Every year, my husband, kids and I always spend Christmas in my hometown, Baguio City.
This year, most of my family were present – 5 out of 6 siblings plus our husbands and children. Total headcount? I’ve lost track, but for sure my fingers and toes are not enough.

After being postponed twice due to hub’s busy schedule, the Subic weekend (to celebrate Nate’s and VGood’s birthdays, and our anniversary) finally happened.
It was a lovely, sunny day to travel. The skies were glorious-blue.
We took the SCTEx (Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway), dubbed as the longest expressway in the country. The SCTEx did not fail to impress hub [...]
Amid tons of books, notes to study and tests to prepare for (tell me again: Where has the fun gone in schooling???), a day is never dull with V’s quips!

Last week, VGood and I were studying for a Filipino recitation test. The topic was introduction of self in the Filipino language. In her barok Am-girlish [...]
