Every negative, hurtful, challenging situation has a silver lining. Therein is the awakening of the soul.

the home alone challenge

Last quarter of 2018, my two little ones were confined at the hospital for gastroenteritis. We left our three teenage boys at home. Though my mother visited them from time to time and brought food, our sons managed to take care of themselves. They also took care of the house for about a week. I was the proudest mom at that time and even until now. That despite the challenging situation they were in, they managed to survive and discover their strength.

Would you believe that despite the convenience instant noodles bring, my boys preferred to cook pasta and eat spaghetti for dinner? They also cooked carbonara and tuna spaghetti. They even made their waffle dog and baked brownies and cupcakes.

The Admirable Value Super8 Gives to its Partners

More than from my family, I draw inspiration from the people I meet. This mother got the chance to be face to face again with Super8 CEO, Mr. Alvin Lim. Unlike our previous meeting, I now got the opportunity to know him better. More than admiring his business concept, I love how he puts value to his business partners- the sari-sari store owners, retailers, and moms like me.

His business partners all aim for value for money. Every centavo counts as each saved amount means additional resource for a new purchase or saving. Understanding and respecting this aim makes Mr. Alvin and his team conceptualize programs that would give more value to their clientele.

I am a Filipino, and I am proud to be one. As I have five boys under my care, I always aim to promote the good old Filipino values of love of country and family, integrity, and discipline. This mother believes that as she champions such campaign, these Filipino values will remain alive in the hearts of her boys. And given that her boys are believers and doers of the old Filipino values, they are effective influencers, too, to promote such traditional values.

In the world today, innovation and technology have drastically taken an essential part in people’s lives. For others who are so dependent on technology, life seems to be unimaginable and difficult without it.

Technology, for us, means progress. It is saving in time and bringing in more money. Work assignment submission and communication exchanges are faster especially with the internet. Now, I could work from home as I look after my two toddlers and also take care of my three teenage boys.

Captain Marvel and Today’s Everyday Women Heroes

April 9, 2019 · 5 Comments

My 13-year-old son and I recently attended the block screening of Captain Marvel. This mother enjoyed the movie as much as she appreciated the company of her young man.

Captain Marvel

Since my boy is a Marvel fan, he knows most of the Marvel Comics characters. He was there to guide his mom about Colonel Nicholas Joseph Fury and the S.H.I.E.L.D. organization. I commend his patience as he briefs his mom about other Marvel and Avengers trivia stories. And as we leave the cinema, he thanked me for tagging him along. He was grateful that I asked him to join me.

As we drive back home, I asked him his thoughts about the movie. How can he relate it in real life? His answer was too compelling and concise.

A strong relationship requires choosing to love each other even in those moments when you struggle to like each other.

About three weeks, I turned my back to my husband. He was somehow obliging some things I could not easily deliver given the two toddlers I always look after. Not to mention, I have three school boys to take care of and a house to manage. So instead of answering back, I went out and bought pandesal. It was an opportunity for me to walk, catch some fresh air, and brush off any negative thoughts.

Husband was quite in the mood to pick a fight. He messaged me, accusing me that I was running away from any confrontation. I messaged back that “I am not running. There is no reason to argue with you. I don’t want us to fight; thus I left.”

After a few hours, I got a message from him again.

I still don’t get it. A lot of times, my husband annoys me. His masungit way of talking to me provokes me. The way he leaves the bathroom door open irritates me. And yet, I still love to be beside him anytime, anywhere.

Break Free from #MalnutritionTraps with Pinggang Pinoy

Our two boys look thin. It has always been my concern as well as those around us that our two toddlers seem to be underweight. There are a number of times that they don’t like to eat much. But when they love the food on our table, I see to it that they finish what’s inside their plate, and often, add some more.

From my readings, I learned that the country has been facing the rise in the number of underweight and overweight Filipinos for more than 20 years. The World Health Organization (WHO) defined this phenomenon as the “Double Burden of Malnutrition.” Or it is also referred to as the “prevalence of both undernutrition and overweight in the same community, nation, or region.”

Spread Happiness Around You

We met a man whose face radiates with happiness. No single moment that we caught him not smiling. And his smile was so contagious that not sooner than later, everyone was beaming the same sweet grin.

He is Winston Maxino, a corporate executive diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis. Despite not feeling well that morning before his talk, he still managed to join Cebuana Lhuillier‘s Laughternoon event. The gathering was Cebuana Lhuillier’s way to commemorate the International Day of Happiness. Yes, there is such kind of occasion, and the leading and largest microfinance services in the Philippines celebrated it in one afternoon of laughter over good food and great company.

Reasons to Get Your Child a Pet

When I gave birth to our Firstborn 16 years ago, my husband got a Labrador. We named our pet Bernie. We loved watching Bernie and Ernie of Sesame Street before and so we merged their names, giving us Bernie.

Bernie lived for about eight years. He died of heat stroke one summer day and that devastated husband. He loved Bernie so much he and our Firstborn would walk around the neighborhood with our dog. Funny, too, that after our son’s vaccine, we would then bring our dog to a local veterinary and animal clinic for his regular checkup.
