I cannot wait to wind down with a holiday movie night with my family... After ordering or buying gifts for family, friends and the children's classmates. After wrapping presents, making customized gift tags and sticker labels. After sourcing and looking to complete the kids' attires for their school Christmas program. After the rehearsals and the children's Christmas program itself. After attending Christmas parties, filling up ourselves with food and conversations. It's time … [Read more...]

Understanding The “Bunso”, Cymplified!
Bunso is a Filipino word that pertains to the youngest child in the family. There are connotations surrounding the youngest among siblings. It is assumed that the bunso is usually spoiled rotten, which I hope my baby (and my other kids) will not grow up to be. By being the baby, it's assumed that they garner the most attention and affection, especially from the parents. By being "spoiled", the youngest could get away with anything. I sure felt that way with my youngest brother. … [Read more...]
July And Kidzville, Cymplified!
It's November, and I'm still talking about July? Am I crazy? Probably. But... July was a month of hot and sunny days. And also cold, wet, rainy and stormy days. Of the children's staying home three days before one weekend because of class suspension. July was a month of broken scanner glass plate. Of nervousness and palpitation. Of pain on the left side of the chest. Of a dark cloud looming overhead. The cloud that is breast cancer. July was a month of Cayla's sudden clinginess … [Read more...]

It's a modest new home in a new place, where there is fresh air sublime, and a garden grows on lots of space. The family cottage will be simple and cozy. It will be furnished with a library … [Read more...]
Why I Love Bath Time, Cymplified!
No, it's not because of some special shampoo or body wash that I or the kids use. I usually look forward to weekends. The children get to rest from school. Helping them with their homework is less hurried, therefore, less stressful. I, on the other hand, get to sleep in, sometimes. Yet, I dreaded last weekend because the second quarter exams were just around the corner. I almost wished that Saturday would not arrive. But, of course, Saturday did arrive and we started to review in the … [Read more...]
