"He is addicted to sweets and chocolates," my new sister-in-law was saying last week, referring to my brother. She was genuinely concerned about his quiet coughs, but he refuses to get checked

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

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

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

So it's midweek already. The hump day. The end of the month, too! One last quarter left in the year, whew! September seems to have flown by quickly. We are heading out today, taking the hour-and-a-half-long

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

Waking up to a bright morning in BC after coming home late at night from attending Kuya C's wake. We would probably spend the rest of the weekend here before heading back to DD, or things could change,

"Hmmm, so it's #FungiFriday, but I haven't seen any mushroom lately," that was just me talking to myself while preparing my bowl of cereal. The hubby stepped out of the house without a word.

Is it just me, or do others have a great sense of foreboding for the fate of the world and humanity? I wonder do people realise what is going to hit us all in the next few months because of the wars our

We were to have a lazier Thursday... But my cousin's wife called saying the delivery was arriving, so we drove out of DD before midday, left the car at a nephew's garage (the barricade at the entrance

Magandang buhay💚 We are back to DD after spending a night and most of yesterday in BC from the trip. We did take a detour to my FIL's place to drop some supplies. The LilGuy got bored waiting he made

"I'm starving," the hubby said and pulled over by Our Northern Coffee House yesterday evening. It was half-past 6, so it's just the perfect time for the last meal of the day. The place was quiet.

It's the end of the month and we are off to wonderland! Kidding😉 We drove out of DD early (6 am), and we are still on the road for an impromptu trip to the capital for some much-needed stuff, and to sort

It's the weekend, whew! Unlike most days (which were rainy), this morning is showing a bit of brightness, so yay! My soul is quite pleased. August is one hell of a wet month, but we are getting through

The new helper arrived yesterday. His friend fetched him from the other town on our motorbike. Our neighbor recommended him when he learned we were looking for workers. "He had to leave his current

Magandang buhay💚 Hump day morning dashed in quietly here in BC. Not a single bird chirping outside, nor a vehicle passing by. So where is everyone? Still snoring, probably😁 Weird, but it is nice. I can

Hola, Monday 💚 It's the new week and our stay in the capital had to be extended. One of the main goals for this trip is yet to be accomplished, (no) thanks to the downpour along with strong winds that

Magandang buhay💚 We left DD at 4 pm. The hubby's charms worked that he convinced us to join him on another drive to the capital. It had been raining throughout the journey, and we passed by several landslides

"Morning, Ling, did you sleep well? You should not do anything today; take a good rest," the husband's instant message in the morning. He took another trip to the capital yesterday afternoon
