Haven’t opened this blog for months. Gee, busy much? Well, yeah. See, I am now a working Mom. Well, for all of two weeks anyway, but prior to that I was busy taking care of my little princess w...

Good morning!

So. Up waaaay early today because it’s just me and Francine at home. Everyone else is off on errands. Oh well. But this makes the lack of sleep well worth it: God, I sooooo love this kid! ❤ Fil...

Test post from my iPod

So. The title pretty much sums it up. Just trying out WordPress on IOS. I got this iPod Touch just yesterday, yet again another gift from him. Damn sweet guy. Filed under: Randomness Tagged: blog, io...

3 months

Today Francine is three months old. My, how time flies. And at the same time, seem so slow. It felt like ages since I delivered my daughter, and still ages more since my tummy was swollen with her in...

Day 56: Weight gain

Francine had her monthly checkup earlier today. From 4.3 kg the last time, she is now approximately 5.15 kg. She also grew by 3 cm, from 52 to 55 cm. Gee, she really is growing so fast. I feel freaki...

Day 55: Ready to race!

I soooo love this car seat given by my two best friends to their inaanak. They didn’t spring for a pink or girly one despite Francine’s being a girl, which is more than okay with me. Hell...

Day 53: Hellooooooow…?

Sure took me long enough to resume my Project 365. Anywho. Today, Francine is 2 months old. Yey! Just like in the photo, she already “talks” to me. Making eye contact and cooing sounds as...

Love the Way You Lie

Maybe I did just crawl out of a cave somewhere, but only now am I finally appreciating this song. The Eminem and Rihanna version that is. Talk about some fiery kind of love. It’s dark and viole...

Dead girls talking

My rating: ♥ ♥ My rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ As what the blog entry title says, the common factor between these two books is the narrative point of view. Two dead girls (one from a vehicular accident, the other ...

We look just like sisters

Or am I just deluding myself? I hate my hair in that last pic btw. Haha. Bare-faced except for blush (Careline Rosy Cheek + e.l.f. Peachy Keen) to give my pale face some “naturally healthy̶...

Surprisingly good read (Books and Ratings)

Let’s just say I have some reservations about young-adult (YA) novels despite having read quite a number of books from that genre. Not that I feel juvenile or childish reading about teenagers (...

Just like a doll

See Francine all stretched out straight? Makes it look like I’m carrying a baby doll instead of a real baby. Filed under: Reality Tagged: baby, happiness, love

Next on the list

I’m just about finished with Stieg Larsson’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. It was, well, okay. Couldn’t see what all the hype is about. It didn’t get me hooked like The Hun...

I miss my appetite

There’s pizza in the house and I managed only one measly slice (it wasn’t even the biggest slice). There’s cake but I’m letting it go to waste. There’s a bar of chocolat...

My Million Dollar Baby

Looks so soft and innocent, doesn’t she? But mind you, this baby packs one mean punch, literally! In fact she just gave me an uppercut this morning. Haha. Seriously, Francine really has the mak...

Books: Read and To-read

I have my Kindle for a month and a few days now. Must make a review one of these days. Anywho, here are some of the books I have read and finished on it: Hmmm… Just nine books in a month? Too f...

Born snob?

Francine is one healthy kid with one healthy appetite as well. I breastfeed her, but we also feed her from the bottle since my milk flows too slowly for her liking sometimes (especially when she̵...

My name is NOT Catherine

Just gotta rant here about Starbucks (SM City Batangas branch). It’s something minor, really. but it really really pisses me off. For the nth time people, my friggin’ name is Nathalie. NO...

OCML: Original Cheesy Mommy Line

Watching her sleep every night is infinitely more engrossing than any soap opera the best writers and production team could ever come up with. So cheesy, but so true. The idea for OCML came out of a ...

So many blessings!

This here are my parents (just before we all called it a night, hence the tired faces) with our little angel. So the Christening pushed through, and successfully at that. Lots of people came, and Fra...

Review: Hunger Games Trilogy

Warning: I have long since forgotten how to do a proper book review, so kindly bear with me. Oh, and yeah, there are a coupla spoilers here as well. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. Now, on w...

Day 53: A concession to the old me

Since I would already be donning a dress and girly flats for the Baptism this Saturday, I decided to forego dainty nails and opted to have my digits cut to stubby-short (for practicality as well) and...

Quirky toes

It’s one useless thing I could do: overlap the third and fourth toes of my right foot at will. And it seems my daughter inherited that and then some. Here’s the evidence right here, so pl...

Unabashed vanity: Feeling hot Momma!

A reminder of what used to be and what could be

Cats in the cradle by Ugly Kid Joe is one of my all-time favorite songs. I don’t know how many people know the song, it doesn’t seem to be very popular. But the lyrics and the story are w...

Purple lovin’

As promised yesterday, here are some pics of my Kindle cover: I forgot to have a wallet-sized photo of Francine developed yesterday. I’m planning to put one of her pictures in that clear plasti...

Musings about motherhood and me

It seems the stresses of motherhood (like the almost sleepless nights and strain of carrying a heavy baby) have finally caught up with me. I can hardly function right these past coupla days. I feel w...

Just like me

I was supposed to blog about something else, the book I was reading the other night, Catching Fire (the second installment of the Hunger Games trilogy) by Suzanne Collins. But looking up from reading...
