Autumn, Let go
My favourite season is spring and autumn. In spring we have new beginnings and blossoms. Now, that it is autumn or fall the people call it. Contemplating with the four seasons we have here in Europe, I took time writing things I am thankful for this season. There are so many unpredictable situations happening in the world. We cannot control what is next. But the important lessons I have learned in this season is to let go. It is easy to say but then when your heart has issues, questions and sometimes emotions are happening inside the human brain, we can struggle with this. It takes courage and bravery to…

Laia’s First Airplane Ride
It is always hard for us to travel during Laia’s early age as a baby. That is why there are so many flight and vacation that has been cancelled. Like during 2016, our Philippines trip.

TRAVEL CLINIC CONSULTATION: WHY IS IT NECESSARY BEFORE TRAVELLING?
It is pretty exciting to come back to my country after four years of being away from my parents and siblings when I finally decided to move to Belgium with my husband. Now, having a baby is another story. We would like to be very careful, for she is born here and with all the atmosphere we have in the Philippines for a toddler from another country-we decided to have a consultation at the Children’s Hospital, here in University Hospital, Brussels. Laia has completed all her Kind en Gezin vaccines and there are a lot of questions in my mind a new Mom with regards to precautions that we have…

When The Light Is Dim
“No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.”1 John 4:12 We often want to see the light or either way others to see our lights. We want to be recognized and acknowledge. But little that we know that before asking for acknowledgement, our Lord God sees us. His light is with us even ours is dimmed. In our low days, God wants us to be in that situation to see the how His love will shine inside our hearts. How much would we choose to remain in his power despite us not seeing our…

The Smurfs Turns 60!
As we are living in Belgium we are interested in knowing facts about our country. Learning about Tin Tin, Mannequin Pis, beer, chocolates, waffles and many other more Belgian stuff. One of our favourites is The Smurfs- are Belgian made by a comic designer 1958, which I saw later of my age as a young adult in movies. The Smurfs (French: Les Schtroumpfs; Dutch: De Smurfen) is a Belgian comic franchise centred on a fictional colony of small, blue, human-like creatures who live in mushroom-shaped houses in the forest. The Smurfs was first created and introduced as a series of comic characters by the Belgian comics artist Peyo (the pen…

Celebrating Laia’s Birthday at Efteling
I was never a fan of a theme park when I was in the Philippines until I had my own child. We were thinking of a good idea what to do for Laia’s second birthday celebration in which she will enjoy and learn at the same time. My husband Marlon, thought of a theme park and then we have looked at what is nearby that can be magical for a little girl like our dear Laia. We came up with a list we have looked at over the internet and we found Efteling! Our stay was planned out to be a long weekend, we stayed at Hotel Van der Valk…

Surviving Toddlers Consecutive Sickness
Should I say surviving because it has literally given us so many challenges and then here we are surviving the last days at the hospital? Ah! Positively we have the grace of the Lord and our strength and sanity are sustain through his grace. A young mother in me, having so many things to attend to.

The key is a calm husband (laughs) like he tells me to breathe, sleep, relax, I will bring you everything you need and so…

Laia’s First Photoshoot Experience with Gold Fish, Kids Webstore
Nowadays, it is now on the trend to have diversity when it comes to faces of clothing brands and models. I would like to say that I am a big fan of modelling since then, and I wonder if my daughter would be pretty on wearing clothes for brands. Since she is too young, we don’t really want her to be tired of too many photo shoots. It was all trying to see a good dress for her coming second birthday, and it happened that one of a very good clothing shop for kids online that I am following is welcoming fresh faces for their clothes to be worn. Gold…
