It's a fine day indeed! We went to the cemetery to visit and pray for our late loved ones. I went together with my cousin and aunt who bought this flower for them. I am just the one holding it to assist her since she was holding an umbrella. It was a nice visit, with no huge crowd, and no traffics at all. We managed to go and went back peacefully unlike the other years before when the crowd was so full.
@eommaZel
It's lunchtime! Today we are having blood stew or dinuguan and pork estofado. These viands are from our generous neighbors, here in the province giving or sharing viands is very common to us, maybe it's already considered a tradition, that if you cook sufficiently something special on a specific normal or special day or occasion, sharing meals to the neighbors is a formal way as sharing your blessings. ☺ And today, we are the ones who received blessings from them. I didn't…

Breakfast is done. 🙂 My eldest is back to school today, but his schedule remains on set B (afternoon). How are you all? Do you still have Halloween hangover? I'm so sorry for my unreplied comments and unread posts, I was busy these days. And even busier since classes are back to normal. I realized, in this generation, things are so different if compared to before. I remember having a semestral break during November, we had a long week of vacation because commonly, we were…

My son just got home from school today, his grandfather(my uncle) fetch him and by the time he reached home, he went to me immediately and handed me his backpack. Every time he came home from school, I always check his bag to see his stuff and also his exams if there are any. And today, I saw his first-quarter examination results, the exams were given Thursday last week, and their teacher gave back the test papers with their scores today. His examination results make me…
@eommaZel
The day is so bright today and supposedly, my eldest has a class today, however, their teacher told us that she couldn't teach today because of her unbearable cramps. So I will use this chance to write even just a simple article because I am already absent for a week, I guess. 😅 It's time to open the laptop and write. 😁 See you later! Hope you all have a wonderful day today. 🤗
@eommaZel
Kain Tayo! Custard cake from our neighbor. 🙂 Today my mission failed again, I'm not successful in writing and finishing my drafts today. Instead, I do some house cleaning and I nap with my second born. I seldom do some afternoon naps my whole life, but today, I guess, I was so tired so my body just took a rest for a short time. And thankfully, I won't have to think what snacks we should have today because our neighbor handed me some custard cake. 🤗
@eommaZel
Look who is under the Christmas tree! It's Ginger the naughty cat. 😆 When we first put up the Christmas tree and its decors, I often saw Ginger playing with the balls, she likes to grab them until the tree fell off. After that incident, I got angry and lectured her about what she did, now I seldom see her playing with the decorations, she stays under the Christmas tree to sleep and rest instead. 😁 What a good girl! How are you guys? I’m just done with my laundry today that's…
@eommaZel
Happy Sunday! I slept early last night, but before I sleep, hubby and I had a good time last evening just at home. We did have small talks while having our coffee paired with this spicy footlong he bought right after his off from work. It's indeed nice to spend time with your partner and have small conversations to avoid miscommunications and strengthen your bond as partners in life too. 😊 Now, we are both optimistic in the remaining last months of the year, we are just…
@eommaZel
The neighborhood’s view of twilight. ❤ It's certainly one of my favorite times of the day, the setting sun leaving lovely hues playing with my vision. It was a tiring day, yet this view made my exhaustion fade away in a snap. After so many days, finally, the sunset showed up in our neighborhood. Before and after the bad weather we had the last time, I seldom see such a view, and so, as soon as I saw the colorful tint in the dusk sky, I didn't let the moment slip away. 😊 Hope…
@eommaZel
Good morning! It's almost lunch and I am just about to prepare for our lunch today hehe. How are you all? Can’t focus yet online, still have many works to do outside the virtual world. 😊 Sending my greetings to you all, have a productive Monday! 💚
@eommaZel
Why buy if you can do it yourself? My love for collecting retro ribbon hair ties and scrunchies is still alive. As I scrolled through Shopee and Shein, looking for some ribbon hair ties, I suddenly remember some old clothes I didn't use anymore. So, I thought of making them into ribbon hair ties so I won’t have to buy and spend money anymore. 😊 I’m done with the first piece, I am done with the ribbon but I have to buy a plain ponytail sooner. 😊 When my cousin knew about my…
@eommaZel
The sun is out so the cats are! It's a fine Tuesday morning, fine because the weather is so cheering plus the kids don't have classes too, so it's not a busy day for me today. 😁 It's November 8 and a part of me is excited about tonight's phenomenon. Have you read the news about the Red Moon later? If I read it right, tonight is the night for an amazing experience in the night sky. 😊 Hoping that the weather would be pleasing until later so I could witness the extraordinary…
@eommaZel
What a day! When I thought it would be sunny, now the rain comes in. 😅 I was wishing for the bad weather to disappear but look, it just rained. 🙃 How are you this afternoon? I just finished folding clothes, now I am ready to sweep the floor again. Kids have no class today so our house is very messy, but I couldn't stand to just let it messy all the time until later so, I am cleaning up their mess again and again. 😅 I got adequate energy today for tidying up. 🤗
@eommaZel
