Back in April, my family took a 10-day break in Baguio. But somehow the trip took a wrong turn when, one by one, my family (my kids, nephew, nieces, sister, dad) began getting sick with what appeared to be gastroenteritis. I believe it was food- or water-borne.
I had so many plans, so many places in [...]

Breakfast this morning. Breakfast buddy and I have been meeting for breakfast since December rolled in. Actually, we’re gym buddies, but because we both “froze” our gym accounts this month (my silly excuse is “I’m gonna be soooo busy.” Yeah, right), we have nowhere to go to after [...]
Last Friday, Christmas party season officially started for me.
It was a get-together with gym buddies/school mom-friends/birthday bash in one. I rarely drink when I am out with friends. That’s because I drive myself, and I prefer to get home in one piece, thank you.
But last Friday, I wanted to “unwind”. So I asked my husband [...]
The other exciting personal pursuit I talked about in my previous post is The Filipino Mom Blog. And it is finally online!

Two weeks ago, I decided to join my gym buddies, who have been chiding me to go out with them for the longest time.

We’re a group of mommy bloggers who met online, and discovered that we have one other common denominator (aside from blogging) – eating!
For me, eating out with great friends is a nice way of de-stressing, detaching myself momentarily from the cares of mommy-hood. Planning this particular adventure actually [...]
I’ve worked in Makati City before, and I know that parking fees are really expensive there. Given the scarcity of space, high number of vehicles, and premium price of land in Makati, the cost of parking is justifiable.
But how about when one gets charged Php100 for 5-hour outdoor parking in Quezon City? Is that justifiable?

Well, it wasn’t exactly just a mommy picnic, because we most of us had kids in tow. (Mine were in full attendance!) Since it has been raining for several days prior to the picnic, I was worried we might be rained out. But I woke up that Friday morning to a beautiful sunny day!
Seven mommies. [...]
That’s right! It seems this movie-loving mom has been deprived of cinema trips for too long.
Movie No. 1 – I am not particularly proud to announce I that I went to see it. It was the fault of my gym buddies. They were bored. They wanted to see a movie instead of working [...]
(This post slept on draft mode for a month. But better late than later – wisdom I got from Toni who has been saying it since high school. )

September 6th marks the first time I wrote an entry for this blog. One year ago, inspired by Vlado&Toni, I began the iMoM blog over [...]
