My Mom Does It All!

I still remember my childhood memories like it just happened yesterday. Our neighbors always come up to us and look for my mom to have their hair cut, or manicure and pedicure. She does all of this in our living room or a home service if the client preferred. Since there is no hair rebond, hair spa or cellophane treatment that time, it was always just a hair cut or hair curls.

My mom took up a short vocational course in hair dressing when she married my dad at the age of 20 so me and my only brother grew up seeing her styling her own hair and even cutting her own hair by just facing the mirror and a few twists and turns of her arms then she’s done…magnificently.


My dad is an OFW then, but the income somehow doesn’t make us to be able to live a comfortable life. My mom loves us very much and she wanted to give us everything we need so she decided to work in different salons within the city but she still accepts to do the service once in a while if there’s an opportunity. She is the most productive and industrious woman on earth.

I am now an adult, I have 2 kids already, as well as my brother who has a child already but believe me, and no one had the chance to do our hair cut except from my mom. She can do everything.

And now, in a hair rebond, hair spa and Justine Bieber era, my mom still lives through her forte in a first class salon because she doesn’t want to stop doing her passion.

I am so lucky because I don’t get to spend thousands of money to be able to get these treatments and even to go out of my comfort zone just because of my loving and generous mom. I love you, Mommy!

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...

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...

Conti's Ensaimaditas and Cheese Swirl

And as usual, this is one of the delightful sweet pasalubong from hubby. He’s the sweetest person on earth who loves simple presents and big surprises.  He arrived at home from his night shift duty at around 8am. My little boy and I just got up from bed, me having my cup of coffee and my little boy having his glass of milk. It’s just another morning of what-to-prepare-for-breakfast dilemma of a mom when he arrived with 2 boxes of bread.  I would like to share my honest review with Conti's Ensaimaditas and Cheese Swirls.
