Mommy Adventures: The Christmas Wish List

While I, more or less, know everything that my children need, I do not always know what they want. So, I make them list down (or tell me) the things they want to have for Christmas. I usually give their lists to family members, godparents and, honorary aunts and uncles, and Um and I would [...]

Celebrations: Happy Thanksgiving!

The year 2010 has been a year of joy and sorrow for the family. It kicked of with Ms B and Chef’s wedding where friends and family, still hungover from the Christmas merriment, came to celebrate. It was extra special because it was an occasion that brought family together for the first time since our [...]

Mommy Adventures: A Glimpse of the Chaos

I’ve always been the Aunt. Well, actually, I’m the godmother, but out of all my godchildren, only one calls me Ninang. So, I’m mostly the Aunt. Auntie B, and I like it. I adore these kids who call me Auntie, and they adore me too, more because I am one of them. I still think that [...]

Guilty Pleasure: @ZacharyLevi

I did not watch a lot of TV when I was in the Philippines. Not that I did not want to relax and submit myself to the universal favorite pastime of couch potato-ing, I just did not have the time to. Because of this, I have not heard of Zachary Levi before Chuck. I actually [...]

Tongue Twisters

I like talking fast, and I like it when the words become tricky to pronounce. Maybe that is why I am kinda liking a lot of tongue twisters lately. Some of these tongue twisters are old (well, according to my mom), but I do have some that she has never heard before. Maybe they are [...]

Wanderlust: Sacramento Zoo

Zoos are always a hit to children. There’s something about animals that just captivates them. And then there’s the wild animals that they only see on TV (oftentimes cartoon-ized at that) right before their eyes. They get wowed over the majesty of the lion with its pride surrounding him, the big teeth of the alligator, [...]

My Little Dad Story

Everybody is sad about what happened to Dad. I am sad, too. But I believe that he is now in heaven. I think that he is a really great man. I did not really spend a lot of time with him and I did not really get to know him, but my Mommy keeps telling [...]

Mommy Adventures: Field Trips

Captain Awesome went to his first field trip here in the US yesterday. They had an option to tag along a chaperone or go alone, and though he has been going alone for the past two years to his field trips with Ateneo, I thought I would not pass up an opportunity to document another [...]

Mommy Adventures: Parent Material

With all my heart and mind, I am very certain that Chef and I are not yet in the position to become parents. Sure, Captain Awesome seems to think we’re ready, but that’s because I bought him everything he asked for when we went to the store. But really, what makes a woman mommy-material? When [...]

Blinks: Red

Last year, September 25, 2009, was a day of red. It was the color assigned for Captain Awesome’s class for the Salu-Salo, which was some sort of family day in Ateneo. A mini-program was held in the classroom along with some games before and after lunch/snack. After the classroom shindig, families went off their way to [...]

Wanderlust: HK Disneyland

I may have said this a million times: I haven’t had a vacation since October 2009. And I haven’t buried my feet in the sand since April….also 2009. Sad, sad, sad! I have been browsing through old photos of family trips and I delved into the first (and so far, only) family trip we took [...]
