My curious case of didelphys
Advance note: This article is not for your sensitive and closed minds. I used a lot of girl terms that you may find kadiri or whatever, so if you are interested to read this, I need you to open your mind, and try to understand women’s experiences – yeah, especially you, guys. By the way, there also is penis didelphys and I think it’s way weirder. I was 13 when I had my first menstruation. It was just a normal day, I was preparing for school, and since I was already familiar with what “mens” was, i just casually told my mom “ma, may dugo.” As a Pinay mom and…

May Day: My “when it rains, it pours” moment + some things worth sharing
Just recently, I had the most depressing moments yet in my life. I knew things like these are coming, but it really feels different when bad stuff are already in front of your face, laughing. There was no single day that I didn’t cry because I felt that was the only thing I could do. This time, I didn’t cry on anyone’s shoulders, I didn’t rant on Facebook, I didn’t tell the story and more info on my blog. I knew people would say “eto nanaman may drama nanaman sa buhay ang loka”. I knew people are already tired of all my sad stories so I really tried to keep it…

“Children don’t hear us. They imitate us.”
My mom isn’t a wide reader. She loves visuals more than writen stuff. My dad, though, reads the paper every day but I never realized that until I was in college or idk maybe when I was already working. Now I was not sure why I read a lot since I was a kid. They offered me coloring books and a lot of scratch papers to write on but I cannot remember why and how and when I started reading books. This post from The Humorists actually what triggered this post. It sounded like “I read a lot, so my kid reads a lot.” What if the kid got this…

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…
