from the Eastwood Countdown: Happy New Year!

Yay! I know this is such a late New Year’s post. Anyhow, we had a taste of the metro way of greeting the new year… and we chose the Eastwood countdown with a Gary Valenciano concert.

At exactly midight, Eastwood promised to have its Star Drop:

and we were part of this crowd

who cheered and greeted the [...]

Firstborn’s First Business Trip

The past two weeks were very busy weeks. It was the time of the year to pack up our things for our annual vacation in the Philippines. This time, though, the vacation would have to be preceded by Firstborn’s very first business trip:-). Oh yeah, at 5 years old he had his first business trip [...]

Status Quo

Wow! It had been a week of no blogging. I haven’t tinkered with my blog nor browsed through other blogs that I always visit.
Guess, it had been a busy week for me. Writing assignments overload! It’s a daily deadline of writing tasks that I had to sleep when others are just stirring from their sleep [...]

Expanding Waistline and Australia Overload

I’m taking a few minutes out of my freelance writing.
I’m having Australia-overload right now. I had been having writing assignments about Australia for more than two weeks already. Writing about wheelchairs and arthritis and bespoke shoes served as welcome diversion.
But what makes me guilty towards my own body [...]

Coping Mechanism

Just when I thought the boys were all right, Firstborn got a fever and had to skip class today.
Last night, and the nights before that, I had been sleeping for less than 3 hours a day because of a new-found “career”… writing for a number of employers. Instead of posting my articles here in my [...]

Cool Mom and Cooler Kids

Hubby left for Dubai ten days ago and went directly to Indonesia for his never-ending business trips. Kiddos and I miss him already but thanks to Skype we remain connected. We see and hear him everyday. He hears and sees the kiddos laugh, cry and move around.
Of course, this isn’t new. He’s gone every month, [...]

Rain, Rain Go Away

Its supposed to be summer until end of August. We’re starting the Fall season in less than two weeks but we never seemed to have been granted days-long of sunshine. There’s a peek every now and then but after a few hours, it’s gone. Not a decent summer holiday!
Toddler’s looking out of the window and [...]

Additional Year, Additional Flabs

Yesterday was that time of the year again when I had to count another year into my age. With that, more flabs are conspicuously appearing determined to stay and be noticed.
Hubby’s efforts to wake me up early in the morning were sometimes futile as I just wanted to curl up and hug the little ones [...]

A Very, Very Ajumma Morning

What could be a more ajumma morning than crawling on all fours wiping puddles of water on the floor?
I slept at 5:30 this morning cramming for the articles I needed to submit on deadline. At 7:30am, Second-born was kissing me on the lips and when I opened my eyes he was smiling, a very charming [...]

Cruel Honesty from my Firstborn

 
 
Firstborn: Mommy, you look pretty in your dress today.
Me: Wow, thank you!
Firstborn: But actually, Mommy, you look fat in your dress.

 
 
Is my son too entitled to his honest opinion? LOL.
