A mother pleading to her daughter’s ex-boyfriend to get back together so that her daughter will live. This part really bothered me. That’s just wrong. I do know that a mother will do everything to make sure her child lives but to plead that an ex-boyfriend – who apparently had moved on with his life – to break off his current relationship to get back together with a dying daughter to make her happy is just plain wrong. I, as a mom, would never force someone to be with my child just to make him happy. You cannot force someone to love you. Plain and simple.
Goodbye after 23 Years
This morning, I saw my brother’s shared link in FB about McDonald’s Session Road in Baguio City closing after 23 years. It is actually a sad thing, really. (You can read more about it here). McDonald’s Session Road is the first ever McDonald’s franchise in Baguio. It is located in Lower Session Rd., corner Lower Mabini St. across PNB Building. You cannot actually miss it when you’re in Session Road. The first ever McDonald’s in Baguio was franchised by the Del Rosarios (who also own Sunshine Supermarket, Hotel Veniz and other businesses within the city). That’s all I know actually about […]
Of “Love” and Self-Preservation…
As much as possible, I would like to keep this blog strictly about my journey into motherhood. However, I guess this is one topic that I just couldn’t help but write about. You see, I don’t want to post my opinions about love and relationship because for one, I am a commitment-phobic person and really, I am no expert about this topic (but I have lots of opinions about it 😀 ) Anyway, I have this friend who is currently going through rough times with her partner. The thing is, the issues they have been fighting about every single time are the […]
Blabber Chapter: Another Rant
It’s 1:52AM on my side of the world. And yet I can’t sleep. Been having insomnia attacks lately. I think given the events for these past few days, it was bound to happen. I still can’t forgive myself of losing my backpack, you know. More than the actual monetary value of the things I lost, what I really can’t let go is losing all of my files. 7 years worth of work files plus about 9 years worth of photos. And most of all, losing Z’s first 4 months of photos and videos. Trivia: For Z’s first 3 months, I’ve […]
Segue: A Moment of Stupidity
I was planning to blog about something else today however, something happened last night between the post I published and the moment I arrived in the mountain city. I have been travelling to and from Baguio and Manila for 9 years now and never in my entire life have I experienced something like this. I guess this is what you call losing faith in humanity. Yep, people nowadays are so scary that you wouldn’t know who to really trust. (From what I’ve just experienced, I think I’d rather trust noone from now on). I was all excited to go home […]
Blabber Chapter: Midnight Thoughts
As I write this, I am already on my way to Baguio. In fact, I am already along NLEX. And this is the first post that I’ve written using my smartphone so pardon any typo errors. I should be getting some rest because I have a long day ahead of me once I get home. I have appointments scheduled for little Z’s baby dedication. Barely a month to go and I have yet to send the invites, make the save the date video, and come up with little Z’s AVP. Though I am not even sure if there’s a projector […]
Random Thoughts
I’ve been thinking quite a lot lately. I know, I know, I should just let things go and get some sleep before the sun rises again. But hey, sometimes, I can’t help it. I think about everything and nothing. I think about possibilities, make plans, set goals and other what-nots. Well, this activity occupies my so-called idle times of the day (whenever that is). Just some of the things that I’ve been thinking about lately: – I’m still trying so hard to come up with a balance between being a career woman and a mom. When people tell you this […]
I Want To Get Away, I Want To Fly Away…
That’s how the song of Lenny Kravitz go. 🙂 And this is what I sing when I want to travel. I have been browsing through online deals (as what I used to do) to check for items on sale or travels at a good deal when I ran into a few. All-inclusive 3D/2N trip to Siem Reap, Cambodia. *Sigh* Given my present financial situation, I cannot really afford an international trip right now. Well, not yet anyway. But seeing that deal, I could only sigh. You see, I have been wanting to go to Cambodia (and even Vietnam) for the […]
When Hope Is Lost…
This is a rant of a mother who just got her heart broken. Not for the faint-hearted. Consider yourselves warned. I am not yet ready to really divulge all the details that happened. But this is how I feel at this point in time. I think I just hit my lowest of lows in this lifetime. A point where I don’t know where to start again. My heart was just totally shattered to pieces. My spirit broken. My resolve gone. I just have one question: why? Why all these? Why me? Why now? Have I been really such that bad […]
Day 12: Something That I Miss and A High Angle
Blog Challenge: Something that I miss I just transitioned from being single with no dependent to being single with dependent. In other words, I just became a parent. And as most of the people who, well, technically changed status, there will always be a few something that you miss doing. I hope I will not be looked at in a bad angle for being honest with this topic. One of the things that I miss is my “me” time. Before I got pregnant, I have the liberty to do whatever I want whenever I want. I have quite an impulsive […]
