Dad: The Wedding Speech

This week, I find myself thinking about my maternal grandfather more often that I normally do. He has not been in the best shape since, I dunno, 2005. Right now, he and my grandmother live in our house far, far away in Metro Manila to be close to his primary physician. Mommy and her siblings [...]

Music and Lyrics: Angel – Jack Johnson

Who doesn’t love Jack Johnson? I mean come on, those awesome lyrics, fabulous voice, and he’s a surfer dude. No but really, he’s one of my favorites because he’s my kind of lyricist – and by my kind of lyricist I mean the Dave Matthews kind of lyricist. So, his (or their – with Dave) [...]

Calm

Inspiring works of art, awakening reflections (is that redundant?), philosophical conversations with my husband and an overwhelming feeling of being enveloped in God’s presence got me feeling somewhat, uhm, invincible. Here and now, no matter how confusing the events that are happening in my life are, I feel that all this is according to His [...]

Blinks: Kiddos

Blinks: Kiddos

photo: Ms B taken: April 2008, Tagaytay Highlands, Philippines I’m really missing these three kiddos right now. Not just them individually. More like the whole chaos. I really wish that there will come a time when bringing my whole family together is so easy. I want the security of knowing that the whole bunch is [...]

11th

11th

So, our 11th year begins. The dawn of a new decade. We both pledged to start it right even if we’re not together. Today, after our chat, I got up (not after answering a couple of messages from Ms B) and worked out. My routine was temporarily disturbed last week as Captain Awesome and I [...]

Music and Lyrics: Swing Life Away – Rise Against

This is the song that one of my SILs played during our AVP at our wedding. It’s not really our theme song, but it’s something we somehow can relate to. Happy anniversary, Um! I am so proud of the us that we have become.

Missing Noisy Halls

Missing Noisy Halls

And this week came and went. I have been absent this week because the preparations for our house blessing amidst work and having an 8-year old boy in the house actually takes time, which I first thought I could just wing it. This week, we finally completely unpacked from our move 3 months ago; we’ve [...]

Mommy Adventures: The Rules

I had a long talk with my son last night about the rules his dad and I have for him. I admit, we are more strict on him than on our daughter ‘cuz, you know, according to the Gaelic proverb, A son is a son until he comes of age. A daughter is a daughter [...]

Mommy for a Day

Mommy for a Day

I applaud all you mommies out there because today, I just did all my normal wifely and homemaker duties today with one not-so-little clincher… I had a kid with me. Oh boy. It started out very well, with me thinking I’m very much prepared with this huge undertaking. I made breakfast, even getting Captain Awesome [...]

Blinks: Run

Blinks: Run

photo & post processing: Ms C taken: January 2010, Caleruega, Philippines There was a time in our life when wandering is a sign of intelligence; staring blankly, a sign of curiosity. Then there’s the running aimlessly for the heck of it. It was fun. We felt the wind against our face, blowing our hair. It [...]

My Life in My Hands

My Life in My Hands

In my own way of dealing with my personal turmoil, I pray. I have been praying for direction. I have been praying for a path. And I always say that whatever the Lord tells me, I will follow in a heartbeat. When I see that burning bush, without a doubt, whatever it says, I will [...]
