Ever since the pandemic happened and just this year when my mom-in-law-died and then the delta variant scaring the whole country out and the government, thus putting us in ECQ once again, this creeping sadness within me seems to be in full action again. And whenever I feel it, I tell myself to fight it. You may be feeling it too and you know what, we really need to fight the sadness, these things in our mind which take away our joy. As I struggle this morning, I did these steps to lift my spirits and help me remember my Why’s....
Is your child entering college soon? How do you feel? If you will ask me, I’m half-excited and half-anxious. I’m anxious because I fear about my daughter’s safety and of course, I fear about the cost. Although we were saving for a long time for my children’s tuition fees, you still wouldn’t know the total cost of it until they are there. Although my kids are enrolled in a public Science high school, there were costs involved when they make projects or when they go to school trips and so much more, not...
Writing this piece is actually a struggle for me. Why? Because I know that this will trigger emotions that I don’t like to feel. I haven’t talked about these feelings to anyone and this is the only time that I am pouring it out. But I realized that maybe, somewhere out there, there’s a mom like me, or someone, who feels the same and that if I’ll be able to help just by telling my story, then I’ll be happy to take it as something as my payback to everyone and everything that helped me to get through these year-and-a-half...
Just wanted to document our experience that I think will be part of the “crisis of the century” – the Covid-19 pandemic, our antigen test-swab test that we never thought we would ever take. We decided to spend a day in Twin Lakes Hotel Tagaytay for Father’s Day and my birthday celebration. We got a Family Suite package and it included a 1-day stay on a 2-bedroom suite, 4 breakfast, and 4 massages or 4 antigen tests. During these days, Manila is in GCQ “with some restrictions” while Batangas is in...
It has been more than a year already since the country has been declared in lockdown, and boredom has been haunting the family like a ghost. Every week though, my husband and I go out to buy groceries, so somehow we still have an excuse to get a breath of fresh, different air. What I am worried about are the kids. When they’re not doing online classes, they’re gaming. My eldest says her biggest blessing right now is the PS4 because of the updating game catalog. Even my youngest, who barely plays video games, is now also addicted...
Everyday we wake up is a reason to be thankful but there are days and months that can be considered special. Although May 2021 is not a particularly happy month in our family with my mom’s passing away, this untimely passing reminds us all how worthy every second is that we spend with our family. This is actually Jollibee’s theme as it launched it’s Family Thanksgiving Month this year. In an exclusive interview with adobo magazine, Jollibee Global Brand CMO and JFC Philippines Country Marketing Head...
Just last week, our gentle shih tzu had accidentally bitten my eldest. He was sleeping on a rug which was in the middle of the room so my eldest tried to fix the rug. Maybe our dog got surprised by the movement and panicked, and bit my daughter’s toe. learned her lesson not to fuss with a sleeping dog My daughter, remembering how we taught them how to manage wounds, immediately went to the bathroom and washed her feet. Unfortunately, when she told us, we didn’t know how the wound bled so we couldn’t assess how...
