My Little Notebook

When I was just a little girl, I'm fond of collecting stationeries. Different colors, styles and preferably scented. I’m saving up my allowance so that I can buy another set when I get back to school next morning. I also love making my own slam book out of recycled notebooks from the last school year. I’m the one who is responsible for the designs, styles and even my personalized questions are there. I just don’t like the typical slam books that can be bought in bookstores because I don’t like the common questions and the generic format of them.


When I reached high school, I began to make my own diary out of recycled notebooks, stitched and covered again. At first I began to feel little awkward telling stories to a little notebook. A bit shy while starting it by writing “Dear Diary,.” Then I get used to it. I considered it as my best friend whom I can confide everything, every single night. I can say that it helped a lot especially during my teenage years. Teenagers are naturally embarrassed to talk to parents about their real emotions. Most often than not, they are more comfortable in sharing their feelings with friends which I think is a little dangerous because they usually share the same thoughts and emotions that misled them without the guidance of an adult.
After a few years, I saw my “Little Notebook Friend”, read it once again and I realize how petty things affected my life. But I am also proud of myself because I see my positive outlook in life even in my younger days.

I used to keep a diary also when I was a kid...but my sister kept finding it and then reciting things she's read. That made me stop for a while. But then, blogging came...I realized, I wanted to write something that at least some people would be interested to read. :-)

ENERGEN: My Tummy's Best Friend

I’ve always had a history of hyper-acidity  (also known as acid dyspepsia) since high school. I don’t know when or how did I get it, all I know is just it’s screwing me for over a decade. I am a slow-gainer. I was very skinny back in my elementary days. My mom let me tried different kinds of vitamins but none of them took effect on me. My dad is an OFW back then and when he comes home he jokingly asks my mom if she’s still feeding her kids because me and my only brother look like bamboo sticks (that’s what our bullies called us because we’re thin and tall) even if we get to eat whatever we want. Maybe we have a fast metabolism which everybody envies about especially now that I have kids already, eating everything that I want and still not getting fat. I remember the times that I’ve been hospitalized because of hyper-acidity. The doctor will always come up to a theory that I might be skipping meals but honestly not. Then he’ll ask me if I drink a lot of soda or coff...

Discounts and Privileges for the Persons With Disability

It was only last year when I heard about the PWD card that would give the persons with disability (PWD) the privileges entitled for their needs. The local government amended the Republic Act No. 7277, an act for providing for the rehabilitation, self development, and self reliance of persons with disability and their integration into the mainstream of society and for other purposes and otherwise known as The Magna Carta for Disabled Persons, was passed in March 24, 1992. I am a proud mom of a six-year old child with special needs. He is my second child who was diagnosed with Global Developmental Delay Syndrome. Ever since he was a baby, we noticed some of his traits on lack of potential at certain points of development that made us confused about what to do so we consulted to a Developmental Pediatrician. He was born as an eight-month premature baby boy, sickly and always in the hospital for a long period of time. We're taking good care of him with unconditional love and...

What’s the Best Tasting Milk for Pregnant Women?

I just gave birth five months ago. When I was still pregnant, I was given the chance to try three different kinds of milk that is best suitable for pregnant women. Every time I visit my OB-Gynecologist, there was always a sample of milk especially made for pregnant women given by the promo representatives of each milk in the waiting area. I have tried at least three of them and I would like to give you my honest opinions regarding its taste because this kinds of milk are known to have unpleasant taste since it is loaded with vitamins and essential nutrients so it is tend to taste like medicine even if it is flavored.
