Same time last year, when Mitch was on her first grade, she also attended this kind of celebration, they participated in the "Sabayang Basa in Visayan" category back then, together with 14 or more of her classmates. Imagine how time flies so fast. It was like yesterday when I was nagging her to practice their piece, instructing her the proper way to do it and now we are doing the same, but this time its more serious because it's her all alone, competing for the "tula" competition. Although I still can't believe why she was chosen, I had to set my mind that I have to prepare her for that day because let's face it mothers, we are more excited and nervous for stuff like that than our kids. We practiced every night, we even practiced with microphone, I wanted badly for her to have the confidence because God knows how shy and quiet she is. I don't want to put her in a situation wherein she'll be humiliated because she forgot her piece and ruin all t...

on her 7th birthday I was supposed to blog about how proud I am of my daughter when I ran through some old pics and remembered that I wasn't able to blog about her 7th birthday. I even scanned through old facebook posts if I did post about her birthday but unfortunately, I forgot to write about that. Might as well write something about it here since 7th birthday is supposed to be a milestone for a child. On her 7th birthday we really were planning on going big, since we felt bad that we weren't able to give her a big birthday celebration on her first. Although I was already working at CEVI by then, but we were really broke at that time (until now actually), Papay has just started working then and I was payday to payday so we really can't afford a big celebration. We just had a simple dinner with the family and the next day we had a simple kiddie snack party with the kids from the neighborhood. Just as simple as that actually. From the plan of going big to this ...

Have you ever felt so down and you don't know just why you are feeling that way? I have been feeling that way. There are times that the moment I wake up, I just feel lonely and sad. When I try to rationalize things and get into the root cause why am I feeling that way,I can't think of a particular reason. It sometimes makes me worry that I even researched for it. It was nice that I was able to read stuff because it made everything lighter. Maybe it is true that it is due to our hormones, but nonetheless it made me worry less. Have you ever felt that way too? let's blame it to the hormones!! Mamay

Today is actually All Souls ' day but here I am sitting in front of my computer at the office. Yes, because today is a working day, unfortunately. October 31st and November 1 were the only days declared as non-working holidays. Oh well, so work it is. But actually there is nothing much to do in the office these days since the fiscal year has just been starting. So, here I am visiting my blog which I have neglected for quite some time now.  We have been discussing if we are going to visit to Batuan over the holiday since Papay is not working on that day, then yesterday the weather was so nice so Batuan we went. It was around 1 in the afternoon when we left, it was scorching hot in the city. I have so many plans in my head. I was planning to go to Shiphaus after we offer prayers to our departed loved ones over at the cemetery. I actually am not too fun of that Shiphaus because hello what's in there to be excited? It just happen to be a building formed like a ship because ma...
