Continue reading →: Head In the Clouds, Feet On the GroundAs a child, daydreams were such wonderful getaways. I looked forward to boring classes because it meant I could escape into my utopian dreams where none of my love was unrequited and my curly hair was never a frizzy mess. I fantasized about my dream house and my dream life…

Continue reading →: In This Moment of Uncertainty“In my dream, daddy had cancer and he died.” This is what our 10-year-old son whimpered to us a few days ago. He woke up feeling really disturbed and sad because of this dream of his. All we could do was comfort him and tell him that his dad is…

Continue reading →: Will I Ever Feel Safe Again?It was a sunny summer’s day and I was lazing around at home, as all 15-year-olds are won’t to do. The doorbell rang, and I begrudgingly stood up to answer it. On our doorstep stood a man in a white polo barong, asking if my parents were home. They’re at…

I need to get to the bottom of something. It’s an age-old mystery that every human has to solve for themselves, and I would put it up there with the question “what is love?” It beffudles and confounds and it halts a lot, if not most, people in their tracks.…

Hello,
I’m Kris
Wife to an amazing man and mother to two crazy kids I would burn the whole world down for. I love to write, and so I write. I also love to draw, but I’m not very good at it. I do real estate and own a business. It’s a lot. And it’s a mess, sorry I didn’t have time to fix up. Come in, but watch your step! There’s probably some spilled snacks on the floor. And some Legos. But that’s okay, the couch is cozy and the coffee is hot. Let’s make chika!
