The school year is almost over in the Philippines and I’m looking at few activity options for Shaynna during summer break. She once asked me if she could join in one of those ballet dance lessons. She might have been bored last summer, but what attracted her most to ballet is the tutu! […]

Shaynna knew how to operate the DVD player since she was three years old. If you are busy and you want to prevent her from following you around, then tell her to watch cartoons. It’s like Sponge Bob revolution at home, because Sponge Bob is her favorite and Kiera’s (my niece), too! […]

Preferences do change. When I was in highschool, I prefer to act more feminine. I love what most girls want: jewelries. Then I entered the university. Exposed to male-dominated student population, it is hard not to act a bit tough. So I shed off some of the things I liked. […]

When I went home last October, some of my bonding moments with Shaynna are spent doing arts: color books, spread Manila paperon the floor and doodle anything, paper crafts, etc. Then there was this set of watercolors that was a freebie when I bought her milk. As soon as we got home, […]

My father left us more than a year ago. It is still as painful as if it happened yesterday. I know that my mother is suffering the most, but the two children at home make her burden a lot lighter. It gets so noisy most of the time but there’s joy. […]

October 12 was a school day but it was hard to invite Shaynna’s classmates for a birthday party. So I decided to bring in snacks to school. A week before, I have asked my mother to make an advance order of Kiddie Meals from Jollibee and have it delivered to Shaynna’s school at 2:30PM. […]

There’s no way I’m going to post indecent photos here! Anyway, since Shaynna turned 3 years old, she had never slept beside me each time I go home. Yes, it hurt A LOT! But I could not blame her. I just tried all my might to set aside the pain and […]

My daughter, Shaynna is turning five on Monday. When asked what she wanted for her birthday? The whole family, some balloons and a layer of cake. As a girl, she added she wanted a tiara with flowers on it.

A lot of my relatives, on my father’s side are born artistic. My father was very good at drawing. However, as we only belong to a family of fishermen, nobody got a degree in Fine Arts or any related course. When I was a little girl, I had always wanted to join […]

I don’t have a car and I am far from having one, but here I am looking at websites checking out cars, SUVs, trucks, truck accessories, etc. Okay, let us just pretend that I have won millions of pesos. I would definitely buy a car not for my own comfort, when I stay […]

I don’t want to expose Shaynna to kid-unfriendly TV shows and computer games. But I guess she also needs to be exposed to such things. I am just so glad that she has learned self-discipline on her own.
I visited XBox website and found some family-friendly games like Ice Age! I still have […]

It is so good having babies and children around. My father’s death has become more bearable for my mother because of my little Shaynna and my niece, Kiera. At times, they get so moody but they are such great blessings. So sad I have never come to experience and witness Shaynna growing […]

No matter how hard you look at the picture, you cannot see how special they are. Inside, you could only find four 1-Peso and one 5-Peso coins, just a total of 9 Pesos (about 40 cents). But to my little Shaynna, that meant a lot more.When she was still 3 years old, Shaynna already knew […]

So why have I decided to take a detour before coming to Singapore? The reason is as obvious as ever. It’s because of my little Shaynna, of course. I was really glad my manager granted my wish to go home before March 28, one of Shaynna’s big days. She has finally […]

I’ve just had a chat with friends about our families. A couple of friends mentioned that some of their cousins have children who have already borne children. That make them grandparents, right?
Then a realization hit me, I have been a granny for years! Most of my cousins are much older than me and […]
