So how’s the new mom? + some things worth sharing
My daughter just turned three months last week but I actually thought it was at least six months already. With my new alarm clock, I can barely sleep plus new roles in my job plus tool transitions and configurations, plus one new group of bloggers I just joined plus I recently just had an accident and my left knee was badly affected plus my mom got sick. So yea, basically, my days and weeks became longer. So if you are to ask how I manage my time: I cry for like 24 hours a day. I honestly hate it when people say “take a nap while your baby’s sleeping”. Newsflash: when I’m at…

Mnemosyne Rae’s Christening Day
Organizing my baby’s Christening was very tiring but fun. I got the church that I wanted, the food was taken care of at our venue, her dad’s there, my family was there, and my very supportive friends were there. Though some of my closest friends were not able to attend, I really am grateful to them for saying yes to being Toyang’s godparents and of course more big thanks to those who gave us their presence. It’s nice to see all the preparations over the past month resulted to a very nice and grateful day to me and the family. It’s been weeks already since Toyang got baptized, but anyways, for those…

May Day: We find what we look for
I almost forgot I have this “May Day” blog category where I tag my life updates in case I am too lazy to write on my journal. Well, here I am again, updating my blog with super personal nonsense things as if my readers care. Oh, by the way, that’s how personal blogs work, right? The previous week has been the busiest one I had since I gave birth. With all the work load and mommy duties, I thought I was nearly quitting. But God is indeed good and gave me more inspirations to live life to the fullest. Anyway, before anything else, thanks for reading my previous post on Mental…

Talking about Mental Health + some things worth sharing
I’ve been drafting and updating this post every night before sleep for more than four weeks just so I could share what I really am going through and also some points I found in the internet that really help me go along this journey. So sorry to my family who thought I was just “always” on my phone or if I go out too often or if I spend money too much or if I couldn’t respond with isang tawagan lang and to my friends who thought I was too “madamot” to show Toyang in person or for making bullies a joke or for when I was too ma-drama sa chat. I was…

My funny but true list of pros and cons on being a single mother
Haha! I said it’s funny, because I started listing the pros first and suddenly I had nothing to write under the cons list. I mean I had to re-read my previous posts and Google “what’s sad about being a single parent” just to make myself remember. Or maybe the time I was drafting this was just a happy day? Ha. I’m not actually sure why I always call myself a single mom when R is also there trying his best to be a dad. Anyway, re-reading was effective (that’s one of my reasons why I journal!) and I remembered everything exactly the way I experienced and felt it the first time. Pain, sadness,…
