Today is a weekend and my parents are home this week so we went out on a rare family dinner. This is a treat of me and my sisters to our parents. This is just a way to let them know that we appreciate all their sacrifices to help us get where we are today. The food is great for its price and we are really full at the end of the night.
I keep a lot of things that belonged to my mother. I can’t throw them away, even if I don’t use them. They mean a lot to me. I have a macramé needle, and I have two knitting needles that my mother used to knit curtains and tablecloths. I have her little thimble, from when she used to sew our clothes. There are so many little things that remind me of her. 😔
This is the one thing in my home that almost every guest notices and asks about. ❤️ It has a special place in our home and carries memories that make it even more meaningful to me. ✨🏡
I remember when I was in sixth grade, during the last term, I was so tired of getting bullied that I decided I didn't want to govto school anymore. So there were days where I would just lie to my grandma so I won't have to go to school, and just stay at home. Then my aunt asked me why I haven't been going to school and if I was being bullied. I answered no. But I was genuinely touched by her sincere concern. And growing up, we didn't live with our parents, so for some…
My youngest sibling came to visit us today and brought the kids along. 🥰 And of course, they ended up buying a Family Pan of Jollibee Spaghetti! 🍝❤️ You know how it is—everything feels more fun when there’s Jollibee Spaghetti on the table. 😄 So, come and eat with us, guys! Nothing beats enjoying good food with family. 🥰🍝
The smell of burnt wood's smoke on my clothes brings me back to the summer vacations we spend at our grandparents'. They use charcoal and dried wood when cooking, so all the food has this bit of smoky taste, my hair smelling like roasted chicken. Their house always had the lingering smell of roasted meat and the burnt bottom of rice. The smell used to itch my nose, and it still does until now, but it's accompanied with the longing to see the people cooking and causing the…
the smell of freshly cooked rice, maggi noodles, fried egg, or even dried fish being fried takes me straight back to childhood. my mama was working in manila while my papa’s work was in the province, so he was the one taking care of us. i was in 2nd grade back then, and i still remember the smell of the breakfast he would cook for us in the morning.
No matter what anyone tells me, there’s nothing in the world more valuable than the time you spend with the people you love. Nothing can buy your child’s genuine smile, your wife’s affection, or your parents’ advice. Whenever you can, spend time with your loved ones. No amount of gold, Bitcoin, or diamonds can buy the love of family. Have a nice afternoon, friends. 💙
A Glimpse of My Childhood Looking back at this old photo brings so many memories. The little girl at the lower left was me, just 7 years old, during a Tondo fiesta. The baby boy being carried by my mom is my brother, while the tall girl beside us is my eldest sister. We may not have had perfect photos or fancy celebrations, but these memories are priceless. Time has passed, and we have all grown older, but this little snapshot keeps a beautiful piece of our childhood alive.…
The oldest thing I have is a ceramic jar brought from my mother's maternal grandfather's house. It was originally bought in Kolkata during the British era. My grandmother's father used to work in Kolkata and brought some ceramic items back to Bangladesh from there. I had asked my grandmother for that ceramic jar, and she gave it to me. I am attaching a picture of that jar which I have with me. This is the oldest thing I own.
Hubby's request. 🥰🫰🏻
Be the light that shines in the darkness. We celebrated my husband’s birthday last week but the kid has been requesting that she misses to go to a zoo.
little scoop of happiness. 🍨💕🤤🥰
Today, coffee is more than just coffee. I was with my siblings, sitting in a coffee shop, like I was saying, "I have time for you." We had a chance to catch up, listen to their stories, and enjoy the moment together. Because in life, time is one of the most valuable things we can give someone. So we need to always try to make time. So if someone asks you, “Coffee?” maybe they're not just asking for a drink. Maybe they're asking to spend a little time with you. ❤️
None, Shared one room with 3 other siblings and mom and dad 😂 so there wes nothing like my own space to decorate. I do have a separate room now, one wall is filled with sticky notes 😂
Lola’s Love Supremacy: A Love That Lasts Forever When people talk about unconditional love, one of the first people that comes to my mind is my grandmother. There is something special about a grandmother’s love that makes it different from any other kind of love. It is gentle, patient, comforting, and always present. This is why I believe in “Lola’s Love Supremacy.” No matter how old we become, our grandmothers continue to care for us as if we were still little children. A…
Don't Wait Until It's Too Late. The Most Valuable One Is The Person Who Cooks For You. As long as both parents are there, share them.
