An Update on My Life

I know I’ve been neglecting this blog, not posting anything for quite a while. Honestly, I just haven’t had the inclination to write about anything. But I still really want to hold on to this blog. Call it sentimentality if you will but, I’ve had this blog for more than ten years! My first ever blog post was back in 2005! Imagine! Looking back, the concerns I had back then really do seem trivial compared to what I’m facing now that I’m older. But I know I’m not the only one having these kinds of challenges so I just think to myself if they can deal with it, so can I. How can I give up when I have someone who really needs me in his life and it’s no other than my son – Ryleigh. I have to be strong because he’s going to need me for a long time to come, and I’m not complaining. When I look at him and I see that he is so cheerful and happy, I feel rewarded. Rewarded because I know I’m doing something right as a parent and that makes all the sacrifices worth it, especially the times when there was only Ryle and I. 

In a few month’s time, Ryleigh’s going to be six years old and I’m proud that I was there all the time to care for and love him. I pray to God that he gives me good health and keeps us safe all the time so that I can continue to do so for years to come. 

Aside from teaching and parenting, I make sure to find time for one more thing that I love – Korean Drama! I’ve been hooked since last year. I’ve watched numerous Kdramas and I’d like to share them with whoever is reading this blog 😊 Whether you like it or not, that’s what I’m going to be posting about in the coming day!

My Korean Bingsu Experience

I've always wanted to try Korean Bingsu ever since I saw photos of it posted by some of my friends on Facebook. A few weeks ago, I was finally able to try this delicious dessert for myself. The taste did not disappoint!

 The first variety I tried was Mango Cheese Bingsu. It was very milky and not too sweet. The cheese chunks on the side blended well with the mango tidbits once they're inside your mouth.

I also tried the Blueberry Cheese  Bingsu, which was topped with whole blueberries, cheese chunks and whipping cream I think. Yummy!

But between these two flavors, what I'd order again is the Mango Cheese Bingsu. Thinking about it makes my mouth water. yummm!

A Post After Three Years

Suddenly I missed writing here. It's surely been a while since I last wrote anything substantial and honestly, a lot has happened, which is just expected since my last update here was three years ago.

Yeah 3 years! I've been that busy or maybe just lazy haha.

Anyway, like I said a lot has happened, lots of changes. For three years now I've been working as a Secondary School teacher. Being a teacher is quite challenging but I'm not going to elaborate on those challenges. If you are reading this post and yiu happen to be a teacher as well then you know what I mean.

Also my son is almost 5 years old! From that itty bitty baby in my previous posts, Ryleigh has grown so big and handsome. He looks a lot like me! I'm just so happy and thankful that he is doing so much better now especially when it comes to social interaction and school work. He's currently in Pre-Kinder. He'll be attending his first Christmas Party in school this coming week. I hope it doesn't get canceled due to bad weather.

It's almost midnight so, I'll cut the updates here. I will try my best to be more active in writing here. Missed you my blog!

Gumamelas and Daffodils

I really miss this blog of mine. Sadly I'm not able to update it as frequently as I'd like to due to parental obligations mostly. It's also even difficult to work these days because taking care of my son takes up most of my time. My Ryleigh is now 10 months old and is now very mobile. Though he cannot walk on his own yet he can crawl fast already. I have to keep my eyes on him every minute for fear he'll tumble and hurt himself seriously. The only time I can relax is when he's in his crib or when he's asleep. Even when he's in his walker I have to watch him carefully. He's heavy now and so when he reaches for something on the side the walker tips over. He tipped twice already poor thing but luckily he was not hurt seriously; it was more like he was startled by what happened. Motherhood its not easy!

But anyway, this afternoon we took a walk to my Grandpa's place and I saw the red Gumamelas in bloom! The daffodils too! I could not resist so I took some photos of them. Luckily my phone was with me :)
Here are the pictures. Enjoy!

Miss Philippines Megan Young is Miss World 2013

I feel proud that for the first time the Philippines was able to win the top place in the Miss World competition. This year our contestant Megan Young triumphed over equally beautiful contestants from countries all over the world!

Megan placed in three of the top challenges of the Miss World competition. She won the Top Model Challenge and placed 4th and 5th in the Multimedia Challenge and Beach Fashion Challenge. With these awards, Megan was included in the Top Ten finalists. And tonight, the final judging took place.

All the Top Ten finalists did well and were very eloquent during the Q&A portion but it was Megan's answer that finally won her the coveted crown! When asked what he would do if she became Miss World, Megan's answer was"I treasure a core value of humanity and that guides people why they act the way they do. I will use this to show other people how they can understand each other. As one, we can help society."

Congratulations Megan! You did our country proud!

Delectable Strawberry

Been a while since I posted something here. I've been so busy but I kinda miss this space so here I am posting a little something.

I took this photo this morning with my Lenovo P700i phone.

This is my mother's strawberry. This is the first strawberry to ripen. Looks delectable doesn't it?
