Tonight I just had this random thought: life lessons Eliana must know (and understand) so the world doesn’t hurt her. And from this random thought came Lesson #1: Do not fall in love with a jerk! Never ever! And maybe if I gave it much more time, I would have come up with a long list of…
What does it take for someone to desire and to actually run across the Philippines, about 2,180km from the southernmost tip which is Maasim, Sarangani all the way to the northernmost point in San Antonio, Aparri? I am not exactly sure, but the reason/s must be so much bigger than one’s self, so much more than…
While I write this entry, I have Eric Clapton’s Change The World playing in the background. Tomorrow signals the start of a four-day busy schedule for Owie and I, as well as for about 15,000 other delegates, as it is going to be Every Nation Campus’ Ignite, Asia Campus Conference. While the first day is for a…
This is a pretty late post, but been wanting to write about it actually because this event and the lessons we picked up from it have helped in structuring our marriage and individual goals. Last April 18th, Owie and I attended an intimate gathering entitled ‘Why Marriage?’It is a seminar for singles and couples alike.…
I have been working on our family schedule for the weekend because it is going to be Mother’s Day. Owie’s mom is home right now (from Hong Kong) and I would like him to spend that special day with her since it is not every year that this happens. We also want to spend time,…
Do not mistake this for a post fight analysis, because 1) I did not get to watch the fight as it happened as Owie was set to preach at the 1 and 3PM services of Victory Ortigas on the same day and time (almost) of the fight, 2) I am nowhere near a boxing fanatic…
Tomorrow is going to be our third wedding anniversary. Time really does fly so fast! Seems like only yesterday was the 18th birthday celebration of my cousin, Jamie, where I had first seen Owie and noticed his humor. It was October 2010. The following month, we caught a glimpse of each other once more bumping into each…
Has it been a year?! I did not realize it has been a year since I made one of the important personal decisions in my life. Important in the sense that with the decision that had to be made, it was expected to bring about significant changes; personal because although I was already married and with…
It is Holy Week and I am hoping despite people being on vacation mode, there will still be a moment at this time when one would stop and think of the very essence of this long break. This almost week long holiday is probably one of three holidays Filipinos look forward to – along with the…
How time flies! Seems only yesterday when I was figuring out how my days will look like once I become a stay-at-home mom (SAHM). I pictured it to be easy, breezy – like a nice, long quiet time with God while I have a cup of hot tea, time to read more books and work…
Owie and I always say we have never had any night time problems with Eliana. We both decided to apply the Babywise principle of scheduling, following the routine of feed-wake-nap since she was born. In doing so, true enough, she was sleeping through the night by eight weeks. There were very few instances she woke…
I never imagined that one day I will spend hours in the kitchen preparing a dish. More so, I never imagined I will be doing so every single day, not only once, for the most part of my life. I am not a cook. I did not know how to cook before I got married.…
I have not blogged in a while and I have no good excuse other than laziness and procrastination. Laziness and procrastination that stemmed from thinking I have nothing to share because I wanted to share something as concrete as the Word in black and white. I realized last Wednesday, however, that while it is really…
Oh, my! It is already February. Not only does it mean the first month of 2015 is done, it also means flowers, chocolates, dates, ‘cheese,’ ‘cheese,’ and more ‘cheese!’ Owie and I are not big in celebrating Valentines Day. In fact I remember our first as boyfriend-girlfriend was a disaster, but I believe in the…
Last January 8, I was privileged to be a delegate of TEDxOrtigas held at the main center of Victory Ortigas. TED is a nonprofit devoted to spreading ideas, usually in the form of short, powerful talks (18 minutes or less). TED began in 1984 as a conference where Technology, Entertainment and Design converged, and today covers…
