Blake’s 5th Birthday

October 24, 2016 by Sheila | A B & Me 2 Comments

Ohaii beautiful people who still reads our blog! We’ve been really busy lately which explains the lack of updates. A very lame excuse for a blogger, yes – I know.  I’ve missed this space so hopefully we can get ourselves a little more organized so we can post more on this blog. (We are active…

September 28, 2016 by Sheila | A B & Me 1 Comment

Ohaiii guys! Has it really been almost 3 weeks since my last post? Time really flies fast, huh? This month has really kept us on our toes. First week was the start of the new school year. That means I’m back to making some bento boxes for B! So glad that our schedules are working well, otherwise…

The Last Time

September 8, 2016 by Sheila | A B & Me 2 Comments

September.  It’s Blake’s birthday month. She’ll be five soon. Where did the time go? Wasn’t it just yesterday when she was this big?! She also started “big” school this week. I’m both happy and sad at the same time. I’m happy that she’s finally going to school, she’s going to meet new friends, she’s going…

Ramadan 2016

June 6, 2016 by Sheila | A B & Me 3 Comments

Ramadan Kareem! [Tweet “Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, is a “month of blessing” marked by prayer, fasting, and charity.”] During this time, most offices have reduced working hours which is a big YES! for me. This means I can go home and spend some time with B (or blog, just like what…

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?

Ps. I shared more of the story behind this thought over on @threads if you’re curious (same handle!)
