Family Activities

Child of Purpose

Ultra sound room. Third pregnancy. 2008. Edric and Elijah were with me, anxious to find out if our baby was a girl. When the Sonologist announced, “It’s a boy!” My first instinct was to lock eyes with Edric and then with Elijah. When I saw them, my heart sank. They were trying so hard to … Continue reading »

Afternoon Delight

Thanks to one of Edric’s college friends, we spend the afternoon in Serendra. I am not a sales person for Ayala Land, buy wowza! I could be. They make the best amenities for their home owners. Serendra is one of those places that feels like another world. With its gardens, open spaces, children’s playgrounds, sports … Continue reading »

First Kiss

I wish I had a professional camera to take photos at my sister’s wedding to share with you all. But I had to rely on my Iphone and Facebook to get photos of the event. (Will wait for the wedding photographer’s selections and share them when I can.) It was an amazing wedding, which I … Continue reading »

1,2,3 Smile!

I want to thank Andy and Leslie Samaniego for taking our family photo. They made us look better than we really do! Andy and Leslie are part of our discipleship group and they are dear friends. Last week, I organized a photo shoot for the entire Tan-Chi clan because everyone is in Manila. It was … Continue reading »

Nice Surprises

The kids had a fashion shoot last February. It was an unexpected but timely blessing. Right after mounting a couples retreat, we were given an overnight, all expense paid stay at Pico de Loro Resort. I finally grabbed a copy of Smart Parenting Magazine’s April 2012 issue and saw the kids’ photos. It was a … Continue reading »

A Little Bit of Heaven

It’s been a wonderful week of bonding with my brothers and sisters. We are complete as a family — four sets of married siblings with ten children between us, a sister who is about to be married, and my parents. Being able to reconnect and fellowship means alot to all of us because it does … Continue reading »

“Best Day Ever!”

We spent all of Saturday hanging out with the kids (and mostly, at home). We played Monopoly Philippine Edition, went swimming, drove around in the car to run errands, and put out a big mattress in the living room so we could all lay on it and chill. One of our sons said, “This is … Continue reading »

Mind Boggling Mind Museum

We had a wonderful afternoon at the Mind Museum in Bonifacio Global City. It was well worth the 450/child and 600/adult fees that we had to pay. There are some areas that are still under development but I am sure that by the end of the month, everything should be up and ready. For homeschoolers, … Continue reading »

Up and Away Forever

10431 Gulf Beach Hwy Pensacola, Florida, 32507. There’s an address I will never forget. My grandparents lived here before hurricane Ivan tore their house apart, and before my grandpa sold what remained of the property to a condominium developer. Many joyful summers were spent here as a family. Their home was built on the intercoastal … Continue reading »
