10 Things You Learn From Being Raised By A Strong Mother

Dear Marciano,

I am sharing you this blog I stumbled upon a few months back. The ten things listed below are few of the things I am grateful for being raised by a strong woman, your Lola. I hope, one day you will look back on this blog and tell yourself that you have learned these things from me as well. I may have a big shoes to fill in, but I have you as my inspiration so there's nothing to worry.

Saturdate with THE NINANGS

Dear Marciano,

Last Saturday, January 23, 2016 you had a date with THE NINANGS Anna and Karina. Ninang Karina picked you up from home and you guys met up with Ninang Anna at the bus stop. I was nervous since they're not communicating with me at all after their last text messages. The last text message that I got from Ninang Karina was that she's on her way to get you while Ninang Anna will take a shower na. Then after a few minutes, Ninang Anna send me a photo of you alone then all of you guys inside the bus and you're all having fun!

Turning 27

26 December 2014

Dear Marciano,

Nanay is turning 27 tomorrow. When I was young, about ten or so I have pictured myself having you by this.time (I was bound to get married to my Prince Charming by 25 anyway). But you know, as I grew older, my thoughts about being married and knocked up by  25 disgusts me. I mean, how can I get married and have a family of my own when I haven't established my career yet? I haven't travel outside the country nor have my own house and car. At 25, I haven't even found the man I will marry yet. So imagine my surprise when I found out that I have you inside me. My world turns upside down so fast and so many times that it took me some time to cope up. You were the biggest surprise I ever had. I really wasn't prepared and have planned nothing yet on what direction I will go through. For a while, everything was a blur. I was like a dead fish going with the flow.
