About

Hey there! 👋

Welcome to DadBuhay — a personal blog where I share my journey as a dad of two daughters, living and raising a family in the UK 🇵🇭🇬🇧.

This blog is my space to write about real-life experiences as a father, husband, and working professional far from home. It’s about the everyday chaos, little joys, and parenting wins (and fails!) that come with raising two little girls — one toddler and one baby — habang juggling work, travel, and life abroad.

Here, you’ll find stories about:

Parenting life from a Filipino dad’s perspective Tips and lessons I’ve learned while traveling with kids ✈️ How I manage work-life balance as an OFW dad with a full-time career Moments of kulitan, pagod, and pure joy as we raise our daughters in a multicultural environment and our adventures as a family — both in the UK and during our trips back home to the Philippines and other countries.

This is not a perfect dad blog. I’m not an expert. I’m just a hands-on dad trying to document life one post at a time — real stories, real love, and the chaos in between.

Whether you’re a fellow parent, an OFW, or someone who just wants to read about what it’s like to be a Filipino dad raising a young family abroad — salamat sa pagdaan. Hope you find something here that makes you smile, nod, or say, “Same here!”

Tara, kwentuhan tayo.
