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…

Life with a one-month old
It’s been one month since my belly was sliced, (haha!) and that part is still a little numb. I read an article about the “feelings” after undergoing C-Section, and I’m honestly relieved the weird feeling is normal for a month or two (actually depends). I just posted this late, but today, Mneme’s officially one month old. It’s really thrilling and exciting, but to be honest, I’m scared she’ll grow up so fast. I admit, when people used to tell me “they grow up so fast”, I never believed them. Now, I could not agree more, I cannot believe I already have a one-month old little human! Her development makes me…

My mom and our story
My mom married my dad the same age as mine today. She then came along with my father, went out of their town to try their luck in Manila. My dad, a very courageous man, tried different jobs while my mom got pregnant with their first, child. Until they got another job, together, from a generous family. My dad served as the residence’s security guard (as their boss was somehow connected to politics), and my mom as cook (well, yeah she cooks very well). They served there for years. They had two-three more children (including me). And til I was six, my parents decided to quit their jobs, and have…

Cute without the E
One of the things women sacrifice for their pregnancy is her body. Once you embrace the life growing inside of you, you let go of the slim, flawless body you have. Fine, they say you’ll get it back. But it’s never certain. It’s never the same. Today was the first time I saw my incision. Yes. Two weeks I never dared to look or even touch it, even when it still had that something covering it. I was afraid I’ll feel the pain when I see it. Whenever I took a bath, I just let the liquid soap and the water flow pass it and let my sister clean the…
