Hi, guys! I just want to announce that I moved to another platform. Kindly check it out.

If I could write everything I feel, I would. But then, I'm not good in expressing my feelings even my thoughts.

I get anxious for I don't want to be judged nor misunderstood. So I will keep it all inside until I feel a little good.

When 4 Becomes 2

02.20.2020

Some good things never last, they say. I did not see it coming and never did it cross my mind. It has been two days since I learned that Yook Sungjae and Lee Sang Yoon are leaving my favorite variety show, Master in the House. I am still in denial that I am messaging them in their social media accounts asking for confirmation even if I know that they will not respond.

I discovered the show because I am a huge fan of Lee Sang Yoon. As time goes by, I learned to love the three others namely Se Hyeong, Seung Gi and Sungjae. Their personalities are different, they have their own style. I remember when their master, actress Shin Aera, asked them to answer a personality test and the results are dissimilar from each other. I think that what's make the show perfect, they jive through diversities.

I learned so much from this show. Every master has shared some wisdom and facts of life. I love seeing the four of them together. As the show went by, I can see their genuine friendship and their love for each other.

Now that the two of them are leaving, I know it will never be the same. If it's hard for us fans to accept it, I am sure it will be harder for them. But life goes on, whatever their reason for departing, I respect them and I will still support them. I will always cherish those times when I felt sad and the four of them were my go-to people. I immersed myself so much that I felt like I was there, part of the show.

For now, it is hard for me to move on but I know someday I will be able to accept it especially if I see them succeed in their respective fields.

Random Conversation With My Kids

01.18.2020

Earlier this morning, my son Jared reminded her sister Jaelah that it is only 2 days until her birthday. Jaelah was so happy that she requested something.

(non-verbatim)

Jaelah: Mommy, I want to have a party at Jollibee like Kuya (Jared).

I was surprised. I didn’t know that she wanted to have a party because she always tell me that she only wants toys. And honestly, we only planned to celebrate it intimately. The only reason why Kuya had his birthday celebrated at Jollibee is that it was his 7th.

Me: But mommy don’t have money yet.

Jared: I can give you mine, Mommy.

I gave him a wallet with small bills because sometimes he’s still hungry at school even if I packed a lot of food for him. He does not need to ask money from his teacher just in case he wants to buy in the canteen.

Me: But it’s for you. I gave it to you so that you can buy in the canteen.

Jared: It’s okay, Mommy. I don’t need it.

*sigh* Sometimes, I feel like I’m a failure in raising my kids. But acts like this makes me want to believe that I’m doing a great job. My kids may not excel academically, they may not be active physically, it is okay with me—as long as they are good people. Good people but not kind because kind people tends to get abused a lot of times. Good people that knows how to prioritize and gauge whether it is worth helping others or not. Because in this world where negativity and badness is rampant, it’s better to equip my children with a humble heart and a strategic mind.

Baby #3

01.09.2020

I've been meaning to tell the world about you. I feel like our family is complete now that you arrived. Please hold on tight inside mommy's tummy. You are too precious that your ate and kuya are excited to meet you. They've been tirelessly talking about you. I will not be surprised if you will recognize them once you came out of this world, for they always talk to you even if you're inside my womb. We can't contain how much we love you! We already gave you a nickname and we hope you'll like it, Jojo!

The End of the Fuxxing World

11.19.2019

Today, we fetched Kuya from school. It was raining so we walked extra careful. Thankfully, we arrived home safe. I also finished 2 seasons of The End of The Fuxxing World. I’ll just screencap and post my thoughts about it for I already tweeted it. It’s getting colder and colder here but I’m not complaining. I love the cold weather as I sleep better.

One Fine Wednesday

11.06.2019

Today, we went to Batha to get my husband’s eyes checked. He’s complaining of blurring of vision and he also needs glasses for his new designated department at work. We’re thankful that we have an insurance provider. We will only pay about 1/5 of the total amount. We bought our favorite shawarma from Baba Bazil on our way home. It’s so delicious and we partnered it with orange juice.

Oh! I almost forgot. I successfully made some veggie balls! It’s my first time to try cooking it. I merged two recipes and I didn’t expect it to be near perfect! I also love the fish ball sauce that I made! Finally found the best fish ball sauce recipe! ❤️

Master in the House

11.05.2019

Today, I watched Master in the House. That’s my current favorite variety show from Korea. I am catching up with the episodes because I just finished episode 45 while the show is currently on it’s 94th episode. It runs on 2 episodes per week - more than 1 hour per episode. I was inspired by their guest on episodes 44-45, Ms. Kim Soo Mi. She talked about the sunset of her life. She’s more than 70 years old but she’s still groovy. I like her positive personality and she is not afraid to die. She had lost her close friend and many of her colleagues that’s why she realized that maybe it’s time for her to prepare death. She even asked Sang Yun, Sung Jae, Seung Gi and Se Hyeong to take pictures of her and she’ll pick what would be displayed on her funeral. She wrote many journals/diary when she was younger and she’s still doing it until now. Those episodes inspired me to live one day at a time. She always asked, “What if this is your last day?” “What food will you eat?” Those episodes made me realize that I should maximize my days and eat what I want. Charot not charot! I am also inspired to write more often so I can get back on the earlier days of my life.

I LOVE THE SHOW SO MUCH!!! It’s very entertaining yet inspiring!!! I would definitely recommend it to everyone! 💛
