McKenzie in K1: Our First Family Day in SEIS



Today, we experienced for the first time Family Day in St. Edward Integrated School.



We're in the green team, following McKenzie's team during their sports fest. Families who have several kids followed the color of the eldest.


There's a family mass in the morning and we were asked to be one of their class' representatives for the offertory.

There was a limit of 2 family members per kid so the school grounds weren't too crowded.


We had to bring McKenzie to her classroom because they need to prepare for their field demonstration. Kenny and I had quick breakfast at the canteen before proceeding to the gym.

There were booths selling food, toys, clothes and home stuff while some offered services like face paint and photo booth.

After their dance number, McKenzie and her classmate Kate ate lunch at the canteen before going back to the classroom to play.


We chose to go around the game booths rather than stay at the gym for the family games. A ticket for the game booths costs 5 pesos. Not bad.

I was amazed at how McKenzie played at the Nerf shooting booth. She held the gun with one hand and was able to land 5 out of 6 bullets on the target. I used to be a member of the UP RPT so I am extremely proud that McKenzie is showing some potential for my sport.


We tried their photo booth. She wanted to try the face paint booth too but the line was really long.


Kenny watched the basketball games while we stayed in McKenzie's classroom. She was having a fun time playing with her classmates.

We went to the 2nd Floor and found a Kiddie Salon that did their hair and make up for Free! She was so happy because it was her first time.


We joined her dad at the gym and watched basketball. We left in the middle of the second game because we were tired already. We dropped off her classmate at their home and took a long nap when we got home.

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
