2 months ago, I went to a friend’s place and saw how she chronicled in a very detailed fashion, her children’s life from pregnancy down to all firsts and well up to now. I wish I had the time to do the same thing. To think that I only have one child right now and I could hardly find time to do just that and my friend has 3 children. She’s actually encouraging me to do the same.

I finally decided to have a separate blog for my motherhood chronicles. If you have time, please check my new blog – Mommy Bluerlyn. It’s a mix bag of stories from the time I got pregnant to now that I am raising a toddler, to practical tips, mommy and baby products that I used and liked and otherwise. Oh and I just realized how timely it is considering that this coming Sunday the world celebrates Mother’s day. 
Well in case you have spare time and am looking for something to read about pregnancy and parenthood please check out my new blog.
Today, I’m facing a difficult predicament. I’m torn between continuing to work in a corporate set up which comes with a steady monthly income, or take the road less travelled by taking online jobs and my sales career which leaves me with more time with my son. I hope there is an easier way. I feel that I’m not doing more for my son with the current set up that we have. I barely have time to read to him. 
Oh Lord, show me the way.
Jenny McCarthy used to be an MTV Vj, that’s as little as I know about her life before she gave birth. I also know she used to be a sexy ad model when I saw a huge pin up of her wearing a sexy 2-pc bikini posted in the the girls locker and shower room of the gym where I used to work out. I guess it’s a way to encourage girls to lose weight whenever they see her enviable figure.
Going back, I’m really not good when it comes to people in Hollywood so I really don’t know her. I found out about her when my dear godmother and aunt sent me her book – Louder than Words. It’s Jenny’s documentary of when she found out that he son has autism and how she waged a war against it, and WON! Hers is a story of hope and determination.
Currently, I am reading through her follow up book – Mother Warriors.
I saw it in National Bookstore and immediately grabbed it and paid for it at the cashier, never mind that it’s not a budgeted purchase. I need to read it and I need to re-kindle that hope that I can get my son back.
I’m mid way into the book and it’s all about stories about parents who did not give up on their children. Also it is about Jenny’s courageous battle to tell the American Association of Pediatricians that there is a link between the vaccines and autism. We are not just angry mothers looking to for someone or something to blame. Yes our children may have been predisposed but as they say it is the classic case of genetics loaded the gun and environment pulled the trigger. It is disappointing that the AAP would just turn a deaf ear, just because, it is more profitable that way.
To Jenny McCarthy, thank you for offering hope and for standing up for all of us mothers whose once healthy kids were snatched from us by autism with a visit to the pedia and a seemingly harmless vaccination. Thank you for reminding us not to give up the fight. God bless you! Count me in on this fight.
Working moms are sometimes perceived to be bad mothers. Especially in the Philippines where people tend to be more traditional, and as tradition dictates, moms should stay a home to take care and mentor the kids and run the household. Unfortunately, these days, more and more families are unable to have that kind of set up. With the economy getting worse, the women are left with no choice but the join the workforce. But older folks tend to stick to that notion. And I am guilty of the having the same kind of bigotry in the past.

Last Friday, my son gave me a wonderful surprise! They went home from school with that stamp mark on Nathan’s hand. Actually last Friday was the second time he had a good job stamp mark. That picture was taken on the first time he got the mark. Hopefully by January we could start with speech therapy already.

Last Saturday – May 29, 2010, Johnson & Johnson’s held the third part of its Mommy bloggers meet up. It was my first time to attend as I was able to agree to attend other events during the first two scheduled meet ups. But I’m all set for the rest. I met other mom’s, soon-to-be mom’s, and would-be mom’s in the future (the single ladies). Anyway, we met at Dulcinea in Eastwood. Mee-i and I thought there was no one at the venue just yet so off we ate at McDonald’s for breakfast. When we came back after, it was only then that we found out that the event will be taking place at the second floor of Dulcinea and it’s already started. So yeah, we were fashionably late.
The main topics we’ve discussed are: 1.) Creating a Safe Environment for your Baby 2.) Touch Therapy and how it improves your child’s development Read more…
If most Filipinos were asked to describe what a healthy five-month old baby looks like, chances are they would depict an infant that was chubby, rosy-cheeked, glowing, and slightly bigger or taller than other infants. Simply put, it’s a pleasantly plump baby that looks like a character in a Fernando Botero painting.
Although slightly plump babies may look cuter or more robust than “slimmer” infants, the truth is they are over-nourished or overfed than they should be. They are also more prone to diseases and ailments later in life.
