Happy Valentine’s Day to all my friends in the blogworld!

Christmas Pixes in January :)

mom811 on Jan 26th 2009

Oh never mind that being-amused smile. I’ve been an absentee from this site, I know, but scrutinizing the dates of my posts, I’ve found out that I’ve been a laggard, more than I’d allow  (if only it could be!) myself to be. From December 7 to January 15, I’ve not posted any . Well, [...]

More on the Sinulog Festival

mom811 on Jan 19th 2009

As a continuation of yesterday’s post: These affairs have developed into tourist attractions that widespread commercialism has threatened to cover up its religious significance. In Cebu City however, they have a commission (or a foundation? whatever) to safeguard that the spiritual value of the affair be not dimmed by the glitter of trade and business [...]

I’m in “Exile”, But I’ll Be Around :)

mom811 on Aug 27th 2008

It’s only now I’ve come back to this site, and I’m a bit sad, but as you say “Cheers!” And so I also say to myself, “Cheers!” I’ll make the most out of the situation though; I’ll try to update this when time permits.
Where is mom these days? Here in Manila, for some important [...]

More on Little Caite and Beautiful Sights

mom811 on Jul 1st 2008

(written July 1, 2008)
For baby Caite’s “10th-month day” celebration last Friday, she had her stroll at Kirjurinluoto Park. I wasn’t with them that time as it was my “holy hour” (time of my after-lunch nap - or sleep? ). They were impressed by the cleanliness of the air (no pollution), the extensive playground with [...]

(written June 27, 2008)
Hurray for baby Caite today, at ten months, and in chilly Finland! We thank the Lord for our little “apo”, for her good health, strength and endurance during our travels, even with the changing climate for different places/countries, and in the different stages of her growth.
