beach bum

Aki is a water baby..He loves water so much, whenever he sees water from swimming pools to our sink, he is tempted to play with it.

This picture was taken in Guimaras Island for the Holy week. Guimaras Island is know for its sweet mangoes and fresh air. People visit Guimaras for its secluded beach resorts totally in contrast with BOracay. It is also home to outdoor activities like Air SOft, War Games, wall climbing and other outdoor activities.

To reach the island, take a boat ride from Iloilo City. the ride would take 30 minutes and there are jeepneys that you can ride or rent. Tourists are not allowed to bring in mangoes to preserve their own varity. before going back home, pay a visit to the Trapist Monastery. you can buy jams and other products which are made from all natural ingredients...

Of Nappies and Kisses

I love kids and I always will. Pregrnacy came to early though I was expecting to experience it. And after a year and a half and investing in diapers and formula milk, my precious one is now an adventurer. I can't imagine myself without Akira- my love and my life.

When I was single, I was struggling to achieve something. To make my parents proud and my friends envy. I tried and for a short time I got it. I was teaching English in Japan, had my own apartment and bought Chanel lipstick like buying a frappe latte in Starbucks. Then, he came. All my long term plans were twisted.

I dont want to divulge much of what happened in between but what matters most is the present. I tried to be a working mom but realized good nannies are harder to find than responsible husband. I quit and decided to stay home. I realized how much I missed my son. I missed his infancy, his mumbling of words and his sweet smell.

Do I have to look back? I need to move forward for my Akira wants me too. He wants me to be alwasy there for him. To giggle with him and give in when he has tantrums. Oh, I love my job and I'm just thankful that God gave me a comfortable life.
