So, quick life update before we get into the scenic stuff! Xavy and I officially escaped the crazy PH heat and are spending his entire school break down under in Australia. We flew out last April 1st—and no, definitely not an April Fools prank, besh, legit umalis talaga
Some kids are ready to focus. No coloring, no illustrations — just the numbers, the dotted guides, and room to practice. This free number tracing sheet is for those kids. It is the same approach as the uppercase and lowercase alphabet sheets: clean, uncluttered, and built for repeated
Numbers are harder to teach than letters. Most kids can recognize them from an early age, but writing them correctly — with the right stroke direction — is a different skill entirely. This free printable makes that practice a little more enjoyable. Each number in this sheet comes
Kumusta, mga beshies! I know, I know—I’ve been MIA for a bit. Between the emotional wreckage that was You Are My Fateful Love and my sudden flight to Australia in the first week of April, my schedule has been absolutely kalit-kalit. I’m currently writing this while traveling around
Hala, it’s already March 2026! Time flies so fast, ‘di ba? I realized I just posted my thoughts on The Art of Seduction (or was it The Art of Sarah? My mommy brain is fogging up again!) earlier this week, but I’ve had this draft for Nine Puzzles

Being a solo parent means I am the Single Point of Failure (SPOF). If my income crashes, the whole system—Xavy’s school, the furbabies’ kibble, the NORECO bill—goes offline. Because I live with this constant “pessimistic” awareness, I started a part-time gig back in September. I was already logging
If you’re in IT, you know that a firewall is your first line of defense. It monitors incoming and outgoing network traffic and decides whether to allow or block specific traffic based on a defined set of security rules. When you’re a solo parent, your brain is the
Last updated: March 2026 Our visas came back in 48 hours. Multiple entry. One year. And my bank balance at the time of application was ₱40,000. I am telling you this upfront because I know that is exactly what you came here to find out. Whether your balance
Ah, “happy pessimism.” It sounds like an oxymoron, doesn’t it? Like sunshine on a rainy day, or maybe more accurately, knowing it will rain but still enjoying the warmth of the sun while it lasts. As an introvert, my mind often runs through all the possible scenarios, and
You know Murphy’s Law, right? That delightful little nugget of wisdom stating that “anything that can go wrong will go wrong”? In my world, straddling the exhilarating tightrope of solo-parenting Xavy, and the wonderfully predictable unpredictability of the IT world, it feels less like a joke and a
The past few years, I’ve learned that the way we grapple with endings is as varied and complex as life itself. The question of how to come to terms with the fact that everything, even the good things, comes to an end… my own experience highlights the uneven
