a journey into the chaotic world of mommyhood
Today is fathers’ day. Before anything else, let me greet all fathers out there a Happy Fathers’ Day. I know your children are honored to have you as their father and wouldn’t trade you for anyone else. May you continue to be the best father that you ought to be to your children.
Like I said, today is fathers’ day. It used to be a fun occasion for me, except for two years now, it has become a bittersweet day for two reasons:
In today’s fast paced world of living, we tend to spend too much and live to little. Everyone’s too stressed and are buried in debt. It’s about time to change that mindset. We need to start finding the balance between living healthy and wealthy at the same time.

Celebrity speakers, entrepreneurs and bloggers will be there to share their insights and inspire attendees. Two sessions are available: AM session is for young couples with […]

I have been going through Z’s photos that I’ve posted in Facebook and the photos that I was able to recover and I couldn’t just help but think every single time that time has been going by so fast. It only seems like yesterday (or probably a week ago, if you may) when I was rubbing my swollen tummy trying to wake him up so I could feel him kick and let me know that he’s listening to my babbles. In what seems like a blink of an eye, my swollen, very pregnant tummy became flat once again, and my little big baby […]
Managing finances and budgeting my income has always been a struggle for me. I am an impulsive buyer when the mood strikes, especially when I think I have the funds for it. Most of the time, I end up spending way more that the allotted amount. I have always shrugged it off though, thinking that I could make up for it on the next pay day. However, when I had my son, I realized that I have not really prepared for him financially. I was having the same line of thought – that I can always make up for it […]
I have been interested in playing in the stock market for the longest time but for some reason, I could never get the necessary information and the know-how to do it. I started with VULs and mutual funds but somehow, it was not giving me the satisfaction that I was looking for which, I think, only the “big game” would give me. And that is playing in the stock market. Then last month, I got a glimmer of light in still getting a chance to start playing in the big field when I called my Mom last month and she […]
*Disclaimer: this is an unsponsored post. I do use Nivea products every now and then. I actually like the brand especially their moisturizing cream and their lip balms. (I’m a sucker for lip balms but I don’t care much about lipsticks). Nivea had a big sale from May 1 and will end tomorrow (technically today on this side of the world), May 9. I didn’t have plans of purchasing any until my sister texted me if I could buy her lip balms. My facebook newsfeed was filled with photos of “hoarded” Nivea products and I thought maybe I should buy […]
LOL! It’s the first thing that came to mind, that title. Haha! So I am now typing this post while sitting on my new second-hand sofa bed that I bought from my cousin (still haven’t paid it though). I am not yet done with all the unpacking, because until now, I am in awe at how much stuff I have accumulated over the years. I forgot to take a photo of all my stuff stashed inside the truck before they closed it. But to say that it was full was an understatement. I used to live in a very tiny […]
Today marks the end of my 5 year stay in this residence. As mentioned before, this tiny, shoebox-sized but quite became a cozy place has been home for the last 5 years. Quite a lot of memories I have here, too. Oh well. Yeah, I am quite sentimental now. I mean, what is 5 years, right? Well, for me, 5 years is a long time. So there. It’s the longest time that I’ve stayed in one place in the big metro. I usually stay for 2 years at the maximum, you know. All things are packed and ready to go […]
I have been quite busy with the preparation for my move to my new residence. I just signed the contract with the unit owner’s representative last Friday (the unit owner is overseas so he assigned his brother as a representative). The down payment (1 month advance, 2 months deposit) plus the 11 post-dated checks’ total almost stopped my heart. Geez! It can already be a down payment for my own condominium unit! I know, I know. I should have just gotten my own. But it is not that easy. I really don’t have the funds (and I mean cold cash) for an […]
