Catching Up

-
Wow, it's been 6 years since I last updated this blog. A lot has happened IRL (in real life).

I was scrolling through the my posts, and the most recent one was a bento post. I remember the days when the bento supplies available here in the Philippines were so few. I thought of opening up a shop of my own but couldn't get it off the ground. I guess was I was too afraid to invest that I didn't put in my best effort to find a supplier. Fast forward to today, bento-ing is a booming craft. Lots of Filipina moms are doing it, which means more stores are selling bento-tools. How do I know? I've frequented a lot of the local hives of Filipina moms - Facebook Mommy Groups!

In the 6 years that passed, I got married and started a family with my then nicknamed SDEHBF (super duper extra hot boyfriend). I still think he's super duper extra hot, even if he doesn't believe me. LOL. I mean, I dont know about you but these photos do tell me he is still that SDEHBF I've had years ago :)




Aside from cooking and baking - which are super useful hobbies for when you're a real adult - I took on a new hobby; or rather turned a habit into a hobby: Planning or what is now popularly called: Creative Planning. I mostly do it at home or at work, but every once in a while I do indulge in spending time with myself in cafes, like a true tita!

Crafting and creative planning is a part of my everyday life now. It's so fun and therapeutic, it especially helped me when I went through post-partum depression after I gave birth to my first born.
I'm currently pregnant with our second baby and we'll know the gender this week! We're so excited!

Currently, I am mostly at home because of my sensitive pregnancy. My time is consumed with mostly playing with my son and washing dishes. I figured I'll carve out some time to resume my blog. I've slowly prepared our bedroom so I can work on my crafting and blogging without my toddler trying to get my attention, looks like it's working! Oops! spoke too soon!

Looks like mommy duty is back on, and I'll work on revamping this blog

Til the next post!

An attempt for Bathroom Sessions

Okay, I haven't thought of a nice title for my guitar sessions and this first 1 isn't at the bathroom, it's in my lil bro's room. This is just an attempt so it's not a full song or anything. Overjoyed as popularized by Stevie Wonder Chords: Intro: C B7 Bb7M B7 C B7 Bb7M A Stanza: D Bm Em - A Overtime, I've been building my castle of love D Bm E - F# Just for two, though you never knew you were the reason B F# I've gone much too far for you now to say Bm E A That I've got to throw my castle away D Bm Em - A Over dreams, I have

Teacher! Teacher!

-
I've been a teacher for 2 weeks and 2 days now. I can say that being a teacher is equally hard and satisfying. My experience is not as tough as most teachers though. For starters, I only have 9 students, sometimes 3. I don't need to bring test papers home just so I could return them on time. I don't need to make a lesson plan. HAHAHAHAHA *insert triumphant laugh here* One of the joys of being a teacher is seeing that your students are able to understand what you are saying. It's like saying "Oh Yeah! I can teach! I can teach!" IT FEELS GOOD. DAMN GOOD :) Now I know why smart students are teachers' favorites. These smart students give the teacher a sense of accomplishment. They get the lesson. They are able to do it by themselves! YESSSS! It's kinda scary though, being a teacher. I mean, yeah I teach them everything I know and have learned but a person retains only a certain percentage of knowledge from school. So that fraction of knowledge that I learn

Free Printable: Customizable A5 Vertical Week on 2 Pages for Happy Planner or Ring Binder

I'm the type of person where pre-made planners do not work. I need my space to be fluid enough to cater to my needs, and that varies by so much. I think the reason is because I use my planners for everything, and the content varies per day; so naturally, my to do list, notes and journal entries won't fit the regular pages of a planner. I started my online business this March and I find myself needing a dedicated planner for my business. It doesn't take too much space in my bullet journal, mostly just to do items and ideas to note of, but I think I'd rather that these things be in a separate planner where I can detail and schedule them properly. Since I'm new to this business thing, I need more structure in my planning. I don't want to devote the extra time of making my weekly layouts by hand so I figured I'd need a regular planner.  I know it's easier (and probably cheaper) to just buy a planner from the bookstore since most of them are on sale n
