My Rocking Cradle

Several nights ago I got so angry with my Firstborn. This very minute that I am writing, I conveniently forgot the reason of my anger. But, yes, I was angry and I made him feel that anger. I turned my back on him when we were about to sleep. This is one drastic move to [...]

One time, after Firstborn’s tennis class three Korean ladies got into the Lapaz tennis court. They were looking for a tennis pro for the son of one of the Korean ajummas who, they said, is on an advanced level already in Korea. Knowing how meticulous Koreans are, I was not surprised when they requested to [...]

The Sikat Academy 4-in-1 Playshop for 3-5 year old kids had its grand finale yesterday at the Robinsons Place Iloilo. Parents were treated with their kids strutting on stage. Some kids took the stage as their own modelling with confidence, some reluctantly walked while the others had to be guided. It was fun! There were unexpected [...]

Literally 1 second. I got a glimpse of Firstborn on TV in the Jessica Soho GMA show, May 5, 2012 episode. This picture was taken during Maui Taylor’s first shooting day in South Korea for the movie “The Taste of Money” which is officially in competition in the 2012 Cannes Film Festival. I have the same [...]

Firstborn is currently into swimming.   I chose the swimming pool in Sarabia Manor Hotel because it is huge and quite safe for beginners. I didn’t know of any swimming instructor (remembered a friend when I enrolled my son already, too late) so I just called Sarabia and I was referred to one of their [...]

“The Taste of Money” had its preview last night which was exclusively attended and watched by the movie’s production staff and actors. Fellow mommy, Zel Kim, was able to attend on behalf of her daughter who plays my Firstborn’s “nuna” in the movie. She shared her movie ticket picture and I could only look at [...]

I heard of Book Latte last December from a friend when I brought up the idea that I want to have my own library-coffee shop business. I got to visit the place today at The Robinsons Place while Firstborn was at his summer workshop. Why oh why wasn’t I surprised when I saw a UP college classmate there?:-). To be [...]

Second-born will be 29 months old tomorrow:-). Here’s to celebrate another month of our very precious baby.   Video was cut short and I can’t get another one longer than 5 seconds… That’s what you get when toddlers know how to use Ipads these days…lol.

When you are in Robinsons Place Iloilo you will never fail to see people sipping a milky white shake from a plastic bottle. And you will never fail to see people crowding around a kiosk at the second level of the mall.   It’s Buko Ilonggo specializing in buko milk shake. I got myself the smallest-sized [...]

You badly WANT clothes… but you don’t have the money to buy them… what would you do?   I saw these signs in several boutiques while I was going around the mall where Firstborn is having his 3x/week workshop with Sikat Academy. I actually expressed my surprise and asked what those signs were for? It [...]
