A while back, I had written ten things about Saipan. My family and I have been residing on the said island for 90 days and since then I’ve made several observations: Climate is the most obvious difference. My husband is Virginia born and bred. I myself have lived there for over 6 years. So we have experienced and enjoyed...

On Some days, the word “productive”, for me, could mean one thing— and on some, entirely another. There was a day when it meant an 8 hour work shift, a clean functioning home, date with the hubby, shopping date with a girl friend, plus x number of miles run in the fresh outdoors’ air; A day when Planners and...

That’s the number of days since I last posted on Home and Bahay! Many things have transpired since then. Moving to the other side of the world is one of them. Yes, we safely made it to Saipan! I am just loving the fact that our little family is together again. Island life, in so many ways, is not so different from the States...

I said “Goodbye” to Saipan in 2003. But as you read this, our plane will probably be flying over the pacific ocean headed back to that tiny island. It was almost a decade ago when I first landed on US soil. I arrived dreamy-eyed yet determined to seek a good Bible college education. I was full of dreams and...

“Grandparents Day” is not until September. But I am thinking of my baby’s grandparents. And my own. Thinking about how they have impacted my life. And the blessing of my daughter’s own grandparents love and care for her. Thinking of their delight at seeing her and being with her. Remembering their sorrow...

I Became an American Citizen? It was a Tuesday in January. I became a “Filipina by birth and American by Marriage…”. Sort of. Technically, I became American by Permanent Residence. The day I said “I DO”, I chose to become the people of my husband and his home become my home… But I’ve...

Well hello there dear people! You may have noticed it has been quiet here at Home & Bahay…at least on my part. I scheduled over two weeks worth of postings, packed our bags, headed to VA and went unplugged (from the internet world) for 3 whole weeks! No Blog. No Email. No Facebook. I tell ya! It was a refreshing,...

There was a certain time before Seth and I were married, when he was sick and not able to go out for a long period of time. We texted a lot then. And one conversation went something like this: Chelo: How are you feeling? Seth: I’ m very thankful to be feeling much better… . Chelo: Oh that’s...

From Daddy: (A blog post for family far away from the tiny island of Saipan) This is how we celebrated Christmas and New Year’s Holiday!

It has been 4 months to be exact since my husband left for his teaching job in the Marianas. I gotta tell ya! The longer it is taking for us to be together again…the harder it gets. I feel for military wives whose husband’s are away except they probably have it worse. I don’t have to fear for my husband being...

“O holy night! The stars are brightly shining, It is the night of our dear Saviour’s birth. Long lay the world in sin and error pining, ‘Til He appear’d and the soul felt its worth. A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices, For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn. Fall on your knees! O hear the angel...

I cut my husband’s hair (with clippers)…. because I can’t cut it with scissors because it’s cheap to do it myself because he likes the way I cut it He has gorgeous dark brown hair with some reddish highlights. I’ve always envied his curly hair that doesn’t really reach its full...

Have you smiled today yet? Here’s a video of one of my favorite sounds in the whole world… My little cousin was making my baby girl laugh by blowing at her face.

This past month of October, I participated in the 31 Day Series hosted by several bloggers (Nester, Darcy, and others.). Actually I should say I participated on most of the days. In fact, I still have several articles yet to be posted as I write this thought (If you’re interested, check them all out here). No. I’m...

If you’ve read about my list of shame confessions, then you are probably aware that Laundry + Chelo = Bad, Sloppy, Enemies... And here’s a picture to prove my point: Seriously though, I generally like organization and being organized. But when it comes to my clothes in a very private/hidden drawer…it’s...

Happy Monday to you! I have created a whole new sub-category under the “Family” aiming to delight your heart with simple videos. Alright, maybe it will not delight your heart.
