Mommy Adventures + IMHO: Rewards

I do not remember when fast food really started to disgust me. Captain Awesome and Little HRH are probably two of the very few kids who do not have a collection of Happy Meal or other kiddie meal toys. When we take them out, we eat at real restaurants. But there is no need to play [...]

Mommy Adventures: Health Care Providers

We are settling in pretty well in our new environment. School has started after the holiday weekend, and we have met some new people that we could potentially build relationships with. Aside from the unpacking, there are still so many things that Um and I have to take care of. We humbly thank God everyday for giving [...]

Music and Lyrics: I Saw Red – Warrant

Well, how goes it, everyone? It has been a while. I feel like I am writing from another universe right now, this being my first post since I moved to the East Coast. Captain Awesome, Little HRH and I are reunited again with Um. It has been a crazy couple of weeks, what with all [...]

Mommy Adventures: Packing for Four

There was a time when, believe it or not, I actually loved packing. Perhaps, it was the promise of adventure that came with it that got me into the activity. The fact that we had our ever reliable Manang Virgie to take care of the unpacking after the trip was always a pleasure. In fact, I [...]

Mommy Adventures: Staycation

So, we have survived another school year. It is summer, alright, but I will have to keep daydreaming about those cheap ayia napa holidays for now. Um and I have a full plate of [migraine-inducing] things to do for the next couple of weeks that we need all the resources – time, money and energy – [...]

Wanderlust: La Mesa Ecopark

Spring break has come and gone. The week went by so fast. Yep…just one week. I wonder if it is like that in all schools – even colleges – here in the States. It reminds me of my super short term breaks at De La Salle and how my friends from other universities (who usually [...]

Mommy Adventures: Coping with Death

There seems to be more news of deaths than births for the last couple of years. Two weeks ago, my children’s school welcomed spring with devastating news. A parent of two students currently enrolled at school passed away due to injuries he suffered from a tragic car accident. He was 35, and is survived by [...]

Music and Lyrics: Life is a Highway – Rascal Flatts

Parent-Teacher Conferences were held last week, Thursday and Friday, giving Captain Awesome and Little HRH two extra days for the weekend. We wanted to maximize the kids’ days off and take them out. Um and I originally thought of going on a day trip to Monterey, but Faja suggested that, with Captain Awesome and Little [...]

Mommy Adventures: Baby Essentials

Two words: Baby blanket. Make that blankets. Yep, my kids are waaaay too big to be called babies, but if there are baby essentials I still have (and make them use) they’re their old baby blankets! Um, the kids and I have moved so many times back in the Philippines before finally going through the [...]

On the Loose: Christmas Shopping

Christmas shopping was a lot easier and faster this year. I do not know if it was because most of our family, friends and godchildren are overseas or because I did this year’s shopping with my husband. I am more inclined to believe that it is the latter. LOL. But, we did only have very [...]

Mommy Adventures + Le Critique + IMHO: Another Kind of Program, A Different Kind of Christmas Spirit

On December 15th, Um, Mommy and I experienced a different kind of Christmas Holiday Program presented by our children’s school. I have got to say, I was somewhat culture-shocked. The program was divided into three parts. There was a play performed by the students from Kindergarten to fourth grade, some sort of “piano recital” and [...]
