Getting X ready for high school! Our goal is to get him into Ramon Teves Pastor Memorial Dumaguete Science High School. (Seriously, wala nay mas taas pa ani? LOL!) J and I are both Science High alumni, so of course, I want X to go there too. Damay-damay
The Ending We Deserved, Just Not Enough of It Some series you watch to pass the time. Others stay with you in a way that is harder to explain — less like entertainment and more like something that quietly becomes part of how you understand yourself. Yumi’s Cells

Our two canine
Single Mom Survival: Week of Self-Sabotage Life as a single parent often feels like juggling flaming torches while riding a unicycle. As an introvert (and a classic INTJ!), my default mode is analysis and planning, trying to make sense of the beautiful chaos that is raising my 12-year-old
Single Mom Survival: Week of Self-Sabotage Life here in sunny Dumaguete has its own rhythm, a mix of the daily grind, the joys (and occasional dramas) of raising my 12-year-old, Xavy, and the delightful chaos brought by my two very opinionated dogs – a sharp Belgian Malinois and
