The Bright Side of Brownouts
It’s summer in Manila again, and hearing about the possibility of brownouts brought me back to my childhood days, at the time when power outages were a daily, or should I say, nightly occurrence.

Dreams of a Stay-at-Home Mom
Someday… I will get to step in the shower and stay there for as long as I want. I will not have to inhale my meals at home. I will eat them while they’re hot. And I will be seated, with time to savor every bite. I will go to the bathroom alone, with the … Continue reading »

Happy Valentine’s Day, Tagalog version
For Valentine’s day, a friend shared the proper way to use “Valentine’s Day” in a greeting when used with or without the word “day” in her Facebook status. It then became a thread that made me chuckle. This got me to thinking: Is there even a conversational Tagalog translation for “Happy Valentine’s Day?” Filipinos don’t … Continue reading »
Sweetness
My hubby is not really what you’d call romantic. But sometimes, he surprises me. Just like today. I found this on my bathroom counter (written with our kids’ colored liquid soap). And this on my son’s high chair. And on my kitchen white board. And in the kids’ bathroom counter. I completely didn’t expect this. … Continue reading »
