Years ago, my former officemate told us that his son was going to get married in Basco, Batanes. Basco, Batanes?! What’s there? So, I do my research and I’m mesmerized. Rolling hills, mountains upon mountains overlooking the ocean, and scenic spots perfect for pictures. I had the opportunity to join a familiarization tour organized by PHILTOA a couple of weeks ago. My partner and I have been waiting for this trip for more than a year! Even for someone who has a travel agency, it's still … [Read more...]

Jolly Cow Fun Day

While waiting to leave, we met the other moms and kids who were so excited to go to our first stop, Art in Island in Cubao. This is not your usual museum. It has more than a hundred 3D paintings you can pose in front of and look like you're in a different dimension altogether. My bunso is a … [Read more...]
Mommy Notes: My Version of Hell Week
Finally! Hell week is over! Parang feeling ko I was the one who took the exam. I was so anxious for my little kuya this week coz we had our first taste of quarterly exams. I was confident my son could handle most subjects but worried about his AP/Fil. I couldn't help myself, I made sample exams complete with drawings during my lunch break at work. I used these along with the worksheets I downloaded from an online site. I never thought I would go as far as making exams but there was … [Read more...]
