realizations and lessons learned in the course of parenthood
So we have been in the province for 3 months already. Enjoying the rural life and maximizing the ‘slowness’ of life here. I felt even before that life in the province can give peace to a person. I’m not sure if it’s only me who have lived in the city (more so, the capital of … Continue reading Realizations and learnings in rural setting
A lot has happened in 2020. It started with the eruption of Taal volcano then followed by the emergence of a pandemic, the COVID-19. Many people lost their jobs or loved ones.

In … Continue reading Our 2020: A Year of Faith, Love and Dream
Fourth Trimester? Seriously? Yes, this might be the reaction of people who have not been pregnant or even those who are already mothers. Fourth trimester exists.

This is the story of my life...well, not exactly my whole life. I'm not sure if I was a happy-go-lucky person, or still am. I don't know. When I stepped into college, I had friends..well, they were my blocmates. I took BS Physics because of my mom. Part of me wants to be like her … Continue reading My Purpose-Driven Life: From Singlehood to Motherhood
Most parents would want their kids to excel, and others even do everything just for their kids to get awards, certificates, medals, etc. But me, I don't want that. There are just so many thoughts that ran inside my head while we were on our way home. As usual, as a backrider, I don't have … Continue reading I don’t want my child to excel
One time, I read an article that asked "What is your goal?" Then that's the time I asked myself, what is my goal? I haven't thought of it ever since I became pregnant and got married. Me and Dann are just striving to survive each and every payday (and that's our short term and immediate … Continue reading Goal Setting

I realized that it is not true that you'll know the value of money once you start earning money. The time you'll … Continue reading 101: Money and Responsible Parenting
Last Saturday, we had our breakfast at McDonald's. There were three Kiddie Crews assisting the customers. One kid was assisting her mom and the mom went "do you know where the sugar is?" then she answered "of course, I work here".