Good evening! It's kinda late but it's coffee time on my part. 🤗 I am back with my two cups of coffee per day, one in the morning and another one in the evening. The last time, I took coffee in moderation because of unusual palpitations, plus I gained weight during those times, but thankfully I am now back to my normal routine. 😁 Taking coffee in the evening helps me to relax and be ready in bed, maybe my body is used to it. I just can't enjoy a good night's sleep if I can’t…
@eommaZel
How’s Life? How’s it going? How’s life? How’s it going? Well to me, there is nothing so special going on in my busy life. I woke up today, yesterday, and just do my responsibilities as a mother and a wife. Am I bored with this setup? Uhm. To tell you frankly, I never felt bored being at home, maybe because I am a ‘home person, I prefer to be at home instead of roaming around. 😅 But I also wanted to enjoy, not alone but with my kids, yet we have no time to go out on a date…
@eommaZel
Before I left to sleep tonight, I would love to leave this instant article I wrote just shortly. Instant because I still have an unfinished draft but I wrote this one just tonight. 😅 https://read.cash/@eommaZel/hows-life-hows-it-going-293ca652 I would greatly appreciate it if ever you could visit. I was away on read.cash for a week and more already. 🤗
@eommaZel
Ola! I’m here saying my late afternoon greeting hehe. I was tired after my secondborn son’s class today, their dismissal was at noon which is why I felt so very heated due to the hot weather too. So after we finished our lunch, my secondborn and I took a nap. Today, my body needed rest so I did grab the chance to sleep along with my little kid who sleeps every afternoon, every day. Maybe my body was shocked to walk and hit by the scorching heat of the sun because I forgot…
@eommaZel
The kids in the daycare center received some nutribuns today. They received 4 pieces of nutribuns and my son already consumed one after school. This is what I love about the daycare centers here in the country, they are very much focused not only on the children's learning but also paying attention to children's health too. Before my eldest son’s time, they still do the feeding every day, each day parents were obliged to cook and get the meal prepared for the kids to keep…
@eommaZel
Been working on the grades of my father's students right after dinner earlier. My father asked me to encode the scores plus the grades of his students from grades 7-10 that will be needed tomorrow. 😶 But my eyes couldn't handle a longer screentime anymore, so I am shutting down this laptop and have my eyes rest for a while.😁 I'll just finish grades 9 and 10 tomorrow afternoon before my father arrives. 😅
@eommaZel
A pleasant day it is and hopefully, it will last until later. ☺ This time I won’t forget our umbrella because it seems the sun will be hitting us harshly again today. Breakfast is done and a few minutes from now, we will prepare for school. My eldest doesn't have classes yet until tomorrow and I told him to go with us to the daycare center later but he doesn't want to. He wants to be at home, maybe he is a homebody just like me. 😅 By the way, have a great time and a…
@eommaZel
It's late already and I haven’t posted anything since my last post this morning. After school today, I was preoccupied with my real-world obligations hehe. Before we went home from school, my son's teacher handed us again another pack of nutribuns. Since the kids easily get fed up with plain bread, I decided to just toast the bread this afternoon for their snacks. 😅 Thankfully they love it toasted. Since we don't have an oven or microwave at home, I just toast it on our pan…
@eommaZel
Good morning! It's a pleasant Friday, the weather is fine and calm. And today instead of eating rice, I had fried bananas for breakfast paired with black coffee. Since I have unripe bananas at home, I waited for some to ripen, and ta-da, I fried them. 😄 I just cooked eggs for my kids' breakfast since they wanted rice for their breakfast and can't live without eating rice. 😅 How are you going to spend your Friday today? Don't forget to be grateful and awesome today. Cheers to…
@eommaZel
How are you all? I wasn't actively online today because my kids and I were with my aunt and cousins visiting a family in the neighboring barangay this afternoon. One of our grandmothers invited us to their fiesta so we all took off there. We had a great lunch and have some family talks too. It's been a while since we have seen each other. Our grandmother is enjoying her vacation here until Christmas and she will go back to the US after her vacation. So we will see each other…
@eommaZel
Finally, I’m done encoding the grades for my father. 😅 He extended the deadline until tomorrow and at last I am done. Facing the spreadsheet and numbers the whole night makes my eyes so tired. 😶 Just how time flies so fast! A few weeks to go and we’ll be celebrating Christmas, how fast is that? Do you already have decorations at home? While my kids are so excited, we already put up the Christmas tree last September. 🤣 Now we will just wait for Christmas day to come. ☺
@eommaZel
Nilagang saba at kapeng matapang for breakfast 😁 It's Sunday already and tomorrow we’ll be facing the new busy week. 😉 As of the moment, while enjoying my breakfast, I am here sitting outside on the veranda to catch some fresh air. It was a very pleasant day, I could hear the birds singing and the noise of the busy road too. While relaxing here, I am thinking about what should I do first after my breakfast, I guess I could write something today hehe. By the way, good morning…
@eommaZel
What's up! This was our viand earlier for lunch. The kids and I enjoyed our simple meal earlier. Now they are busy playing outside, and despite the hot sunny weather, they are not bothered by their sweat. 😅 Just like we used to as kids, we enjoyed playing under the sun and don't mind our smell after. Being a kid is indeed one of my fun chapters. Now I just enjoyed watching my boys enjoying their childhood. 🤗

