Our first summer family getaway was to Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar. I have to warn you that this is a long and photo-heavy post. One sunny Wednesday, we drove to Bataan to visit Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar for an overnight stay. We arrived right before lunchtime after being in the car for around three hours. It helped to have a printout of the map to the place. Checking in was a breeze as I have already paid for the room reservation using credit card. I also printed the confirmation … [Read more...]
Life List, Cymplified!
I have been thinking a lot about what I want to achieve in my lifetime. Some people call this the bucket list, some people call this the life list, one girl called it the mighty life list (she actually built a community around making life lists, helping others create one and work towards checking the items off). I confess that I am a person with nary a plan for her life. It's true! I didn't even plan to get married and now I have a family of my own. Now that I am more mature, I feel the need for … [Read more...]
Newborn Health, Cymplified!
Oh, what a delight it is to meet our bundles of joy for the first time! In the nine months that I have been carrying them, I kept anticipating what my babies will look like. To finally touch my lips to their soft skin when the nurse carried them to me after my operation still stirs up a blissful feeling within. More than my children's physical appearances, their health is of utmost importance to me. Ensuring that a child is not just surviving, but thriving, is every parent's responsibility. And, … [Read more...]
A January Bride by Deborah Raney, Cymplified!
Annabeth's Inn became more than a peaceful place where author Madeleine Houser continued writing her latest novel, when the construction at her sister's place became too distracting. She was grateful to octogenarian Ginny Ross, her neighbor and friend, for the arrangement made with the inn's owner and Ginny's friend, Arthur Tyler. One note left by Madeleine to Arthur started a correspondence between them like old friends, although they have never met. Both of them enjoyed their daily exchanges, … [Read more...]
Discovering God’s Purpose, Cymplified!
For a stay-at-home-mom, getting all dressed up, going to the mall or dining out with the husband and the kids spell excitement for me. And when we go on vacation out-of-town or abroad, I'm cymply blown away! When I'm not out buying donuts or traveling with most of the house in our bags, I could be found feeding, bathing, and fussing over the kids at home. Every.single.day. Who am I to complain? This was my choice and I am really grateful I could do these things. I think of my previous nannies … [Read more...]
Sentiments Of Moms With Very Young Children, Cymplified!
I have children ages six, three and two. Being a mom to these very young children could really be physically and emotionally draining, finding me at wit's end most of the time. The demands from me seem to never end. "Mama, get please..." "Mama, eat please..." "Mama, come here!" "Mama, weewee..." "Mama, ouch!" "Mama, look!" And, sometimes, when I was about to start eating, that's when the little ones would ask me to get something or have the need to do number 2. *sighs* My body is not my … [Read more...]
Goal Achieved: January Blog Makeover, Cymplified!
Ever since this blog started, I have been constantly changing its look to suit my taste and my desired functions. When I finally settled on the elements I wanted, I decided to employ the services of a professional to execute my ideas and my blog logo. My mind is finally free from wondering how to customize the navigation links, the widget headers and the social media buttons. I finally found a layout where my logo is visible, and my content is prioritized. I finally saw my dream blog makeover … [Read more...]
