A Chronicler's Life

Swiper, No Swiping!

I was watching Dora the Explorer with my darling daughter and when it came to the scene that Swiper (the villain fox) was about to swipe Dora’s found item, I instantaneously remembered hubby’s expression when I was to swipe my credit card on the POS system of one of the posh malls in the Metro. [...]

Limitless options

Our T&B took a big chunk of the total area of our house. It is not totally like the bathrooms that you would see in hotels and resorts but at least close to that. It has a bath tub which I think a favorite of most women. Who would not like to relax in a [...]

An Anniversary to Remember

I was surfing the net one time to look for a destination for our upcoming second year wedding anniversary when a breathtaking picture of a sunrise caught my eye. It says in the caption that it’s the “Lost City of the Incas.” I got really interested and did a little research. It’s in Peru and [...]

Sophie’s Batangas Beach Trip

I was still not that well but then it was Sophie’s first beach trip with the family that’s why I had to be there even if hell (excuse me for the cuss) freezes over. I wanted to see and experience that first for her since I’ve missed out on a lot already. So I’ve mustered all [...]

A Tribute to a True Hero and Real Pinoy Idol

I’ve always been a lover of music. And I can also say that my musical range is very broad. Though I enjoy alternative music the most, I find pleasure in listening to classical, blues, jazz, pop, R&B, reggae, rock and even rap music genres too. I remember that I was just 12 years old and [...]

A Mother's Frustration

I’ve asked for a 7 day leave from the office because I’m really burnt out already and I’m glad that it was easily granted. I wanted to rest and relax and put my worries all away. I wanted to serve and take care of my family and have real quality time with them. Well, that [...]

Sweet Dreams Baby

I try not to think about it but it still happens. I drink vitamins, take supplements, eat healthy foods but I don’t understand why do I still keep getting sick. I hate it when it happens especially that I won’t be able to hold my daughter and do our nightly rituals: playing, reading a story, [...]

White Picket Fences

I remember when I was still a kid who loves to dream about the future, I’ve always thought of buying a house surrounded with elegant white picket fences. I’d love to have a garden of my own too and a fruit tree on my backyard. I imagined myself picking fruits from my very own grown [...]

Figs, I Like!

When I was still heavy with child my doctor warned me not to eat too many sweets for the fear that I might develop gestational diabetes. Being a sweet tooth that I am, it was so hard for me to put up with that. But of course since I don’t want anything bad to happen [...]