“Appreciating Littlest Things” `November 13, 2022` `Sunday` All the life endeavors, busyness, and other stuff that preoccupy me sometimes make me forget to be appreciative of the simplest aspects around me. I couldn’t deny, that these past few months, I find myself being too concentrated on the obligations of being a parent which somehow made me see myself just waking up because I have to because it's needed. Yet tonight after our simple dinner, while my husband and I were…
@eommaZel
A pleasant evening to all, after some contemplating tonight, I am so happy I have written an article with my face smiling all the time. ☺ Despite my low phone battery life, I managed to finish this article for today. I’ll just leave the link to my latest writing. I would be so happy and grateful if you visited it. 🤗🌸 https://read.cash/@eommaZel/appreciating-littlest-things-1c21a94b

Look who is clingy tonight, he probably missed sleeping on my lap that’s why he interrupted me while cleaning my nails. Coco a few days ago seldom sleeps here because he's in heat, we just let him find his mate before I am very worried if ever my neighbors will get irritated with him if ever by chance he visits their house especially if they have female cats. However, I am thankful that my neighbors recognized Coco as our cat so he didn't go home with any scars. But just a…
@eommaZel
We are having a rainy day today, the surrounding is so peaceful, I could hear some chirping birds but it's incomparable to the sunny weather. I read a news article today saying there will be two possible weather disturbances this month. Hopefully, they won’t turn into tropical storms again. Sharing with you a fresh morning capture I snapped early by the time the rain stopped. The new week of classes started yesterday making me a little preoccupied yesterday. Don't forget…
@eommaZel
Walking is one of the best things I could do in the morning. Whenever I walk with my family, stroll around, and wander on a fresh peaceful morning, my day feels so complete. Early this morning, since the weather was so fine and calm, we decided to walk on the newly built promenade near the river in the heart of the town. This was inspired by Iloilo City’s esplanade and they did great in making our town so beautiful. Maybe, because we have chosen good officials to handle our…
@eommaZel
Just got home from the hypermarket. It's my son's 6th birthday today, and I went to the market to buy his cake and icecream for the celebration later. It will be just a simple celebration since there are still classes and most of the family is at work. We are not expecting visitors too because it's weekdays. What matters most is that, he will be happy, seeing him so delighted makes us all happy too. ☺
@eommaZel
Good eve! How are you guys? I’ve been preoccupied since last Wednesday. There were so many happenings in my real-world venture, as a mom and an encoder of my father, lol. Now, I am facing the screen again, doing some excel work needed to be done by tonight too. 😅 Hoping I could cope with my missed days here, my goodness. By the way good evening! 😘
@eommaZel
My father dropped by today and get the grades he asked me to do. Finally, I am done with the spreadsheet. 🤣 Honestly, though using a spreadsheet is very convenient because of formulas etc, I just don't like facing it the whole time, seeing the bars make my eyes dizzy. But I have no choice, I have to hehe. Before he left, he handed me this wristwatch, it looks classy but I am not fond of wearing one, it's also a class A, not authentic but it's the thought that counts they…
@eommaZel
We got up so early in the morning today and my youngest walked with me to the nearest sari-sari store to buy eggs for breakfast. They requested eggs, sunny side up, and scrambled eggs, and our stock is already consumed. While going home, I took a snap of our calm neighborhood earlier in the morning. The sun had just peeked into the sky at this moment. 🙂 Indeed a fine beginning, now it's a bit gloomy here.

