My Rocking Cradle

This was Seoul today. This wasn’t at night. This was not even early night time. This was at 3 o’clock in the afternoon. It was dark. It was raining. There wasn’t much to do. I’m glad I have my sons. I’m glad I had friends in the house:-).

While waiting for my son’s school bus this morning, a Korean Super Mom told me about another girl who lives in the same apartment building. She said she’s a stubborn child. Her parents give in to her every whim so their mornings are always difficult. When the girl wants to change her clothes, the parents [...]

I missed the Trick Art Museum in Jeju. It was a conscious decision for hubby and I not to go there as we thought the kids will not enjoy it anyway. We were right! But I did catch the exhibit here in Seoul last Saturday. The Trick Art Exhibit had been ongoing since March 25, 2011 [...]

Though my [...]

Is it too late to talk about the Janjan Suan controversy? Janjan Suan will always be relevant. Willie Revillame will be a permanent fixture in Philippine television, whether we like it or not. Philippine politics will always be dirty. Noble intentions will always be marred by politics. Amidst all these, we could only hope Janjan [...]

I got a gift set from the Aritaum store owner where I bought my Laneige products from. I can’t use it since it’s for men. My husband does not use any facial care product aside from eye cream. So, I’m giving it to anyone who cares to drop a message on my comment box below:-). This [...]

I choose today as my “not a busy day”:-). A regular day for me goes like this: sweating in the gym for a 20-30 minutes of cardio, shower, prepare breakfast for my boys, then hubby goes to the office. I am left with the kids for their morning bath before my 4-year old is picked [...]

It is easy to dislike the tiger mom – both the book and the author. Immediately after I watched Amy Chua’s interview in CNN for her book “Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother”, I raised the extreme parenting method which she seemed to have confidently used in raising her daughters to my husband. Days after, [...]
