Halloween Costume Party at Eastwood

. . . When a friend of mine invited us to join the Halloween costume party she’s organizing, I immediately told my son about it hoping he could be as excited as I was. After I showed him the poster and explained that some of my friends and their kids will also be there, he [...]

My Son, The Kid Blogger

. . When I started getting serious about blogging a few months ago, my son was fascinated that people I personally don’t even know leave messages or comments in my blog. He finds it even more amusing that people who live half a world away from us get to read my post. When I wrote [...]

I’m Also Into Photography

. . In school, we are encouraged to join clubs that we like. While I was in Grade 2, I joined the Cub Scout because I had no choice. All the clubs that I want were already filled. In Grade 3, I joined the Taekwondo Club because it was my favorite sport. But this year, [...]

Legally Kidnapped during the Halloween

. . Halloween is just around the corner. And I’m pretty sure, other Moms out there are probably busy getting ready the super hero, or fairy tale princess, or thriller costumes that their kids are going to wear. I’m not. I’m just not much of a fan of these Halloween parties. Sorry. So, when a [...]

Mom’s Birthday at Enchanted Kingdom

The Day I Hated Being a Parent

How to Make a Double Star

. . Since my son has started a fascination towards rubber band these days, I decided to teach him how to make a star and a double star. Oh, yes! He’s 10 and he still doesn’t know how to do that! Blame it to the PSPs and Internet of his generation, gone are the days [...]

Son Hates Camping

. . Camping is a travel adventure where you don’t sleep in a hotel. So, you have to have a tent. I went camping at Magalawa Island in Palauig, Zambales with my Mom and her officemates. There were also other kids, too, Gabi and Dani. I don’t like it. Camping is very hot. Because there [...]

No (DSWD) Permit, No Exit

. . What could be the worst thing that you can do, as a parent, when you’re out of the country and have asked somebody else, a relative or a guardian, to bring your child to you to wherever you are in this world? No DSWD permit. Uh oh! (Play music: dan-dan-dan-dannnn….) When my friends [...]

Travel Videos From Now On

    It’s my son’s 10th birthday today. As one of my gifts, I decided to edit the old videos I dug up from my hard drives and CDs. I originally wanted to come up with a travel video to celebrate his 10 years of travelling, but I realized I didn’t have that much footage [...]
