About
My name is Rheea—Ree for short—and I’m no motherhood expert. In fact, I never planned on being a mom. Now, two wonderful daughters later, I’m still amazed at God’s ability to not only change hearts, but provide guidance and grace along the way.
Motherhood has never been easy for me; I am one of the least maternal, undisciplined, self-centered people I know. But I also know I am where I am today mostly by the grace of God, who keeps me sane and has signed me up for a lifelong class in patience and self-control.
Aside from being Wife and Mommy, I also am a storyteller. Sometimes, after reading all those parenting books that attempt to teach you the best ways to raise your child; or after encounters with mothers who make motherhood seem so easy and fun, I feel inadequate and disheartened. Sometime I feel that I am the only one who grapples with being a mom. Here on Rainy Days and Mom Days, I’d like to share my stories: my experiences and lessons learned, my struggles and my triumphs. I’d like other moms to know that motherhood isn’t all sunshine and rainbows—that you need the rain to fully appreciate the rainbows. And, armed with more knowledge, encouragement from people who’ve been there and, most of all, with God’s grace, motherhood can be a breeze.
Sometimes, anyway.
hi Rheea,
I have from time to time been browsing your page-got lots of interesting insights for my own 3 kids. I wish to share with you something about Brain Fitness which I myself has become an advocate of.
Just like physical fitness is only complete when one’s fit across attributes like flexibility,coordination, balance, speed, and strength — brain fitness is also a test of fitness across (i) attention/focus (ii) visual processing (iii) auditory processing (iv) sensory-motor (v) socio-emotions.
The concept of brain fitness is strong and broad in US. In Asia, it started in Singapore 10years ago. Last April, it opened in Philippines because it fill in a need for myself as mom and we are seeing more and more kids/parents experiencing transformation through it.
BrainFit Studio is a leading provider of brain fitness programs based on neuro-scientic principles. The company takes price in its strong adherence of being evidence-based in terms of program delivery and results tracking.
Before you think of this as an advertisement (awareness-building it is
) — I personally want to extend the invitation for you to visit our center. Most programs are for aged 4-18years but starting June, we will be opening a toddler (2-4years) SMART Grooves program as heastart to brain fitness.
Let me know when you’re free to pop by – I can be reached at 7258500 or 0917-5991992. Thanks!

Hi Marilyn
Thanks for dropping by. I checked out your website and it does look interesting. I may give you a call one of these days and ask more about it. It’s quite a distance from us though, as we’re based in Paranaque. But perhaps when we go vist our pediatrician in Cardinal, we could drop by. Are you open on Saturdays?
