Our Holy Week 2018


Hello everyone!

I know late post again. Ang dami kasing naging ganap and one is my eldest half brother died.

Anyway life goes on. I know he is in the best place where there's no pain and sadness. We gain another angel again.

Well, I am here to share how we spent our Holy Week this year. If you are a regular reader of this blog, maybe you already notice that whenever there's an opportunity to have a long break from work we always choose to spend that with our family.

So just like the previous years, we spend this Holy Week with our family. We started it with attending a mass on Palm Sunday.


Then, we went home on Holy Thursday na. We took the early trip para iwas traffic pero ang dami pa din pala bumibiyahe that early in the morning.

Here with my not so little boy. My grocery buddy, aside from his Dad.


I am here with my sister when we visit our brother on Good Friday. One thing I like talaga is to bond with my siblings.


On Black Saturday, we went to Our Lady of Manaoag. Supposedly, Thursday kami pupunta but because it was so hot we chose not to go. Ayun natuloy naman ng Saturday.


It's been 12 years since our visit here. First time naman ni Matthew.


After hearing a very early mass, we went home na din agad. But of course, souvenir photos muna.




On Easter Sunday, Matthew got a chance to bond with his cousins.


And nephew.


My heart is over flowing with happiness whenever I am with my family.


Before going to Daddy's place, dumaan muna kami dito sa sunflower garden at Central Luzon State University (CLSU), our Alma Mater.

There we took many photos of us with the sunflowers.

Ang dami ding dumarayo dito to take selfies, groufies, etc.

So there you go. Simple lang, walang malaking gastos pero busog na busog ang puso namin. We pray, enjoy and love one another, just the way I wanted and just what we need. 

Will be sharing more stories pa. Just hang on guys. Until then!

Welcoming 2018!


Finally! Eleven days after New Year, here I am writing about how we welcome 2018.

Mga bes, I know January will be a busy month for me. What I didn't anticipate e magkakasabay sabay lahat ng activities like year end report, meetings, seminars and even Matthew's 3rd quarterly examination. Ending ngarag talaga ako.

Tambak na pending posts ko. Remember my Singapore trip last September pa? Hay... I didn't know where to start. 

Actually, just this night I reviewed Matthew. Times like this I am thinking of having a tutor for him. Yun lang talaga being a hands on mom, for sure hindi ako mapapakali not knowing how and what they have reviewed or studied. 

Well anyway, enough of this drama, and share ko na muna how we welcome 2018!

The day before New Year's eve, I received my essential oil blends I ordered from Healthy Oils PH.


Daddy has cough for weeks na that time kaya napabili ako nyan when I saw it on Facebook. I will tell more about it in a separate post.

Then, as usual, lagi kaming naghahabol with our home beautification. Daddy repainted our room.


Since December 30 is a holiday, I have time to clean and reorganized our home.




Sa totoo lang mga muthers, noong araw lang na yun ulit ako nakapag-general cleaning. We have no househelp e and now we are going through tough times again looking for a househelp. Kaka-stress but lucky I have this little boy, my stress reliever.


Next day, we went to Church since we can not go to na that New Year's eve.


We are thankful for 2017. It was a very blessed year for us. Will make a recap soon (I know, it will be late again...)


This is our simple salubong and celebration for 2018.


My cheesy carbonara.


My chicken macaroni salad.


Daddy's barbecue and hotdogs.


Ham.


Daddy's bibingka.


Leche flan.


My fruit salad.

And of course fruits and chocolates.


For years, this is how we welcome New Year.


Simple lang.



But I always believe, simple celebration with the family is always the best.


Medyo belated na, but still Happy New Year from our family to yours!


Have a more prosperous, bountiful, joyful and blessed 2018!

Wordless Wednesday: Red, Yellow or Black

Red, yellow or black?


Need to say he loves shades? These are his rewards of being good in school. Another simple joy of our little boy.

P.S. : Please checked out the crochet Iron Man mask I made at Our Family Blogs About.
