When fear comes crippling, And doubt comes stifling. Ideas rush to my head, But won't flow to my pen. The questions are crippling. The what-ifs are stifling. I write my heart out, Yet nobody's come reading. When blogging's disheartening, When writing's discouraging, When I cannot help but To others myself comparing. Where is the light? How should I write? I have stories to tell, But my voice I cannot find. There comes a point in any journey that we undertake, blogging included, … [Read more...]

That's why, it was as simple as ever in our home when my eldest, Ella, turned seven. Well, usually we make do with store-bought cakes. But, this time, I wanted to try custom cakes from a local baker. She and I went over the designs I wanted, especially ones that have rainbows and ponies on them. This was the outcome of the customized pony and rainbow cake made … [Read more...]

Family Getaway: Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar, Cymplified!
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...]
