McKenzie and Mikayla at the Barbie Live! Show

I was lucky to receive complimentary VIP tickets to the Barbie Live! Opening Show last Dec 11, 2013 at the MOA Arena. There were 5 tickets so I went there with McKenzie, Ate Donna, Mikayla and Mama.

The show starts at 11am so it was challenging on the schedule again. I had to prepare McKenzie's outfit and bag the night before.

McKenzie has class from 8am- 10am so I had to prepare 2 bags- our regular going out bag and a bag for the clothes she'd wear for the show. We picked her up 10mins earlier than her dismissal with the hope that they'd let her class go home early.

The moment McKenzie saw me, she was grinning and excitedly said to me: "We're soo soo late Mom, Come On!"

I had to change her clothes inside the car and since everything was planned the night before, it was a breeze.

Ate Donna, Mama and Mikayla were already waiting so I just went to get our tickets and led the group in. McKenzie and Mikayla were so excited to go inside the arena together.


Our seats are in the VIP section 6 rows from the stage. Awesome view. We let the 2 girls sit near the aisle.

Shopping for Souvenirs


Ate Donna bought Mariposa Wings for them (P650.00 each) and we each got them a Barbie Live! exclusive bag that contains a tin pencil case, water container and an official Barbie fan ID with lace. (P1, 000 each)

The little girls were so happy!

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
