15 January 2009.
Three (3) years of marriage.
I’d like to say it has been blissful.
But that would be a lie.
As with all marriages, we have had our share of disagreements (who’s idea is better), arguments (who’s right), and catfights (Of course, I am!). Sometimes I win (“Babe, where are my golf clubs?”), sometimes he wins (“Okay, [...]

The night air is cool. It’s 3 a.m. and I’m once again up for my “date” with Nina. As usual, mother and daughter revel in the quietness of the night (Nina full from her nighttime feeding) allowing me to have my thoughts do its own meandering.
It’s another new year. It looks promising. I am hopeful.
I reflect upon the [...]

Post partum Depression or “baby blues” is exactly what the name says – its depression that hits women after giving birth or usually during the first natal week.
Its a condition that hits about 60 % of women who have just given birth but rarely talked about and at times, for the ignorant, even condemned. (Remember [...]

He has always been my inspiration.
There were no mountains high enough, no obstacles hard enough, one has to be the best that one can be. Tall order for a girl barely nine (9) years old; but he said one has to try, lest be entangled in a tragedy of not knowing might have been. His words would echo [...]

Husbands are such funny specie.
They organize parties at the drop of a hat and think that the whole house will magically get itself into order and food will miraculously appear on the table.
At least, that’s the impression my husband left me. A week ago, he casually informed me that he invited over some of his [...]

Summer- a time to frolic under the sun, sandy white beaches under your feet, showing sexy love handles in those skimpy white bikinis, downing tequila by the number…
Or was that Enfamama?
Woke up from my dream and realized no white bikini would ever drape my gorging belly, tequilas would have to be replaced by Anmum or [...]

I received a revelation today…from my husband.
I’m now on my 3rd month of pregnancy and my pain have eased enough for me to join our usual Sunday gathering.
We were having lunch at Friday’s, Trinoma, after Easter Sunday mass, when my mom suddenly asked Emilio which does he prefer – a baby boy or girl? I [...]

“Paglilihi” is such a funny thing.
It is not only a craving for food. It is also an inexplicable aversion to something which one previously liked or enjoyed.
I am a coffeeholic. I like waking up to the smell of coffee in the morning and consider its kick in the afternoon a necessity. Surprisingly, on my 4th-6th week, [...]

Today marks our 2nd year anniversary! Truly a feat for us but one marked with much excitement and happy memories!
We celebrated it at Cyma, Trinoma – a greek meditteranean restaurant we love for its arugula salad and spaghetti with feta cheese and grilled shrimp. They have exotic names for these dishes, but right now, it [...]
