Month: May 2010

  • Am I Still Fun to be Around With?

    Because of our trip to the province, it’s been almost three weeks since my last date with Dennis. I’m so happy that last night, though short and not really the date we planned for, we finally got to go on one again. We planned to eat dinner and watch a movie and have coffee in […]

  • Argh! The Guilt

    The internet connection here is crazy! I never know when I can get to go online. Since I’m online now, I might as well give you an update on my stay here in CDO. I’ve only been here a couple of days but I am missing Dennis so much already. I really wish he would […]

  • Cagayan de Oro Diaries: Back Home

    I’m back in my hometown Cagayan de Oro! Our family has been looking forward to this break since the beginning of this year. It was quite a hectic first day though. First of all, I was not really in the right condition for flying. I’ve had this horrible cough for two weeks now, which has […]

  • Coping with Change

    Thammie Sy, Reporting for duty! I guess you can call our lifestyle as nomadic for the past month. Everything has been somewhat unstable for us since the start of the summer. To recap, our helper got pregnant and had to leave, our other helper got sick and eventually also had to leave, we got a […]

  • Everybody Wants to Rule the World

    My two daughters are very different in many ways. One is very calculated, while the other is more care-free. One is so concerned with staying away from germs, while it seems that the other has no concept of clean vs dirty, no matter how many times I over-react when i see her touching (and eating) […]

  • Para sa aking Minamahal na Inay

    If there’s one person I know who doesn’t get much recognition and honor, it’s my mom. Every time I try to say something to her to express my appreciation and love, she automatically squirms and makes a joke out of it, trying to diffuse whatever tension gets built up inside of her. Most of the […]

  • The Blame Game

    It all started in the Garden of Eden. The man said, “The woman you put here with me—she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.” Then the LORD God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”         […]

  • A Word of Thanks

    I am very grateful for my spiritual family. Let me say that again… Lord, THANK YOU for placing me in a wonderful spiritual family!! Thank you for surrounding me with people who are overflowing with your love! I know I keep mentioning this, maybe to the point that some of you might be thinking, “Spiritual […]

  • ER Incident

    It’s seven-thirty in the morning as I am writing this, and I haven’t had any sleep yet. I am now here in the ER of St. Luke’s Medical Center, waiting for the attending doctor to sign Mika’s discharge orders. I requested for them to allow us to go home first, since Mika already fell asleep […]