After a long time we had a cousin meetup today. I feel refreshed
After two months my uncle has come back home. I missed him alot
My brother got his Germany Visa. I am so happy for him
Happiest birthday to my younger brother Angelo. Stay healthy as always bro.
Just recently, my sibling opened up that he’s courting or making moves toward someone. My mother was upset since he often arrives home late. If you ask about his actions, I think it’s normal for his age. He’s already 17, for God’s sake. By the way, I remember writing an article here before mentioning that he already had three exes. Take note that he was only 13 years old at that time. Although I’m not opposed to his intention to enter a relationship, he still needs parental…
Today got a busy mode because of my sister Josephine. She's sending her monthly support for my mother. Thank you sister!
Because of winter holidays am too much busy with my sister and cousins especially because of their school projects😭.
Happy morning and today is my sister's birthday. Wishing the best for my favorite sister Josephine a wonderful birthday and good health always.
Good morning!! Today is our family reunion in my father's side! I can't wait to meet my cousins. 🥹💖
Home, sweet home. Nothing feels better than being in the midst of your people. After all the bustling and hustling of the year, one should take time to reunite with family and reminisce on how the year had been. Eat on a round table and if possible, discuss on a bottle wine. Home is sweet.
My sister's winter holidays started from today and will end after two weeks. Am feeling sad today now I will tolerate her for 24 hours for next 14 days😹. When she is in home I can't complete any task at time🥲.
Hy everyone. Good Morning & Happy Wednesday......⭐ As usual my morning started after talking with my brother on call for more than 1 hour. Main conversation is between my brother and mother. But I sit with my Mom because I don't want to skip any topic of their gossip😻😹.
It's the second day of novena for tatay's 40 days. I feel pity looking at my son crying after the novena. My 5 years old son suddenly missed his Lolo and can't stop his tears🥺
After dinner, my mom asked if the Yakult was expired. I checked it and saw it was already four days past the date. My sibling stopped drinking probiotics at quite some time, so it was left untouched. I joked that it was another result of her selfishness (it's joke only). This happens often because she also kept a Toblerone that expired in the fridge, yet we still ate it. She even hid Milo in a container and only brought it out when visitors came. She said they had been…
Good afternoon everyone it December 3 already how time flies. I have only 3 wishes for my family this December. I will not tell because I want it to come true. Simple wishes make us genuinely happy if it will come true.

We're here at my parents home! Thanks God for the safe travel🙏
Eldest son been travelling now to Davao. Hope he can go home this coming Christmas.
Good morning ! I have to wake up early ,I have a lot of things to do. We're going to my parents home today to celebrate my parents 60th birthday. Sad to say that we only stay there for 1 night and 1 day coz my kids have classes.
My eldest son just surprised us, he didn't tell me that he will going home. It's been few months that his been far away on us because of work.
If there's a mother, there's love.
Mother used to talk about neighboring friends and their son's work and abilities.
Happy Father's Day! A great person, has shaped me from a simple life.
Good morning everyone! I had a great birthday dinner last night, it was just simple and only fmaily exclusive but is genuine and full of love. Thanks to my husbnad for his effort in cooking and my mum and sister for donating goodies to share. I also thank God for thai wonderful opportunity, time and life.
It's not like she spends her money on what's not trading. But rather, she spends her money on buying of food; making food for the family and sustaining almost all. Even the neighboring people eats of her food. As she'd be given by them mostly.
She used to say, "Your father? Is there anytime that he don't ask for the food? Isn't it now that you've just given him food."
Mother used to say, "If you didn't know what to eat, there's food in the house."
She used to call mother, "Mama Oho!" In sounds of the words, "Mother of whole." In the tone of saying that one's caring, loving and nourishing the whole.
Being rich is not the only one gives us happiness but being with our family is my real happiness.
