I just finished my first 10k race. For someone like me, whose only running experience is a few 100 m races in school (ok, I usually finished something like the second last and I only did it for the sake of some sports participation) and barely 1 km every now and then, half-heartedly, just to …

I’m Limited!
I finally came to this amazing realization that I cannot do everything. I want to be able to make healthy meals for my family, keep the house in perfect order, be on time for everything, spend quality time with my family while nourishing the little baby growing inside me... and get enough sleep for myself. …
The Perfect Parent
Just like any parent, I get a lot of advice and inputs on how to parent my children. Some asked, some unasked. As a young mom, it is true that I need to learn how to discipline kids, what to feed them, how to potty train, and a whole list of "how-to's". And then I do …
What Should I Say?
I don't have anything to say. Actually, I don't have much to say. But, when I started blogging about a year ago, it seemed like I had a lot to say. And now, suddenly, it seems like I am out of ideas. I would have a great idea and then I would sit down to draft my blog …
My Dishwasher Experiment
"I would never use the dishwasher again" I told myself, and I kept at it for at least two years. Well, many many people never use a dishwasher all their lives, and I had never seen one till four years ago. I was quite convinced that all our plates, spoons, pots and pans could still be clean enough …
Breaking the Long Silence
Six months away from blogging is a long time! Finally, I decided to get back to it. It already feels good to be back at my desk drafting my blog post after all these weeks! Ok, I have to admit that last sentence was a bit of an overstatement. The truth is, I have been …
Give Thanks
It's almost been a week since Thanksgiving, and it's time to get into the Christmas season. But I am going to talk about our Thanksgiving weekend in today's post. This was the first time our family participated in a traditional Thanksgiving meal. No, I didn't do the cooking. Our friends so graciously invited us to join …
Mind, the Magnifier
That Saturday evening, I returned home in the evening feeling bad about my mistake. It was the same Saturday I mentioned about in last week's blog post, and I had almost arrived at the church, which was the venue for the day's training. I was still in my car, driving at a slow pace, wondering if I should park in that …
To List or Not to List?
Last Saturday was a kind of day off for me. By that, I don't mean I got to stay in bed the whole day. That would be good, but I wonder if I would stay in bed when my kids and husband are at home. Sometimes, I act like I am the one responsible for everything that …
How I View Time Now
After our second son was born, our family had to get into a working routine a month after his birth, all by ourselves. My mom stayed with us for a month, and I was quite nervous about handling everything after she left. My husband would leave for work in the morning and return in the evening. …
