He normally does that whenever I ask him something. This was his response: MON: I’ve realized that we... Read More

Pasalubong is a Filipino term which means a gift from someone returning from a trip. It brings excitement and happiness to us while waiting for our love ones to arrive home safely. This is one thing that I am excited to receive from Mon whenever he is away from home for a long travel or even if he is just away from his work office. I’m like a 7 year old child at heart eagerly waiting for him to come home. Mon usually arrives home late from work. Sometimes, both Akyn and Me are already sleeping when he arrives. He... Read More

I can now relate to the hassle that parents are experiencing in bringing their active toddlers inside the church. I felt pity for Mon who was the one looking after Akyn when we attended the mass yesterday. Akyn couldn’t sit still in one place. Five minutes were long enough to make him behave. His Dad had no choice but to give in to his demands to walk and brought him outside or else he would make a scene while the mass was on going [caption id="attachment_1129" align="alignnone" width="2592"] Daddy with Akyn attending Sunday's Mass[/caption] I was amazed with Mon, he...

I am an avid blog reader of different genres of   blog entries. I like reading topics about DIY projects, discussions about marriage and parenting (I am a mother of a cute baby boy), budget travel and latest fashion trends. While reading one of my favorite blog entries, I was so carried over by my emotions while reading the story. Somehow, I felt connected emotionally to the writer. I then realized, why not start my own blog and touch peoples’ lives and share my own thoughts. So this is how it all begun. Let me share my love story as my first entry for my blog.♥ Me and... Read More
