While almost everyone was on a vacation for the Holy Week, my family and I decided to just have a nice, quiet, and restful time staying at home. Because there was no school or work for the week-long holiday, we thought it would be a good opportunity for us to enjoy some fun activities indoors …
Can you believe that January is already done?! How was the first month of the year for you? If you ask me, I treated January as a ‘trial period.’ I achieved some goals and failed at accomplishing some. And for me, that’s totally okay because I know have the rest of the year to keep …
New Year’s Resolutions: practical or pointless? I wrote down all the things that I hope to achieve for 2022, but I’ve stopped calling them ‘resolutions.’ Somehow, I just find the word too rigid. Sure, I’d like to crush my goals for this year, but I also want to leave a little room for flexibility and …
After being in home quarantine for 3 weeks now, I am happy to say that we – my family and I – are still okay. Some days, we drive one another crazy, and some days, we remember how lucky we are to be stuck with one another. We are still adjusting to our new reality, …

One thing’s for sure: when that time comes, you don’t want to be frazzled and stressed out because you …
My aunt asked me a few days before my birthday, “How old will you be this year?” Without flinching, I proudly said “Thirty three!” My cousin-in-law laughed and said, “You’re too honest! You should have said twenty seven!” (I could have said 8.25, actually. The advantages of being a leap year baby!) I was getting …
Most people finish writing their New Year’s Resolutions even BEFORE the New Year arrives, but me? I’m a little behind on that. But what I DID figure out early on was my ONE WORD.
