Lunar or Chinese New Year was being celebrated in the Philippines for the longest time. It was just this year that it was declared a non-working holiday by Pnoy. It used to be only the Chinese school students and employees of some Chinese businesses who enjoyed a day without classes or work, respectively. I seem to recollect that New Year's day usually falls on a day in February. It's becoming earlier and earlier each year, like the Holy Week. I use Instagram These elements are always … [Read more...]
Gymini Kick & Play, Cymplified!
This gift Cayla received last Christmas seems to promise less time carrying her. Tiny Love's Gymini Kick & Play proves to be an environment of visual and tactile stimulation for my baby to keep her occupied when awake. The only instrumental music played here is by Mozart. The device with the switch says so. Each move produces sounds because of the hanging rattle and chime, the pop-up objects on the mat with noisy plastic inserts and the pad that lights up while playing animal sounds … [Read more...]
Bataan, Cymplified!
After Christmas day, I got sick that I felt disconnected from the online world. My head and throat hurt like crazy, I couldn't eat very well. I had fever and was weak. I think my milk supply dipped along with my health. I felt miserable! Still, last December 30, I went with my hubby and the kids to Bataan as I've never been there before. But I could have enjoyed the trip more if I was in a good shape. The time it took for us to arrive at our friend's place seemed to take too long, but it … [Read more...]

The First 365 Days Memory Keeper, Cymplified!
Being a mother, the desire to record each and every one of my child's milestones is a natural thing. But when life (read: feeding then burping the baby, sleepless nights, changing the diapers) gets in the way, updating the first yawn or the first sneeze in the baby book gets waylaid. Enters mommy guilt for forgetting such a significant event in my baby's life. Admittedly, if I wasn't gifted with a baby book for my first child, I wouldn't think of buying one until it was too … [Read more...]
Momme Planner, Cymplified!
This is my Momme Planner. I was giddy with excitement upon receiving it. I ordered it through my college block mate but my kind hubby paid for it. Yay! I chose the Exotic Platinum French Pochette because it's a limited edition, plus the shine and texture adds character. Lucky me, I got the last one. :-) I can imagine myself going out with my gal pals with just this and my iPhone. It would make a nice "clutch", right? Too bad my chubby Parker pen couldn't fit into the pen holder, so … [Read more...]
Christmas Tree {2011}, Cymplified!
Our Christmas tree is up! It really does help to work around a theme when putting up the decor. I was inspired by Jenni's post and came up with a way to explain our tree's decorative elements. It was a challenge since I had to use our old decor and some that were given by Rix's friend a couple of years back. Hope it makes sense! Something seems to be missing when I look at the whole tree. I remarked this to Rix and without missing a heartbeat, he answered, "Gifts." Yeah. I'll be … [Read more...]
