Things have been pretty hectic at work. It also does not help that I have this stomach flu/ bug/virus that makes me run to the toilet as if bees are coming after me. What I do at the toilet..well, it’s not a pretty sight. Let’s just say it comes out both ends. Every few months,... Continue Reading →
Brave Naked Runs, A Fact Of Life
Last month, we were discussing if we should get a CCTV camera for our new place. We have been a bit paranoid ever since someone broke into our unit last year. The burglar climbed into the balcony like Spiderman, forced the window open and stole valuables. He was playing ninja in the middle of the... Continue Reading →
Beware The Cranky Mom
I really don't mind being busy. In fact, I love having a certain level of stress. I used to thrive on a professionally stressful day. I love it but I hate what it does to me. I head home tired, cranky and closed from interaction. My brain just wants to shut down and stop thinking.... Continue Reading →
Bento Moms, The Overachievers
Mondays. Ugh. I really live for weekends nowadays especially with this freakish cold weather here in Manila. 24 degrees in a tropical country is rare.

It should not be attempted by anyone else. I present the "Travel Disaster Of The Century!": The week before school started last June 2013, Bea and I decided to... Continue Reading →
No To Resolutions Without Action
The first month of the year is halfway through. I had my birthday last week and it was definitely different from my past birthdays- No party, no fancy gift, no travel, no fancy dinner. I spent it with my little family with pizza at home, beautiful roses from my husband and greetings & messages from... Continue Reading →
Single Mom In The Relationship Circus
I get the "How hard was it to date as a single mom?How did you handle it? Do you have tips on single mom dating?" question a lot. I rarely answered it seriously since I was right smack in the middle of it and it's not as easy as it looks. Now that I'm married, it's... Continue Reading →
