Living My Life

Motor Ride at Antipolo City 2013

Long vacation, no school and no work. We took the time to have a joy ride to Antipolo City using our motorcycle, easy to avoid and get through the busy and heavy traffic.

Going up the mountain is a splendor, fresh air, cold breeze, relaxing sounds, great view of the city. Unluckily, our phone camera was not able to capture the city, foggy and bright, reflecting the lens and I cannot find a good angle.

Ready to go home from walking around the QC circle park, I took the last shot of the big bright Christmas tree sometime eight in the evening standing at the parking area. Remembrance of a wonderful tired night strolling with my family.

There are so many people at the fountain playing around. There are bazaars selling different "anik-anik", street vendors of the candy colored sugar twirled on a stick, kids happy holding their parents hand, mini joyrides, ferry's wheel, etc.

Lazy Saturday with Jaha

Flirting with my daughter, bonding, and having fun brings so much joy in my heart. Trying new things, projecting, posing, wearing, just to kid one another introduces hearty laughter that engulfing our house with sweet noises.

This is one of the lazy afternoon we are having in her room, well, just her in the picture actually. December 14, 2013, unforgettable.

Year 2013 is ending soon and the small group prayer in the company lead by Sheila is having a get together to celebrate our mini-accomplishments and being thankful for the blessings we received from the Almighty.

We decided to go on a potluck - where every individual or pair will bring a food on the table. To organize further, we have listed who volunteered for a specific meal or vouch for a good food they wish to share.

Why I’ll Buy Valentine’s Bear Heart

One night to sleep and surely valentines 2014 will wake me up again to bring simple joys to my family. Not necessary to indulge in a lavish treats but making sure I will splurge them with my simple message of thoughtful candor of love.

Sure, making a surprise breakfast will do… but something tangible and for keeping. Aha! Our Finance committee is in promoting goods for raising budget. Why not?

Go, Hang out at Yellow Cab Marcos Hi-way

Sometime in the last week of December 2013, tired of having a long journey from Antipolo to Cainta to Ligaya, Pasig, riding on a Super-8 motorcycle, we badly need a stopover. With smokes dusted on our faces given we wore helmets, not a good shield to combat air pollution from vehicles smoking out their fumes.

While waiting to place our order, Jaha posed to keep cam moment

Good thing we parked our ride in front of McDonald Marcos hi-way and there our daughter sees the Yellow Cab store near the park lane. How can she not notice, a gleaming yellow paint of the store and a glass wall captures the magnificent light of an evening scene! This is past 8pm already and hunger strikes our little girl.

Manila Ocean Park - Jellyfish Sanctuary

Growing up near mountain tops and nearby beaches, I am accustomed to monthly family outings along the beaches of Ilocos. One sea creature that attracts me is the jellyfish. Nevertheless, for my entire childhood, I thought that there is only one type of jellyfish. I realized when I reached high school that there are different species among them until I met them personally at the Manila Ocean Park Jellyfish sanctuaries.

It took a long time to have this encounter but it is worth it because my daughter was fascinated with the different dance lights emanating from their luminescent gel body.
