I’m not really choosy when it comes to ringtones and I’m perfectly okay with the presets that came with my cellphone. Although I admit that when I hear a customized ringtone, especially i...
Hmm, I wonder if I can pull it off. Wearing a scarf. {Source} I need to cover my neck — if you’re asking why. Sad to say, something came out during my pregnancy. Something that’s pr...
It was a surprise. We were at the mall yesterday because I was supposed to go to the doctor and have my throat checked (hooray for ambulatory clinics at malls). But she was out and won’t be bac...
Our wedding anniversary was last January 30, but I only saw this image last night, after I asked if he can copy some files over to my Shared Documents folder. He’s not really the type who will ...

December 21, 2011: It was the eve of Liam’s cremation. I couldn’t sleep so I thought of writing a short note for him that I will ask to be burned together with his body: Dear Baby Liam, I...
Today is supposed to be my due date, but I have already given birth last December 19, 2011 to a beautiful baby boy. And we named him Hans Liam (Hans means “God is gracious” and Liam, unwa...
I was awaken by a sharp, throbbing pain on my left abdomen early morning of Sunday, December 11. It was accompanied by a more-painful-than-usual contractions on my tummy and pressure on my hips and l...
Before the real baby comes, let me introduce you to the newest member of the family: Chuchay She’s Persian, adorable and playful, and currently the darling of the house. And she knows that. Suc...
Baby isn’t the only one who’ll be needing stuff while at the hospital. That’s we need to have our own hospital bag, too. Here’s what I’m packing in the bag: For Me: 3-4 ...
It’s never too early to prepare. So when my 7th month rolled in, I decided to have a few trips to the mall, often with D, sometimes with my mother, to buy baby’s stuff. But before heading...
I am now on my 9th month or exactly 37th week of pregnancy. At 37 weeks, my baby is considered full-term already and should he wants to come out anytime now, he can without us worrying about a premat...
Now that baby’s gender is determined, we can get down to the business of choosing his name. Although sometimes, I wish that he can already talk so he can tell me what he wants for a name becaus...

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month but it doesn’t have to be October for us to be aware of this very serious treat. Statistics say that: The chance of developing invasive breast cancer at...
Every morning, I would wake up to different sounds, usually coming from D’s computer. On some days, I would wake up to the unmistakable voice of the current video tutorial that he’s watch...
I am now 25 weeks pregnant. The good news is my Glucose Challenge Test and Urine Culture & Sensitivity came back normal. Which means that I’m not at risk for gestational diabetes (GDM) and ...
As planned, I had a Congenital Anomaly Scan (CAS) last Wednesday to make sure that our baby is developing normally. Having had a major operation on my 4th month, I kept worrying about whether or not ...

Wishful thinking: If I have a million pesos and am only allowed to spend it on bags, these are what I’ll get — based on form, style and color. Love, love, love them all!
D’s birthday is coming up. Would love to wear something like this (any of these) if we’d go out for dinner or go somewhere nice like last year. But we’ll probably just stay a...
I haven’t heard of anyone who has undergone a major operation while she’s pregnant until I was told I needed one. My initial reaction was to fear for the life of the child inside me. Will...
