Mommy Ning

So I am still awake in this godly hour and eating pineapple upside down cake. We just finished watching movie and I put back the little girl to sleep. I apologize though if I have bombarded you with press releases the past days. I was just busy trying to finish a book. You know the feeling of not putting it down and just simply continue reading right? But if I can only do it more often while sitting on a lazy boy with a hot tea or coffee beside me everyday, then it would be bliss. But it doesn’t mean the little rowdy kids in my house doesn’t give me equal happiness, in fact we practice already moments of silence everyday wherein each of us would read books. I read a novel while the kids would scan and share each other’s books. And yeah, I love watching them, it’s just total bliss. source This cyber place of mine is two years already today. Hurraaaay! I am also a year older and wiser today. While Boboy was preoccupied of prepping for my birthday trip, it’s just so funny how he blames hi...

A week form now, this cyber space of mine is turning two years already. I still can’t believe that I was able to sustain it considering the responsibilities I have. But because the main reason of why this blog has came to existence is also the very reason why I want to keep it going until the time my kids are able to read each post. They are the prime reason why I want to write, this little nook of mine serves as a written memory that when the time comes my memory doesn’t serve me well, I will be able to look back and read it. I also want to share a portion my life experiences I have as a mother and homemaker and hopefully to serve as an inspiration to you. After all, sharing is caring right? On the same day, it will also be my birthday. As much as I want to feel the vibe of youth, I have to accept the fact that I am getting older. Well, I guess I have to live with the saying, “age is just a number” right? Anyhow, this year, I don’t intend to celebrate the day in a grandiose way. ...

Waters cascading through the rocks and splashes through the leaves and plants surrounding the waterfalls as I inhale the cool breeze of the night. Two bamboo torches lit the area on both sides few meters away from the dinner  table. In the middle of the wasteland lies a romantic table set-up. A red faint colored tablecloth atop a table set up set with a red long stem rose inside a long necked crystal vase. Two glasses of champagne with red wine and two dinner plates each served with different menu. One plate with lamb chops and couscous on the side and the other one is served with mouth watering baked salmon with BLT on the side. How romantic isn’t it? I have always wanted to have a romantic dinner just like what I have imagined. How I wish I would be able to set-up a table just like it or closer enough except for the waterfalls thingy as the background. I want our anniversary to be something worth reminiscing, as it is the time that we commemorate how love came about and flourishe...

27 is over. At this very hour I am writing my blog post (while watching tv series marathon of gossip girl) of what transpired from my not-so-extraordinary day. Today marks two things in my life--my birthday and my first official year in blogspot. As much I want to have something special on this very day it turns out to be a mundane of roles (nanny and domestic). My morning started with a crying little girl who wants to be cuddled all morning and a little boy who made a lot of clutter in the living room. Panned to make a small trip to the church to say a silent thanksgiving prayer I couldn't make it possible because J was too busy in the office and went home late. What supposed to be a bonding time for us went to last minute grocery shopping because of the coming holy week. Nevertheless, what made me smile this day is that I had my kids around--who made this house filled with joy, giving me a purpose to move forward and awful eyebags and probably to fill this blog with lots of stori...

March is by far my favorite month of the year for few reasons. One is, fire prevention month (?), my blogversarry, start of summer vacation and oh before I forgot my birthday month. Yes, that is the ultimate. Few days from now there will be a plus one again to my age and every time that day comes, it makes me reminisce my life of how far I have become as a person. I cannot measure the gravity of it but by becoming a mom is the most important thing ever happend to me and Him entrusting me three lives to take care of that I am always thankful and grateful for.  Few years back, as part of my quarter life crisis (am I the only one in this?) I was rattled of how will my future become. If you were reading my previous posts, I was a plain carefree private nurse working without even thinking of my tomorrow. When I finally met my sugar and gave me wonderful kids, I have come to accept my responsibility as a person and reason of my being. MY FAMILY. And it should come number one in...

What is it with Valentines Day that people are pretty much preoccupied on where to celebrate it or what to give to their loved ones on this day? Oh wait, it's a day to make someone special, that is. But I am pretty much sure that everyday can be special not just Valentines day. Because there should not be a waste of moment where you show your loved ones how much you value them and love them. People work their ass off just to provide for their family (J is one of them) but TIME is the most essential thing you can give your family and in time you can bring so much joy. To avoid the traffic and the heart's day rush we had our pre-valentine dinner a day before and it was our monthsary also (yes we do commemorate it still). It was a simple family dinner with our kids. At first we were so hesitant to have a dinner date due to yayaless situation but I said, I don't think we have to sacrifice a dinner date just because we don't have a nanny. We can enjoy it as a family though. ...
