A cozy escape : Hidden Paradise in Dumaguete City
Tucked away by the sea, The Henry Hotel Dumaguete was a serene surprise—from the lush greenery and cozy Villa Suite to unforgettable meals and endless pool fun with my kids. It felt like a peaceful escape in the heart of the city, and I found myself longing to return! (✿◡‿◡)
Doom scrolling and building habits
I’m trying to build the habit of consuming less content and creating more content. I turn to social media a lot, for both work and personal use, but while on there, I tend to find something that sparks immediate interest and I find myself doom scrolling.
Starting early on in the day
I didn’t think the day would come where I’d say that I loved being awake so early. My brain just kicks differently now and I’m able to get more done.
I'm Vlogging Again

I now have another “source” of motivation, to keep going - which is keep creating so I can fully resign and go full on with my own business. I would really like to reach a tipping point in my life where I can say that I can leave the “employed by someone else” life and run my own business or be self-employed
Went somewhere cold because it was hot
Went camping in the mountain because it was a hot, hot day and we wanted to be somewhere cold and inexpensive.
My 3rd 3 month old baby
My 3rd and youngest daughter turned 3 months and since I’ve already started with the monthly cake and photo post, I did so again this time around. The family and I went to a French cafe where we found a beautiful-looking chocolate cake and Macarons.
Dinosaurs and Sweets in Cebu
My husband and I constantly peg the question “𝗔𝘀𝗮 𝘁𝗮?” (Where do we go?) when we want to go out (since we always go out with the kids). While there are kid play areas that are open, it’s too costly to keep opting to keep choosing places like those. So where can a family with little kids go without having to spend so much?
Life Tip : Don't Delete Photos!
It’s not about vanity - it’s because memories are fleeting and more often than not, I was too critical of myself in the moment to think that maybe my older self would appreciate a photo of me; You know, to see my growth, the life I’ve lived, and be able to reflect how things are now versus how they’ve been.
Kids love to interact
So you’ve been at home for who knows how long and the entire family seems to have adjusted to “staying at home”, then you decide to go out and meet some relatives (safely) and the first thing that happens is the kids gravitating towards each other; Have you noticed?
KuTEAtop Milktea & Snack Bar | Milk Tea in Busay

Mother's Day 2021
Feels good to be able to eat out with the kids this time for Mother's day.
I miss eating out
It was a hearty lunch at 10 Dove Street in Chong Hua while waiting for my kids' doc appointment. Yummy Pork Pot Roast
A great app for new dads to be
I stumbled across this app that could help dads proactively learn what they can do to help! It’s a great app for new dads to have to help you be more proactive during your wife’s pregnancy and even after! I decided to do a walk through of the app so you can see what it is, how you can use it, and how useful it can be.
Should you pump your breastmilk before giving birth?
You probably plan to advocate breastfeeding and have prepared so much for it - and also wonder if you should start stocking up on breast milk and start pumping while waiting for your baby - but should you?
Doing chores as a mom
Doing chores as a mother means having a baby with you while you do everything.

Pregnancy Myths
Being pregnant is such a wonderful thing but it can also become very overwhelming; and while expectant mothers try their best to do everything to care for their pregnancy and the child within, we hear so much about do’s and don'ts while being pregnant. And a lot of these don’t even make sense!
My baby girl's first solid food
Another milestone reached! Eating solids for this baby girl.
Normalize every part of parenthood
Parent shamers and irrelevant people, especially if you've never been an "active" parent (IYKYK), who comment things that don't make anyone or any situation better, this is for you
Thanks, 2020
It’s the last day of 2020.
Given how the year has been, with ‘Rona and all, I have to say that it wasn’t all bad.
