My husband had been complaining of feeling bloated or feeling 'gas' in his tummy for several weeks already. I was worried so I told him to see a gastroenterologist because we knew he had a history of gallstones. (It was diagnosed three years ago, but according to his doctor, the stone is too big to get dislodged and cause blockage, so surgery isn't...
This shot looked like we had a "destination wedding" because of the rustic feel given by the towering trees inside the UST campus. Who would have thought that this photo was actually taken in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the city of Manila?I realized that I have been blogging for almost a year already but I still haven't actually featured...

WHAT IT TOOK ME TO BE CALLED "MOM": A THROWBACK OF MY FIRST PREGNANCY AND RAFA'S BIRTHDAY
"Behold, children are a gift of the Lord. The fruit of the womb is a reward." -- Psalms 127:3 Time flies.

Yes, it was an ugly breakup.Hurt is an understatement of what I felt back then. I was devastated. I was angry, resentful, and my heart was full...
Last weekend, our family spent an overnight stay at Pearl Marina Hotel. It was a random trip we didn't plan about. My husband, who was not so busy with work last Thursday, got extra time to search for affordable Ramadan hotel deals and called me to say we're going to Dubai the next day. I was actually surprised (knowing my husband is very 'kuripot')...
I love fried chicken! Who doesn't? It's crispy, crunchy, and oh so flavorful!
