Stop the Time!!!

in Random Prattles by

There’s really no point to this post except to lament the end of the long Christmas break. Tomorrow the kids will start school again and I will go back to work-related craziness. How fast time flew! I will surely miss playing with Baby Yna and taking siestas with all four kids. Still, I’m happy and grateful that I have work to get back to. With the unemployment rate in the Philippines as high as it is, I’m blessed to not be part of the unemployment statistics. While I could use and appreciate a higher salary, I’m content that I at…

The Birth of a Baker

in Oven Fresh by

I have always been interested in baking, but it wasn’t until December 2013 that I finally started doing it because my husband was so against it. He is usually supportive of my hobbies. He lets me do the things that I enjoy because he believes that “a happy wife means a happy life.” It’s just that he has seen me many times go crazy over a new hobby only to lose interest in it a few months after. So he drew the line because he cannot allow me to invest in expensive baking tools that may just end up in…

A Failure Yet Again

in Blogging Matters by

This I can easily admit: I really suck at blogging. Judging from this blog’s performance in the past year, it’s not a stretch at all to say that I’m a crappy blogger. Four posts in a year? Yeah, pretty pathetic! It’s not that nothing much is happening in my life, because there’s so many I’m already breathless just thinking of the things I need to do. I have so many things running in my mind even I can’t catch up. The thing is, I have very short attention span and really bad memory. Whenever I think of something to write…

Bring It On, 2015

in Random Prattles by

Happy New Year, everyone! Despite having to endure the hardships and loneliness of being a single parent while waiting for my husband to finish his contract in Ethiopia, the past year had been generally good for me and my family. So many things have happened – both good and bad – but I will only write about two that impacted my family. First, I am extremely grateful that none of my kids had been hospitalized. Thank God for that! I was especially worried for my eldest daughter because she has very weak lungs. While each kid did see their pediatrician…

Ch..Ch..Cheese Cupcakes

in Recipes by

This one is long overdue and I cannot apologize enough for the delay. (Still, sorry Jo! 🙁 ) If you’re anything like me, then you love cheese. Like A LOT! I can’t get enough of it, which is weird since I am lactose intolerant and I should not be able to eat cheese without getting sick. But yeah, I can and that makes me really happy. [I would share more about this in later posts.] Anyway, I had anticipated that the long week due to the observance of the Lenten Season would have me soooo bored so I had planned…

Struggling with Resentment

in Planet Motherhood by

It’s been five months since my husband left us to work in Ethiopia and while the pain of separation had slowly numbed, I find myself struggle with something else: my feelings of resentment. I know I’m not the first nor the last nor the only one whose significant other has “abandoned” the Family ship to look for dry land and a greener pasture. I know I’m not the first nor the last nor the only wife and mother who has to juggle children and work. Many had been through that hell and survived. My own dear mother among them. And…

That Color Purple: Ube Cupcakes

in Recipes by

I should be inserting something witty, funny, inspirational here before the recipe but I don’t have time to spare right now. Well, not that I have it in me to be witty, funny or inspirational but a friend is waiting for me to post this thing (Hi, Jo! :D). Truth be told, I’m not really sure if I will edit this once published. Chalk it up to motherhood, solo parenting, and four kids. There’s just so many things to do and not enough time in a day. I know, me and my excuses 😛 So I suggest you don’t hold…

New Year, New Blog

in Blogging Matters/Random Prattles by

Hi! Thank you so much for dropping by. Since this is a new blog, your visit means a lot. I decided to start 2014 with a new blog. I already “maintain” a blog, My Kimcheed Life, but I decided to start a another one to chronicle the biggest of changes in my and my children’s lives. The past year had been tumultuous (to say the least) for my family and hometown. Despite not having any intention to relive all of those or to dwell on them further, I do feel the need for a platform where I can express how…
