Today it just occurred to me that people will never be able to experience Eden the way babies not born during the pandemic were experienced. Her first year of life seems to be in captivity. She’s like one of the hostages of the pandemic. That made me sad. I felt sad because it seems that […]
Had to share this for a laugh Me: Elon look at your cousin. He lost his teeth Elon: What? How old is he? Me : 7, I think Elon : I never want to be 7 because I don’t want to lose teeth Me: But Elon when you lose teeth, you can put it under […]
Ding dong says the bell as I cross the street to drop you off in school. It is the first real sign of the day that I am to part with you. Shakespeare said parting is such sweet sorrow but it’s mostly sorrow for me. Maybe because you’re just 4 and very sweet. My boy, […]
Happy birthday, my love. I have been writing down notes weeks ago for this blog post but nothing ever worked out except for this one I just wrote during the eve of your birthday. I am an ESFJ so below is purely my feelings. Here it goes. I admit it, I have put you aside […]
I have always been a worrier. When I was younger, I would worry for days before the school announces the list of achievers. I had to be at least in the top 3 of my class. I would worry about getting A’s instead of B’s. I would push myself to compete with boys in PE […]
You are probably thinking, "but where's the birds?" Exactly my point. We went to Bird Kingdom thinking that because Elon loves birds so much (it's one of his real first words), he would definitely enjoy being in an aviary. Aviary, as Edward defines it, is a zoo for birds. Right? To put it in simple […]
Let me start not with “the woman I find most beautiful…” Too cliche. Beauty is relative. But cuteness is absolute. My mom is the cutest. Period. No questions. She is the standard when it comes to cuteness. Many people have already told me that Elon looks like my mother. And I totally agree most of […]
Love at first sight? NO!!! When Karen told me to look down to see Elon for the first time, here were my random thoughts: “He has hair!!! I was bald when I was born” “Is he normal? Does he have any birthmark on his face?” “Ok let me see the hands, the fingers, are they […]
I have been wanting to go away on a weekend and stay in a cottage. I wanted to experience the cottage life. And I diiiiid!!! So it was made possible by my aunts who arranged it a year ago. Yay to them! The place was called Shalom and it was directly in front of the […]
“You don’t turn your back on family, even when they do” So maybe I cried a little during that scene from Fast 6. I remembered my family, my mom, my dad and my annoying sister whom I think I have turned my back on when I left for the Philippines. I selfishly lived it up […]
