So I finally watched the movie that everyone’s been talking about (i.e. those who have watched the movie and loved/hated it, and those who haven’t watched the movie but also have opinions on it). I decided that before making any comments myself, I should watch it. In any case, I wanted to recognise the huge, …
We’ve been reading children’s bible passages every evening to our boys. Today, my husband Ron chose a passage on how Jesus loves children, and read it to our younger son Paul. When he elaborated that this meant Jesus loved Paul, Paul repeated, “Jesus loves me??” And he looked so chuffed, he literally rolled over in …
One of my biggest gripes, as almost anyone who’s worked closely with me knows, is the lack of a standard way to share knowledge on a platform that is accessible to the people who need it. It should be shared in a way that strikes a balance between having enough details without losing the gist …
After various server and blog problems this year, including haggling with an increasingly disengaged web host which I will no longer recommend, I (too hastily) deleted the WordPress blog I had set up and re-imported my old Movable Type archives. So I’ve lost some posts between 2014-2017. No biggie there. Hope this works and stays …
After largely ignoring my blogs for much of the past few years, I realised that my web server was upgraded to the point that my outdated blog software doesn’t run properly on it anymore. After using Movable Type for so many years, and bearing with the complexities of upgrading to newer versions, I have decided …
Much has happened since my last post. I’ve given up trying to write the perfect update that would reflect the activities during the several months’ hiatus from blogging. In short, I’m now the mother of a precocious 5 month old boy who is just as active outside the womb as he was inside it. Life …
I’ve come to learn that babies like to change positions while inside the womb. And sometimes, they simply like staying where they are. For the past few days, my baby has been happily lying horizontally across my tummy, with his head on my left and his feet on my right. I can tell because the …
So I’m now 4.5 months pregnant and my yet-to-be-named baby (whom I shall refer to as ‘Baby’ with a capital B) seems to have a mind of his own. How so? Let me count the ways… This Sunday morning at mass, the priest asked all fathers to stand up so he could say a special …
It was delightful to receive emails from a few of you who read my blog posts recently. Thanks for your well wishes. It is all the more a relief to me as I wondered if anyone still reads blog posts – it is so much more convenient these days to log into Facebook and view …
I’m writing this past the stroke of midnight. Looking back, a lot has happened in the past year. I got engaged. We looked for a new home. Last November, we got married. We renovated our new home this March and moved in, a month later. Looking forward, I’m still on the right side of 30 …
