Summer vacation means bored children at home. I have joined the horde of parents who want their children to avoid using the gadgets for hours and hours. These devices are addicting and children have a hard time controlling themselves. If they are to use their eyes for something, I would rather they read books. My eldest, Ella, said that reading books without illustrations or pictures is boring... Until, she read Rick Riordan's The Heroes of Olympus series. She finished the five books this … [Read more...]
Appreciating Daddy, Cymplified!
Since it is still June, it's still Father's month, haha! A short but sweet post about appreciating daddy... And all the people (the moms, the siblings, the uncles, the aunties, the godfathers, etc.) who are like dads; giving guidance and sharing strength. To the dad who would not miss the birth of his child for work or for the world, who is there to ensure his newborn is well-taken care of right from the start. He is there when his wife is recovering... Providing her with everything she … [Read more...]
Family Day Out: KidZania Manila, Cymplified!
Kai! :-D That's how they greet people in KidZania Manila. At last! We got to experience KidZania just last year. It's the popular kids' play place that hit the Philippines in 2015. We bought a voucher from Metrodeal to get ticket discount for five people. Will the children enjoy? That was our first concern. That's why we didn't first get a passport yet. After trying out some establishments in the morning, we headed to the Pazzport Office to fill out forms, fall in line, pay and have the kids' … [Read more...]
To The Mom Who Feels Judged, Cymplified!
To the mom who thinks I am silently judging her: I’m sorry if I am staring. I know it’s rude. I teach my kids that it’s rude to stare. Most moms do. You someday might, or you might already have. I’m sorry for my furtive glances at your actions. I know you can feel my eyes on you when you feed your baby or wipe the sweat from his head. The expression on your face when you talk with your toddler. The smile that you give to your teenager. You might think I am concluding what kind of mom you … [Read more...]

Gratefulness List at 37, Cymplified!
I cannot deny it. I am getting near 40. Three more years and then, I'll be 20 again.

An Averagely Median In-betweener, Cymplified!
Girl In The Middle She is the third in a series of four. Not exactly smack dab in the center, but a middle child nonetheless. She is a valley between two extremes. The mountain before her is the born leader. The one behind her is too easy-going. She is in between doing her best and being content with good enough. Sometimes she excels, sometimes she just scrapes through. She bridges two sites, yet she leads to no particular place. She embodies the phrase ‘jill of all trades, … [Read more...]
