Week 20. It was Sunday afternoon and we just got home from church, which explains why the girls were wearing extra-girly dresses and ribbons. The dresses were from New York, sent by their Lola, and I was excited to take photographs of them wearing their new outfits. But once ...
30 Life Lessons I Learned in 30 Years
You know what happens when you turn 30? Nothing much, really. You probably still do the same kind of job, you're most likely still in love with the same person you've been in love with for the past 5 years, you still fit in the same sets of clothes, your looks probably hasn't ...
Hooked on Veggie Tales
Our darling twins, eyes glued to the TV screen as they watch their new favorite show. As for me, the real show was the one happening right in front of me. This is the usual morning scenario at home, the twins starting the day with Veggie Tales. For now, their attention span ...
19/52: Too busy for the camera
It's one of those days when the twins are too busy playing with their toys to look up and smile for the camera. Fiiine. :) They're turning 9 months old next week! At this point, they like testing their boundaries by crawling beyond the edges of their play mat, and walking ...
18/52: Eight months
The 8th month is such a happy month! There's so much laughter, and smiles, and milestones. We're enjoying this time we don't need to chase them around just yet, knowing that they'll be crawling all over the place soon. Like, really soon, because just the other day we caught on ...
17/52: Bedtime routine
The usual routine works like this: First we give them a bath, take we them to the bedroom and let them play for about 30 minutes. And then we switch off the lights, turn on their lullaby, and let them have their milk. Works like a charm. Usually. But then there are nights when ...
16/52: Coming home to this
As for my day job, I report to our Makati office 3 days a week and work from from home the rest of the week (not bad, right?). I couldn't be any more blessed and thankful for the setup, I guess there's really just no easy way to leave your babies behind, for whatever purpose you ...
12-15/52: Funny faces, greatest birthday gifts, bedtime stories, and last goodbyes
The days and the months have been passing by so swiftly. Tomorrow, Dawn and Rain are turning 8 months old. And in a typical "new mommy" fashion, I can't stop marveling at how fast they've been growing! As promised, here's a rundown of the weeks I've missed in my 52 Week Project. ...
11/52: Happy Babies
The first photo had been my Facebook page's cover photo for weeks. And can you blame me? I can't remember what's making them laugh in this picture. It's probably me jumping up and down our bed, or their Daddy making weird faces and inventing silly words. Seriously, there's ...
10/52: Spot the Difference
I've been waaaay behind in my 52 Week Project, I hate it when I have to play catch up! So.. coming up this week is one giant post with all the weeks that I missed, along with a promise to myself that I will be more diligent in posting the twins' photographs weekly in this blog. ...
There’s No Easy Way to Say Goodbye
Normally, when you keep doing something over and over again, you get better at it. It's the reason why musicians practice all the time, and athletes go through regular trainings. Repetition does wonders in honing a skill. Sadly, saying goodbye doesn't work that way. No ...
Hello, I Turned 30!
It's been a week since I turned 30 years old, you want to know how it feels? I'm a mix of everything—happy, excited, grateful, in awe like I still can't believe I'm now past my 20s, a little anxious about the future, driven to work harder and be better, blessed beyond words can ...
