I was contemplating on how would I celebrate my birthday few weeks ago and Mon said to me, "Celebrate it the way you wanted!" Well, that would mean another family travel is going to happen because my top likes on the list on special event is really to travel and shop with my family. I love to spend our alone time together in going to places we've never been to. It's not like we don't want our friend's company to join with us but it's more of a moment to remember as a family getaway. If you don't get what... Read More

I was in the other room when I heard Mon and Akyn talking like they were planning an attack to someone's base. When I checked them on what made them so busy and noisy😒,they were actually playing an online game called Mobile Legends. A satisfying view seeing Mon finally got his little playmate for his online gaming obsession. "Just follow my lead Akyn when I say you use your power then attack!" "Daddy an enemy has been slain!" I can't relate to the enjoynment of what they were both up to. I tried playing once with Akyn but I always... Read More

Gloomy foggy day it is. We are getting nearer to the coldest season of the year in each passing day. Not an exciting season for me because I don't like coldness. I'm not like Elsa or Ana of the Frozen. LOL😂The weather might be cold but I still hope our hearts would remain the warmth needed to console each other's gloominess at times. 😍 This is one of the reasons why I super love my blog and my FB blog page as it's my venue to share my cordial personality to inspire others. Not letting anyone else dull our sparkles... Read More

A calm Wednesday morning for me to start writing for my blog again. Hello pretty Mommas. Hope everyone is slaying their day like how a gorgeous momma should do. 😘 We were playing a card game this morning during breakfast by giving each other a card of prayer suited to whoever will get it. I gave Mon the card of work prayer as he is going to work from home today. For Akyn, he got the prayer of Wisdom before going to school and for me, Mon gave me the prayer for Forgiveness. I asked him, "To forgive who?" Then... Read More

As early as nine in the morning, I received a phone call from a local number. I thought it was a genuinely important call since the area code showing didn't seem like a telemarketing calls with sales agent offering all sorts of products I'm not really interested. When I answered the phone, an automated message recording greeted me threatening me about tax evasion case filed againts me by the Home office. I've heard loads of cases of people falling to this kind of trick. Please be informed that Home office will never call to inform us of any tax discrepancy... Read More

A quite morning on a bank holiday. Good morning pretty Mommas! So thrilled to be off from a stressful worklife. LOL🤣🤣🤣 On a rest shift plus bank holiday is equivalent to a chill fam day to be together. We're planning to explore more shops later in the afternoon as the weather is quite gloomy to stay outdoor and play. A little cold with drizzling rain this morning made me realized that summer is slowly coming to an end. Noooooo! I ain't ready for colder seasons. Anyway, last weekend we did visit Hobby Craft with my Akyn. It's one of my... Read More

Second bit of our summer holiday blog post. How are you all pretty Mommas this morning? Hope everyone is still jolly to enjoy the lovely weather. I have finished my morning coffee routine that means I am good to start my day by publishing my blog post for this morning. Every holiday we do is a big thing for us not just because a list in our travel targets had been realized but merely because we had a happy moment to add to our family memory bank to treasure for the rest of our lives. When we reach our golden... Read More

I took a quick rest after sorting out all our travel stuff and putting them back to where they needed to be at home. Yes, we've just arrived from our summer holiday and I can't wait for tomorrow to start blogging about it. So, I started my part one of the travel blog now. We've promised Akyn a holiday prize after he won his piano competition in Hornsea last July. We shouldn't break a promise to our child especially if it's a gift for something he worked hard to earn it. He requested to visit London again for the nth... Read More

This photo below is a year old as of today. We took this shot exactly the date when we moved in, the twenty third of July, our blissful summer. In the middle of packing and moving stuff from our rented place to our permanent home, we took this moment to smile, appreciate the biggest gift bestowed upon us and pose for a memorable picture to treasure forever. Who would have thought this blessing would come early? As a new immigrant from this country, we felt everything was moving so fast in its most beautiful way. I've got my family to... Read More

I feel sorry to those who are currently at work today in the UK with this kind of weather, too hot, uniform too constrictive and uncomfy to wear, office buildings absorbing too much heat, what else can I say? Tomorrow is also expected to be warmer than today. I'm used to high temperatures back home so I'm a little bit fine with it but for those who aren't, it's quite unbearable. This too shall pass pretty Mommas. Stay hydrated! As promised during my previous posts that I will be sharing our toilet renovation we did in our house in Cebu.... Read More

"Mama, I still can't believe I took the trophy back home to be the winner!" Neither us nor Akyn ever thought of getting the first place on his first try to experience a piano competition here in the UK. It's not that we don't believe on his capability. It's more of the fact that he's just six years old with no experience whatsoever on how it would feel to be on the stage with the audience watching him perform. I bet it was a hundred percent never-wracking for his little heart. At the end of May this year, his coach,... Read More

The coolest thing for today is apart from I am at home doing my Me Time, I have already finished all my household chores awaiting completion yesterday. This would mean I am free to do my hobby to blog or perhaps I can read a couple of pages of Nicholas Spark's entitled Dear John bought from one of my thrifting escapade I've been reading for a couple of weeks now or maybe, I can do a solo karaoke at home singing like nobody can hear. LOL😂 Nah, I'll start with my blog today and we'll see what will I want... Read More

As much as I wanted to wait for next week to finish another blog but I can't resist the eagerness to share it to my website about how nice our vacation went to the busy, always in a rush London life. Our day usually start with a sumptuous breakfast enough to fuel us for another nonstop walking day. Yes, we really need to get a good meal for the day plus the comfiest pair of shoes if we wanted to survive a fun-filled tour. We went to the nearest Italian resturant near our hotel before going on to ride a... Read More

I was sitting in my son's bed while staring at his wall full of blue stars with his name sticker in the middle of the white wall. A minute had passed, then two, three, four minutes more when Akyn finally broke the silence in his room to ask, "What are you doing Mama?" He looked at me then to the wall then back to me like trying to figure out if there's something interesting with the blank space I've been studying about. "I'm thinking about something." "What something Mama because I need to know?" "Something complicated!" I went down the... Read More

Another Monday madness for the most working class but for me, it's a Monday bliss as usual. Sorry for rubbing it in pretty Mommas because I just can't contain my happiness to look forward for this day, my rest day!🤣I've heard some notions about working overseas life, before I decided to work abroad, that life will turn out to be boring filled with all work concept, no fun, all stress, missery and only monetary gains. But then I've proven it all wrong as the quality of our lives whether we are in our homeland or somewhere miles away from home,... Read More

I've added another school photo of Akyn in my photo wall gallery upstairs. When you enter our house and look up our stairs, these are the lovely photos that will welcome you to our little abode. Nothing grand gallery but so much welcoming with our Akyn's smile. He's growing more cheerful everyday and believe it or not, this boy doesn't even know how to elicit a frowning face totally opposite to his mum.🤣(LOL) He tried several attempts to frown but failed. I'm starting to believe now those superstitious beliefs that when a mum has a happy pregnancy experience, eventually the... Read More
