I have been blessed with another opportunity to catch a wonderful show (for free!!)  I’ve never heard of “The Illusionists” before, but apparently they’re really good. And I’ve just watched the movie “Now You See Me” which is about a group of magicians/illusionists who uses their skills to pull off a series of heists during…

Mysterious Case of Unsleep

May 4, 2013 by Sheila | A B & Me Leave a Comment

I can now say that I have solved the mysterious case of unsleep. (yeah, technically, that’s a word…) For the past 3 days, I have been waking up at different times, ungodly hours! Between 2 am to 6 am. Even during the weekend!    The culprit:    I’m guessing the medications I’ve been taking. For…

Hello!

Hey there!
We’re a Filipino family of four figuring things out in California after living in Dubai for years. This space is part blog, part memory box—where we share life lately, parenting wins and fails, travels, and everything in between.

Sometimes it’s deep, sometimes it’s funny, but it’s always honest. Thanks for hanging out with us!

I’ve been thinking a lot about the whole “YOLO I’ve been thinking a lot about the whole “YOLO” mindset. It sounds fun — and sometimes it IS harmless. But when we let it guide our decisions without pause… it can turn into a habit of acting first, thinking later. 

This post is just something I made to process that idea. What if we shifted from the YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE to YOU ONLY DIE ONCE? 

It’s not being a buzzkill. It’s about modeling self-control, delayed gratification, and faith in action—even when it’s not popular. 

What do you think: YOLO or YODO?
