Days are long but years are short🥲
This year, Sophia is now in highschool, Grade 7 (can you believe it?😭), Jolo started SNED and Bella is now Junior Kinder.
Having 3 school kids is pure hard work, no joke. I see them grow and thrive, I am proud🥹 I pray they be surrounded with good and kind hearted people, always🙏
..too random tho? I haven’t posted for a very long time. Kpop happened😅 and well, life too.. Praying we all get by in this very unpredictable world🙏
It was exactly 9 days since Gucci announced that Lee Know is their new ambassador! I haven’t been a Stay for long, but I feel (and most other fans) that this partnership is long overdue. Gucci has been dressing Lee Know since 2023, if I’m not mistaken. I’m so proud of him! Its been a long time since I felt genuinely happy for someone who doesn’t know me, nor I don’t know personally too. I was in Korea (so timing!) when it was announced literally in every fashion media page, and I ordered practically dead on on Gucci Korea site so I could pick up before we leave! Here is my Leebit, I bring him everywhere, I should start a Leebit adventures page or something, wearing Lee Know rings🫶🏼
We went on an Alaskan cruise for hubby and I’s 20th year together! We brought only Bellie since Sophie and Jolo have school, we missed them so much on this trip!
It doesn’t show here, but we were stuffed and spoiled with unending amount of food both in and out of the cruise! Too bad we were not able to go to the glaciers because it was raining. Crossing fingers for next time! Reliving our Alaskan adventure on this reel🥳
..passed today.
I remember him as a thoughtful father, always asking how are we doing, to always take care of the kids.
He was 80. He may lived a long life, but it was a life full of struggles and regrets. He always said he regrets a lot of things, so I do not want to live my life like him. Then again, life hasn’t been fair for everyone.
Still, he was a good man. And this epitaph is exactly how he was.
Goodbye Tatay. Until we meet someday.
OMG what bappened?🤣 2023 went by so fast its another year again🥳 As always, counting my blessings as they come my way! Thankful and blessed for the year that was🙏 2023 you have been so good to us! Here’s my fave 2 photos each month! (I cannot with just 1🤪)

As I look into my child’s eyes Brimming with hope and delight A soul pure, innocent and shy A bright moonlight on a night sky How I yearn for him to speak His words and thoughts, I always seek Oftentimes I feel selfish Life before him, I long and reminisce Many times I question myself why I have such heavy burden in my life See this is not for the fainthearted Extra love and care he ever wanted He has a lifetime to learn I know Like the rest of us, although He’s making me wait a little longer to mend Please say it’ll be worth it in the end Yet in such a short period of time He made us all humble and wise He turned me into a better person Maybe he’s my life’s purpose all along As I look into my child’s eyes Brimming with hope and delight I can see clearly now why Heaven sent me an angel in disguise
I made this poem as advocacy material for my CSN short course.🙂
I have a draft for my 2022 rundown which I didn’t get to post. But to make it short, it was a year of hope and gratitude for me🙂 I can see my 1 year old Bella is a neurotypical child, and I am thankful Sophie has another sibling to help take care of their brother with special needs. Bella was baptized, Sophie had her first communion. Jolo started OT and ST therapies again after ending ABA therapy. We travelled to Boracay and El Nido. The kids celebrated their 1st, 4th and 9th birthdays in one day. And before I knew it, 2022 ended. It was that fast. 🥹
Aaand now, its May. 2023. Already 5 months into the new year! Whew. Few more months and we’re putting up the Christmas tree again.🙏
4 meaningful months has already passed. January, I had a minor surgery to help me with adeno pain. February, we travelled to Hongkong again after 4 years! March, we went to Singapore. How we missed travelling the most! By April, Sophia started tennis and dance lessons. She’s loving these classes btw. Bella is growing up fast, probably my smartest, and definitely my naughtiest kid! My boy Jolo, he has improvements and regresses, but we plan on enrolling him to preschool this year.
As for me I started with gym this year. I’m not expecting too much, I just want to live longer 😅 for my kids of course. I personally chose to stay beside my kids during their formative years. Life is fleeting. Work can wait. As for hubby, he’s been busy with the biz, working tirelessly. Which is good for us, I guess 😂
This month I am waiting for Seung Gi’s concert (again so soon? why, yes!) A theater play before the year ends, and a couple more travels🤞🏼
Believe me when I say I have my share of ups and downs that some people cannot see, fighting my battles every single day. But I am manifesting this year will be a great year of abundance, good health and sound mind, above all. Lets keep on rolling, 2023!
Here are some of my favorite shots from our ugly sweater photoshoot! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from us to you🎄We are truly thankful 🙏
