Why Our Kids Are Not Our Priority

We worked very hard to be good parents for our kids. What we didn’t realize was how we’ve stopped working hard for each other.… Read More Why Our Kids Are Not Our Priority

32

My birthday is coming up soon and I don’t think I have felt so jaded before. Granted, I have never truly been big on birthdays (except perhaps my husband’s), but I did somehow look forward to it. This time around, I don’t even feel like I want to know it’s my birthday. For one, I… Read More 32

Because Postpartum Depression Is Real

Postpartum depression

Last week, a new mother jumped to her death from the 16th floor of her high-rise apartment. She had a 10-day old baby and the reason she jumped? She was pressured to breastfeed her baby, but wasn’t able to produce much supply. This news shook me as well as angers me because she was pressured to… Read More Because Postpartum Depression Is Real

Sometimes I Need To Punch Something

I’ve been feeling extremely angry for the past few days. I blame the heat because it has been seriously hot and humid where I am and I don’t function well in heat. I don’t. At all. I get irritated easily, I get pissed of at almost anything and everything. But deep down, I know that… Read More Sometimes I Need To Punch Something

Facebook me your twitter so I can WhatsApp you my Instagram

I had to take a minute to let that sink in. I don’t know about you, but that didn’t sound weird to me at all. But then again, these words are part of everyone’s conversation nowadays that they’re hardly alien or weird at all. It starts with that, doesn’t it? Conversations. One person decided to text a… Read More Facebook me your twitter so I can WhatsApp you my Instagram

Dear Some Women

Dear some women,Give your man a break.So much stereotype and expectations are put on them that it’s no wonder they feel like letting you down sometimes. He’s only human. Just as the way you complained that you’re only human when you feel like you have to do everything around the house.Women always talk about how… Read More Dear Some Women

Dear Some Men,

Dear some men,   I know you work hard to provide for the family. I know you have millions of things on your mind about where the money goes and you worry about how much you have left at the end of the month.   But take some time to look at your wife.  … Read More Dear Some Men,

Of Love or Lust

I recently spoke to an old friend whom I have not seen for several years. Our conversations fell into place easily enough, assuring me that we’re closer than we think because despite not seeing each other for a long time and for the occasional random comments on each other’s Facebook status, we’re still able to… Read More Of Love or Lust

Another Year Gone, Another One Approaches

Another few days to 2014. Where the heck did the time go? I remember when I was little feeling like the year will never end. Now I didn’t even know where each day went. Despite waking up every morning not knowing whether I can make it through the day with so many things happening around… Read More Another Year Gone, Another One Approaches

The Way Kids See It

We were watching Mrs. Doubtfire few nights ago. Robin Williams was packing his stuff in the car and hugging his kids goodbye. Eros: Where is Daddy going? Me: He’s going to live in a new house. Eros: But why? Me: Because Mommy and Daddy had a big fight so now they want to take time… Read More The Way Kids See It

Starry Night

I went out for a short walk tonight after getting some groceries because the night was so beautiful. I was walking home when I looked up to the sky and saw a starry night with a crescent moon. The sky was so clear and the lights of the stars were so sharp they looked almost… Read More Starry Night

Just Us

We will be 5 years together this May. Or at least 5 years in a full committed relationship. I think I knew Mohen close to 7 years now. Yeah, I’m pretty sure it’s 7 years. It’s amazing how things turned out for the both of us. When we met, we never thought we would be where… Read More Just Us

Three Times A Charm

Damien Emil Mohen was born on November 28th, 2012. That’s just 17 days after my daughter turned 1. That’s just another 2 months and 26 days before my eldest son turns 4.

My Online Published Article

Okay, I know this is probably nothing but I got my first online published article last night! I follow this blog on writing – Writing Hood; and one of the posts by the blogger was about blogging sites that pay and (most importantly) are not scams. He has a lot of sites recommended but there are… Read More My Online Published Article

My Why

I’ve been trying to complete my book for almost a year now. I’ve read enough about real-life stories of aspiring and published authors alike and I know that writing doesn’t happen in one night. And most of the time it’s a work in progress. There are enough quotes and anecdotes about writing for everyone to… Read More My Why

What Wo(Man) Wants

So I decided to be less of a sexist. People always talk about what women want but I don’t think I’ve seen a movie or as much fuss about what men want. Maybe because people tend to assume everyone knows what men want. As a matter of fact, I can bet a couple of dollars on… Read More What Wo(Man) Wants

What Disney Taught Me

Ever since I’ve resigned, I’ve spent a lot of times accompanying Eros watching the TV. It’s one way of us spending time together and also to make sure he’s not watching the unnecessary programs. I usually sit with him and we talk about the colors and discuss the things that are going on in the… Read More What Disney Taught Me
