The Life of Kye

Though I sympathize with the employees, I really don't buy all the drama being circulated about ABS-CBN signing off. We understand that a lot of people are so emotionally invested in "teleserye's" and "artista's" and you have every right to voice out your frustration. By all means, rant to your heart's content. Free speech. It's your right.

It's always a lovely sight seeing couples grow old together.

What does a day in the life of an architect/artist/blogger/doodler/housewife look like? Prepare to be blown away! Or not. Just kidding! Ideally, I wake up at 5:00 AM. Hubby and I start the day right by prayers and reading the Bible. We're not consistent, but we try our best to do this everyday. (But most days, he wakes up to pick up supplies and I go back to sleep.) I'm a very slow reader. I'm already behind schedule. There are times when I'm too lazy to read. Sometimes I am just too busy or trying to struggling to meet a deadline. I'm either too lazy or too busy.

What do you plan to do this weekend? via GIPHY What I'm actually doing...

What happens when a natural homebody marries a nomad?

I have been warned about him. Still, I chose him. I remember one stressful afternoon. The pastor called me up telling me, "Huwag ka na sasama kay Roy. [Stay away from him] He's b*llsh*t." He repeated the same unprintable words with more unprintable words but with the same message. I have to stay away from him. Pastor said so. Then he hung up. I was still shocked. Why would he say those things? Why would a pastor call up a church member to bad-mouth another? And why would a pastor even bad-mouth anybody? Is my friend that despicable? I couldn't respond to him while he was still ranting. After the call, I tried to internalize the conversation. There was so much disappointment and hatred in his voice. I simply assumed that the pastor and Roy had an argument and I hoped for it to be resolved. But for him to call me up and bad-mouth my friend... that really confused me. It confused me about how I see him as a pastor. It confused me of how I see Roy. ...

It's been months after our wedding and this is the only time I'll be writing a review about it. I was too happy... AND BUSY to write a review. Hubby and I even had to skip on our honeymoon. Besides processing marriage-related papers, we were also busy passing requirements for starting a new business and setting up a new home. via GIPHY Maybe it's a blessing that I'm only writing this now.  Our reviews will be less exaggerating and more insightful and objective for couples who are yet to marry. Married life can be overwhelming. In our case, it all happened so fast, it's hard to slow down and just remember where it all began. In a month, we launched a store, moved into an apartment unit, and got a furbaby - a chihuahua named Xena. The following month, we got pregnant (and eventually lost the baby) . It felt like being catapulted to harsh reality as soon as our wedding ended. The magic isn't supposed to end after the wedding day. It isn't s...

Estimated between 9 to 11 weeks pregnant now and I'm still in shock. image from  PIXABAY When I found out, I was on the fifth or seventh week. My husband and I never thought I would conceive this early in our marriage. He's diabetic. I have long and irregular cycle. My age is at the end of the calendar. We were actually conditioning our minds to accept the possibility of not having a child. Until I found out...

By August, Roy and I had everything planned out. (We got engaged in July) We already have a theme, a motif, possible locations, and a partial guest list. We also wrote down the budget for everything plus contingencies. It's a blessing how smoothly the planning goes. I am blessed with a fiance who gives me all the creative freedom from the styling of venue down to the smallest details of the invitations. I am enjoying it. It feels fulfilling when both of us agree with certain wedding considerations. I took the liberty of creating a "website" just for our wedding. Technically, it's a blog, but made to appear like a website. Blogger is the platform I used. I followed  Em for Marvelous ' tutorial. Coffee and candy. Bitter and Sweet.
