A drive yesterday morning took us to the region's capital. The hubby couldn't be happier as he's got two mischievous creatures for company, so his delivery trip wasn't boring😅 We ate lunch halfway through

A blissful weekend💛 The rain finally came yesterday, and even more generously today, with matching roars of thunder behind the mountains and flashes of lightning in the sky. That's the month of May we

Magandang buhay💛 A whirlwind Friday! We have been out and about since 8 am, driving to the other town for various errands. First to the bank, the organic veggies center, then to my sister's, to Papa's

Productive day in DD. We were up earlier than usual, 'coz we had watering to do. The rain hadn't visited since Sunday, and with the scorching heat starting at 7 am, the plants get thirsty easily and had

Walking is one of the ways for me to go on a mental diet. Sort of a mental detox. It's my way of dialing down whenever I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed or when I can't calm my mind. It rejuvenates me, boosts

"It's signal number 3 in Pagudpud!" a cousin posted. At that time, we were in Paoay (also in Ilocos Norte) on the first day of our family trip in January. The weather was lovely where we were,

Bright. Warm. Gorgeous Mother's Day. We went to the other town for the morning mass. When the service was over, we picked up the power tools at Papa's place. He wasn't around, so we didn't stay long. While

Beautiful life💚 So it's the weekend! The day started bright, then suddenly turned gloomy. The hubby thought we would join him on his drive to the capital. I did too, then in the last minute, the mind

Magandang buhay💚 While browsing through the archives, I found some snapshots, which I realized have not been shared yet (after going through my previous posts), so I guess today is their time.😁 Coming

We are now in the fifth month of the year. The photo above was taken in January, and looking at it gives me nostalgia. Oh, how quickly the months went by! And how fast the years passed. I just realized

Magandang buhay💛 The new week started great. I'd say it's quite a reflective Monday for me, thanks to a powerful metaphor that I read today. It said, "If you don't like the shadow, reposition the

Magandang buhay💛 Instead of going for a ride to a cousin's wedding in another province, the first Saturday of May was spent lazily. While we wanted to meet our distant cousins on Mom's side of the family,

My (paw)rents teased me to stay home to guard their riches, and they will take a trip. They have never left the house for the neighbor's parties without me. Do you think they will leave me alone for a

Oh la la! It's the end of the month already. April (like any other month) seems to have flown by. Thank goodness we have several mementos from it (them), proving things happened while they passed.😁 Anyway,

In a world where hustle has become the norm, and everyone seems to be in a race, it is easy to get mired in life's minor annoyances and inconveniences. We get overwhelmed by immediate problems, temporary

Magandang buhay💚💛 Yongi and I are having a cool and quiet Sunday mid-morning down here in DD. Feeling a bit low on energy, we skipped joining the hubby on his drive out of town. Besides, we were there

I was listening to an audiobook yesterday that took me on a trip to yesteryears, when I was emotionally challenged. Back when I let other people hold the remote control over my emotions. When I allowed

Documents and such needed to be signed, so we had a quick drive out of town yesterday afternoon. Well, the rains have come (with thunderstorms even), but the scorching heat, even at 3 pm, reminded us that

"At my age?" She laughed out loud, with a trace of disbelief, after I suggested it would be great if she learnt to drive. Well, before that, she shared that her daughter is going to the city

Magandang buhay💛 We had the most abundant rain yesterday, and it lasted over half an hour (unlike the first downpour last Thursday). "What a blessing! Thank you..." I murmured gratefully, then
