Most nights, especially work nights, I’d be asleep by 8:00pm and already starting work at 6:00am. Last night while laying down, I got to thinking about what my daughter said, regarding one of her friends going through my blog and re-reading my old posts (and how they got to talking about my book). And I…

{Make Time}
My love for Korean dramas started after watching “Crash Landing On You”. A show recommended by my daughter. I can’t actually count how many KDramas I’ve seen after that. Today, I finished Navillera. The story is about a young man, an aspiring ballerino and a 70 year old man whose childhood dream was to learn…
Born to Be You
Do you know anything about nests or nest building? Surely I don’t. Where does this came from, you may ask? On my way back to the building I work at, there’s a beautifully crafted nest that caught my eyes. I’m guessing it fell off the tree and someone picked it up and put it down…
A Man Like No Other
Theirs was a marriage meant for the books. He was a man like no other. My father was the youngest among six children. Him and my mother were neighbors. They eloped and were married on March 3, 1963. They were blessed with five children, with twins. I always remember Daddy to be a hardworking man….
Who Are You?
It’s 3 a.m. (3:12 to be exact). And just like as always, I try to make myself fall back to sleep by scrolling through my social media account. Sometimes it works, at other times it doesn’t. While I was scrolling, I saw this article about motherhood. That of being a stay at home mother. The…

What Happentance?

It’s Not About Me
For the past weeks or was it months (at least that’s how it felt like), I have this empty feelings about my IG account. Now if you know me personally, you would know how much I love photography. But then it came to a point where all I see are people posting photos every day…
Which Side Are You?
Has it ever occurred in your life where you asked yourself if you are on the wrong side of the fence? Just a few hours ago, I had this dream. In my dream, I was still in school. In a particular class, there were a few of us that were not chosen to be included…
Be Thou My Vision
Do you believe that we have to give up something so we can be intentionally better at another thing? The same way with giving up certain luxuries of our lives, whether it be luxury in the form of the flesh, how we live and work and how we entertain ourselves so that we can be…
