Being a mom of two boys, I have always been asked, “Will you still try for a baby girl?” While some may find the question offensive, I don’t mind it at all. As a matter of fact, I ask the same to friends who are on the same boat. The answer always comes in the […]

Solving the Yaya Problem
Note: I use the “yaya” term to loosely refer to yaya/domestic helper/kasambahay. 4 years and 14 yayas later, I’ve just about had it with them. The latest statistic just asked to go out on a day-off today to send money to her kin. Hours later, I received a text message from her saying that she’s […]
The Lazy Mom’s Guide to Help Your Kids Become More Independent
I am by no means a perfect mother. Far from it actually. I have my moods, I get tired, I get cranky, I get fed up… Best of all, I get lazy. I get too lazy to keep changing diapers so I found a way not to do it. I get too lazy to spoon feed 2 small mouths so […]
Taking Gifting to the Next Level
I can’t believe it’s almost December already! No wonder traffic’s getting worse. That aside, it’s gift giving time again! Speaking of gifts, I’ve been secretly keeping a list of all the things that I’d want to have. Want, being the operative word. Haha! I thought I’d share it with you anyway, just so you’d get […]
5 Takeaways from my 5-Hour Voter Registration Experience
Now that school’s out for the semester, I finally had the time to leave my mommy duties to attend to my civic one. First order of the day was to go and get my Voter Registration reactivated, as I haven’t been able to vote for the past two elections. Upon checking from COMELEC that SM […]
Why LEGO Toys are a Worthy Investment
Back when my youngest brother was about 5 years old, my mom bought him his first LEGO set. I don’t remember which set it was, if it was big or small, if it was a car or a plane, if it had little LEGO people or not. All I remember is that it was the beginning. The beginning […]
Gone too Soon
A few days ago, a friend of ours lost his young wife. She was but 32. Barely two years of being married, they were the picturesque husband and wife. They had enough sweetness to fill the pages of romance novels, they had enough kilig (giddy) moments to overthrow John Lloyd and Bea (or insert your […]
When I was the Bad Mother
“You’re a bad mother. You bring out the worst in your children. When you were not here, they were very well behaved, they didn’t cry, they didn’t even make a peep.” I don’t know what to make of this. I’m a stay-at-home mom, a work-at-home mom at times, to two toddler boys. As any mother would, […]
One Year’s Supply of Huggies Diapers
I went to the Korean Embassy in Taguig today to submit our Korean Visa Applications, 12 in all! Whew! (A post on that next time, cross fingers!) Since I was in the area, I decided to pick up the prizes that I won from the Nuffnang-Huggies Easy-Palit Contest. I finally found and got to Harrison […]
What’s Up with Me
I haven’t done a post in a while which had my brother asking what I’ve been up to lately. Aww, someone misses me… Haha! Anyway, so here’s a quick update to those who are concerned. 🙂 So excited about the photoshoot that I prepared for it the whole week. I did manage to squeeze in making this […]