Have you heard of or tasted Bangus Sardines? My Aunt handed me this dish called Bangus Sardines made by the farmers during their livelihood program. My aunt is working for NIA or National Irrigation Association and they are always serving, giving programs, and even hearing legal solutions to the landowners, especially the farmers. And yesterday and today, they held a program for the farmers to try as a livelihood, and here is their product. She gave me some so I could taste…

Let's all start our day with gratefulness, and fill our hearts with gratitude, on this new day given to us, we are all blessed to wake up healthful and breathing. I am thankful to see these greens around me, the shining sun saying it will be a good day, and see my family happy and healthy, my day is already made. It's Monday again, and this is one of the busiest days of the week for some of us, yet despite the busyness, we all have never forgotten to smile and conquer any…
@eommaZel
Hello! I am not too busy today so I got a chance to spend some time here again hehe. How are you guys? We are having sunny weather today, thankfully there's no rain, so my laundered clothes would be dried up faster. ☺ Aside from us, Ginger is enjoying the sunny day too. She's sunbathing on this old linoleum outside. She's busy resting while her other pals are busy playing. ☺ We’re already done with our lunch, and now we're just relaxing a little to digest what we have…

The day is now saying its farewell, and the sun is setting leaving this lustrous hue of the purplish sky for me to enjoy. It's been a while since I saw a wonderful color in the dusk sky, for almost a month, I didn't have any fresh capture of the twilight. And tonight, as the evening says his greeting through this hue, I am a bit satisfied with how I spent my day. Though I am not productive online, I fulfilled satisfactorily my responsibilities in the real world today. Spent…

It's coffee time! Who else here loves having coffee at night? This is my common scenario every night, on or before 9 pm, I should be sipping a hot coffee after a tiring day. ☺ And because we still have pandesal left from our snacks this afternoon, it would be nice to consume them with a hot coffee. The night is so silent at the moment, and I guess while sipping this creamy coffee I have, I am missing the old Christmas vibes before when I could hear children roaming around…
@eommaZel
A chilly morning it is! It rained early a while ago, and now this forecast is accurate since as of the moment it's cloudy here. I haven't gotten up on the bed yet, I am still hugging my warm pillows, but to see the time, it's already past 6 o'clock I need to prepare breakfast. 😅 Happy Thursday everyone! 🤗
@eommaZel
A fresh from the garden photograph! A tiny drop on a leaf. Since it rained earlier this morning, I looked for something outside to capture today. And gladly, I saw this tiny water drop that is about to drip at any moment. It's very cold indeed today, I could feel that the Christmas season is about to enter soon. I am still cooking pancit canton for breakfast, the kids requested this for their breakfast today, maybe they miss eating canton. So I just bought them what they…
@eommaZel
Our kind neighbor invited us for a lunch today at their house. Their father is celebrating his 82nd birthday today and they prepared food for the celebration. It was sudden and honestly, I already cooked our viand supposedly for lunch which was fried chicken, but because they invited us, I just save it for dinner later. 😊 They hired a catering service for the lunch and there were so many foods to choose from, but then I tasted all of them lol. We had chicken cordon bleu,…
@eommaZel
It rained blessings today! Not only BCH but also free foods on our part. 🤗 Unexpectedly, our neighbor who invited us for lunch at their house handed us some of their extra food before dinner. I was cooking chicken adobo when they gave us some bihon guisado, 3 cups of fruit salads, and lechong baboy (roasted pig). I kept the roasted pig for my husband since he was still at work. And I decided to just save the chicken adobo for tomorrow, and the timing is just too perfect too…

