Celebrate joy!

Hello everyone! We're on the last few days of October and we're still where we were last March! Eeeeep, pandemic! For my birthday this year, I only asked for one thing: a beach trip with friends.  Birthday wish fulfilled! Yaaay! I think most of us have been wanting to go out for a while now. And understandably so! Have you guys seen that meme of that travel aficionado who used his treadmill to mimic that of the airport conveyor belt? That was about as far as we can live vicariously at this point, so a little breather outside MM really does our souls good. Now that the government has eased its restrictions, we now have a leeway to book that trip but of course, we should still be vigilant of ours and others' health. So here are quick checks that you need to do before booking a trip outside the Metro.

After going to El Nido, we went to Puerto Princesa which was such a nice surprise because we didn't think it would be as fun! Trivia: This was the post-vomiting leg of our trip because we had food poison in El Nido hehe! Quite the adventure, yes! One day we were island hopping, having the best time of our lives and the second day, we were throwing up our dinner on the bathroom floor hahaha! I didn't know that you can vomit in a perfect trajectory until that day. Eeeeew but true! So Puerto Princesa was us trying to still make our adventurous selves happy, we still went ziplining and rappelling! Here is a short video!

Oo na nga, sobrang tagal na nito... lol! But this whole staying-home-strictly-no-traveling situation that we have has got me dreaming of packing my bags somewhere where there are sand, seas, and sun! I think you are too! So here is our honeymoon video of Palawan at El Nido. Days after we got married, we went to this beautiful island! Why El Nido? Well aside from it being hailed as the most gorge beach in the Philippines (topping the white sand beaches in Bora and the diving-haven that is Bohol), I wanted to go to a place both of us haven't been to so that both of us would be discovering the place for the first time (odiba, minsan poetic at corny akey like that!). So here is the first part of our honeymoon video, enjoy!

Just the other day, I had the greatest scare since Sophia was born. She was standing inside the crib, trying to balance herself using one hand, when she slipped and hit the back of her head against the wall where the crib was leaning on. 

Hi there! If you are also in-between, let me encourage you, relax ka lang ... God's plans for you are still good, pleasing and perfect. I guess it is only apt to also share how this year has changed for me in a lot of ways.  VGH faaaaam (nung wala pang social distancing! :))

Here it is! The last installment of my Japan series which will be about Nagoya! Whoohoo!

How are you? So much has happened since my last post – not only on a personal level but on a global level. Covid 19, kelan mo ba kami illet go? Wag na masyadong clingy! Lol! Anyway, I was browsing through my old photos and I realized that my Japan posts were already way overdue! So I will be catching up on our Japan posts... this is also my way of documenting what happened on our trip. Sana naman maalala ko pa ang mga detalye bilang buntis pa ko nun at 5 months na ang anak ko haha! So here it goes! Fave Rokkosan!

Life Update (kala mo vlogger!!!) Our little bachuy just turned 2 months yesterday! Eto na  ang pinakamatinong pic namin 2 kahapon haha!  We tried taking a photo of us 3 but she was crying, soooo...  sa 3 months nalang niya ulit ;) Whatever happened to the time! It’s crazy to think that it’s been almost a year since I got pregnant, remember how I found out? And how I threw my first pregnancy kit which already tested positive because I thought the faint line wasn’t counted? Lol! And yet here we are, me typing away on a keyboard on the dining table while my two babies are taking a snooze in the room (the other baby being my husband :P) It’s quiet in the house, which is a much welcome breather to an otherwise frantic morning. Thankfully, Sophia Zayn is sleeping longer at night these days so we are better rested than we were a month ago. A month ago was akin to a Walking Dead episode with my eyes half-closed,  walking ever so slowly to our sofa with a much t

Hiiii! Isa na kong ganap na ina! :D I haven't posted for awhile because alam nyo naman, motherhood.. lol! Our little bachuy, Sophia Zayn, is turning 2 months this Sunday, ambilis! Here she is! What a cutieeee! Syempre anak ko yan!   But before that cuteness came into this world, we were in for an adventure -- every trimester while I was pregnant, I was on bedrest so it wasn't the smoothest pregnancy... and the worst happened just right before Christmas, Christmas Eve to be exact.  With Covid-19 on the rise and making us all panic and worried, I thought it would be fitting to share what happened to us on my 8-month of being pregnant and hope this encourages you! For this one, my husband, Dennis would tell you guys what happened and how that was the scariest moment we had as a couple...  Hubby, pasok! Dec 23 last year, my wife Joy asked me a personal question, "kamusta kayo ni God? " And after she asked me this question, it
