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.

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 [...]

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

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 [...]
