I didn’t really want to write something about weight issues but I guess I just needed to do it. You see, I did not really get that big when I was pregnant. I had a small tummy. Even my OB said that I didn’t really gain weight. All the weight I gained was my baby. And even before I got pregnant, I was at the base line of my weight range. I had (well, have) irregular eating habits, not enough sleep, and too much going on to really think of having a healthy diet. When I got pregnant, I had […]
Red/Orange Weekend, a Giveaway and Brownie Craving
So I went home to the mountain city over the weekend. And boy, was I glad to have purchased my bus ticket going home because the chance passengers line was so long, it would have taken me a few hours before I can get a ride had I not bought my ticket. I got the 1AM trip home and arrived at around 6ish in the morning. Before leaving the terminal, I bought another ticket for Sunday night going back to the big metro. Even back home, there were way too many people at the terminal that night. And the chance […]
The Cookie Diaries: Blueberry Thumbprint Cookies
I just got home from work. Well, not exactly. I came home about thirty minutes ago (and it’s already 4:46AM this side of the world as I type this). I got off work at around 3:30AM, went to the bus terminal to get a ticket for tomorrow when I go home to see my little Z. And boy, am I glad that I decided to get a ticket already. When I got to the terminal, there was a long line of chance passengers, waiting to get a seat on the bus. And it is just early Friday morning here! I am […]
When Boredom Strikes…
I am bored. It’s 3 AM this side of the world and I am still awake. I just got home an hour ago and I should have already been done with my “nightly” routine and in bed, either surfing the net or watching a movie. I am typing this in my living room with the TV on but not really watching. I am in the mood to bake cookies but I forgot to buy a couple of the missing ingredients and I am not in the mood to do my nails because it will take some time before the polish will dry. So, […]
A Bazaar and Coffee Date with Superman
Today is little Z’s last day here in the big metro. In a few hours from now (since it is already almost 2 AM in this side of the world), we will travel back home and I will be leaving him with my Mom and sister again. *Sigh* And since my little boy and my sis are stuck in the house the whole week, I make it a point that I bring them out during weekends. And today was no exception. I have seen the ads in my FB newsfeeds regarding Mommy Mundo’s Expo Mom bazaar in Glorietta. Being a […]
Z’s Busy Saturday…
Last Saturday was a busy one for me and my little Z (and of course, with my sister as well :P). We got a last minute invite to the christening of my office mate’s baby who was a month younger than Z at Max’s Restaurant in Robinson’s Galleria then off to BGC for a meet up and a play date. We got home late night already (way past Z’s bedtime, actually.. Yikes!). I didn’t know that Highstreet had an event that day – something about a photography event, so a lot of people were there. Even our usual hang out […]
First Ever Mother’s Day…
This is the first time that I celebrate Mother’s Day as a legitimate (for the lack of better term haha) mother. I have been greeted before with “happy mother’s day” due to the fact that I have somehow became a nanny of my friend’s kids and all that. It, somehow, became some sort of a joke. When I was a lot younger (around high school age, to be specific), I came up with a vague life plan. One of the plans was to be married by age 25 and with two kids – a boy and a girl. Well, I […]

Early Intervention Seminar by DSAPI
Today, my mom, sis and I attended the Early Intervention Seminar conducted by the Down Syndrome Association of the Phils, Inc (DSAPI). There were just a few of us who attended for the first time. Apart from us, there was a family who has a 2-year old boy with DS. There was also a SPED teacher who attended. Another teacher who attended has a 16-year old brother with DS, autism and ADHD. There was a nanny in Saudi who takes care of a child with DS but only attended the first part of the program. And the other was a […]
Shopping for the little boy…
It’s Saturday morning already in this side of the world. Another week has passed, though I am not sure if I was really productive at work. Oh well. I already told you about last weekend’s cravings. Well, my cravings, that is. Given that SM is on a mega-sale this weekend, I might just as well post about my shopping spree for little Z. Last weekend, when I went home to Baguio (which I refer to as mountain city in previous posts), I picked up Z at church as my Mom brought him with her that morning. Before I went to […]
