2023!

On the first day of 2023, we were in Forest Park in Dahilayan, Bukidnon. Whenever our family is there, we never skip doing The Luge. I think the first time we ever got to try it in Dahilayan, none of our kids could drive on their own yet, but did so on our next visitsContinue reading “2023!”

A mother’s day poem

Handog namin ngayong araw na ito, Para sa aming nag-gagandahang mga ina, Ang pasasalamat at pagmamahal, Na sana’y inyong madama. 💙 Salamat po’t hindi nyo insip ang sarili, Hinayaan nyong mapagod at mahirapan, Dahil sa loob ng siyam na buwan, Kami’y nakitira sa inyong sinapupunan. 💙 Hindi kayo noon makatulog ng mabuti. Hindi masyado makakainContinue reading “A mother’s day poem”

A few weeks ago, the girls had a scheduled free day, and our birthday girl mentioned she wanted to go to a zoo/farm. We remembered Yoki’s Farm, which we saw posts of from our friends. But because lockdowns and alert levels here keep changing, I honestly do not keep up anymore, I wasn’t sure ifContinue reading “Yoki’s Farm!”

So Here We are Again….

Here we are again, almost time for elections, online discussions getting heated. On the one hand, I appreciate the passion people have for our country. I learn from their posts.
