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 [...]

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 [...]

Love to All the Mommies From Mommy C

And so we welcome the merry month of May. It was hot outside, somewhere in the high 80’s. It’s the kind of weather you’d love to have when you’re building sandcastles or throwing Frisbees.

In Awe of the Awesomeness that is Captain Awesome

Woke up really early today to join the very simple celebration of Captain Awesome’s 8th birthday overseas. For those of you who do not know, we have a 15-hour time difference from the Philippines on daylight saving time. This means, when they gathered ‘round for dinner at 7pm Manila time, I was up at 4am [...]

Instant Messaging Concert

Okay, so I thought I’d blog something, err, big, but I got held up by my lovely Little Princess on Skype. I find it really divine that both Um and I grew up in creative environments. There are artists, unsung poets and lyricists, writers, musicians from both our families. It’s not very surprising, then, that [...]

The Breaking Point

So, the rain came pouring…in the beginning of spring. I seriously bawled my eyes out to sleep. Little Princess and Captain Awesome on video chat triggered it. I just couldn’t bear being away from them anymore. Summer has started on their side of the world. School’s out. This is the time of the year when [...]

The Learning Price Tag

Two weeks ago, I shelled out $560 for the reservation of my kids’ slots in this private school for the next school year. That’s two.hundred.eighty. dollars each. The tuition fee per child is way more than what I can afford right now. In fact, the tuition fee per child is more than what people who [...]
