Uno Lakwatsero
This series of photos was taken last March 19. It was late afternoon, my dad went out to get something and this little boy followed and he went all the way to the gate, it’s like he wants to go out and make pasyal.
My son is really growing, at his age he likes copying the things that adults do. For example, he likes opening the stove, which scares me sometimes, so we always keep an eye on...

Blow-out!
After church, Uno and I went home because I still had to do some more laundry before we go Clyde’s brother’s graduation blow-out. Work just doesn’t stop on my rest day. I don’t think I get to have my rest day because there are a lot of chores and things to be done on my off from work. Well, that’s part of being a mother and a wife.
We arrived at around 5:00 pm,...

Lots' A Pizza!
Finally I was able to eat at this Filipino style pizza chain, Lots’ a Pizza. Thanks to my good friends, Joy and Charlie. We were just teasing Charlie to treat us but after a few hours of convincing, he finally gave in. Joy and I had to give P50 each because that was the deal, hehe! I was surprised that their pizza was quite good. It’s always not true that good quality comes with a...

This is a great thing about call centers, or any type of work out there, we sometimes have parties in the office. This is one thing that employers do to make their employees happy.

Good thing there are some fruits and...

Responsibility
“Newborn baby girl found yesterday in QC inside a plastic bag hanging fr a tree. Baby now in hospital.”
A tweet I read from TV reporter, Kara David, SERIOUSLY?! Nakakainis! No, the word is not nakakainis, NAKAKAGALIT! The parents of this little baby does not know the meaning of the word “responsibility.” Responsibility starts from a couple having sex and knowing the...

Happy Sunday!
Having no work during Sundays is very important to me because I go to church and of course I always bring Uno with me. I want Uno to grow up knowing that there is a Higher being among us. I love that in our church, that children are given importance. Every Sunday, children are told different moral stories. They tell stories about patience, about being obedient to their parents and many others, and...

The Essence of Being a Woman

She gave birth through cesarean section. We are all excited what the baby would look like because his dad is British. And to no surprise the baby is so beautiful! The baby...

Good or bad parenting?
I have read this article about a mom blogger who apologized to the moms she had judged before, I reallt find this interesting. She judged the parents whom she thinks are not feeding their children healthy food, parents who let their children watch too much TV, and the parents who ignored their children when they are having tantrums. She realized her mistakes when she became a parent herself....

Watch“20 things I dislike about the Philippines.”
I admit that these 20 things are true, but I gotta admit too that there are more than 20 things that people love about the Philippines. The government should take this seriously, the government is powerful enough to fix these 20 things, especially the thing about how our drivers obey our traffic rules.
Another great observation is about...

Mixing Prints according to Madewell
Mixing prints are is in this Spring/Summer and Madewell shows us how to do it. You have to own it and you have to mix the right patterns.
Mix prints that have the same color. I think when you do this you can never go wrong.
Mix the same pattern in different colors. This is another rule.
Polka dots and stripes. Now, this one is a risk.
Mixing the right colors is a must.

Crunch!
I love ice cream, this is one of my favorite desserts. A lot of ice cream brands mix ice cream with chocolate. There’s Selecta and Nestle, but I want to try Nestle this time. I know there’s a lot of calories in those but we need to indulge sometimes. A little of this wouldn’t hurt. Hihihi!
One of my favorite chocolates is Crunch. I love just it’s texture and I love to be...

Friends+Point and Grill+Bayo
I did something new for a change. It’s been a long time since I have done something like this. I went out with some colleagues from work. I didn’t realize that it’s good to do something like this sometimes until I did it. Most of the time I go out alone or with my family. We just ate but it’s refreshing to me, I’m grateful that Golden asked me to come with them.

RIP Karl Roy
I was so shocked to find out the news that Karl Roy is dead, the front man of Kapatid. He may not be my favorite rock star but we have one less musician in the music industry. This man has great talent so it’s really a great loss.

The Borgias
The Borgias is a series on the Lifestyle Network that airs every Saturday at 9:30 pm. I love how elaborate and well developed the plot is. The setting is in Italy in 1492. It is about a Pope, who’s being played by Jeremy Irons, and his family who are greedy of power. Jeremy Irons played his part really well, he really is a brilliant actor. I love that they are not afraid to show...

I decided to go to National Bookstore and go through some books and I found a lot of good reads but I can’t afford them right now, so I just took pictures of the books I would like to buy...

Vaccine+Tokyo Tokyo Ba Ga
Last Monday, we brought Uno to the doctor for his monthly check-up and vaccination. At the same time Clyde will also have a check-up because he’s having a cough.
I know we are very protective of our children, we don’t want them to get hurt but vaccination is inevitable. This is important to protect our children from diseases and to help them have a stronger immune system. Good thing...
