Is There an OFF Button for Motherhood?

It may not seem like it but, truthfully, I am terrible when it comes to parenting. A lot of moms probably feel the same way, too. It's just that people don't really talk about it. The truth is, parenting is something most mothers struggle to enjoy. It is a hard and thankless job.

I've Gone to the Dark Side

Jan Made Clones

"Kamukha ng tatay noh?"  Those were the doctor's exact words when I gave birth to our daughter two days ago.  I rolled my eyes in disbelief. That was the most difficult pregnancy and the most painful (albeit the fastest and shortest)  labor experience  I ever had. Tapos magi…

My Trafalgar Law hoodie arrived a few days ago. It reminded of the first time I had laid my eyes on this badass tattooed doctor with a goatee *gasps*. It was law at first sight.  I have also been binge-watching and catching up with One Piece lately and I remember the fun times I had with…
