I have been reading a lot of blogs lately because I have plenty of time to waste. I came across this blog that hit me big time. You can read it here . I love how the writer wrote it. It is entitled, " To the baby I'll never had", It started with the mother telling that she had a garage sale with mostly baby stuff, her baby's baby clothes in particular. I can truly relate to what she felt or what she feels though I did not sell my baby's baby clothes but instead I handed them down to my nieces. The only difference that we have was that she kept some for her to remember those days when her baby was still wearing that clothes unlike me, I gave everything. Because, that's how we are in our family, we hand down stuff that we don't use anymore so that others can utilize them. Well, its true that time really fly fast, you are breastfeeding an infant now the next thing you know she's already running around the house and messing everything. Time runs so fast, ...

Disclaimer: This is a long overdue blog post. It was when my previous employer (Interport) announced about the retrenchment that I started to get worried and at the same time glad that finally after more than a year of being in the "floating status", decision has been made by the management, and we can finally move forward. But as reality was beginning to sink in, I started to feel scared and afraid of what's going to happen to me and my family. Am I going to find a job immediately? Is the money I got from Interport enough for our needs for the times that I still can't find another job. But these fears, I just kept them all inside because I don't want to give the people around me the negative vibe, I want to show to them that life goes on after that. There are paths that will lead us to where we should go. In reality, I prayed really really hard that God will guide me which way to go. And true enough, out of strolling around city square I decided to go to Capit...

Dear Gwapo, Until now I still can't believe you did what you did! You have a lot of friends, why did you took everything to yourself. You know you can always trust them to make you feel better if by that time you were so lonely and broken? I hate you for being so selfish! Sharing your friends just a little about how you felt would have been so helpful to lighten up your burden. I hate that you decided in the spur of the moment, you could at least tried to make it still work. Why did you listen to the whisper of the devil? I know I would never feel what you felt, but God is good. He will not judge you. He will listen to you no matter how bad you did in your past. You could have at least reach out to Him if you were so afraid to share to us.  But whatever I say now is too late, I know! I know that I have been not so nice to you in the past. I judged you based on the bad things that you did. I even got irritated every time I learn that you and Papay are together because I know w...

Dear child, I’m not sorry I work. I know a lot of other moms are, but I’m not. I’m not sorry that when I leave you in the morning, you don’t cry because you know how much fun you’re going to have while I’m working. I want you to have that fun, even if I’m not there to see it. I’m not sorry that, because I’m a working mom, you get more quality time with your  perfectly capable father . I’m not sorry that you’ve bonded with your other caregivers, because the more people who love you—and the more people you love back—the better. I’m not sorry that you get to see both your mommy and your daddy doing housework and changing diapers because, since we both work, we split the jobs at home as well. I’m not sorry that you get to overhear your daddy and I working cooperatively as a team to keep our schedules running smoothly (or at least running—the smooth part is questionable). I’m not sorry that I have less time with you, because I know that the quality of the time we have t...

School started last June 13th for my 'unica hija', but I wasn't able to find the time to blog about it or so I believe so, hahaha! OOTD from Monday to Thursday, I lost the Friday OOTD on my files School started not only for my school girl but mine also. I had to adjust my wake up time to make sure she's not gonna be late for school which starts 7:30 in the morning. I have to wake up 5:30 every morning, prepare for breakfast and wakes up my little sleepy head around 6 so she could prep up for school, by 7:15 the most, she should be on her way to her school already to avoid being late.  Every night before going to sleep, I had to make sure that all the things she needed for school the following day is all ready in her bag..snacks, assignments and other stuff. Speaking of assignment, every night is a challenge for us, especially for me to keep my cool. Being a grade-schooler now, she has to be in school whole day, that's why when night time comes, she'...

Is it the start of the rainy season already? It rained the whole day yesterday and today's a bit gloomy also. It feels good because coming from a very hot summer that caused farmers to stop planting due to lack of water..well, hurray! for the rain right? Well, anyway, let's get back to our topic for today. We went to "Manlingin Falls" at Cortes, Bohol for our Sunday getaway. I was so right when I did not confirm to an invitation from a workmate's fiesta because I had a feeling that we'll spend the Sunday with the family. I guess that outing was our way of bidding farewell to Nang Daday who by the way is flying back to Abu Dhabi this coming Thursday, May 26, 2016 to look for a better job. We will definitely miss her again especially the kids whom she look after ever since she came home last October. But we'll pray that she'll going to find a better job, a good paying one than what she had before. All our hopes and well wishes for her. Manlin...

After years of conceptualizing and planning, finally this event was realized on the 18th-19th of May 2016 at Dumaluan Beach resort. i tried to take a panoramic photo to fit in everybody First day of the Grand Reunion, May 18, 2016 - the event was opened with a Holy Mass officiated by our very own Rev. Fr. Jeremy Tanong, from Davao, I decided not to attend the mass because I was worried of my many absences this month, so I took a half day at work and attended the beach party in the afternoon. We arrived at Dumaluan beach resort around 1pm already, they were waiting for us because the "lechon" was with us. We had a festive lunch, some photos to describe it are as follows. After lunch, we attended into different things. The adults started the "inuman-session", some started "chit-chatting" with each other, the kids went swimming amidst the harsh heat of the sun, but for us, we had children to watch, we just let our kids play in the...
