what’s in a name?
Posted on April 25, 2007 - Filed Under Mateo, Motherhood | 5 Comments
Whenever people would ask why we chose such a name for Mateo, we sometimes find ourselves at a loss on how to answer. So how did we really choose Mateo's name? My best answer would be a baby names book.
At first, people would ask whether we plan to give him Ramil's name. There are a [...]
some crazy shopping

… is what I need. Shopping is therapy for any girl. Buying nice things, even if they're for other people, has never failed to make me feel a bit good especially if the money spent for it is something I can afford to lose.
Unfortunately, I've haven't done some crazy, therapeutic shopping for quite some time. [...]
slimming down

I still have a few pounds to go before I get back to my pre-pregnancy weight. Around 3-5 pounds to be exact. Considering that it's only been a little over three months since I gave birth, I think I'm doing okay in terms of having my old form back.
I've noticed however, that those 3-5 [...]

My mama's friend will be migrating soon. It seems that a lot of people we know are leaving the Philippines, either to work or for good. The usual destinations are Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and of course, USA. My mama's friend will be bringing her whole family to USA. From what I've heard the kids [...]

When I was younger, I didn't like my nose because my parents would tease me about it. According to them, it's not a pretty nose. Though they don't really tell me that my nose is ugly, I got this impression that it rates low on the aesthetics. As I was getting older however, I came [...]

As early as high school, I would tell my friends and anyone who would care to listen that if by age 35 I'm still not married, still doesn't have any child, and without a boyfriend, I would look for a guy who is good-looking and smart. I would try to 'seduce' him in the hopes [...]

The summer heat has been very difficult for Mateo. Our baby seems to have inherited Ramil's tendency to perspire easily. His skin would often feel sticky despite having 2 electric fans turned way up for his sole use. He's been having difficulty trying to fall asleep because of the discomfort he's been experiencing. We've had [...]

Mateo is a mama's boy. But that's according to me. Ask Ramil and he might say that Mateo is a papa's boy. I'd like to think that Mateo is both, actually. Considering that we are the only two people that Mateo sees at least five days a week, it's understandable.

Ramil and I have been waiting for a few weeks now for Mateo to roll over. Mateo can now do this without any effort at all:
The pictures above were taken a week ago. He can now push himself to his waist up, while looking very proud at that. He [...]

Safety while traveling has always been one of our primary concerns. When I got pregnant, Ramil became a safer driver and so much more now that we usually travel with Mateo. We originally planned on buying a car seat for him. However, we've decided on not buying one and even had to [...]
