Yesterday, on my way home from work, the mother of one of my Ates (I call my yayas “Ate”) informed me through a text message that her father is in Manila and will leave for Samar (where they live) this Saturday. The sad part is, he wants to fetch his daughter and bring her home [...]

Last Saturday, Feb. 16, was the first time in two weeks that I was able to hold my Jeremy. He had german measles/rubella which prevented me from taking care of him.

Today, July 15, 2007, is another important milestone, not just for my son, Jeremy David, but for all of us, as well, for we all welcomed him to the Christian world. We were supposed to have him baptized two weeks ago during his first month, but as luck would have it, Bong had two singing [...]

It was only supposed to have been a routine ultrasound to see if my baby boy is doing well. But last Saturday, May 26, we found out that after only two weeks, my amniotic fluid was down to just 9.5cm from a high of more than 17cm. My sonologist and OB-Gyne decided to have a [...]

Last Saturday we were able to get our first glimpse of our little angel when we had a 3d/4d ultrasound at the Asian Hospital. At first, Jeremy David was facing me, meaning, it was his back that was facing the “camera”. But the doctor, being a really nice lady, told me she [...]
