I am a wife-the wind beneath my husband's wings... A mother-the protective arm around my two dynamos. When I am not being a wife and a mother, I am the woman comfortably nestled in "My Rocking Cradle".
‘Twas a good year ended in a good way.
Before my son woke up, my husband and I, together with my father-in-law, were already out in the fairways. Yeezzzz, we played golf. Oooooppppssss, before I go on with pretensions, let me straighten it out… Hubby and father-in-law played golf while they had fun introducing me as [...]
December 30 is the Philippine’s Rizal Day. It is so named after the Philippines’ national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal. Of course, much has been written about him.
But look at this: Our national hero has had a total of 10 women in his life… and this was during the nineteenth century… and he does not even [...]
The oldest “apo” at 14 years old planned and coordinated our December 28 Subic trip. Driving though SCTex was a breeze.
The view at the picnic area where we stopped for lunch was, to say the least, breathtaking. The kids enjoyed romping around. After lunch, we allowed the kids to walk at the shore.
What really caught everyone’s [...]
Our Little Dynamo is fortunate to spend another Christmas here in the Philippines. One tradition which makes it more exciting is the Christmas carolling. Children (even adults) go to houses and sing Christmas carols. The house owners gladly (some reluctantly, others grouchily) give money to the carollers.
On Christmas eve, we had several carollers passing by the front [...]
Do you wonder… who is more excited - the ones who wait or the ones who arrive?
Such was the question I pondered upon while waiting for our flight for Manila on December 22.
It’s the Christmas holidays and people are going home to their respective families to celebrate Christmas. In my case, I was to meet [...]
Whenever we go to my husband’s hometown in Cabanatuan, we had always used the North Luzon Expressway. When it was finished some years back, we were very grateful for the convenience it brought. My husband and I had a good surprise this year. We went home on a convoy. My parents-in-law in their Navarra pick-up, my brother-in-law and [...]
Vacation in Iloilo City couldn’t be complete without revisiting my Alma Mater, the Colegio de San Jose (CSJ).
This vacation year was even more special as it was a good time to introduce my Little Dynamo to my teachers. Imagine my kindergarten teacher meeting my 2 year old son! The picture below shows the same room [...]
Jollibee is undeniably the Philippine’s number one fastfood chain. I know of no kid who does not become fascinated with the Jollibee mascot. Count my son in!
And it’s not just the mascot. After giving him a spoonful of food, he would rub his tummy and throw his “kenkoy” satisfied look. There’s a catch! It isn’t just [...]
We laid to her final rest Manang Bini, my grandmother and my mother’s aunt, last Sunday, December 14, 2008 at the Santa Barbara Cemetery. She was the one who took care of me and my brother when we were toddlers. She continued to take care of us during vacation time when we spend our summers in Santa [...]
