time?s up
2008-01-07 15:34:00 Our two-week long break is officially over. Ramil and I are sad beyond words. LOL. We were able to have a lot of quality time during the break.

a wedding date
2008-01-07 15:09:00 Ramil and I were able to go on a date last January 2. We attended Leo and Dawn’s wedding and it made for a really good date for us.

almost over
2008-01-05 16:01:00 Our two-week Christmas break is almost over. Wah!!! I am not physically, mentally, nor emotionally ready for it. I’m sure my students aren’t ready for it too. Hopefully, I get to squeeze in some much-needed work before Monday. Now, if only Mateo will give me time to work tomorrow… More About: Teaching
no work means housework
2008-01-05 15:41:00 One of the things that I love as a teacher are the vacations that we get. Ever since I got married and had a baby, these vacations turn into time that I use to catch up on housework. It’s the time when I would be able to hand over Mateo to Ramil while I clean ...

reclaiming my lost love
2008-01-04 08:27:00 Nope, I’m not talking about an ex-boyfriend I’m talking about my love for the piano. I started taking lessons when I was around nine years old.

misbehavior as a way to get a parent?s attention
2007-12-31 10:14:00 Ramil and I were never the type of children who misbehaved to get our parents’ attention when we were growing up. I’m not saying we never misbehaved but we misbehaved for different reasons. Aside from seeing some evidences of this in some of our students, I never thought I’d find myself at the receiving ...

ending the year with a bang
2007-12-31 02:11:00 My sister just maxed out her card. The flurry of her Christmas shopping left her with little awareness with how much she was charging in her card.

2007-12-26 18:27:00 Well, ours was pretty relaxed and special. Even though it was our (Ramil and I) third Christmas as a couple, it was our first with Mateo , which made all the difference in the world.

2007-12-20 17:02:00 Seeing all the presents wrapped can give me such warm feelings inside. I love wrapping gifts ever since I was a kid.

gold bars, anyone?
2007-12-18 07:48:00 I used to have a lot of silver jewelries. Silver rings, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, etc. Ramil and I even had these matching rings. When you’d want to have some jewelry and gold is too expensive for you, silver is usually the more practical alternative. Some people buy these precious metals not just for vanity’s sake. ...

on being sick and tired of my baby
2007-12-11 15:25:00 Okay, I feel guilty just typing the title. Nevertheless, it’s a confession I must make. It’s very difficult to make this post since mommy blogs are usually overflowing with feelings of motherliness and gushes for their babies. Still, I am sitting down right now to write a post on how I became sick and tired ... More About: Baby , Motherhood , Sick , Tired , Mateo

old engagement
2007-12-06 15:13:00 My generation is slowly entering that time in our lives when almost everyone we know is getting engaged.

Little did I know that I ... More About: Getting Married , Engagement
yiha!
2007-12-06 15:05:00 During one of our pedia visits, we let Mateo try the wooden horse in the doctor’s office. He seemed to enjoy it because he’d rock the horse himself whenever we’d stop rocking the horse. I narrated the story to my mom and after a few weeks, she decided to buy her first and only grandson ...
car service
2007-12-06 14:29:00 Ever since Ramil learned how to drive, I’d always find an excuse not to drive. Don’t get me wrong, I used to love driving but with the traffic and parking I soon lost my interest in it. Parking can be such a hassle especially if you are in a hurry. My grandma’s friend who lives ... More About: Service
