Looking for Mrs. Doubtfire

December 11, 2011

We need a nanny. Desperately need. For the past 4 years+, we’ve been lucky enough (or should I say privileged) to have my mom live with us to take care of Pristine. We are forever thankful because life would have been difficult for us if my mom were not here. There’s a terrible lack of [...]

How do they do that?

November 29, 2011

Yet another post about motherhood. While I was putting my son to sleep at 3am after a diaper change and feeding, sleep was a remote possibility. When you’re waking up and sleeping again only to wake again so many times in the night, there is really no proper time to sleep and I wasn’t particularly [...]

What’s the date now?

November 20, 2011

It will be my birthday in two days. It’s actually amazing that I remember it or know that today is Sunday, 20th of November. After staying home and taking care of a newborn round the clock, it’s very easy to get lost of the time, date and day of the week. I don’t even share [...]

What babies remind us

November 18, 2011

Late at night Benjamin got really fussy out of no reason at all (so far, he’s been fed, have clean diapers, etc), crying his lungs out. It seemed there was no way to appease him at all. My c-section scar is not completely healed even after three weeks and carrying the baby causes the stitches [...]

Child beating in public: shocking, unacceptable

August 14, 2011

It’s 3 am and I finally got out of bed after tossing and turning for more than an hour in cold sweats. I couldn’t sleep, not after what happened tonight; not after what I saw tonight. I saw a child being beaten by his mom, in public. As if possessed by devils, the mom beat [...]

The phrase “Working mother” is redundant

December 14, 2010

Hello beautiful undead people. Glad you can’t see me because I am looking like a zoombie today. Since my mom left to spend Christmas with my father in the Philippines, I’ve been pooped with work and house work. I’ve been waking up extra early too, adding to that complete zoombie look. Because my mom only [...]

It’s ok to cry

November 22, 2010

Photo credit **Warning: May contain spoilers for the Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows movie** This won’t be a review of the latest Harry Potter film that we saw last Friday as many of my friends have not seen it yet and I don’t want to ruin it for them. And most of them haven’t [...]

Shopping for babies is a difficult task

September 16, 2010

Just recently, I found myself ‘stranded’ at Babyshop, a shop that sells all kids and baby stuff from pink booties to cribs to huge unnecessary fluffy stuffed toys and noisy remote control cars. This month we’ve been invited to two kid birthday parties and a christening. I also wanted to shop for my friend Rose’s [...]
