The World Now, Cymplified!
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 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.

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...]

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...]
