Almost halfway through in the first month of the year. 

Our little Hiraya is hitting her 3rd month of making our lives a rollercoaster ride with giggles and just love at every end of the ride. 

One day she was a very tiny living thing that can fit into a shoebox, now she is still a tiny human being that had occupied so much of my heart and my daily life. 

This new life is overwhelming and really in need of constant attention and care 24/7. 

I dreamt of this, but didn't get to see the reality of it until it came. 

In all of it, it is an honor to be given a child, to be given a responsibility for another human from birth until who knows when. 

Right now, this bundle of joy loves to be cuddled every time, has a radar when mama leaves her side while she is sleeping. 

She is also a great crier with sound overpowering the sound of the shower. 

She has that smile that melts my heart everytime. 

She has that tiny body that I love to embrace. 

I am not putting off my dreams when she arrived in my life. She is one of the many dreams and having her with us just pushes me to achieve more and more not just for myself, but for our little family of 3.

The Man Behind the Metaphors

The skies had been dark like a storm is coming. It had been raining the whole night long and when I woke up that day, I had fears that Sir Jonathan can’t come to school anymore due to the heavy downpour. I opted not to ask for I may just get the dreaded response. I prepared for school. Ate breakfast, brought my laptop since I thought I may just have to stop by a coffee shop after school and finish the item analysis I am doing. It was very difficult to get a ride. I wish I can afford to buy a car and save myself and my stuff from getting wet and so that I can bring more things to school for experiments and so that I can to all the places I wanna go to and I don’t have to worry about over-packing stuff and I have thought about all of these just because its raining heavily and I have no school bus anymore L When I arrived, the school seem deserted. No kids nor parents were at the gate. The guard told me that the principal decided to suspend the class lest the heavy rains cou...

It is already 4:21 AM and I am still wide awake. I woke up with sweat all over my neck, wanting to pee and can't get over the feeling of heat. Though the AC was in the blast, the electric fan is also blowing.  I decided to just get up and do stuff on my laptop, most of the things that I had held off within the day because I would rather just do tinkering and cleaning around the house instead of focusing on what I know are also important for me.  For the next months, the AC will be on blast mode for long hours and hours and as much I am feeling anxious as to where we will be taking the money from to pay for our monthly bills, I know that we will be alright. I am just not used to not being in control and in decision for most of my adult life but for the next few months, it will have to be a different phase and set for me as I enter motherhood and staying home way longer than I am used to.  As we explore options for the future, I am very much confident that my husband and I ...

Time Alone

I was digging into my email for a copy of my resume and got this.... Sent on 3/7/2012, antagal na pala. Makapag-emo nga muna... hahaha.... It's been almost two years now. Minsan sa buhay ko, na-in-love ako, nakasakit ng damdamin at nasaktan in the end. But that doesn't stop me from loving again. As to when, only time can tell. Dear ____, I am so sorry for everything. No words or thing could ever equate to the pain and havoc I had cause to your heart. This is me, trying to pick up the pieces of myself and trying to be a better person that I can be after all those mistakes I had done. I am sorry if I had stopped you from being happy with someone else, it was the selfish me who was talking back then. I am sorry for causing you so much confusion for I myself was lost and don't know what to do.  I am sorry for letting you be part of my misery. When all of these had started, all I was wanted was to be happy. To be that girl a man could ever need. I was blinded and m...
