The mommy who has no back-up

Leave a Comment

I’m one of those moms who considered Ipads, tablets and smartphones a high-tech nanny. If I have a restless toddler, or we’re in the car and I want her to sit down, or just anytime I want to do something, I hand her my phone. And just like that, Gwen already knew what she’ll look for with a few slides on the screen. It still puzzles me how she learned to open apps and watch videos.

Because of this, Jeff kept reminding me to back-up my files especially photos and videos in case Gwen accidentally deletes it. It’s in my to-do list for the longest time, I swear, but but but….

Earlier, this was displayed on my phone…

All photos and videos got deleted

On breast health: impromptu biopsy

19 Comments

This will be a two-part post on breast health, if you’re following me on Twitter, you know that Nanay underwent mastectomy last December because of a malignant tumor in her right breast. That’s why I got so busy because I was the one accompanying her to the hospital for laboratories since November. Thank God it went well and Nanay is fully recovered.

I learned my lesson from Nanay, that I should also visit a doctor for check-up, since I also have a lump in my breast. I had it checked twice pa lang, with Dra. Diana Cua at Medical Plaza Makati, and the other doctor at Makati Medical Center. They said before that it’s benign and no need to undergo surgery because it’s still small. Few months ago, I noticed another lump in my right breast, kaya lang I wasn’t sure if it’s blocked milk ducts since I’m still breastfeeding.

When Nanay decided to pay Dra. Cua’s clinic for a second opinion post-mastectomy, nakisabay na rin ako since I still have my records there. Nanay got her good news that she doesn’t need chemotherapy nor radiation nor other medicines because her case is not a type of cancer, hooray!

Nakaka-smile pa ako before the check-up…

My princess

6 Comments

Gwen is fascinated on being a princess these days. Funny thing is, whenever she sees someone in a dress or flowy skirt, she’ll call it a princess, kahit naka-pambahay o pantulog ka pa basta naka-dress.

Yesterday, we checked out the mini bazaar at ELJ Bldg. and Jeff saw crown trinkets. The daddy insisted that we buy her one.

Now, this is her latest ‘do…

I love you my princess! <3
