"Adulting" is Hard

Mitch when she was months old
Lately I am being so sentimental and all, I am going through old photos of Mitch to be printed for my slum book and I can't keep myself not to be emotional looking through her baby pictures. Pause button please! Maybe because I feel so guilty not to give her quality time now that at her age because of work but I promise to make way. At her age now (7), everything that she will do now will be a part of her childhood memories, so I wanna fill her childhood with wonderful memories.

So anyway, enough with my drama, let's go back to my main topic today which is "adulting" and all the things that comes with it. I am sharing this now because just recently Papay and I had a little misunderstanding, and the worst part is its all about MONEY. And that's one thing that I don't want to argue about. But things happen! We can't control things. We just have to deal with it, peacefully!

Bottom line is, couples should have an open communication to avoid big arguments. Like for example in our case, Papay wanted to get a motorcycle, something that he can call, fruit of his labor, and I am not against it in any way but I just did not expect that he is getting it now. Me, thinking of all the things that I need to pay and buy especially that school is about to start, I asked him kindly if Is he really getting it now and told him of all the things that I need to pay with my salary, because him getting a motorcycle means that he will no longer give me his share for our expenses. So to make it short, we can't afford him getting a motorcycle now that expenses are still consuming my salary. in the next months maybe but not now. He kind  of felt a little disappointed about it, he is not saying it but on how he is acting it was very obvious.
But, luckily, everything was okay na.

There are things that you would have thought that you'd be able to experience in life noh? Like, never did I imagined myself deciding things. I can say that, it may not reflect much on how I look (they say I don't look my age, don't know if I should be flattered or what)or how I project myself but slowly I am maturing and "adulting" gracefully.

"Adulting" really is hard but circumstance will equip you with the skills.

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 ...
