Something For The Homebody: Gardening by Turning Dreams To Reality on Feb 21, 2012Gardening is one of Tibs's favorite hobbies (he's only got 2 anyways - the gadgets and that - lolz). Our neighbors would always compliment our landscaping and would express their awe when told that Tibs did it (with minimal help from the village gard...

Nanny Heartbreak by Turning Dreams To Reality on Feb 9, 2012Nanny problems are not new to me. I have actually gone through a lot since I got pregnant but I do not know why each time I come across another nanny problem, I always get all emotional and stressed out. As full-time working-out-of-the home pare...

Meme Delay by MushaMommy on May 30, 2010Not for lack of interest, but I’ve been late in joining or totally not being able to join my regular memes.   Maybe its because of my extended period once again or I’m more interested in watching  The Big Bang Theory show or I’m k...

TCM, finally by MushaMommy on May 26, 2010It was really disheartening when Ondoy submerged our cars last September.   Both our cars were relatively new, and after being careful in driving and the upkeep to maintain that ‘brand new car’ smell — bam, it was all gone in a jus...

My Aching Feet by MushaMommy on May 25, 2010Thank goodness I’m not driving today.   I was having mild menstruation cramps. I had a scheduled department meeting, hence, I had to dress the usual terno blazer (in this heat!) and slacks and heeled mules.   I’m ok  with this and its...

We’re Exercising! by MushaMommy on May 17, 2010Daddy has been wanting to buy this ever since he came home last July.  It was a favorite machine in the gym back in Pelangi.    I’ve been putting it off because of our financial constraints towards last quarter of 2009.   Now that all is ok...

Long and Hot… by MushaMommy on Apr 28, 2010Days ahead… I was mulling over how hot it would be at home, when our emails in the office buzzed with the no work announcement on Monday.   Labor Day falls on a Saturday and in accordance with the law rationalizing holidays,  the next working...

Firsts Week by MushaMommy on Apr 17, 2010This past week had been a week of many firsts for our family.  We were fortunate that it ended well but as with  any new undertaking, there were gliches and details to iron out that only time and consistency could solve. a) Daddy’s new job -...

Hotter by MushaMommy on Apr 5, 2010Despite full blast air conditioners all around us, by mid-day today, I’ve had about 5 glasses of cold water.  It was very hot.   When the office had a blackout,  Bro J and I went to the adjacent 711 and my Cornetto melted as soon as we step...
