Crazy Thing Called Motherhood, Cymplified!

by

Hi moms! How was your Mother's Day? I know it's been weeks, but I would like to know. :-) Mine was simple. I went biking with my husband Rix in the morning. Then my family and I had lunch with my parents, two of my brothers and their families. We hanged out at my parents' home until it was time to head to Rix's sister's house for the dinner with his side. That's all! In between preparing for these family gatherings, there are the mundane things such as feeding, bathing, dressing up, making … [Read more...]

Family Getaway: Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar, Cymplified!

by

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...]

A January Bride by Deborah Raney, Cymplified!

by

Annabeth's Inn became more than a peaceful place where author Madeleine Houser continued writing her latest novel, when the construction at her sister's place became too distracting. She was grateful to octogenarian Ginny Ross, her neighbor and friend, for the arrangement made with the inn's owner and Ginny's friend, Arthur Tyler. One note left by Madeleine to Arthur started a correspondence between them like old friends, although they have never met. Both of them enjoyed their daily exchanges, … [Read more...]

Finding Beauty, Cymplified!

by

The city where I am located has many factories and manufacturing establishments, maybe even more than residences. The 3-storey house that I live in is old and signs of its age are showing in the cracks on the walls and other places. I am worried about the air quality of this city and also worried about this house falling apart. Often I would wish to move into a new home, a home of my dreams which would be a fine place to raise the children. But, for now, my desire would remain a wishful … [Read more...]

Love Is An Open Door Valentine’s Day Card, Cymplified!

by

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day, what plans do you have with your hubby and/or kids? My husband and I don't really celebrate it because of practical reasons like traffic jams and packed restaurants. And if we were to go on a date, we have to bring the kids since they don't have a nanny. It's going to be a very ordinary day for us. But, I have been bitten by the love bug and decided to do something for Valentine's. Not a grand romantic gesture, though, I made a cymple Valentine's Day card inspired … [Read more...]

Frozen, Cymplified!

by

Is Disney's Frozen still hot in your home? It is in ours! We still sing the songs from the movie. Yes, I am included! :-D It was Ella's Christmas program in school that day. She's the adorable Christmas tree in the middle. My hubby Rix took photos and videos while I watched on with our two younger kids. Afterwards, we had lunch at Shakey's. Spaghetti, chicken and mojos, anyone? I love family moments like that! And what made it even better was when Rix declared we were going to watch Frozen in … [Read more...]
