2016 – Day 1/366

January 2, 2016 by Sheila | A B & Me 2 Comments

It is tradition to stay at home and have a small feast on New Year’s Eve. Just like the years before, we stayed at home while waiting for the fireworks to be shown on TV. We’re not that brave to watch the show live. Also, I really think its much better to watch it at…

Goodbye 2015

December 31, 2015 by Sheila | A B & Me Leave a Comment

I challenged 2015 to beat my year in 2014 … I wasn’t disappointed. In fact, I was mind blown at what 2015 gave us. And that is why I’m excited for the coming year because I know it can only go better. But before we talk about 2016, here’s a quick summary:  Sheila | A…

ASL is Beautiful

Ohai!! I still can’t believe its October already. I feel so unproductive (blog-wise)! Here’s a quick update, in bullet points — because that’s how it is for me right now. Everything in bullet points. *sigh* We went to Switzerland, I’m sure you’ve heard. (If not, then follow my Instagram and Facebook. I get to update…

Life, Sickness and Death

August 30, 2015 by Sheila | A B & Me 2 Comments

Funny how things go during the day. We usually don’t notice the whole range of emotions and topics but today … the conversations I had were all about this … life, sickness and death.  My morning started with a Facebook message from my cousin telling me to buy a memorial plan. I mean, why not?…

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!)
