A Little Tweak On My Alignment

-

Since our kids started their school break, I have been quite lax about keeping fit. Lately, right after lunch, my afternoon activities include sitting on the couch tinkering with my ipad while my grader watches an hour or two of his favorite cartoon shows. "Bonding" moment is really a lame excuse for this sedentary (non)activity. And it even turns from bad to worse when we start raiding the pantry and the ref for munchies and junk food. Ayayay!

A few days back, I weighed myself prior to attending my usual yoga class. The scale tipped at four pounds over my last weight. No surprise there after the junk food binge eating and hours of sitting, right? Still, my jaw dropped south when I saw the effect of backsliding. 2 kilos heavier!?! This could not go on. Time to get a grip on myself.

So... I began cutting my portions like I used to and went as far as checking out Emeals's weekly menu plan for food ideas to break the usual fare. I bought a yoga app too so I could do my practice at home when I don't feel like dressing up and driving to the studio. Little steps to get me back on track and keep the weight from creeping back again.

I can do this.

Angels Are All Around Us

by Junnie Metro Manila is still wet. Some parts are still with knee-deep waters. One thing we have going for us is that we have strong faith that this too shall pass, and that the Filipino will rise above. It is October already and it seemed that no one noticed that we arrived Manila last Monday at the heels of the weekend Typhoon Ondoy visited the country. This week we celebrated the feast of the Archangels - Raphael, Michael and Gabriel, and last Thursday, we celebrated the feast of our Guardian Angels. What a whole week of heroic deeds from Pinoys helping their kababayans, and for all the angels in our lives. :)

School and a Mixed Bag of Emotions

"You can’t imagine your life with kids, until you have them, then you can’t imagine your life without them." ~Author Unknown It's been a week since two of our three sons flew to Manila to attend their classes. Even with the (remaining) 9 year old son at home, doing his usual stuff alternately watching tv, tinkering with his Legos, cutting/ folding/ creating things with paper and playing with the iPad, and making a ruckus all by his lonesome, the house is, weirdly, quiet. I often find myself introspecting... about the nest almost empty now and other similar thoughts. And I struggle to stop myself from wallowing in a mixed bag of emotions. It's not a bad thing, except, I could waste hours doing that. I thought I was totally in control and could dismiss the situation as another milestone, like seeing your child lose his first baby tooth. Nothing a warm hug or an ice cream could not fix. On the contrary, that hug at this time just exacerbates the yearning. It

by Linnor When the boys are home, their room doesn't stay as orderly as the pic above.  Mistulang binagyo kapag silang lahat ay nasa loob ng kanilang asul na kwarto. :) Merong nag-gigitara, merong nagko-kompyuter at merong naglalaro ng Lego.  Sa madaling sabi, pag nasa silid sila, talagang di maiiwasan ang pagiging makalat nito.  :P Anyway, at least nasa bahay lang sila at hindi nagbabarkada sa labas. Pero sa totoo lang, after a long day at work or from school, it's always nice to come home to a clean house.  Ang sarap magpahinga sa maayos na kabahayan pagkatapos ng mahabang araw  di ba?
