Happy Easter every one! We planned to go to Legazpi VIllage for the  Legazpi Sunday Market  but since we were both lazy to get up we went around past 10 in the morning. Maybe because it was Easter Sunday, they don't have community market (fail). But we will be back this weekend to grab some exquisite cuisines and fresh produce they sell there.   Yesterday, LJ was brawling about his desire to swim with his indoor pool but since it was already late I promised him today instead. Prepared a mini easter egg hunt for LJ and when they woke up this morning I asked LJ to look for chocolate eggs hidden in the living room. But he has an immediate answer of "gone" before he even try to look for things. Naku.  I hid a few chocolate eggs under some stuffed toys and when I gave him a clue to look under their puppy stuffed toy, he was terrified! Fail!  When he found 3 sets of chocolate eggs I asked him to give it to me so I can open it and enjoy the chocolates but at ...

To the people I have wronged, I humbly ask for forgiveness. To those who have caused me so much pain it may take time to heal a tainted heart but I will slowly unburden myself from too much agony. source source

Since we moved to this new place there was a drastic improvement with my son. Aside from the broadening vocabulary and speech I can now control his tantrums. Hooray! He still have this attitude of trying to assert what he wants alongside the tantrums and more crying spells aka playing actor role but the rest is already manageable. I heard A crying and LJ knocking the door. LJ: Open dool (door) mama! Open! Finally opened the door and carried A and asked LJ to wear his slippers. Me: Baby wear your slippers we're going downstairs. LJ: Oh no! Gone piper (slipper). He hasn't looked yet but already got an immediate answer . Piper (slipper) are you (where are you)? Found it mama! Me: That's good. Wear it now then we're going down. LJ: Kei (Okay). Oh wrong mama? Asking me if he wore it the right way.   Me: Wrong baby.  LJ: Wait! Switched the slippers finally got it right . Right mama? Me: Yes baby. Very good! Went downstairs and while having the usual snacks LJ gave A a piece o...

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...

I stumbled upon this video months ago and it's only yesterday that I was able to watch it. I love how the father delivered his message to his future son-in-law. You can feel the sincerity from it. Here's to my wishful thinking that I hope all fathers are like him including mine.  If only I had a father like him, oh I will be forever grateful.

The past days/weeks hasn't been looking up. Side by side frustrations, exhaustion and delay of some things that needs to be done. I am not a big fan of  mañana habit  and I hate delaying things especially if the major cause is a crappy one. I don't wanna spread the virus of frustration here but I just want to share my reflections. I remember my mom used to tell me, "If things aren't looking up the way you expected it to be, it may have a big reason behind. You just have to open up your mind and heart for it." Then again, it dawned on me that maybe He has brighter plans other than me feeling frustrated.  Aside from the exhaustion that unfolds frustrations, I have to consider that I am a MOM and I have my tots that depends mainly on my mood. If I get cranky all the time, they would also absorb the negative effects of my being. Pretty bad I know. I may be a SAHM yet it wouldn't serve it's purpose if I continue to sulk into frustrations and be pre occupied wit...

I am a self confessed foot fetish. I admire nice manicured nails and rosy feet which fits perfectly nice fitting sandals. (Don't judge :p) In order to achieve a decent looking feet, we have to pamper it more often. When I was still single I would pay regular visit to either Let's Face it or Dashing Diva every two weeks. I would love to sit in a cozy chair and served with iced tea and somebody is doing the pedicure and foot spa for me. Something that I miss about and one of my sacrifices as a SAHM. But do you know you can still enjoy it at the comfort of your home? You can do it by using simple ingredients from your kitchen and cupboard. Here are the things you will need: basin warm water calamansi salt pumice bath salt lotion Procedure: Boil water enough to cover your feet. Squeeze at least three calamansi juice and two teaspoon of salt to the water. (Calamansi juice refreshes your tired feet, soothes your skin and removes unnecessary odor. Salt is a natural remedy for fu...
