crap, im not good with this..
since my very persistent friend keeps insisting i should update this (you know who you are), here goes..
I havent been doing much lately, other than being a full-time mom of course. That's what i've been doing day in and day out for as long as i can remember now..
I remember when i was pregnant, a colleague of mine told me that after giving birth you get to be more forgetful.. Like a person's name or things that happened last year.. little stuff. I guess i could vouch for that, although i do like to think of it as something different. After being a mother, i've noticed that you get to have more respect for life.. now dont get me wrong.. I just meant that you get to appreciate the present (and future) more because you know that it holds something bigger than you now. So you get to forget the little things that used to matter so much in your life. Like you forget you had your nails done last Tuesday because you just heard your son's first word the same day.. or the TV show you used to watch each time because of a doctor's appointment.
I love how i get to love those things i used to take for granted. Like being able to sit and really enjoy a cup of coffee.. I cant do much of that these days with louis running around all the time
I know that someday i will have more time for myself again.. but im in no rush.. i love how slow it is moving.

my sanctuary
BOOKS. Now that's a good escape.. every now and then, we do need a break. from all the problems, the drama, or sometimes of all the good things. in short: life.
it's definitely a good cure for loneliness. speaking from experience, of course. from everything i've went through (hell and back again) it's been my one ally. the one who knew exactly what i needed.
lately, we've been reunited. during my weak moments when talking doesn't help.. im still struggling, i guess.. still fighting for the peace i rightly deserve. of course, that's not always the case but again, weak moments.
haay, i long for the day when i can open up a good book and truly appreciates its value. not just an excuse for distraction. i guess that's why i hardly go out these days, but that's a different story.. maybe if im not too distracted, i'll write about one of those days.
PS. Orhan Pamuk's my guide these days.. with My name is Red.

of new beginnings
a friend insisted that i should start blogging, so here i am.
what to say? well, for one thing, i'd like to say sorry to all those people who kept telling me they're texting me or trying to contact me and i haven't replied. it wasn't intentional, im just on hiatus.. from the old me. if i could call it that.
a lot has happened, as most of you know and it's not really a life that's easy to adjust to so i'm taking baby steps (imagine the irony). i try to live my life one day at a time as most people would, but mine for a slightly different reason. being a mom hasn't been easy, that much can be said but blessings have been coming which i immensely appreciate. there are days when i feel like i've lost my sanity, strength, and confidence... ( i think it's somewhere in DE right now.. hehe.. just so you know i hate not being able to talk to you like we used to!) fortunately, id be reminded that friends and family are conveniently within my reach and that sometimes i feel guilty for taking advantage of such a huge blessing.
well, so far it's getting easier as days pass. my son's getting bigger, learning a lot and at the same time, teaching me something in return.. life has been good.
