Eating healthy

I got a regular newsletter from Pristine’s teacher regarding the children’s packed lunches and snacks. The letter was requesting parents to send healthier lunches and snacks to their children and that nuggets and hamburgers are only when there’s a school party.
I prepare two boxes for her every morning, one of lunch and one for her [...]

It took her two months

I got an email from a friend of mine who gave birth two months ago. Her baby is so chubby and cute, I almost want to eat it! The new mom (my friend) had been talking a lot about her new stint as a mom, breastfeeding, the sleepless nights, the usual “perks” of being a [...]

Mommies have issues

I work full time, 6 days a week. I’m not a single mom, I have a husband who’s working too and we help each other with the finances. I chose to work outside the home because it is the only option for us right now although I dream of someday, be able to work from [...]

In which I want to scream, unfair!

My husband’s got the flu and when he’s got it, he turns into a whiny, lazy creature that I truly hate. You see, no matter how light the symptoms are, he turns them into a man flu. Haven’t heard of man flu? Well, it’s a type of flu where the victim looks and vouches they’re [...]

I’m glad to have a daughter

Last weekend I had a very beautiful realization: I am lucky I have a daughter. Now, no offense to moms having sons because I can only speak for myself here, having only one child who happens to have the same gender as I do.

Pristine and I went out. Just the two of us. First stop [...]

Can’t have everything I wish for

I came back home today after spending two hours at the office because of abdominal and back pains due to a very painful monthly period. I’d be candid here, since I think not many people read this blog except family and close friends.
I’m a little disappointed to know that I am not pregnant. We were trying [...]

and another slack

I had been so busy with work since last Saturday which means it was nearly impossible to go online in the office. When I do, I only check emails and moderate comments in my other blog.
I had so much in my mind for blog posts but they simply vanished away - next time, I’m going [...]

I can’t stop smiling today

I dreamed about Hugh Jackman last night! And I overslept. Very strange because I did not even see any of his movies lately nor saw him in the news - oh wait, he was just proclaimed Sexiest Man Alive by People Magazine so that must be the reason of my *ahem* fantasy.

Anyway, we were lovey-dovey [...]

birthday thoughts get deeper as we get older

It’s my birthday today and I will be 32. A lot has happened in these 32 years of my life. Sounds like I’m going to have a melodrama starting but yeah, I have thought about some things like what I’ve gone through and boring things like how I see myself in the future - in [...]

still at home and happy about it

Just like I planned yesterday, I stayed at home today. Pristine is still having fever and clingy to me but having a pretty good appetite and vibrant spirit.
We watched Mamma Mia the movie for at least five times today! The movie is just the best, the most entertaining movie for her right now. It beats [...]
