Shaynna was barely two months old when I entrusted her under the care of my mother and cousin. I was hoping that after a few months, I would be able to take her with me. Financially, it was impossible. Now, it still is. I am a struggling single mom, and at the same time supporting [...]
29 days to Christmas! 29 days more then I’ll be on a plane home! I’m so excited already. I look forward to seeing my little girl again. I already have lots of things in mind that we’ll do together, one of them is of course, photo-shoots! I don’t have an SLR but I just love [...]
Shaynna’s school is having an activity where they would portray what they want to become when they grow up. They have to dress up for that profession and memorize a short speech on why they chose it. Her first choice was to become a teacher. But as the presentation date draws near, she changed her [...]
My Shaynna is turning 7 tomorrow. I will be a mother of a 7-year old! OMG! Time flies by really fast. Unfortunately, I will not be with her on this special day (again). It really breaks my heart not to be there. Anyway, before I succumb to loneliness, this reminds me of the task I [...]
I mentioned in one of my posts that after my short trip to Portugal, I just dropped by for a few hours in my place here in Singapore, then took a flight to Cebu and met up with Shaynna, my mother and sister, to attend a friend’s wedding. It was Shaynna’s first time to stay [...]
Shaynna is finally off to primary school! I wish I were there on her first day at school. I had to repeatedly give my mother a call to take photos. I’m so proud of my little girl. It must be hard for her to wake up so early in the morning. Classes start at 7:30AM [...]
Before June ends, I want to post something that has a wedding in it. Oh how I wish it were my wedding, but it wasn’t! Also, the wedding didn’t happen just a few days ago but in February! On the day when I came back from my business trip in Portugal, I had to leave [...]
Shaynna will be in primary school next week. I’m quite amazed by the pace of education these days. I didn’t go through kindergarten and started learning to read and write in primary school. But Shaynna at 6 can now read and write. She even had to pass the entrance exam to this primary school. How [...]
My daughter Shaynna looks so small standing in front of Anubis (if I’m not mistaken), at the Universal Studios here in Singapore.
What do you usually do to welcome the New Year? I did the “jumping so that you would get taller” until I was 23 years old. I usually have lots coins in my pocket. But, I don’t wear polka dots. It would be such a waste of money because I’m pretty sure I won’t wear [...]
Shaynna and her shadow, giving me an “astig” pose at the Universal Studios Singapore.
Last Christmas, I went home a week before Christmas. No, no, no. My wallet was not ready for Christmas and vacation. I just wanted to see my little girl getting on the stage during their Christmas Program. One of the good things she got from her school is a boost in self-confidence. Every student, from [...]
