Photographs of our twin daughters, once a week, every week, this 2014. I was having a rough day when I took these photographs and the girls were my instant pick-me-uppers. I have found the key to keeping my sanity and peace of mind, and that is to take a break ...

Healing
Last week Rain caught a bad case of flu, and if you're a Mommy, you would know that nothing is more important than a sick baby. Everything had to be placed on hold. I skipped Worship Service on Sunday morning to be with the twins, and by Sunday night we had to take Rain to the ER ...
31/52: Sunny Side Up
Photographs of our twin daughters, once a week, every week, this 2014. Our darling fashionistas sporting their new sunnies. Guess there was no need to say good bye to summer here in the Philippines! It may be the monsoon season now, but it's good to know that ...
My Hillsong Story is NOT My Story
If you've been following my blog for a while, you'll know that I've recounted this story many many times. It's a story I love talking about because God has taught me so many things through this experience—lessons on trusting His perfect timing, never giving up on dreams that ...
You only get to be a bride once
Throwback! On the eve of our wedding, I was absolutely sure that I would look like the most haggard bride ever. I was sleepless for weeks, my eyebags were the size of a half-moon, and I was worried about too many things. But then our wedding day came, and I never felt more ...

Only one life
The other night we heard of the passing of a dear family friend. “Mommy” is what we called her. Even though her nickname was “Bing”, and she's technically my (non-blood-related) "Lola", I can't remember ever calling her any other name but “Mommy". That house in Opera ...
Moments I’m not able to capture in photographs
We take bazillions of photographs of our twins. The photos you see on our Instagram and Facebook feeds is just a tiny percentage of the amount of photos and videos we accumulate week after week. And yet, it still often frustrates me that I'm not able to capture enough. There's ...
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 ...
9/52: Multiply life by the power of two
When I took this photograph of them holding hands, and Dawn resting her head on Rain's shoulder, all I could think about was how blessed they both are to have each other. An instant playmate, a sister, a best friend. I remember growing up wanting to have a sister so badly. I ...
