BEING A 100% FINANCIALLY DEPENDENT STAY AT HOME MOM (SAHM) IS AKIN TO GAMBLING If your cards are right, your kids will thank you for raising them right. Your loyal husband will thank you when you’re both older for forgoing a career and taking care of the household so that he could be successful in […]
October 3, 2021 Spiritual Awakening: How Many Babies Do I have to Lose? I’ve never really dreamt to be a mother, but do I have to lose three fetuses in a span of 7 years? My first miscarriage was a surprise. After knowing that I was pregnant in January 2015, I felt it was the […]
September 22, 2021 The Road to Marital Bliss My father told me when I was in my 20s that I should be more like my mother if I wanted to stay married. Apparently, he felt that his cheeky opinionated daughter could not land herself a husband, more or less keep one. Of course, him being […]
Hindsight is the greatest teacher. While people are suffering due to the no work no pay policy during the ECQ, I cannot help but think that there’s invaluable lessons for employees from this ECQ experience. Not everyone goes through the same ECQ experience. Some people suffer than most. While many complain about not having any […]
A woman is mad because she discovered her husband was talking to a recently separated officemate and offering her words of comfort as she goes through her separation. “Honestly, I felt jealous on how he comforts her,” she complained. “He already did this before when we were living together. He would still message his ex, chat […]
ORIGINAL QUESTION: My husband and I constantly fight over petty issues. Like just 2 weeks ago we fought over an officemate of his that would send him memes from FB through messenger. Anytime of the day even during weekends. His point is it’s not like he’s doing something wrong. My point is he should act […]
We had an interesting experience at Daranak Falls Tanay. When we went to Tanay Daranak Falls, we heard the big voice of a man who was hawking his mango graham goodies. Mango Graham in a tub is super easy to make. A recipe can be found here. We just found it a bit weird that […]
We have arrived at Crystal Mozart at 6pm after checking out from Prague, and visiting Kuta Hora. It is an utter pleasure to be at Crystal Mozart again. The staff greeted us warmly and many recognized us from last year. It was so nice to hear them say, “Welcome Madame, do you remember me from […]
We used Turkish airlines this time, and it’s an 11.5 hour ride to Istanbul where we will have a lay over to Prague. Turkish Airways had a decent legroom, an average meal and so-so service. They gave the kids a toy pack so that was really nice. Here was our mea of stir fried beef […]
Unbeknownst to me, my husband is a certified dork and loves Transformers, Gundam and Lego. This is our personal collection at home: To Get There Go to Yau Ma Tei station and come out at Exit D Waterloo. Turn right and cross the road once you exit the station. Yes, this corner. Cross the road. […]
Husband and I have joined more pre-marital counseling sessions more than average. We’ve gone through at least 15 separate sessions both one on one and as a group, but after we got married, there was still some adjustment. Apparently, most pre-marital counseling sessions are merely formality, and despite their good intentions, do not really dive […]
Hubby and I booked a staycation at The Alpha Suites Makati for my post birthday celebration. It’s a nice hotel that offers studio units that include a small living room, dining and kitchenette set, all for a relatively cheap price of Php 6,000 a night (USD 117) all in, including free breakfast. You need to […]
