Shopping (read: retail therapy) was the one thing I sorely missed while pregnant. The heaviness of my belly just made it uncomfortable for me to walk from Point A to Point D of the mall. Thankfully, we got lots of stuff (mostly clothes) from relatives and the office baby shower. Hubby also happily took charge of choosing the crib, car seat and stroller. Chicco was one great store to shop in since they discounted your total bill by 10 per cent if you become a member for just P100. Here's the Mr. Z in action at the Chicco store :D Being the bag hag, I wanted to ... Continue Reading...

Fear not, the Cesarean section….
Warning: pretending to be medical post ahead. A friend of mine said she couldn't imagine going under the knife to deliver a baby. I also had this fear, prior to having last week's C-section even though I've had it before. I guess it's just something you'll have to face head-on. A Cesarean is a major abdominal surgery, all right, but it is also one which gives the biggest bonus since you get to bring home a breathing bundle of joy ;) Truth is, I've had a normal delivery with my son (where unfortunately labor was induced) and two consecutive C-Sections, ten years ...

Welcome to the world baby Lucy!
Hubby and I welcomed the newest (and last!) addition to the family, our daughter Lucia Solenn - a.k.a. Lucy - last May 13. Although I was scheduled to have my C-section on May 17 yet, she chose to arrive on the 13th which was the Feast Day of Our Lady of Fatima. As I was telling my friends, it's a nice coincidence that Lucia, the name I thought of before I gave birth, was known as one of the three shepherd children who saw the Virgin Mary's apparitions in Fatima in 1917. Perhaps it is God's way of telling me to start my devotion to the Holy Rosary again ;) I didn't ... Continue Reading...

PCOSmachine : the Pinoy Twitter sensation
Much to our relief, the PCOS (precinct count optical scan) machines didn't fare badly as we thought during the May 10 2010 elections. I join the nation in praising the conduct of the polls and how the votes were promptly and easily counted, the automated way. Although doubts have been raised as to the influence of the online media in the outcome of the votes, this didn't prevent people from exchanging post-election chit-chat and banter through the internetz. Three sites I was glued in all this time: Facebook, Twitter and the news. Who would have thought the ... Continue Reading...
