A few days ago, I got a message from my Facebook Page from an expectant mommy asking for an advice as she’s a first-time mom. I gave her my #1 advice which is “rest as much as you can” (and a few more). I couldn’t stop thinking of her so I thought “how can I …
I just realized that my last blog post was seven days ago already. I’ve not written anything for this week yet. Where was I? I guess I took another short hiatus, lol! Kidding aside, the main reason why I couldn’t write often now was that our youngest sister is not here anymore, she’s back to …
You who had mixed emotions the moment you see those two lines on the pregnancy test you bought at a local drugstore; You who suffered nausea, headache, dizziness, and morning sickness; You who happily watch your tummy grow little by little each day; You who was completely shocked the moment you felt your child’s first …
Breaking the negativity from my previous post, I’d like to talk about my funny convos with Nate recently. Don’t we just love the kids’ little minds? They amaze us in ways we don’t expect. It’s wonderful! One afternoon: Nate: “Ma, ‘di na ako baby e, youth na ako. Just like ate Juday”Me: *Jaw dropped*(Juday is one …
It has been a habit for me to wake up early during Sundays. I used to be so tardy during this day that we were always late in our Sunday School back then. Thank God for His help, we have not been tardy in the church for months now. As I write this, my little …
One day, after I logged out from work, I received a thought provoking email from Google Alerts about an article from Parent Herald that talks about the 2 major parenting approaches.

Bilang pag-alala na ang buwan ng Agosto ay Buwan ng Wikang Filipino at Buwan ng Pagpapasuso, susubukan kong magsulat ng purong Filipino lamang ukol sa paksang “mas pinatagal na pagpapasuso”, o kung sa Ingles ay “extended breastfeeding“. Bilang mamamayang pilipino na lumaki sa Mindanao at namulat sa idyomang “bisaya”, ako ay hindi sanay magsalita at …
“We don’t remember days, we remember moments!” August 15, 2016 – Habagat 2016 Habagat is here again, ang pinaka-feeling na hangin sa Pilipinas. Sabi nga nila, feeling bagyo daw sya samantalang hangin lang. Grabe, it’s been more than a week and it’s been flooding in Metro Manila, even us here in Rizal. Good thing it didn’t …
Quote I learned this week: “Failure is not falling down but refusing to give up.” August 1, 2016 – Halloooo August!!!!Wow! Who would’ve thought that it’s been 8 months since Jan 2016, ang bilis ng panahon! Konting tiis pa, uuwi din si Dane! hehe. Today, my brother-in-law left to work in Batangas. That’s a new …
Quote I learned this week: “Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn.” July 18 – Hair Straigtened! It’s funny I’ve been planning this for months and months now! I finally had my hair rebonded! Woot wooot! haha. I remember, Dane would tell me, I am so “kuripot” to myself that I very seldom treat “me”. I either …
