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...

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...
Uncomfortable, sticky, and stuffy periods – my daughters and I relate to each other when it comes to that. It’s a monthly routine when we dread these days because we feel all these sorts of emotional and physical discomfort before, during, and after our period. #HingaLangGirl with Whisper Breathable pads But as moms, we always learn through experience, how to expect these kinds of pain and avoid them. And that’s the beauty of it being a mom of two girls since they can always come to me for advice when it comes...
For the teen KPOP fans out there, and the parents who are having headaches how to teach or inspire their kids to MANAGE their time wisely – I feel you! Are you a parent of KPOP fans like me? Being a fan, not only of Korean popstars, even of other celebrities, can be fun. It’s a fact because it’s one form of entertainment and we need these to make our lives more exciting and to freshen ourselves after hours of working. In fact, I even went to a KPOP concert one time with my kids and had absolute fun. You can...
As a mom of 2 teen daughters, I think of myself in a bit of more difficult situation because I grew up without a mother. But you know what, being a parent will always be difficult whether you grew up without a parent or not. It’s because we are all inborn with unique personalities. And so why did I write this post if nothing applies to anyone, you might say? It’s because our children are exposed to similar situations. These include raging hormones, peer pressure and social media, to mention a few. From these, we can all say...
Before my kids went to school today, they asked for an advanced permission for a weekend “pasyal” with their friends, after all, the exams will be over by then. Until now, I can’t still believe that my kids are already in this stage when “letting go” bit by bit is unavoidable. Teen parenting is getting tougher as years pass by and not only because of these “going-out” thing with other people. When I got pregnant, I thought our love and devotion to our kids will be enough to guide us as a parent....
When my daughters were toddlers and before they reach age seven, playing kiddie games with them was pretty regular for us. We have kiddie parties at home, lots of singing, dancing and laughing when we are together. Even when we are with our in-laws, we all spend time listening to our little kids’ babbles and giggles. Oh how time flies so fast, and so we all say. Now, my two girls are grown up and some things have changed. Aside from the physical changes, they of course, do not want to play the same games as before. They also do not...
Are you ready for life in Mars ? You might not know it but there’s an increasing interest about The Red Planet, the planet Mars, these days. Just last year, NASA had just confirmed the evidence of water in MARS and since water means life for us in our planet Earth, the thought of being able to live in MARS had peaked so much interest in many people these days. Two decades ago, on my elementary days, I have already heard about ideas that there can be life in Mars. But as far as reality is concerned, I think we were too far back then....
