I’d just like to say that Mia already knows the difference between ‘hot’ and ‘cold’ and can confidently identify which objects are without prompting! She can also identify lots of things, living or non-living, point them out, and say their names. It’s times like these that I feel that all my hardships during her first [...]

Sa sakayan ng jeep [lp]
October 29th, 2008 
Iris … madilim. Ito ang istorya niyan. Sana’y magustuhan niyo. if I had a choice to do my life all over again, I’d go back to that afternoon when I sat at a jeepney stop watching the pedestrians and traffic pass by. You see, I wasn’t alone then. you asked me if I wanted dirty ice [...]
Finally home
October 28th, 2008 Iris I’ve been barfed on three times, peed on twice, I’ve changed diapers a hundred times, been called “mommy” by Mia a thousand times while crying, kicked off the hospital bed, and had cramped muscles for carrying a 27-lbs crying toddler. The pains of being a single parent. I’m thankful my family especially my mom were [...]
I made history!
October 25th, 2008 Iris It was 1:00 am and I’ve had no rest, standing up and walking around, carrying a sobbing and uncomfortable Mia. Sometimes I got to put her down on a bed by the hallway, which meant every 10 minutes Mia would stir awake because of the noises around the ER. It was horrible but we managed [...]

It can be used to make the subject more foreboding, threatening, scarier. And ironically, darker. It’s the other side of Light that is underrated. — BKK. Canon [...]
Photobug bit me
October 21st, 2008 Iris Oh ok, so you’ve had enough of me yakking on about these photo contests on Plurk. That doesn’t mean I won’t blog about it too. There’s Lee’s Make History contest, the Digital Photography School’s Portraiture contest, and there’s the Delegation of the European Commission and Philippine Center for Journalism‘s Climate Change photography contest. I happen [...]
Mia’s Floating Friend
October 20th, 2008 Iris This isn’t an early Halloween entry, don’t worry. And besides, I’m not about to spook myself and involve Mia. I found that the floating pet balloons (the shiny doggy) that once used to sell about P500 apiece at Hobbes and Landes in Bonifacio High Street is now selling at only P150 at Toy Kingdom! When [...]

2 Comments »Are you a murderer?
October 17th, 2008 Iris Well at least according to the recent definition of staunch “Pro-Life” supporters. If it means you are in favor of sex education where it matters, and that you think birth control methods should be used in order to avoid unplanned pregnancies (and not just because of premarital sex) but also to avoid ballooning family membership [...]

Happily never after
October 15th, 2008 Iris I don’t think I want this anymore As she drops the ring to the floor She says to herself: ‘You’ve left before’ This time you will stay gone, that’s for sure Tweet
