This month didn’t start out good for us. The hubby got sick and then I got sick. It wasn’t all that bad, just cough, colds and fever. I chalked it up to a regular flu. However a few days after the fever, I realized that I lost my sense of smell and taste. I wasContinue reading “Positive?!%$&*”

One Year
March 12, 2020. It was on this day that I came home from Cebu. I had gone off for two things: work and my mother’s 3rd chemotherapy session. Last January 2020, my mother was officially diagnosed with Stage 3 Cancer. She had to undergo six chemotherapy cycles and one month of radiation therapy. My brotherContinue reading “One Year”
Oh Valentines!
I married a not so very romantic man. My husband does not buy flowers or even simple thoughtful gifts for special occasions–Valentine’s Day included. While no woman would refuse a bouquet of flowers, I think we sometimes have to be practical as well. Flowers, candy and chocolate becomes overpriced when February 14 comes along. Besides,Continue reading “Oh Valentines!”
Joyful and Blessed
Most people my age have already have their own house, vehicle, a handful of kids and a stable job. I have only one of the above, which is a stable job and only one child. My husband and I have yet to build our house, we have a car and a motorcycle but the vehicleContinue reading “Joyful and Blessed”
Losing weight –not!
I have been desperately trying to lose weight since 2019 to no avail. Haha! I’m not that obese but I do have about 20 or so extra pounds to shed. However, try as I might, the fats have come to stay. Like seriously, I work out 4-5 times a week and try to fast intermittentlyContinue reading “Losing weight –not!”
M-I-L
Anyone who is married or once was married can probably relate to my title. Yes, you guessed it, the dreaded word: Mother-in-Law. Haha! As a Libra, I can adjust well with people. I am the type who can talk to the janitor and the boss with ease. I am diplomatic and people often open upContinue reading “M-I-L”
Together For Always
I did get married last June 20, 2020. The husband chose the date even before the pandemic and since we were allowed to do so, it pushed through. I married late by most people’s standards and to someone younger than me (just a couple of years, though). We are not your traditional people so IContinue reading “Together For Always”
Social Media and Me
Unlike most people with accounts in all social media platforms, I only have a Facebook and an Instagram account. I used to have one on MySpace but that has long been defunct. I also have a Twitter account that I don’t use (and have long deleted the app on my mobile). For Facebook, I useContinue reading “Social Media and Me”
New Year, New What?
2020 has come and gone. Most would say good riddance, right? For me, the past year was more of a blessing than a nightmare. Last year, I was able to rediscover the old me. I was able to get back into baking and cooking, to spending long overdue time with family (thanks to working fromContinue reading “New Year, New What?”
Getting to Know Me
They always say that some people do not show their true selves to the world. They probably offer a quarter of their real personality because they feel unworthy, inadequate or shy to do so. I myself am not quite true to the people around me, not because I have something to hide, but rather becauseContinue reading “Getting to Know Me”
