Mommy Ning

Weekdays are busy days for me. These are days for my never-ending chores, mom duties and blogging. I also get to teach the kids few informal lessons and practice their fine motor skills and also limited screen time. But for two days in a week, I try my best to make them busy having fun and just be kids. And these two days are the so-called weekends. When I was a kid I always look forward to weekends because it was the time I get to play all day long and watch cartoons. If given also a chance, we watch movies in cinemas and dine out in fastfood chain and just spend the usual family day. I love weekends. Who doesn’t anyway? I am sharing with you my top three reasons why I look forward to it. Rest Days . Who says SAHMs doesn’t deserve a rest day? As what I have mentioned, weekdays are the busiest for me so I try to allot two days in a week to be carefree wherein I can just close my eyes for the towering laundry, dirty dishes at the sink, tons of unfolded clothes and messy floor. If I cann...

“He should be potty trained already.” This was my mom’s statement about my fifteen months old son then few years ago.   I was living with my parents that time when I gave birth to my daughter. My mom was the one who started to potty train my son together with my then nanny while I was trying to recover from my CS operation and nursing my daughter. Dodo was completely potty trained at the age of 26 months. It was a great fulfillment but the process wasn’t glorifying. I expected too much from him as a toddler and I have regrets of it up to this moment. The should-be fun on potty training was lost because I never looked at it as fun in the first place. I looked at it merely as stage that we both have to accomplish without enjoying it . Now that I am in the process of potty training my daughter, I promised myself that this time would be different. I won’t let pressure overwhelm me and we should both enjoy it together. Tips on potty training: Ensure the readiness of your toddler physica...

So I am still awake in this godly hour and eating pineapple upside down cake. We just finished watching movie and I put back the little girl to sleep. I apologize though if I have bombarded you with press releases the past days. I was just busy trying to finish a book. You know the feeling of not putting it down and just simply continue reading right? But if I can only do it more often while sitting on a lazy boy with a hot tea or coffee beside me everyday, then it would be bliss. But it doesn’t mean the little rowdy kids in my house doesn’t give me equal happiness, in fact we practice already moments of silence everyday wherein each of us would read books. I read a novel while the kids would scan and share each other’s books. And yeah, I love watching them, it’s just total bliss. source This cyber place of mine is two years already today. Hurraaaay! I am also a year older and wiser today. While Boboy was preoccupied of prepping for my birthday trip, it’s just so funny how he blames hi...

Architectural photography  is a specialized photography of buildings and similar structures that are both aesthetically pleasing and are accurate representations of their subjects. This photography is chiefly concerned with the accurate portrayal of the structure than the artistic merit. However, and much like any other photographic discipline, it is for me more akin to an applied science where the artistic inclinations of the photographer should be given much leeway in order for him to create his own applications, and so it goes “to each his own” in this genre of photographing. I am not a pro nor is a hobbyist, I just enjoy taking pictures of anything and everything there is to take pictures at. In this enjoyable state, I have always been intrigue by how architectural subject’s aura is affected by the play of the light especially during the night. How a seemingly harmless building becomes a haven of fear during the night, notice how most structures that are not wel...
