    Friend: "I set up my kid's email address, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and Snapchat account as soon as she was born." Me: "That's nice." Friend: "Did you? You should, you know." Me: "No. I only registered her domain name."

    It’s funny how Jollibee becomes a big part of a parent’s life as soon as their child reaches 2. Since Gabby now adores Jollibee, I just got her a Talk & Blush Doll. It costs me P420, a Happy Meal, and later on, three AA batteries. A cousin gave us one of Jollibee’s older plush…

    I used to wonder why tribal women don’t wear any clothes on top. For me, it was scandalous. Only when I started breastfeeding did it occur to me that our culture have over sexualized the boobs that we have forgotten that its primary function is to feed. I wish public breastfeeding is easy. I wish…

    My little girl is going to baby school! We paid a visit to The Little Gym, and found out that they have a class for her age group called “Bugs.” Can you tell how excited I am? I’m honestly running out of activities for our 8 month old. Plus I’m an insecure mom who always…

    “I’m breastfeeding. Period.” I must’ve really sounded resolute — or maybe my doctors got tired of my incessant calls to their clinics — but after a couple of months, they finally agreed to stop my medications so I could breastfeed my baby. Ironically, my lactation consultants weren’t optimistic. I didn’t breastfeed for the first few…

    Before anything  else Let me mention that I’m not allowed to breastfeed. Barely 24 hours after I’ve given birth, the doctors immediately began my Lupus treatments. . I still plan on pumping though. Even if I can’t feed the baby my milk. Hopefully I could pressure my doctors to stop all my treatments, at least…

    Just to be clear: I don’t force my friends to buy me gifts. My ideal baby shower gifts are pre-loved stuff, mainly due to the amount of garbage people usually accumulate as soon as their kids outgrow their things. However, my family, relatives, and friends have been bugging me what else I need … so…

    Something weird happened when I became pregnant. I started hating a lot of pregnant women. As in a lot. Well, not all. But the ones who are so hung up on their pregnancy & symptoms that they need to share & complain about every single damn thing to the entire universe. I was weird. I was…
