Happy New Year!   I’m still alive.   It’s been months since my last   post. That’s why   I was  really having a hard time thinking  on what   I will write about. There were so many events/milestones that have transpired for the last months. My daughter celebrated her 2 nd birthday, I celebrated my birthday, we threw a surprise party for my   father’s 70 th birthday, etc. etc.    I will try to write a  separate blog posts for those mentioned events.   For now, let me just update you on what’s going on in my life.   I’m   YAYALESS since December 22!   I spent the entire Christmas vacation running after my uber energetic daughter.   I was a full time mom for more than two weeks. I have to admit, it was hard…really hard.   Ang lakas    makalosyang.    Without exaggeration, my time and energy were all given to Baby C.   There were times that I didn’t even bother to ...

One time, I found a chocolate bar on my table. Me: Kanino to galing? Officemate: Hindi ko alam.  Nandiyan na yan pagdating ko. Baka galing sa mga nag Subic. Me:  Alam ko na kung kanino galing! Officemate: Pano mo nalaman? Me: Isa lang naman ang kaibigan ko kaya alam ko na kung kanino galing. Officemate: May advantage din pala pag isa lang kaibigan noh? Haha Of course, I was exaggerating.  Hindi lang naman isa ang kaibigan ko.  But, I only have few friends.   I am nice, but I am not that friendly.  Does it make sense? Haha.  I feel that I am too old to make new friends.  I mean, I no longer have the luxury of time to make friends.  Don’t get me wrong but  I believe that  one needs to have time and effort to nurture budding friendships.  And how can I commit my precious time to others  now that I am already a wife and a mother?  And you know what? I don’t easily tag a person as my friend.  ...

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.  ...
