Last night, in the bedroom. Kids were winding down. I was getting my dose of Bones. The Christmas episode of Season 1 was on. It was quite an emotional episode, and if you knew me, you’d expect me to be crying. Of course.
This was the episode where the whole team had to be quarantined in [...]
And checking it twice…
thrice…
four times…
One afternoon, as soon as we arrived at home from school, V got one of her old notebooks and began scribbling some stuff. I really wasn’t paying attention.
All through the evening, she kept going back to her scribbles. I got curious, of course. So nosy iMom decided to check it out…
This [...]
VGood’s and MagNate’s birthdays are only a week apart. In the past two years, we’ve been celebrating the double birthdays with out-of-town trips. Incidentally, both were at Subic (well yes, it’s one of our fave places).
This year, due to time and budget constraints, their birthdays were celebrated simply with the ceremonial birthday candle blowing and [...]

This is the pointed question that I got from VGood this afternoon -
V: Mom, are you really blogging your way to weight loss??? (with dramatic emphasis on “weight loss”)
iMom: Yes, I think so. Why?
V (quietly, but with conviction): Liar.
iMom (almost furious): Huh?? What did you say??!??
V: How can you be losing weight when you’re sitting [...]
“What is emo?”
This question was posed by my 7-year old daughter VGood to a classmate.
Classmate answered V’s question with a drawing -
“Emo girl/boy that always wear[s] black dress and makeup and like a punk or always drunk.”
I cracked up when I saw this yesterday while fixing V’s school bag. Kids come up with the most [...]
Nakapag-ipon na ulit ako ng V Quips, so here’s another installment.

Last month, my dad’s US-based older brother and his wife came to visit the Philippines. Dad, Uncle B and Auntie P spent one whole afternoon catching up on each other at a gas station that happened to be near my kids’ school. Someone thought it [...]
Today’s photohunt theme is together.
I’ve been looking for an opportunity to post this photo, and today’s theme couldn’t be more perfect. My daughter, iPatch, was probably on fun-mode when she snapped this:
My kids are getting wittier, their humor surprises me sometimes.
The other day, Patch must have noticed the greater time I spent offline than on:
Patch: Ma, bakit di ka na masyadong nag-cocomputer?
iMom: Ummm. Wala, pagod lang ako lately. At nakakatamad din.
Patch (wide-eyed): Who are you?? And what have you done to the Computer Addict??
Very funny! I [...]
VGood is at it again.
But instead of dishing out her witty quips, she’s writing them down. Of course, her white board marker is new – she’s loving it right now. So much so, she’d rather scribble her thoughts.
The other day, I called her into the computer room so we can study together. She must have [...]
The other day I received a letter from my two girls.
The letter, written in 3 pages torn out of a small notebook and folded into a roughly done envelop, read:
