I am so crippled. I really need to learn how to drive. But I need to get better at following directions first. Maybe I need a Garmin GPS first. Imagine this: I need to go to the store, 45 minutes away by public transport AND I need to bring the kids (no one left to [...]

We went to the city last Sunday and I was so happy the husband was able to borrw his Dad’s car because it was airconditioned and safer – it was so hot that day and at least we were able to go around the city comfortably. It needs rv extended warranty though as its insurance [...]

When we moved from the city to the mountains (as well call it, we just moved to the suburbs – the very far suburbs!), it was like experiencing a cross country move. Not only did we experience environmental changes, there were more lifestyle changes that we need to adapt to. It was quite overwhelming, being [...]

I saw two elderly women yesterday walking along together at around 8PM. Given where we live, that’s late into the night already. I got worried for them since we don’t have that much streetlights and our main road is a highway into one of the busiest cities in the area. Speeding vehicles might run over [...]

Last week, our rice cooker died. It short-circuited. Last Saturday, our washing machine stopped spinning.
(Sino kaya ang may balat sa pwet sa amin?)
Buti na lang mura lang magpagawa dito. Nevertheless, we looked for a new machine yesterday plus a few other items in the appliance store. It is now in line [...]

Robinson’s Supermarket opened a few weeks ago. This one is in Tagaytay, right in front of Josephine’s, so it’s nearer (and of course nicer). The whole area I think will be a lot like Blue Wave – there’s going to be a coffee shop, some restaurants and on the second floor there is a [...]

With what I think had zero happenings. I swear each weekday goes by at snail pace and then when weekend hits it’s like a tornado happening. I better learn pacing myself.
There’s only two months left until Christmas! I still have a dozen plans to firm up. I need to decide what kind of decors we [...]

The nice thing about living in the suburbs is the wide space between houses. It is common here to have a small house with a wide open lawn and garage that can fit it three cars. I love that the kids have plenty of space to run around and enjoy themselves without having to go [...]

Somebody asked me how I got such nice indoor lighting in our house – my pictures of the kids have such nice lighting. While there are admittedly good shots, I go through trial and error in getting those using the manual mode. I dont shoot in Auto anymore because I want to learn. They are [...]

Inspired by my attitude in being positive to attract positive (good) karma, it was nice. There were a few bout of frustration and temper but all in all, it was way better than any other day before it.
Im writing at 8PM and am ready to call it a day. It was a jampacked day that [...]
