The hubs heard this instrumental cover of Christina Perri's A Thousand Years on his way back from work one evening and dedicated to me on his FB page that very night when I was asleep. His message reads,A Dedication: After having the life sucked out of me from the week's demands at work...I paused and remember how much harder it is for my wife who has to balance the demands of a professional working life with the demands of home (and sometimes an unappreciative husband) and having to tear … [Read more...]

The Origins of our Love…
I'm listening to Taylor Swift's You Belong with Me as I typed this post to get myself in the mood to share our love story. Many of our friends are surprised that David and I have been wed 13 years, 'That long!?" they usually remarked. Over the years, our love has mellowed into a deep, mutual commitment and affection for each other. We have grown to become the indispensable companion and soul-mate which God has designed husbands and wives to be... Our love story started *er-hem* in the … [Read more...]

Wordless Wednesday: Be Brave Mommy!
The little one sensed my anxiety at my impending wisdom teeth surgery taking place later this evening and wrote me this sweet note before she took her afternoon nap. This is her own special way of saying, 'Be Brave Mommy! I love you!" Linking up with Sakura Haruka's … [Read more...]
Motivational Monday: Random Acts of Kindess…
We've had an eventful week: Dana broke her toe on Monday, Daddy and I each had our wisdom tooth removed (unplanned!) on Saturday evening...Pain and mounting medical bills assault us in all senses these past 2 months...So it was understandable that we were feeling a little down and deflated...Then, just as I was swarmed with my work in the office, a fellow Mommy Blogger, Jean (whom I've yet to meet in person) read about Dana's plight, FBed me for our home … [Read more...]
Photo *Heart* Friday: Going Through a Rough Patch…
I've been feeling down ever since Dana broke her toe on Monday...For those in the know, this is her second 'mishap' since July (where she busted her chin).The 'superstitious' side of me keeps thinking that we might be under some kind of 'spiritual' attack...I guessed the little one can sense my moodiness so she's been extra obedient, extra loving and extra cooperative this past one week of being home bound. Despite her discomfort and immobility, I caught her on … [Read more...]
Wordless Wednesday: When Alice came to town…
I remembered reading 'Alice in Wonderland' as one of the texts in our Children's Literature Class in University. Recently, they were in town and of course, I was more than happy to leverage on this occasion to introduce Dana to this Classic Children's Story. Dana attended Alice's Tea Party and had a fabulously fun time playing games and interacting with characters. She now knows the Mad Hatter, the Cheshire Cat, the Queen of Hearts, the White Rabbit and of course Alice and the story has sort of … [Read more...]
Thankful Tuesday: Getaway to Get Together…
We just got back from a short getaway to Bangkok...a destination which we last visited in 2000 as a young couple...I'm thankful that despite hubby's hectic workload, he managed to set aside few days to grant my desire for a regional getaway...we've both been feeling we've neglected each other of late and this trip, though short, was a good one. We visited new sites, tried new cuisines and even indulged in Thai massages two days in a row...something which we've never done before.So I'm thankful … [Read more...]
Motivational Monday – Do you ZUMBA?
I've been participating in A Juggling Mum's Motivational Monday Linky Party for a while now but have not devoted a post to my well-being. As a mom, our lives revolve around our family and children but I agree with fellow Mommy Bloggers - Susan, Ruth and June that we do need to slow down, reevaluate our priorities and take better care of ourselves. I have been lamenting to the hubs for the longest time that we should start an exercise regime so as to be trim and fit but I've never done anything … [Read more...]
Around the World in 18 Days: Taiwan!
All Swans are White… One of the reasons I love to travel is, like most, to discover new things - new places, attractions, culture, people and be inspired and enriched by the whole experience of discovery. Almost everything in the modern world, I believe, can attest to the influences from the Western World (primarily the American and British Culture) – fashion, finance, entertainment, education, business… For me, anything else would be a poor copy. It didn’t help that, growing up, I was … [Read more...]
