My new home

my decision not to fight dazed me for a few days, causing me to be a little unfocused and disoriented. it's like something big hit my head and now i'm confused. am i really making good decisions here? or at least making the right ones? these mixed emotions now make me sad. to the point of giving up.

Our faculty R&R in Caramoan last April 19 got cancelled a few days before our scheduled trip. It was not really a total loss for me ‘cause that’s the same date my balikbayan cousin would treat us to a swimming party in Pansol, Laguna. Just a few of the Laput FamBam We statyed in a private house with 2 pools, one for adults and one for kids. It also has a bahay kubo, 4 air-conditioned bedrooms with bath, a kitchen with grill, 2 toilets, a shower room and of course a karaoke. Mi Familia The Laput FamBam is never a boring crowd. Everybody enjoyed kuya Biboy’s grilled tilapia, bangus and liempo with ensaladang talong. My sisters and my hubbylents had fun mingling with my cousins Michael and Philip. I enjoyed the kwentuhan with my female mommy cousins who shared tips on how to be the best mommy and wife to my Tala and Tal.   We laughed, shared a little bit of tsismis and bonded the whole day. Tala with kuya Terence Well, as you can see in the pictures. My big ...

Zambales, one of the richest places here in the Philippines. Rich in people, culture, agri products and of course the beaches. Though they have black sand beaches, its texture is soft and soothing. We stayed in our friends resort there and it is the best resort in Zambales since some celebrities would come there for their R&R. Here are the pictures. Enjoy! getting sun-kissed my hubbylents cooling down mr. & mrs. castro getting sun kissed again one perfect sunset the boys beach selfie kids at play new found friends sun kissed selfie

To see a burning house a few meters away from your home is scary. This is one experience I will never forget. It happened one Tuesday night, April 7, 2015 My baby Tala and I went down to prepare her milk because it was ten minutes to nine. At that time I saw no burning flames yet.When we went back upstairs to our room that's when I saw  the reflection of the flames from the window of our neighbor four houses away. I yelled to my husband and he immediately went up and  we both shouted "SUNOG!" "SUNOG!"  My baby Tala started saying Oh my God! Oh my God! and "mommy karga!" Our neighbor's house was already burning! My adrenaline did not work because I remained calm. I grabbed my knapsack with all the important documents in it and carried Tala. Before leaving our room, I searched for other things to bring. I also grabbed my bags with essentials in it. We went straight to our ninang's house which was four houses away. After I handed my baby T...

My husband surprised me with a dinner date on a school night. Casa Renato is the name of the restaurant near our school and home. I fell in love with the place 'cause its not too big and its very cozy and homey. I feel more comfortable in restaurants that have the im-like-at-home ambiance. The food is not pricey but the quality is great same with the quantity.

It was the first day of exams for the third quarter and my husband and I would like a new and refreshing place to have our lunch. I suggested we have it at this new restaurant in Don Antonio called Verena's Cafe.  The first time I saw the place I feel in love with it. I was so happy there's a place near our workplace that serve's good Filipino dishes. We ordered their calderetang kambing and crab rice. Sorry there are no pictures of the food 'cause the first thing we did after they served it was to pray then eat! Their fresh juices are refreshing and plenty. I love going back to this place. It's homey and the prices are just right.  photo grabbed from their facebook page
