Mnemo’s first out of town + tips for baby’s first flight
We spent two weeks away from the city and literally out of my usual network – no social media, no texts, no calls, no hang-outs. Our summer + Holy Week vacay in Bicol was super fun, as the whole family joined the trip for the first time in a very loooong time. And yep, Mnemo’s there, too! ~May’s here again, oversharing stories about her child.~ I know I shouldn’t be sharing my daughter’s life, but I can’t blame myself on feeling excited. It was Mnemo’s first bus ride, plane ride, and out of town. And sorry, Mnemosyne, for posting silly, ugly pictures, I’m just to thrilled to share this experience!…

Looking back before 2018 ends *heart emoji*
It’s already Christmas! I know we are not certain all bout Jesus’ birthdate, but most of us are celebrating life, joy, and love in Jesus’ name. ‘Tis the season for forgiveness and making peace, showering love, and gift giving. And speaking of gifts, this is the first time I gave little gifts to the people in the office who were always there for us, making us safe and comfortable. It may be a little thing, but really, it is a big tick to my bucket list – to give back at least in simple ways. Thank God for the continuous blessings that I am more than willing to share! By…

I don’t know why I’m still writing about this but here’s my life lately
It has been a busy month. No, really. Juggling two jobs is hard, I’ve made myself aware about that even before I entered the second one. But it’s just now that it’s actually sinking in. Both are demanding too much from my 24-hour day. And oops, I forgot to mention I also am a mom. Being away from home at 7am to 9pm during the weekdays made me feel really guilty, so I had to excuse myself from my second raket on weekends. But normally, that’s my weekdays and I’m also out for blog features at 11am to around 12mn on Saturdays and Sundays. My Mnemo just turned seven months…

Postpartum hair loss?
They say it’s just normal. But I am now here at the point where I got back to questioning: “why, Mother Nature, why?” I mean, after the “getting fat” phase, the roller coaster of emotions, the crying all the time, the wild cravings, the bleeding, the painful boobs while breastfeeding, the lack of sleep. Now it’s hair loss. HAIR LOSS!!! When I was pregnant, I was excited about getting my hair done (because you can’t have chemicals on your body while you’re carrying your child!) – I wanted to cut my hair short since I knew about the hair loss, maybe have it straightened and colored (because I’m honestly tired…

Letters from Mom: remember when we first met?
Remember when we first met? Haha! Of course you don’t. But as your mom, that day was and is one of the most unforgettable days of my life. It was the first (and only, so far) surgery I had and I was really scared. I even asked one of the nurses if I could poop while waiting for the doctor because I was so, so nervous. I just laugh at myself everytime I remember that, such an embarassing mom. Haha. It was around ten minutes after I arrived to the operating room when my doctor came (don’t worry, I didn’t have an active and painful labor, thank God you were a…
