Since we enjoyed our first AirBnB experience, we thought that celebrating our youngest son’s birthday with another AirBnB booking was a great idea. This time, we decided to book a unit owned by our friends, Martel and Alelie, at SM Light Residences. Alelie told us ahead that the unit is so much smaller than the one we previously booked, but we didn’t mind. I read the feedback their very satisfied clients left on the site about their unit so we were confident that the place would be nice. (READ: A Birthday and an AirBnB staycation) Besides, smaller’s fine with us. We’re only […]
Our eldest recently turned 11 and he didn’t want a cake. He just wanted an additional model to add to his Gundam collection and put together for his video channel. He says he’s not much into cakes and would much rather have ice cream instead. So okay, we got him his Gundam and we had Ice Cream, but since his birthday falls on a holiday, we decided on having a staycation. We originally planned to check into Island Cove and give the kids a little nature kick, but it’s been raining a lot since the beginning of the month and we felt […]
Bellarocca happened in the summer of 2015. The place was straight out of my dreams. You might be thinking it’s probably because I’ve not been in too many resorts in my life, but it’s not that. Whatever seeming barrenness the renovation at that time brought about was filled out by my imagination. We went with friends. It was an 8-hour drive (one way) with a ride on a RORO ship. We all rode the resorts’ service going there so we can all rest along the way. I usually don’t commit to such trips unless we have our own car to […]
I almost didn’t go. I honestly didn’t want to because of the major adjustment the family had to make to let me go on a 3-day team building trip at Puerto Del Sol with Spiralytics, a digital marketing company I write for on a freelance basis. But it was my husband who encouraged me to go and have my first ever “me time” away from my children and the family in years. Those who know me really well, a.k.a. my best friend and a few confidantes, understand exactly how big of a challenge this was for me….. But there are […]
Yes, you’ve read it right. I’m 40 and just when I thought I’d get depressed over it, the tide went the other way. It’s been one heck of a ride getting here, but God’s been truly faithful in every single day. I’m excited! My life is, again, beginning. And since it’s such a milestone, I wanted to spend it with my husband and kids at F1 Hotel in BGC, using the FREE staycation voucher I won from Phenomenal Mama. Well hello there, neighbor! We shall see you soon. 🙂 #staycation #winner #family A photo posted by May De Jesus-Palacpac (@fullyhousewifed) on Apr 2, 2015 […]
