Chapter October Celebration One of the chapters in a year that I look forward to is Chapter October. It's not my birth month, but it's my hubby's. That means there's cake! Yum! :-P Also, it's when we celebrate our Wedding Anniversary. Thirteen years married. Whoa! That means we've known each other for almost two decades. Although we didn't discuss any plans, I was hoping we'd have lunch together before we fetch the children from school. It didn't happen. But... We had dinner at Café … [Read more...]
Missing Chapters, Missing Pages, Cymplified!
It is now October. I believe I am missing Chapters June, July, August and September. My last entry was Chapter May. Chapter June: Aside from catching up on sleep because of jet lag, I caught up on my work like paying bills, writing checks, doing assigned tasks, etc. Since my coupon code for Photobook would have expired by the end of the month, I made three albums. These photos were from our family trip to Balesin last year, my trip with my hubby to South Africa (also last year), and my … [Read more...]
Chapter May: Food Edition, Cymplified!
Chapter May: En Route I pushed the luggage trolley leaving the airport, and it was like waking up from a dream as the Manila heat rushed to my face. Time seemed to have paused for me, for exactly 18 days, when I left the country. Yet, it apparently continued on for those I left in the Philippines. Something in my heart told me that I missed plenty. It's true, I missed my hubby and our kids very much. On the very first day of May, laden with luggage and bags, I was caught up in the airport … [Read more...]
Family Getaway: April Birthdays, Cymplified!
Chapter April began with a trip South to celebrate one of the April birthdays. Thank God the kids were already on vacation, thus, our minds were also already on vacation. These days, within a few minutes after I shower, beads of sweat form on my forehead and under my eyes. Summer is really upon us. The scorching sun insists upon making its presence felt; via the burning of exposed skin when we go outside. Hot & Happy in Laiya The children had the perfect idea of … [Read more...]
Chapter March, Cymplified!
A Late Start It had been fourteen days since Chapter March started, and I have begun writing the third chapter just now. Why is that? It could be that I was tensely anticipating the children's final exams. I so dread these three days of assessment. I could also be nervous about getting a Visa for an upcoming trip. Who knew it could be tedious and time-consuming? Mostly, I have my nose in a book. I finally finished George Washington and the Secret Six. Currently reading The Magic … [Read more...]
Embrace Women, Cymplified!
Embrace Women And Their Differences There are numerous kinds of women. There are countless combinations of personalities and preferences; not to mention race, culture and beliefs. Like flowers with copious species, women bloom differently and each is unique. The number of petals might differ largely or slightly, another might flourish facing the sun and the other blossoms embraced by cold air. Each with a different height and a different color and a different size. Like snowflakes that float … [Read more...]
Chapter February, Cymplified!
March starts with a recount of Chapter February. As I march into March with nonchalance as I kiss my children's cheeks before they entered school, I had a plan to post a few key moments of February. Come evening, I was suppressing a slight feeling of panic as I thought of the things I have to do before May arrives. It's also the month when the children will have their fourth quarter exams. It's always a stressful time for me. To nag and help my kids review. To print pages upon pages of review … [Read more...]
