Celebrate joy!

  “It’s always a yes, unless it’s a no.” I heard this one parenting advice that will make parenting more worry-free and less stressful. If they want to take a bath in their swimsuits, go ahead. If they want to run across the field with only their nappies on, go run! If they want to say hello to every single person at the grocery store, go at it! If your one-year old wants to take a bite of the french fry of her big sister, just let her have it. If your three-year old wants to sleep every single night with her newfound toy, no problem! If it’s not going to harm them or hurt anybody, just say yes.

Hello, everyone! It's me. It's been a long while, I know, my last update was when I announced that I was preggo with our rainbow baby! Ciara just celebrated her 1st birthday, and Sophia just turned 4. I have been missing writing so here I am, making up for the lost time by picking up my digital pen and blogging again.  Chunky Ciara at 6.5 months Do people still blog these days? I don't even know... lol! Lahat ata naka-reels and youtube videos na. But all I know is that writing is the oldest friend I have relied on ever since I was a kid. It has been my companion and comrade when I am feeling down ( like when I found out we had a miscarriage ), happy ( when I got married ), when I need to reflect, or a space to gush over how pretty awesome the world is ( first time in Japan ). So sana may magbasa parin, and I hope that this space will be able to make you smile and encourage you. So sa dami ko nang sinabi, eto nalang... some photos of my fam to catch you up! PS: I promise to ...

 Hi everyone! Wow, buhay pa pala ako! Lol! Anyway, so my last post was March and today is September 13, and guess what? I am 6 months pregnant as I type this... SURPRISE! Well, we announced it when I was 8 weeks pregnant and we just wanted to make sure that the baby is fine and had a heartbeat already before we officially announced... but yaaaay!

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...

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 ...

Sometimes I forget that I'm already pregnant, 7 weeks to be exact. Just a few months ago, my mind is circling with worry and bouts of fear of infertility, and now, I have a miracle inside my tummy! During the praise and worship time awhile ago, I cannot help but be amazed on how good God is! He really is amazing, a good good Father who gives His children the desires of their hearts. So grateful to be a mommy-in-the-making! Although I must admit, my body surprises me a lot these days. Some days are worse and some days are better. These days are better. Last week, I would stare listlessly at the bread in front of me, contemplating whether my stomach would agree with it or not. I also say no every time my husband offers to cook me breakfast, because even the thought makes me heady and nauseous. And if you know me and my appetite, you would know that this is a major change! Lol! Because people know me as the girl who is constantly hungry and is always on the hunt for snacks. That...
