To Market, To Market…

I can’t remember the last time I went to the market. McKenzie was so little then, Kenny carried her in a carrier.

We always buy our meat, fish and veggies at the grocery or in a nearby overpriced talipapa.

Due to the high price of veggies in the said talipapa, I’ve decided to go to the market with Manang Josie.

I had with me 1,500.00 from which I thought I could buy the food items and also some other stuff that we might need. Here’s a list of what we got:

Entrepreneurs and Freelancers Forum 2020

Fulltime WAHM since Nov 2009. My decision to become one gave birth to this blog. 😍 In 2015, my husband started KANSIS Made and I had to juggle my time between freelance work and being the business director of our micro-enterprise. In doing both plus being a hands-on mom, I've always met challenges with time management. But in every crossroad, I always remind myself of the reason why I decided to leave the corporate world and become a fulltime WAHM - to have more time with my family. I've always tried to advocate the benefits of being a fulltime WAHM to fellow moms and moms to be. I don't tire of talking about how I started as a fulltime WAHM and together with my husband, we managed to pay off the house, the car and send our daughter to school.

Unlocking the (sad) moments: Angelina

M is an only child. But not really... we have two more but both were too special, God took them back right away. Genesis is M's Kuya. I wrote about our first miscarriage in Jan 2009. In 2016, we gained another angel. But it was too painful, I managed to lock the memory in. I've spent years trying not to think about what happened. I think I erased it from my mind. Today is Angelina's 6th year in heaven. As I recover and heal, the memory of losing her is slowly coming back. 2016 It was a really busy year. It was a busy year for Kenny and KANSIS Made. It was a busy year for McKenzie. It was a busy year for me as a WAHM. We were all too busy, we didn't know I was pregnant. In August, we went to Bacolod with Ken for his Dremel Brand Ambassador stint. I had spotting when we were inflight. But I didn't really mind it. I thought my period was coming. --- these parts are still missing, I will try to add when I remember. Sep 7 we rushed M to the hospital where she was admi...

when i meet love again

when i meet love again, i hope i’ll be enough. i hope it chooses me without wanting to change me. i hope i'm exactly what it’s looking for. and if it finds out i'm a work-in-progress and a little damaged, i hope it still sees me as someone worth staying with. when i meet love again, i hope it's clear. i hope it shows up as love, not sadness in disguise or just temporary happiness posing as romance. i hope it knows that loving me means having me on my best days and also my boring, weak, and unlovable days. when i meet love again, i hope it meets me halfway. i hope it’s excited to be loved right, just as it wants to love me right. i hope it’s the one that will happily reciprocate my energy, learn my habits and languages, and go the extra mile to show me what i deserve. and finally, when i meet love again, i hope this time it’s meant to last
