Out of gigil that is.
Is it so weird to be gushing over the cuteness of your own baby?
Well, she doesn’t look like me so no one can say I’m admiring my own looks.
Actually, more than her cute chubby face, Jamaine’s constant babbling has been a great source of amusement for us lately.
When other people hear [...]

Dear A,

Do you remember the first day we met?
We were at the old Varsitarian office in the UST Main Building. You were being oriented about the workings of the publication while I was hanging out waiting for class to start.

“Kailan tayo huling lumabas?” A asked me.
“December?” I said. I remember it was for brunch in Tagaytay a day after my wedding.

Well, I like to write a lot. When an idea strikes me, I want to write it down right away so it won’t slip from my mind. I used [...]

I have a confession to make: When my hubby is not sleeping beside me on the bed, I cannot go to sleep.
So when he has to stay late at work or during boys’ night out, I pop my favorite movies in the DVD player and go on a replay movie marathon until he arrives.
I say [...]

Every payday, I segregate money for bills, for savings and for something I like to call my “happy money.”
My happy money pays for my kikay “necessities,” recent addictions and simple luxuries that make me happy. My hubby fully understands my need for some “happy money” because I consider it my reward for working hard.
Recently though, [...]
