The World Now The world we live in now Makes me nervous somehow Traffic jam. Pollution. Gasoline price fluctuation. Obstruction. Destruction. Manners and values reduction. Fake things, consumption. Fake people, corruption. Vanity. Selfishness. Short-lived happiness. Chaos and confusion. Crab mentality infusion. Natural calamities are daunting. Destruction man caused is haunting. Bubbles of innocence, Pop! Streams of kindness, Stop! As a parent, I worry Feeling a little … [Read more...]

A Mother’s Prayer, Cymplified!
What is a mother's prayer? Oh, the ironies of being a mother. A mom needs to take care of the ordinary & mundane nitty-gritty of her home and her children, she also has to find the joy & beauty in everything. A mom hopes her children will be grounded & disciplined, she also hopes that they would soar & reach for their big dreams. It is tiring to meet the needs of the kids, but it is rewarding when the kids show gratefulness. There are times when she feels overwhelmed and … [Read more...]
A Birdie Reminder, Cymplified!
Living in the city, in a very industrialized one, I perpetually long for clean air. That is why I sometimes bug my hubby to take the family to parks or places with grassy spaces where the children can run and inhale fresh air. While I was carrying my baby and looking out the screen door to the balcony (no doubt dreaming of a country home with a porch and a backyard), I saw several Maya birds. With the severe lack of trees, and the noise pollution caused by passing tricycles and passenger … [Read more...]
Lesson from Elle {Sharing}, Cymplified!
Sharing, a concept that is not easily grasped by children since they are moving in a world where they are the center of everything, and admittedly, not by us adults, too. Children's innocence is amazing, they don't hold grudges. Their beautiful hearts are ever forgiving. Even though these kids were bossy and didn't play with her at times, my daughter Elle still wanted and insisted to share our food with them. And that brought to my mind this lesson from the Lord: So, I … [Read more...]
Loving Mommyhood and Blogging, Cymplified!
This is an official entry to Dainty Mom’s Bloggy Goodies Contest, in celebration of the Dainty Mom blog’s 2nd anniversary. Loving Mommyhood Ten years ago, I would never have envisioned myself as a wife and mother, and a stay-at-home one at that. I am not exactly domesticated, you know? I didn't really adore children and I am terrified of the pain childbirth brings. But here I am, with three babies and trying to be the best mommy that God wants me to be. So far, I find myself loving … [Read more...]
Being Needed, Cymplified!
I needed a break. I was getting cranky. I was getting stressed just thinking about the meals to plan for the week. I felt like snapping at the nanny. I was beginning to transform into the Hulk Mom. I couldn't help myself from saying "grr..." The youngest was crying for my attention and wanted to be carried all the time. I really should practice using the sling. The second wanted to be carried too. He also kept hugging my leg and pulling at my hand. The eldest kept asking me to draw nonstop. … [Read more...]
