I was really disappointed with Jollibee for what happened at Shaynna’s school. But when we arrived at Jollibee’s activity area 30 minutes earlier, everything had already been setup. T prepared a birthday party for Shaynna at Jollibee. This time, Shaynna’s guests are her cousins and soem children from the neighborhood. For some of these children, [...]
I was so much a grandma’s girl before going to highschol. I adored my Lola (grandma) Iyang that I often went with her to church, to her choir practice, and even when she sells those Filipino delicacies she used to cook. As much as I love my Lola Iyang, I love her older sister as [...]
October 12 was a school day but it was hard to invite Shaynna’s classmates for a birthday party. So I decided to bring in snacks to school. A week before, I have asked my mother to make an advance order of Kiddie Meals from Jollibee and have it delivered to Shaynna’s school at 2:30PM. They [...]
If my mother and my younger sister were staying with me, I would have gained a lot of weight already and would have taken into consideration using one of those weight loss supplements. My family loves to eat. Yes, there’s nothing wrong with it, unless junk food is what they often dig into. I really [...]
There’s no way I’m going to post indecent photos here! Anyway, since Shaynna turned 3 years old, she had never slept beside me each time I go home. Yes, it hurt A LOT! But I could not blame her. I just tried all my might to set aside the pain and enjoy each single moment [...]
During my vacation last week, I often fetched Shaynna from school. To get there, I have to pass by my highschool “alma mater”. That school sure did change a lot. The single-level classrooms have been replaced with a huge multi-storey, sophisticated building. A waiting area has been added to the simple school gate. But the [...]
Thanks to all who drop by despite my inactivity in this blog. I went home to the Philippines last week for my Shaynna’s 5th birthday (by the way, thanks for the greetings). Now, I’m back here in Singapore. One thing’s for sure: a week with Shaynna and my family is really short and I want [...]
My daughter, Shaynna is turning five on Monday. When asked what she wanted for her birthday? The whole family, some balloons and a layer of cake. As a girl, she added she wanted a tiara with flowers on it. I can’t believe that I’ll have a five-year-old soon! And finally, for the first time, I’ll [...]
Before I came to Singapore, I thought electronic stuff are cheaper in Japan. Surprisingly, after visiting some electronics stores here in Singapore, I was proven wrong. Famous LCD TV brands are often sold at half the original price that it is so tempting to indulge in one. That is why many Filipinos buy LCD TV [...]
A few weeks ago, our team leader approached a teammate and me and asked what physical “features” of a work laptop we prefer. I tried using one of the company’s 12-inch notebooks. It was very light but it gave me a headache because of the small screen. So I said I prefer a notebook with [...]
My art classes in primary school and highschool required us to make holiday cards for people dear to us. I usually made one each for my papa and mama. Papa was still working abroad at that time and I unceasingly followed my mother around until she mails it to papa. I also often sent hand-made [...]
I blame my cellphone camera again for the poor photo below… Anyway, the steel structures above are for the Reverse Bungee and Extreme Swing by the Singapore River, close to Clark Quay. Here’s a closer look at the Extreme Swing: Would you dare try getting on those things? I never would. Even roller coasters scare [...]
