Celebrate All Kinds Of Love On Valentine's Day


I have Valentine's Day stories to share. The one that I will be blogging about later or tomorrow will be from yesterday. It's a Pre-Valentine's Day story. It's about food, love and priorities. It's a lovely story!

Back to present— the actual Valentine's Day. Relaxed Wahmmy is happy, but not completely. I fell asleep praying last night. It's a prayer for a loved one. She's being tested and I pray for her peace. I know she'll be OK. We both just need to leave it all to God. I will not worry. I try hard not to worry.



Valentine's Day still proved to be a lovely day despite this. God never fails to send us love every day. In fact, captured in the above photo is no-ligo-yet #littlelady. We've been to the doctor a total of five times this month and last month combined. Know what she learned? How to be a good doctor!  Here she acts as doctor and secretary in one. Her patients are Tiger and Lotty. They are Dada's kids. Lotty has chickenpox while Tiger has colds. Both were prescribed Cepanol (which we figured out was actually Paracetamol!). Oh, you should hear her lines. They were exactly what a doctor would say. I'm not exaggerating. Even 'steady lang' Bunch felt proud he agreed to play with her!

Knowing that Isha learned something from our recent experiences is enough to fill my heart with love. We don't have everything figured out, but we are all learning. There's no greater blessing I can wish for this Valentine's Day.



As for me and my partner, Bunch decided he’ll be patient with me today; particularly with my requests and occasional nagging. I apologized to him. I had a slight meltdown over a trash. Literally and figuratively. Totally not worth it. I apologized and because I was sorry he had to buy me soda so I have something to drink while we watch a movie together. Funny. Oh, we had brunch at a local Tapsi. Will that count as a date? BTW, Wanderlust is a weird movie, but the romantic love expressed by Paul Rudd to Jennifer Aniston is one I would want Bunch and I to share. He’ll live anywhere because it is with Jen he’ll always need to be with. How else would you want your husband to express his love to you? His lines are the sweetest! Paul Rudd makes for a good husband in movies. Watched him in Knocked Up. He’s so responsible there and communicates well with his wife. I love him.

We celebrate all kinds of love today. Feel free to share how you spent Valentine's Day in the comments section. 

I also managed to express love to a friend today. I agreed to read the book he's writing. The pleasure is mine. It could be the next big thing, and I get to read it before it is even published! Spending time with friends is not something I do regularly, so; I see this as an opportunity to spend time 'on' a friend. Not exactly with him, but it's time I would gladly spend to 'water' our friendship. Added as pahabol hashtag then is #LoveForFriend  Happy Valentines Day!

Recipe: Sinigang Na Buto-Buto ng Baka

A few days ago, we went to SM Marilao Hypermarket to buy chicken and cook Tinolang Manok. Everything had been planned for lunch, but when we saw the lot of Buto-Buto ng Baka on sale; we decided to give it a try and cook Sinigang  na Baka.  Sinigang is a favorite in our family (in many Filipino families, actually). My Nanay cooks the best Sinigang na Baboy and Baka. For Sinigang na Baka; she buys from her suki in Meycauayan Market, where she only pays for the beef strips and gets its fat free of charge. Her Sinigang is tasty and sinfully delicious; we're like in Tokyo Tokyo whenever it is our ulam (Unli rice!) My Sinigang na Buto-Buto ng Baka is no match compared to her's, but it turned out very good, too. Buto-Buto is flavorful and is perfect match to my Sinigang's thick sour soup. I'm proud to have cooked it a couple times and to have succeeded each time (which is not always the case, believe me!). Below are the ingredients and recipe for Sinigang na Buto-Bu

OPPO F1s: Valentine’s Dream Date

Before I talk about my Valentine's Dream Date, I'd love to first give you a bit background about who I am and what I do. Who I am can easily be summed up in 4 letters: W-A-H-M. I am a Work-At-Home-Mom doing various freelance writing, admin, social media and design work for clients abroad. I have been in the business for many years. Haven't looked back to my also fun call center life since. I have no regrets about choosing to be home all the time. After all, I am an introvert. I don't really enjoy being in a crowd. They can be overwhelming to me. I also have a 7 year old daughter, and I'm just really thankful I am present in her life and I get to watch her grow up into a happy, beautiful girl each day. I understand this is a privilege not many moms get to enjoy. I love my WAHM  life! I'm going to say this over and over again— I live to be a good mother and homemaker. I believe this is God's purpose for my life. Freelancing helps me achieve this. Working

#CoffeeShopCamping: The Frap Bar, Hotel Lorita

It's not the first time that I tried to work in coffee shops. My 'coffice' search started (and failed) in 2012. There weren't many coffee shops in Bulacan back then, and freelancing was unheard of. It was difficult to find a coffee shop that welcomed remote workers. Fast forward to 2016. Entrepreneur Philippines now features freelancing/freelancers in its articles regularly. Independent contractors come up on Facebook from time to time to share their stories and excitement for the entire world to read. We're no longer unheard of. We're now a community that sparks interest from people looking for jobs or looking into the option of starting a service-based business from home. As for me, that's total of 5 years in freelancing, and just very recently-- in Tuguegarao City. A lot has changed, but the question of whether I will be able to find a coffee shop that will welcome me in their place still stands. Prior to moving to Tuguegarao City, I found
