We’re now entering the second week of school and already, we missed a day because of typhoon Frank. I would have expected myself to be ecstatic about it. Even though I was grateful for the extra day that Ramil and I get to stay home and spend more time with Mateo, I was surprisingly a [...]

another baby

Not for me and Ramil! A friend of mine recently announced that she’s pregnant again. Although it made me reflect on when we’re planning to have another one too, it’s just not for us right now. I’m excited for my friend though. Other friends are planning a baby shower for her and I might be [...]

I haven’t updated my blog in quite awhile. Blame it on my decision to go back to teaching full-time! Hehe! I’ve been so busy the past week trying to prepare for the opening of classes tomorrow. Mateo has had two yayas in a span of a week. Ramil and I have resorted to getting one [...]

going full-time

When I was still pregnant with Mateo, I was sure I wanted to be the one to take care of him. I left the decision of resigning up in the air and thought of not making a decision until things settle down and everything is clearer. I gave birth on a January, which actually leaves [...]

love for balls

Ever since Mateo was smaller, he loves balls more than any other toy. We first introduced him to a small bag of soft balls. It has a basketball, a football, a soccer ball, and a baseball. He loved them so much that he’d call anything round a ball. ‘Bah’ is his first word aside from [...]

This is my first time to join the PMN Fam Pics. The theme for this month is at play and I couldn’t decide which pictures of Mateo to put. Haha! So I’ve decided to post three of the most recent…

misbehavior as a way to get a parent’s attention

Posted on December 31, 2007 - Filed Under Mateo, Motherhood, On Me | 8 Comments

Ramil and I were never the type of children who misbehaved to get our parents’ attention when we were growing up. I’m not saying we never misbehaved but we misbehaved for different reasons. Aside from seeing some evidences of this in some of our students, I never thought I’d find myself at the receiving [...]

our little young boy

Posted on November 20, 2007 - Filed Under Mateo, Motherhood, On Me | 6 Comments

These past few weeks, I’ve been so senti. I’d look at my baby and think that he’s not a baby anymore! He’s looking more and more like a little boy with each passing day.

Looking at his pictures could bring such feeling of longing for the small, dependent baby that I use to have. I’m beginning [...]
