I am a believer that if we are into the habit of doing something nice to the people around us without asking or expecting anything in return, the universe will pave its way to return the blessings to us in ways we've never realized to receive it. Just like our free trip last Sunday to Whitby together with Kuya Marcelo's family. It was such a happy trip to visit a wonderful place to end the summer. Thank you Kuya and Ate Susan. Kuya Marcelo had generously catered the three of us to be included in their seven seater family car.... Read More

Common problems of overseas workers with young children is about childcare especially if both parents are working just like me and Mon. I would consider myself lucky because both my employer and Mon's boss are quite willing to make some little adjustments with our schedules so we can have an alternating off duties to look after our Akyn. It's not easy to live abroad with no other close relatives to help us. So, for those wanting to migrate abroad, childcare should be one of the considerations to make if both couples seek to get employed. Our main inspiration to work... Read More

After finishing my painting projects for our new home, I'm finally sitting down now ready to update my Akynfullhouse with the latest house improvement I've done so far within a few weeks of stay here. Not even a month had passed but our house looked so much better every day. I'm so in love with our little lair not because it's a new place for the three of us but mainly due to the fact that it's OURS already. I can't still get over it pretty Mommas. ♥️ Anyway, first thing I bought was the rug for our living room.... Read More

Today is literally the fourth day after we moved in to our forever home in the UK. Did I just say OUR home? Yes, no more landlord this time, no more rent payment but rather mortgage payment shall I say. We still felt we're over the moon knowing that we finally realized one of our goals and that's to have a house we can call as ours. I was hesitant to send my application for a mortgage at first after hearing some feedback from others telling me I had little to no chance of getting approved because of the fact... Read More

I've finished watching one full sixteen episodes Koreanovela series in my two days off. How crazy is that? I love watching them but every time I watch these Korean celebrities I always end up feeling too ugly with how I look. (LOL)They just look so perfect like you can't even see any visible pores in their faces with perfect petite body Asian structure. I wonder how much sacrifice they need to undertake to achieve such beautiful figures. Nah, never mind! I'm completely happy with me being free to eat whatever I want. I'm trying to search for another series to... Read More

I had a little ME time moment after I sent my Akyn to school this morning. It feels refreshing to do things we love for ourselves pretty Mommas from time to time. Went to my favorite thrift shop to get some home decors then had a short peek of new clothes for this season from my favorite clothesline. Shopping has always been a therapeutic activity for me. I should do some haul for my newest collections of thrifted decors on my future post and how I style it at home. Don't you think that would be interesting? Anyway for today... Read More

How's our marriage after seven years? I can right away answer this with a big smile saying," I am very happy and felt blessed all the time for having a man who will always be there with me through thick and thin. We did conquer big waves together. Shared both the sweet laughter of victories and tasted the bitter tears of sorrows of life's never ending circle of challenges and yet here we are, both standing still for our little family especially with Akyn together with us now. I'm just so thankful for making the right decision of finding a... Read More

There's nothing more comfy than sitting on a couch with unlimited cuddles from my five year old boy during a cloudy lazy Sunday. How lovely is that pretty Mommas? Hope you're all doing well, too. Today's post is our Madame Tussauds visit when we went to London at the beginning of this month. It's a bit late to post this just because I got too preoccupied of my never ending busy schedules but still I wanted to keep my blog updated whenever I have the time to do it. Traveling with my family is something we wanted to do more... Read More

It's a sunny Saturday and I'm on a rest day. How nice is that? Once in a blue moon when I'm off on a weekend. Yay, celebrating those little moments of happiness pretty Mommas of enjoying life away from the hospital stress work-related. LOL. This is me taking a selfie while doing thrift shopping for home decorations. Yesterday was the last day of school before the spring break of my boy. They did a photoshoot taking with his Dad just before heading to school. I can really tell now Akyn is a 100% the same photo addict like me who... Read More

After finishing all my house chores, now I can finally relax to start updating another blog for our Akynfullhouse. I always caught myself wanting to write on this blog no matter how hectic my schedule is and many would asked on how I can still manage to continue this hobby when my profession is quite so demanding taking so much of my time. Well, all I can say is when we are used to do a habit of whatever hobby we are into, it would eventually become part of our routine to do it. Don't you agree with that? Bet... Read More

Went home from my overtime shift and was right away greeted with my Akyn with these sweet flowers for Mother's Day. All my tired muscles regained my lost energy because of my little charming boy who never failed to make me feel liked I'm the best mum in the world. Thank you Palangga.😘 We got two Mother's day celebration because both the Philippines and the UK got two different dates in celebrating my special day as a MUM. It's a nice treat for me from my boys then. Who wouldn't love to get some appreciation from all our hardwork pretty... Read More

I've just finished having a videocall with my Papa and Mama who were excited to share their new hair cut style today. LOL. They are my favorite constant chatmates everyday as well as my sister with no days we won't be talking to each other. It's like part of my routine to check on them before Akyn goes to school in the morning so they can see their cheerful grandson to start the day happy. Speaking of Akyn going to school today, he was two minutes late than his usual schedule in waiting for the school gate to open just... Read More

My left arm still feel sore after I had my second dose of my Covid Vaccine. It's the only discomfort I felt after having the jab. Although I'm experiencing a little discomfort with my arm, I would still want this post to get done to share to my Akynfullhouse avid readers. Hope you're all doing fine as well during this sunny Spring. Thank God Winter is finally over. We can enjoy the sunny weather whilst having fun outdoor.😂 This is me before having my vaccination yesterday. Solo bus rider. What's our lovely post for today? It's one of my favorite... Read More

I should have posted another blog post yesterday but I got exhausted in spending almost six hours finishing my do it your own beautifying my toiletries organizer. Look how badly rust had almost taken over the original beauty of this silver stand. After a year and a half of usage it turned out like this but never had I thought about disposing it. I'm not that type who would normally let go of my purchased stuff not unless it's totally impossible to restore them. I value where my money goes that means every item I buy has always a special...

While finishing my cup of coffee to boost my writing skills (as if I really got the skills!) (lol), here I am starting to write to express the chatty side of me. I only got a day off in between duty days but I wouldn't complain about it. Why? At least I'm given a day to gain back my energy before coming to work again tomorrow. I can do things that I love like completing my household chores, finishing my hobby, and spending time with my boys in my one rest day. It's like I can balance my work life... Read More

Finally it's weekends. I guess many have been waiting for the end of the week to come getting a break from the work stress. I love weekends, too because it's our time to relax with my boys. No school, no online work for Mon which would mean we can shop together without worrying of any schedule to abide. ❤️ I'd prefer to hang out with my family most of the time making our bond stronger. If I say no to social invite that would mean I want to have my family time more than anything else.( wink) What's up for... Read More
