After Kara’s confirmation this afternoon, we proceeded to SM to eat since we were not able to eat lunch as we had to be in the church at 12:30 for the registration because Kara didn’t want a long line ahead of her. Good thing we were there quite early because there were already a lot [...]

Last Sunday was Ate Kara’s elementary graduation. I woke up early so I could prepare myself and then put light make up on Ate Kara’s pretty face. As expected, after I made up her face, she was all smiles, which actually made her already pretty face, prettier. (Oh, btw, she liked my new L’Oreal Volume [...]

Last Saturday, Bong, Kara and I watched the 3rd and final installment to the HSM saga. I was excited to watch this because I knew it was one of Kara’s faves (I even bought all the HSM books I could find in Powerbooks.)
I couldn’t help but marvel at the genius that is Kenny Ortega. Imagine [...]

Last Saturday, Bong and I were finally able to watch Mamma Mia on DVD, and what can I say? Either I just love musicales, or the movie is really nice because i loved it. Meryl Streep delivered a really nice performance, and well, I just could relate to the fact that letting go of your [...]

Reading my baby’s blog about her supposed bestfriend and how she felt abandoned by her made me realize that she’s indeed growing up, and there really is nothing I could do about it. I could always wish the heartaches were mine to experience so she could be spared from all those lonely moments, but then [...]

It does not matter whether it’s a few hours, a few days, weeks, months, years or decades, even. Once you decide to be a mother, you become one and your life ceases to be what it once was.
Just recently, one of my college friends who just gave birth to her twins lost one of them. [...]

Yesterday was my Ate Kara’s recognition day. She received a Diligence Award
at the end of her fifth grade.
It was actually a pleasant surprise when she texted me last Tuesday that she
would be attending the school’s recognition program after all. She didn’t win
any of the final contests she joined and she told me after, that she [...]

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. I have to protect this little one inside me, too, and if I am not careful, the complications arising from a congenital rubella will [...]
