The need to dye

November 22, 2011

On my birthday, I did something I’ve been dying to do for ten months now: I colored my hair. How this is kind of a big deal? I used to color my hair (covering the gray) every four weeks. Ten months of  just letting it all go without coloring made me look and feel really [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Night person, morning person couple

July 14, 2011

For the past couple of weeks, Pristine had been sleeping with us in a day bed connected to ours because for some strange reason, she gets blocked nose in the middle of the night at the other room. We don’t mind because it even has benefits – we are ‘forced’ to sleep earlier and thus [...]

April 23, 2011

Photo credit I haven’t written anything execise/fitness or diet related blog posts in a while so I thought I’d really mention the diet fail I had last week. We were invited to a party. I was pretty confident I’d be ok (read: not eat like a mad woman) because the birthday celebrant is a one [...]

Festivities over, time for serious business

January 3, 2011

Another new year has started – I’ve decided that I really, I mean we, really want to have another baby. I don’t want to be wasting years and end up being 50, sitting on the porch and thinking, “I would’ve given my best.” Secondary infertility is real and it could happen to anyone, even to [...]

Five days more

December 16, 2010

*The girl she in the picture drew actually said, “I think I’ll be having a party like this!” Pristine wrote this a few days back. It’s not eight days to go now, it’s FIVE. And her mama don’t know what to do still. Where’s the panic button? Thing is, Pristine’s birthday is on the 23rd, [...]

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 [...]
