What a journey it has been...

"Half the world is sleeping...
Half the world's awake..."

Best excuse to be emotional.

MBS is entering the big 1 in a few weeks' time. She's actually turning 1 already! Where did the time go?

It's funny how things change when you have a family. MH and I were just talking about the topic when he mentioned, "It's funny how I don't know the TV shows my friends talk about anymore, but I can tell them everything they'd ever want to know about breastfeeding."

That pretty much sums up our experience as parents. We've literally put our social lives on hold. We haven't gone out on a decent date, let alone watch a movie in the theaters, for the longest time. We've skipped out on lots of spur-of-the-moment get togethers. We don't even know what the trends are these days anymore. It's because after every single day of work, the only thing MH and I want to do is go home and see our baby girl. And hearing her laugh with excitement when seeing us come home makes every single postponed date worth it.

"What a journey it has been..."

And yet the journey is just about to start. :) I'm looking forward to more play time with MBS. I'm looking forward to teaching her, to hearing her say her first sentence, and to see her go to school. I'm looking forward to teaching her how to pray, to have faith and just trust in God. I'm looking forward to let her know that MH and I are always here for her, and that we love her with all our hearts. :)

"...the stars are out tonight, and they're bound to guide my way...
When they're shining on my life, I can see a better day.
I won't let the darkness in. What a journey it has been..."

Baguio City 2017 - Day 3

DAY 3 Here's a glimpse (with pictures) of what the inside of our rented house at St. Patrick looks like. The house can be rented for Php 18,000 a night. It was pricey for our small group, but would have been worth it for a bigger group. Room# 1 at Lower Ground CR inside Room # 1 Stairs going to the main floor Living room (Main door is on the right) Dining room just across the living room Kitchen (Pots and pans, knives, chopping board, plates, utensils, rice cooker, water dispenser with 5 Gal water, water kettle are all provided.) Room # 2 at Main floor CR just outside Room # 2 Stairs leading to 2nd Floor Room# 3: Master's Bedroom (there's a CR inside) Room # 4 across the Master's Bedroom (CR located beside the room) Stairs going to Attic St. Patrick Village was nice enough to hold my downpayment for 1 year. We were supposed to go last year, but we had a family emergency. I was really charmed by this place (...

NAIA 2 and its Infant Feeding Station

A few weeks ago, I had to travel to Canada without MBS. With the long haul flight and being outside my own comfort zone, I realized I was going to have a hard time with pumping and breast milk handling. Thoughts of where I was going to pump, how I was going to pump (in public areas) worried me. So, I'd have to say that I was immensely happy when I saw the Infant Feeding Station at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 2. The station is located at the left end of the waiting area after you pass the carry-on luggage X-ray and metal detector. The sign of the station was a bit hard (for me) to see because firstly, I have blurry vision and secondly, the sign was way smaller than the MASSAGE sign beside it. But the station was truly a welcome sight, esp. since it's air-conditioned inside. I got a chance to beat the warm temperature in the waiting area for a while. :) Hopefully someday, all airports will soon be equipped with their o...

Hong Kong Disneyland (June 2018)

Since MBS kept true to her goal of getting a gold merit award on the 4th grading of her K1 journey (Yay!), I had to keep my word of granting her wish - a trip to Hong Kong Disneyland. We arrived at HKIA around 5:30pm and had our dinner first before heading to the happiest place in the world. I loved that they cut the noodles for the kids so they won't have a hard time eating! MBS LM After filling our tummies, we headed off to the taxi area. HK taxis are set into three categories or colors, depending on the area: red for urban/city areas, blue for Lantau island, and green for New Territories. All three colors can bring us HK Disneyland. However, the red one is a bit more expensive than the green and blue ones. We took the green taxi. The ride to the Disneyland Explorer's Lodge cost us 147 HKD. Finally, we checked into HK Disneyland's Explorer Lodge! Hong Kong Disneyland offers three hotel choices: Disneyland Hotel, Hollywood Hotel, a...
