Habang Buhay

I know it's already a week late for this. But just in case you are wondering if Jan and I are still okay because I have not posted anything on our anniversary —which is very unusual because I do it every single year—yes, we are okay. Very much okay. It's just that, I TOTALLY forgo…

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.

So I Bit the Forbidden Fruit

But unlike Eve, the devil had nothing to do with it.

Parenting 201

Women my age don't get knocked up easily. Or so I thought. It takes a lot longer to get pregnant again. Or so I was told. So we made love unprotected. And surprise, surprise! It only took less than two months to miss a period. While the news was one of the best we received, it honestl…
