Mommy Adventures + Wanderlust: Sony Wonder Technology Lab [Part 1]

We’ve been MIA I can’t believe we’ve been on this side of the world for almost a year now. Boy, time is moving awfully fast, eh? I know, I know! I should have been blogging about our new life, but priorities always get in the way. I’m happy to share that we’ve been blessed to [...]

IDesign: Starting Design School

So folks, I’m starting IDesign, the design series of ID — inadvertently domesticated, in case you didn’t make the connection, LOL! Yes, this is quite diametrically opposed to whatever path I am in now, but to be honest with you, this does not come as a total random thing to me. If you read my [...]

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.

Thank You

We say it most, we say it least. We expect the most, but when unexpected, we are most pleased. We learn it early, we forget it too soon. Too simple, too benign, harmless, even. Yet a tad bit heavy, so over the moon. Given to those who do not care, really only to appease. Unsaid [...]

Taking the Kitchen Challenge and Then Some

This initiative did not start with the desire to learn how to cook. It’s really not a Julie & Julia kind of thing of honing your skills. It’s not about the fact that homemakers must know her way in the kitchen (but I still agree). This goal started with the house rule that whoever doesn’t [...]

Faith

I had a really bad experience with a certain company today while on my job hunt. I think it is safe to say that this is the first time that I have ever been discriminated for being an immigrant. I will (or will not) write about this incident in another blog post. But that incident [...]

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 [...]