It's so hot today and this ice cream is just perfect for my tired body. I just got home from school and attended the meeting and the card day too. There were lots of stuff discussed today including the Christmas party. It was a tiring morning and I hope this will be the last meeting this year indeed as what the adviser wished for too. There is no exact date for the Christmas party, yet they already held a meeting regarding it. And each parent pledged to bring their own food,…
@eommaZel
Just woke up from a nap, I didn't notice my eyes just closed their eyes while putting my secondborn to sleep earlier. Maybe my body is indeed tired. While getting back to my senses, I scrolled down to my phone’s gallery and at the bottom part, I saw my old captures of the sunset. During this time, when I took a photograph of the sunset every afternoon with my cousins from a neighboring barangay, my life was so stressful. And this was the only way for me to lessen my stress.…
@eommaZel
The solar bulbs on the veranda are now on, which means there is total darkness now, the night has started. Though it's already evening, the air is still hot, I am sweating so badly. Maybe I need to take a half bath earlier after dinner. How’s your day guys? I had a tiring day hehe, but since I replenished some energy from my nap this afternoon, I hope I could concentrate well on writing later. I’ve been away from doing articles for almost how many weeks now. 😅 By the way,…
@eommaZel
The weather is so fine today, and I am happy that I rested well after the tiring day I had yesterday. And the perfectly blue sky makes the perfect background for my photograph today. ☺ This heart-shaped leaf stood out in this shot. I truly enjoy clicking snaps of nature, may it be sunsets, skies, trees, and even tiny leaves or sprouts. Something is fascinating with them every time I take a shot of them. ☺ Hope you like this click I have for you today. 🤗
@eommaZel
Dinner’s done and my husband cooked sweet and sour meatballs for us tonight. I couldn't deny that he is very good at cooking. After he came back home from work, he immediately cooked these meatballs as he promised me last night. ☺ Though it's lacking some ingredients it tastes really good. The kids love it and I do too, we had a satisfying dinner tonight, a complete family with a delicious viand. ☺ Now I am currently putting my secondborn to sleep, while my eldest requested…

A few more days to go and it's December! What makes you excited about this upcoming Christmas? Me, I am very excited to see my hometown filled with colorful and playful lights again. After the pandemic, the festival here was postponed for consecutive years. Our hometown is known as The Christmas Capital of Western Visayas and everyone is very welcome to attend, witness, and feel the Christmas vibes here. There were a lot of foods being displayed and sold on the plaza and…
@eommaZel
Good morning! It's coffee time. ☺ It's kinda cold today, maybe because Christmas is officially entering soon. 💗 There is no class today for my kindergarten boy, they are scheduled for a diagnostic test, and tomorrow morning is his schedule. As of the moment, I am relaxing in the garden, feeling the cold breeze while sipping a hot creamy coffee. This is the best feeling to start the day.
@eommaZel
I slept and rested early yesterday to prepare my body early today. My son has a diagnostic test early at 7:30 this morning and they will be dismissed at 10:30 later. But before anything else, I wanted to share with you the dusk sky I captured yesterday. I should've shared this yesterday but I was preoccupied with some house chores too. So, I’ll be sharing it today instead. ☺ Hopefully, today will be a blissful one. Wishing you all a happy and pleasant Tuesday! 💗
