One of my questions before was how will Yesha learn to read. But then, at around six or seven years old, Yesha has learned to read chapter books and is quite enjoying it. She can now read independently on her own with fluency and comprehension. But she still sometimes need assistance for big words such as miraculous. When she was …

As an introvert, particularly INFJ, I am badly in need of some me-time. Me-time is somewhat like having a down-time. I also consider it as an act of loving myself. It allows me to deposit on my personal love bank by spending time alone, not catering to anyone’s emotional needs. When this love bank gets full, I have more love …

Yesha has been attending gymnastics classes at Club Gymnastica Pasig for two years now. We first enrolled her when she was 5 years old. It’s a good thing she enjoyed it. Ang likot din naman nya kasi, kaya bagay lang din sa kanya yung sports. Since then, she was able to attend two summer culminations and a few competitions na …

Last week, bumili ako ng dalawang pares na goldfishes. Gusto kasi namin ni Yesha magkaron ng pet fishes. Kaya lang, unfortunately, kinabukasan, namatay yung tatlo :(. Sabi ni Ebet, di daw kasi ako muna nagreresearch. Actually, he disapproved me buying. Di ko naman alam na ganun pala yung pag-aalaga ng pet fish, maraming ek-ek… Maraming kailangang malaman. Anyway, meron pa …

Some parents are concerned with their introvert kids. Their children tend to be cautious when faced with new people and environment. During parties, they are usually the ones who stay seated with their moms while the other children were enthusiastically joining the games. And most of the times, these kids would spend more time alone, doing solitary activities, than when …

There were days when I think that I’m not for motherhood. I dislike the physical aspect of mothering — feeding my daughter, giving her a bath, and fixing her hair, among other things. I actually envy those moms who find fulfillment doing these. Sometimes I wish to get us a yaya to do the things for my daughter that I …

Hubby has been very busy lately that he is falling short with his family time. Stressing on our business plus attending a series of seminars are filling his schedules for the past four months. I was actually fussing about it, but thankfully he decided to have a 4-day vacation at Subic last week as a short break from his duties, which …

Yesha has always been clingy to her daddy. Whenever hubby’s at home, Yesha would often rub herself against him like a purring cat. When hubby is working on the desktop, Yesha would sit on his lap, wiggle, and squirm, until it irritates hubby. And when hubby is on our business office, Yesha would always want to come and work with …

There were many times when my daughter asked me to do some things for her: “Mommy, can you please give me some water?” “Mommy, can you turn of the light, please?” “Mommy, can you clean up my toys?” And there were also many times when husband and I endured her temper tantrums for not giving in to her requests. Although …

My brother is 27 years old this year. Ever since he finished college, he has difficulty landing a job. He would go to interview one after another only to receive that perfunctory remark “we’ll call you,” and yet receiving none. He has probably lost count of the interviews he has been into. Although he doesn’t say it, I know those …
