the husband (& wife) tag

Got this cute tag from Mai. I had fun answering this. Hehe!
1. How long did you date?
Hmmm, if my memory serves me right, our first date was a movie at SM North sometime February 2000. Nope, it wasn’t a valentine date. We’re both not valentine people. Grabe, I can’t even remember the title of the [...]

on growing

Posted on April 29, 2008 - Filed Under On Me, Ramblings, Teaching | Leave a Comment

I’m so amazed with how fast children grow. Before I experienced this with Mateo, I witnessed this with my students. On my first year of teaching, I was the math teacher for the grade four class. They were a bunch of boisterous, gregarious kids. Some of them were so small, they look like first graders. [...]

yaya-less once again

Once again, Mateo’s yaya went home. This time though, she told us way ahead of time that she wants to visit her mom in the province. Initially, she told me she’ll be back after two weeks but after several days, she told me that she’s not sure if she’ll be coming back. It would have [...]

keeping mateo busy

Mateo is such a handful lately. He could barely sit still for ten minutes. It’s such a hassle now to bring him whenever we eat out because he could make such a ruckus. He’d cry with such vigor, worthy of Bantay-Bata. He has a lot of toys but he’ll be interested in them for only [...]

late bloomer

Posted on April 15, 2008 - Filed Under On Me, Ramblings | 2 Comments

I’ve always been a no-make-up kind of girl. My usual routine is to wash my face, moisturize, put on face powder, a quick dab of blush and lipgloss then I’m ready to go. During the start of March however, I discovered mineral make-up. One of the things that I don’t like about make-up is its [...]

weekend cleaning

Posted on April 13, 2008 - Filed Under Money Matters, On Me, Ramblings | 4 Comments

I love weekends. We used to visit our parents in Quezon City during the weekends and it provides a break for Ramil and me. Lately though, we’ve taken to staying in our house to cut down on our gas expenses. We never realized that it will also be just as fun and relaxing. It’s still [...]

multiply shopping

The past few days, I’ve been a regular visitor of several multiply accounts. At first, my goal was to look for a birthday gift for my dear husband. I planned on giving him a new bottle of his usual perfume and there are some multiply sites who sell authentic perfumes at almost half the [...]

our plans for our millions

Posted on April 9, 2008 - Filed Under Money Matters, On Me, Ramblings, Ramil | Leave a Comment

Ramil and I would sometimes try our luck with the lottery. Most of the time, we’d get enticed whenever the prize money is really big already. Just a few weeks ago, we decided to try our luck on a 200 million prize. It was funny that we were already planning what to do with our [...]

mateo mall time

Posted on April 8, 2008 - Filed Under Mateo, On Me, Ramblings, Ramil | Leave a Comment

Since its summer and there’s no work for teachers like Ramil and me, we find ourselves heading for the mall these days. It’s funny because once we get there, we often just walk around and window-shop. Of course, Mateo would often tag-along and we’d always end up wishing we left him at home. Hehe! Yesterday, [...]

fitness and shoes

Posted on April 8, 2008 - Filed Under On Me, Ramblings | 2 Comments

Almost 15 months after I gave birth and I still have some left over post-pregnancy tummy. Although I’m back to my old weight, I’m still dying to trim my middle area. Unfortunately, I’ve come to believe that I will never lose them unless I starve myself or I adopt a good exercise routine. Ramil and [...]
