And then…, Cymplified!

a snorkeling adventure that inspired a poem

2025 begins And then, it's the new year. It's now the year 2025. I drank whiskey, and then it's time for the fireworks. Light rain fell down, while smoke rose up. We arrived at the relative's house, and then, it was time for dinner. Lasagna, fried chicken, sushi rolls filled my disposable plate. In between were conversations, words from a story, and a game of Bingo. And then, the holiday break was over and the children went back to school. They were in denial, even as school tasks piled … [Read more...]

A Little Life, Cymplified!

A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara cover

A Little Milestone One day in late May, the last time we set foot in the academy as the previous school year wrapped up was my youngest's Graduation. The day before that, my eldest kid had her Moving Up ceremony. These were milestones that we celebrated with food. On to the next level! Soon, all my kids will be in high school. Ruminating on it now, I think each person's little life is composed of a series of milestones and impactful moments. A little life that we might miss if we don't pay … [Read more...]

Last Chapter of 2023, Cymplified!

December 26, 2023 by ceemee Leave a Comment

A day after Christmas day. How was your December 25? How's the last chapter of 2023 going for you? What happened? It felt like a long time, years even, have passed since I posted here. I was going to blog about some milestones, but then life happened. Hell week (actually, months) took place when the space we are living in had little to no water in October. That's when the renovation started, along with mind-numbing decisions being made and heartrending arguments. Now, there are parts … [Read more...]

How to deal with old eyeglasses, Cymplified!

Do you, like me, use glasses to see the world better? Have you ever wondered how to deal with old eyeglasses? Come to think of it, my family and I have old, unused glasses in their boxes gathering dust somewhere. Reasons vary. The grades of the lenses are not up to date, we have changed frames along with the lenses and didn't think to reuse the frames. Here is a guest post* on repairing or recycling old eyeglasses, thus, being good to the environment. Can eyeglasses be recycled? In this world, … [Read more...]

The Year That Was, Cymplified!

April 10, 2022 by ceemee

Twelve days into the new year 2022... (the time I started penning this, and my husband has the Covid symptoms) and things seem to be still grey and dreary. I'm waiting on the new hope that a fresh year is supposed to bring. The beginning of the year that was 2021 ringed in a glimmer of promise of some sort of normalcy as the vaccines rolled in. After 2020 saw lockdowns when agencies and most people acknowledged the virus. We got jabbed. Early on in 2021, my husband and I got our first … [Read more...]

A Fortuitous Event, Cymplified!

October 9, 2021 by ceemee

fortuitous event in taking multivitamins

An Itchy Dilemma I am thankful that growing up, I am not allergic to any kind of food. Especially to peanuts, because I love nuts! But, sometimes, some things (or bodies) change. When I was pregnant with my youngest baby, I suddenly became allergic to shrimps, which I also love. It made me sad. I had to have a stash of anti-allergy meds that's safe for pregnant women. Later on, I gave birth and thankfully, it went away. Like my Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in my first pregnancy. Yes! But then, … [Read more...]

The Midnight Library & Being 40, Cymplified!

June 1, 2021 by ceemee

being 40, dealing with regrets & the midnight library

A Visit to The Midnight Library I just finished reading "The Midnight Library" by Matt Haig. This was forever in my want-to-read list but I haven't found an inexpensive copy of it. Until I saw one on Shopee. :-) I guess being 40 meant being extra thrifty (most likely the book will just be read once or twice); and also splurging where necessary (health, wellness & education). Honestly, I could somehow relate to the main character, Nora Seed. She thinks her life is mediocre, and it's set … [Read more...]
