Photographs of our twin daughters, once a week, every week, this 2014. Of course they won't remember, but me and my husband? We sure will. Those days we excitedly waited for their arrival, not knowing how much our lives were going to change. That ...
47/52: Counting the Days, Part 2
Photographs of our twin daughters, once a week, every week, this 2014. The first set of photographs were taken on a Sunday morning, freshly bathed, before we leave for church. The next set of photographs were taken in the afternoon of the same day, all sweaty ...
46/52: Counting the Days
Photographs of our twin daughters, once a week, every week, this 2014. And so it began, the last few photo sessions with that wall in the background. We didn't have an open garage in our new place, which means we have to take them outside the compound to ...
45/52: Apartment Hunting
Photographs of our twin daughters, once a week, every week, this 2014. (This post has been waiting in the drafts for a while, and so are the last few backlogs of my 52 week project. And they're all coming out today. Let's do this.) Sometimes, you find a new ...
3 Things I Learned About Moving and Changing Addresses
Those smiles.. they keep us moving. ;) So I did the math, and it turns out I've never stayed in one house longer than 18 months, and have lived in 10 different addresses in the past 8 years. Eleven, if you count this next move. Apparently, getting married and having kids didn't ...
21/52: Home is Wherever I’m With You
Photographs of my daughters, once a week, every week, this 2014. Week 21. Once upon a time, my husband and I lived in a roof top apartment. It was our first home, with just enough living space for two and a huge outdoor area that held some of our most memorable ...
Day 30: Home is wherever I’m with you
30/30: Anything goes! After almost two months, this 30-day project has finally come to an end. And although it took me double the time to finish this one, the fulfillment is still the same as (if not greater than) the first time I did it. And so our fairy tale wedding was ...
Thoughts About Packing and Pocket-Sized Mothers
It's hard to keep up with my life sometimes. I relocated from one apartment to another in the past 5 years faster than I could empty out boxes from my previous move, I would repack my bags even before I've fully adjusted to a new place, and I would say goodbye to neighbors, ...
If I’m going to be really honest with myself
There was this moment the other night, at a family get-together, that got stuck in my head. My mom and her sisters, Nanay Maura and Tita Aida, talked with hushed voices as they watched over Isaac sleeping on the sofa with them. A bunch of cousins were in the dining area feasting ...
I want to fall in love
Two, three years ago, I made a firm declaration in front of some friends that I was never going to leave the Philippines in this lifetime. That's not to say that I don't want to travel and explore the world, I do, I'd love to travel as much as my resources would allow me, but ...
