Chasen Dreams

Last weekend, we had a spur-of-the-moment staycation.   It was my husband’s idea because we needed to relax.   We had been very tired and anxious for the past days.   He also thought that Cean might have gotten her skin allergy from our home.   Baka daw allergic sa bahay namin.   My husband is OA like that.  lol I rushed Cean to the ER last week because of skin allergy.       Until now, I still don’t know the culprit because I did not introduce anything new to her.   As prescribed by the doctor, I eliminated chicken, chocolate, egg and nuts from her diet.    Chicken na nga lang kinakain eh, inalis pa.   lol.   But, she’s okay now.      And I’m okay now.   I was able to repay my sleep debt.   Thanks to our staycation.   We stayed at Prime Hotel. It’s located at Sgt. Esguerra, Bgy. South Triangle,   Quezon City.   Actually, it’s just a few blocks away from our home....

My husband gave  me a big surprise on Mother’s Day, so I believed it’s just fair to return the favor. Haha.   However, knowing my husband, he wouldn’t appreciate “Happy Father’s Day” letter cut-outs, balloons, flowers or mushy message on Facebook.   Making him feel  extra special is a bit hard.   I always make him feel  special, that’s why.  Haha.  I mean, I always cook yummy food for him so, a  surprise breakfast won’t be a pasabog.   He is also not a maporma type of guy.  He buys clothes simply because he can’t go to work naked.  So, buying him clothes will not make him extra happy.  He doesn’t have sports.  He is not into NBA.  He is not adventurous. He has not climbed a mountain, and has not tried wakeboarding or surfing.  Skydiving is not in his to-do list. He is not into gadgets.  He is not into photography.  See, it’s  hard to choose a gift for him.  ...

Just right after the Holy Week, my mom and nieces visited us here in Manila for a few days.  As kids raised in the province, my nieces consider Manila as a lovely place, a place to be excited about.   As their Tita Ganda, I didn’t want to take away that notion. I wanted to take them to places that highlight the “beauty” of Metro Manila, or to places that would make them happy, at least.   I thought of Manila Zoo, Kidzania, Ace Water Spa, Club Manila East and  Ocean Park.  However, considering that my mom could easily get tired,  I changed my plan, and opted to go to  senior citizen-friendly places or  places where we won’t endure the other face of the metro (traffic, pollution etc.).     Since kids love to swim, I decided to just look for a hotel (with pool) near our place.  And luckily, I stumbled upon B Hotel QC.  It’s a relatively new  hotel located at Scout Rallos, Quezon City, a tricycle ride away ...

December 15, 2013 – Chadan turned one!   I know. I know. This is a late post again.   What do you expect from a wife who does not have an internet connection at home?   You read it right.   We don’t have an internet connection   and most of my blog posts were written and published in the office.      I usually write during lunch/coffee breaks or during coding days.   That explains my lack of updates.    Excuses! Lol. Okay, you can include my laziness.   In this facebook age, you must be wondering why we still have an “offline” home.    Actually, it’s   a decision we both made – to spend quality “just the two of us time” at home.       We are afraid that facebook and boxing   blogs might steal the paltry     time we have after a stressful err productive day at work.      So, where are we? Chadan’s 1 st Anniversary.   We celebrated our first...
