Issues if both parents are working

It's been so long since I last blogged, I had a hard time opening my blog because maybe of the new format.
So anyway, let's get this started. Ever since Papay started working, we couldn't go out of the city anymore. Sometimes, I feel bad that we have to leave our daughter to the care of either my in laws or my parents'. She always whine when I have to travel because that means she'll be left somewhere and that breaks my heart each time.
Although I am very happy that Papay is already working, but being a mother, a parent, I cannot avoid feeling guilty.
She always asks for time together, for bonding, she is so clingy to us and seeks so much attention. I do understand exactly why she is acting that way, she wanted our attention because she feels that we're just too busy with work, we don't have time for her. But, that is very wrong, everything we do is for her. We want to provide for her needs, to give her the house we planned together, to be able to send her to the school she wants in the future, everything is for her..but I also know that she still cannot understand that, but one day, she will and right now we just have to make her understand why we have to work and be out of the house often and just give her quality time when we are together.

That is all for now.

Day 1 of 365

On the first day of 2018, it was raining the whole day because of TD Agaton. Yes, Agaton started the new year. We all did not invite him but still, he came and even left some areas flooded. But, nonetheless, we had fun celebrating the first day of the new year 2018 and at the same time the birthday of our youngest bro, Emman. Although, most of the time we were sleeping or lying down, we enjoyed new year. The pics tell it all. Happy New Year! Mamay :-)

Day 2 of 365

Second day of 2018 was a working day for me. I had to endure holiday blues and get myself to the office and spent 8 hours in front of my computer looking at pictures from the previous holidays and did not even touched anything that has something to do with work. Hahaha. Lucky for me I don't have that much to do these days so I had the luxury of time to splurge on unnecessary things. By the way, I took my daughter with me to work since I really don't have anything to do at the office. We went to buy the toy that she wanted for the money that she earned (partly). It was expensive! I never would have splurged my money on that toy if it was my money, but it's partly hers, so let it be. She was happy though with that toy and that was enough for a mom like me. That was how my 2nd day of 2018 went. Mamay

Unplanned trips are the Best!

 Last July 1, since it was a holiday in Tagbilaran City in commemoration of its Charter Day, we have no work or shall I say I have no work- Papay decided to take the day off as well. Out of the blue, he jokingly said that we'll go to Strawberry farm in Mayana, Jagna and I took his words - so off we go! That trip was long-overdue anyway, we have been talking of going but it never pushed through. It is true that it's better not to plan things and just go with the flow, no disappointments.  It was a long drive, we had several stop overs because reality, our body can't keep up with our minds. My legs and back were aching but because I did not want to be called "KJ" as what they often call me.. so I braved all that. We stopped first in Lila for a photo op because Papay wanted to show to his friend whose from Lila but now in abroad, you know, to make him feel more home-sick. Haha! Our second stop-over was in Garcia Hernandez, this time it was a long stop. Papay ate his ...
