Our Home

Yesterday was a full day for me and my fiance. We went to see our future house up north to measure the dimensions of the bedrooms, kitchen, dining and living rooms. My purpose is to check how little our furniture should be. Our house is quite small, but bigger than regular townhouses in the Metro. We've spent a lot of time looking for the best home that will fit our needs (and wants), failed once and lost around Php 15,000 and after a few months of searching, we have finally gave in to this house up north. 

After going to our beloved jewelry maker to bring my jewelry for polishing and give them my design for a customized ring (if you guys need an engagement ring, wedding ring, or customized jewelries - necklace, bracelets or earrings, let me know. We have a trusted jewelry maker in Bulacan and they are very cheap), we went to Manila to finally get our invites. Yes, they are ready for distribution, so we'll be seeing some friends to personally handover our wedding invites. We stopped by SM to refresh ourselves and while strolling, I asked Lester to check out Our Home. Naks, parang totoo na!


I'm computing spending six digits just for furniture and appliances at home. Bed frames and mattress do not come together so to sum it all, I'm estimating spending around 30-40K for a double bed pa lang (mall price)! I will probably don't care at all. It's our bed! We still have to look for sofa sets, light enough to fit our living room. Lester's thinking of a sofa bed out of rattan and window blinds out of organic materials. Sabi ko, "alam mo ba kung gaano kamahal yun?" Imagine, a Kenneth Cobonpue furniture costs around triple or x4 the price of a regular sofa! We also tried looking putting the not so usual Venetian blinds but we found it too pricey in our home (new one in QC). But if that's what he likes, we will have to look for local suppliers of furniture, non-branded and cheaper. 

It was fun and I am looking forward for more arguments and agreements on how our house will look like. The designs, material and the over all look matter to us - it's our home!

From Bottles to Cups

Two weeks before getting back to work, we practiced Sofia drinking from a feeding bottle. Although lactation experts do not recommend this, my husband and I still let Sofia to use bottles while I'm away. Luckily, Sofia took the bottles easily and more luckily, still latches on me when we're together. However, feeding bottles made me stressed out because of my fear of nipple confusion and thus might result to less milk production. My husband and I agreed to cup feed Sofia when she turns 6 months. During weekends few weeks before she turned 6 months, I practice her to drink from a cup. It wasn't easy at all- we had a lot of spills! At six months, we were consistent drinking milk from the cup after eating but she still takes the bottle when she needs to sleep. Until we observed she dropped bottles little by little from 5 to 4 to 3 bottles a day. A few weeks before turning nine months, Sofia weaned herself drinking from feeding bottles. They tried offering her bottles ...

The Search for the Right Pedia

As new parents, Lester and I wanted the best for Sofia and during her first year, the best that we can provide to her is the best pediatrician who will not only care for Sofia’s health but also guide us, new parents. There was only one thing in my mind that I require for a pediatrician – a true breastfeeding advocate. Not because it’s “in” and because all moms look for them but because they are passionate about this advocacy. We’ve tried four pediatricians but we stayed for a few months (or even days or weeks) with some of them and lasted to our fourth one. Let me tell you why: First Pedia: I’ve probably named her already in some of my blogs after I delivered Sofia. She was an advocate. She taught me how to breastfeed and never recommended giving formula. We got Sofia’s shots from her and her style was more on “let me know how parenthood went” and then after that, she’ll give advice. We “clicked” because she was almost of the same age as ours (a schoolmate of mine, some years o...
