The Mom Box

Published on March 16th, 2009.

Each Christmas I give both of my daughters a “Mom box”. Each box contains items to encourage them to be the best mothers they can be. It might have craft books or special projects, devotional books or tapes geared toward young moms, first-aid kits, recipes for cooking with kids—and often something personal like bubble bath for a little pampering after a tough day of mothering! It’s become a tradition that Maria and Bianca have looked forward to every year for the last two years.

Mortal Sin

Published on March 12th, 2009.

I have a mortal sin that I need to confess. For the past days, due to the Christmas and New Year’s celebration, I broke some of the most important rules in my diet. For one, eating too many sweets and second, eating too much meat. Lately, I indulged myself in eating cakes, chocolate crinkles, chocolates and macaroons! I consumed more than a handful of them; and also meat, carnivore as I am, I can’t help myself not to join them with the parties. Good thing I also ate a lot of fibrous fruits that would help flush away the toxins that came with those food. And of course, I didn’t forget to exercise everyday. I would never ever forgive myself if I will forget to exercise with all the unhealthy food that I indulged in!

Anne Curtis Best Actress

Published on March 9th, 2009.

Anne Curtis starred the movie which bagged majority of the awards in the Metro Manila Film Festival—“Baler”. And one of the awards that the movie got is the Best Actress award which is awarded to Anne. It was her very first acting award and obviously, as I watched an excerpt of the awards night in the news, Anne did not expect for the recognition. She barely said anything straight and she was not prepared for any speech. Well, maybe the award is just to show that she had already matured from being a teenage actress into a full-grown award-winning actress.

Family Reunions

Published on March 3rd, 2009.

Filipinos have very strong family ties. No wonder, why every December, invitations for family reunions would always come from both maternal and fraternal sides. It is the time when aunts and cousins from both ends of the countries get to be known to the whole clan. Every family would spend time, money and effort just to make the event a grand and a successful one. And it’s quite different from families here in the U.S. and honestly speaking, I missed joining family reunions.
