Hi! I'm Lai and welcome to my blog. :)


I have recently become a mom to a darling baby boy. We named him Isaiah Patrick and we fondly call him Zeya. Married for almost 4 years now to a man who lavishes me with flowers every month and who goes by the name of Rolando. 

Just five more things that might interest you about me:

#1: I'm from the sunny and stormy Philippines. I believe the best white beaches and the warmest people on the planet can be found in my country. :)

#2: I moved to the laid-back yet charming city of Dublin, Ireland in 2012. This country is overwhelmingly filled with beauty and wonders that have left me in awe in various reasons and seasons. I love spring, summer and autumn here, in that order. Let's forget about winter.

#3: Also in 2012, I married Rolando (sometimes referred to as the hubby or simply R in this blog). He is the single best reason why I moved to Dublin. I will be forever in awe of how God orchestrated our love story, and how this man, who was once a friend, an officemate, a seatmate and even an enemy, turned out to be God's best for me. This blog has all the footprints and handprints of our love story. In this foreign land of Ireland, we find ourselves chasing dreams together, struggling together, persevering together and keeping the faith together.

#4: I've been an auditor, an accountant and a financial analyst in the last 12 years. I work in the NGO sector and I love what I do for a living. It wasn't like that before, but in the NGO world, I found my niche as an accountant.

#5: I'm a Christian and I believe I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Since I accepted the fact that Someone died for me and loved me first, my life has never been the same.

Things I really really love: I love to cuddle and kiss my little family. I love to dream. I love to travel and be fascinated by nature and various cultures of the world. I love to read. I love morning light and I enjoy doing devotions when the world is just waking up. I've grown to love the smell of coffee and scones in this part of the world. I love long walks by the beach and a climb on a hill. I love to capture places, people and moments. I love to create with my hands.

Oh and one more thing: I love to write. This online space where I pour my heart out in words and photos has been my home since 2010 and was previously titled SIMPLYLAI. I've moved on now and I just call this online space by my name. In case you find grammatical errors here and there, please be kind and forgiving. :)

It is my hope and my prayer that somewhere in this blog, you'll find little things to make you smile and some bits and pieces to warm your heart.

Blessings and cheers,
Mommy Lai
