Hello from the ChasingDreams.net headquarters, and by "headquarters" I mean our bed. I mean, isn't that where dreams happen? Lol. Kidding! Well, not kidding. I am literally on our bed as I type this, wearing the usual pajamas. I wish I could say I was writing ...
You’ll Always Be Our Babies
"You're my baby," I would say. "I'm not a baby anymore, I'm a big girl," Rain would reply. "But you're my baby," I'd repeat, part joking, part serious like 'I don't care what you say, buddy, you're mine!' "No, no, Mommy, I'm not! I'm a big girl. See, I'm 5," she would insist, ...
Investing in Good Children’s Books
Just the other week I had a random chat with Paula about how hard it is to find good children's books in this side of the world. For me, "good children's books" ones that are first of all well-written, have beautiful illustration, preferably not based on popular cartoon ...
Avon’s Pink Lipstick Collection
As a mother who works from home, you'd be surprised at the amount of lipsticks I spend money on. "It's an investment, babe", I half-jokingly say to my husband, who gladly supports my splurges anyway. (Note: Find a man who supports your weird and sometimes unnecessary obsessions, ...
When in Baguio with Kids for 36 Hours
Sometimes, you just have to go for it. Even when the idea crossed your mind just 24 hours ago and you didn't have a clear plan or Baguio itinerary. In fact (as we all have proven time and time again), the trips that usually push through are the ones we didn't overthink. This ...

A Year of Seeking and Finding
I had to catch my breath. 2017 was like running an invisible marathon—I mean, wasn't that the fastest year ever? It sure felt that way to me. Today, in tradition of processing the past year, here's me wrapping up 2017 in a nice little bow. Also in tradition of cataloging each ...
Our First Airbnb Tagaytay Experience
I’m a late bloomer when it comes to AirBnb. It was 2016 when I downloaded the app out of curiousity, but it wasn’t until 2017 when I started actually using it. I’ve read articles about how using AirBnb isn’t fun anymore, and how the whole concept of apartment-sharing has lost ...
The Key to Engaging with Your Readers
There are two ways we can tackle this matter. First, we can be very technical and talk about best practices. I can discuss strategies, tools of trade, and how to integrate an email subscription system to your existing website and blog content. I can talk about why you need ...
5 Important Truths About Balancing a Full-time Job and a Side-Hustle
Lately I've been seeing influencers quote these words "If you don't build your dream, someone will hire you to help build theirs,"—as if that's a bad thing. There's absolutely nothing wrong with being "hired to help build someone else's dreams"—isn't this the point of starting ...
