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…

Week 35: Almost there! + my first NVS recognition
My mom and dad are currently on a vacation, attending the local fest at the province. So yep, I and my siblings are making each day alone, with house chores 24/7. It’s a good thing, though. This is the first time for the longest time they went out of town by themselves, and it’s also our chance to better ourselves on house works. I know they’re enjoying themselves, especially my mom who just had her first flight ever. But my belly’s about to pop, and I just am positively wishing Mneme and I can hold it in until May. So far, thank God, I have no scary contractions yet. Anyway,…

Week 23: What I learned
The past week was not-so-good for me and Toyo. Well, not okay especially for me. One of those hell weeks, really. Now, I;m on my 23rd week of pregnancy, and I;m not super happy. I just uninstalled all my social media apps from my phone supposedly to avoid stress from those stupid fake news and articles. I loved reading, don’t expect me to just scroll up and down the timeline without reading anything posted on it plus the comments. Yeah, my bad. So I decided to ditch those apps also to limit myself on using phone during pregnancy. They say it’s actually not that bad, but better to limit yourself from it.…

Week 22: So how’s it going?
“You never understand life until it grows inside of you. -Sandra Chami Kassis” I was never ready. As I shared on my previous post, I hate kids. Nang-aaway pa nga ako minsan. So that was one of my worries when I first knew about it. Not that I didn’t want to have kids, I just thought I don’t have enough patience for those little children. Kaya nga rin hindi ko pinangarap maging teacher, ayoko kasi sa matitigas ang ulo. But honestly, when one of my scholl teachers asked us for an essay about our life plans, or whenever anyone asks on what age would I want to have my own…
