A quote from St. Augustine I once encountered years ago. Now, as I read it again, I understand life.

For years, I have been working my feet into the slippery path or the rocky road and some just paved walk. I have encountered and felt the addicting pain as well as the joy of the friction of pebbles against my feet. There were times though that I had wished happiness would never stop as I enjoy the smooth road.

That’s life. Sometimes it hurts. Sometimes it does not. The good thing though is I tried to reach the finish line of each path and continue to the next level. Good thing, despite fear to travel or face a new chapter, I still tried to walk because otherwise, I will certainly miss a lot.

I have been to many pages of my own dear life. And I am still here but embracing a new chapter of my new travel —

I left the corporate world to nurture the then small darling growing inside my tummy and be a full-time mom to my three other boys. Now in the comforts of our messy small abode – but definitely blessed and happier one – I have decided to make another change and relaunch my blog.

This is my life. This is my travel story. About to be unfolded in a new page.

We are back at the small house after spending 45 days at Momi’s place. And we need some real cleaning to do.

I ask the second son to look after our baby while firstborn and I tidy our room and change bedsheets.

From the other room, I could hear second son. “Who is more handsome, kuya Firstborn or me? Blink once if Kuya and twice if your Kuya Second son.”

After a minute, I then heard second son’s loud wail. “Haha! It’s me!” I assume our baby blinked twice.

They say the bond between a lactating mother and her child is so strong that the baby could easily feel when his mom is not around. He seems not to want to be separated from his mama, his main source of food and comfort.

Just like this morning, you wailed uncontrollably when I told you to give me a few minutes so I could get our laundry. That made me rush back to your side. You do not want to stay in your rocker nor play with your blue elephant. So I settled you beside the clothes I have folded and you just sat there- contented and smiling.
