After taking the FIL's weekly allowance, the hubby and I thought we'd get a light fill before heading to the wake. Pasta came to mind, but the food place is a bit farther away, so we decided to give the

Saying 'hello' to a lovely Monday in DD. It feels like we've been away for weeks, even though we've only been in the other town for 3 days. It seems we have become so attached to this place more than we

Magandang buhay💚 A wee teddy with a Santa hat peeking out of a holiday stocking is the only early Christmas decor we have in DD. It has been hanging on the shelf wall for months now, waiting for some

Waking up to the weekend in BC. We were home late last night. We might have stayed until 3 am, but Dad was already tired and sleepy (we have been at Kuya T's wake early in the day), so we left just before

We left BC early for the wedding, and he stayed mostly curled up in his car seat (bed) for the whole ride (3.75 hours), probably because the windows were closed, as it was breezy and cold that morning.

We visited him on Sunday. He was obviously in pain, but still tried to keep a happy face, teasing us (Dad, another cousin's husband, and me) to say something when we quietly approached him on his sickbed.

Gorgeous day, lovely sky. They were to attend another wake. "We'll have to walk," their companion said, so they left their car by the roadside. What she didn't expect was that they would go down

A relative on Dad's side of the family fell critically ill all of a sudden. My sister visited him at the hospital last weekend and shared that he had undergone multiple therapeutic thoracenteses (liquid

Losing something we value is difficult, especially when we poured our heart into it. Almost always, the body gets tense, the stomach tightens, and the mind runs wild, screaming. It's like a door slammed

The LilGuy and I ended up staying instead of joining the hubby and my brother for a trip half an hour's drive from the city center (3.5 hours from here) for the final monumentation (line marking) of a

Magandang buhay💛 It's a bright weekend, and gentle silence fills the air. We usually hear murmurs of the neighbors' kids walking by each morning, but not today. There is no school after all. Surprisingly,

"Could you make dinner tonight? I have already sliced the pork; veggies are washed and drained too," I proposed to the hubby yesterday evening. I had missed his cooking during our stay in BC.

My plan for a lazy Wednesday turned out differently, as it was a bit productive. It was mostly hot, but I spent most of it in the shade. We harvested the leafy lettuce (romaine) in the morning even though

Magandang buhay💚 It's the new week, yay! Excited much to how the day unfolds (drafting this early in the morning, thanks to the LilGuy who woke me up from a bad dream at 4 am, licking my face—his way

My plan to hit the sack early last night got derailed when I noticed my old Ace hard-shell suitcase, which I'd left unopened for years because I had forgotten the combination key (code). I suddenly felt

Our Yongi had fun in the yard yesterday afternoon. It got warmer, so I decided to start clearing the intruders (weeds/grass) in our little garden. He was watching from the door at first, then I let him

Oh la la, it's Fri-Yay! We welcomed the new month here in BC. Yesterday was hectic, but it went well. It rained at 5 in the evening, keeping the air cool after a really hot day. Thunder roared too, like

Welcoming the new week in DD with lovely weather—blue skies and generous sunshine. No patches of white clouds up there, so it appears that we will have a really bright Monday. Anyhow, a first cousin is

Magandang buhay💚 The chikka time with Dad stretched until dinner. It's a bit funny that as if we had been away for so long when we were here on the 14th. Our chatty old man never runs out of stories to
