Daddy, it has been a year since your passing. But I believe even though you are not physically present anymore, you have your means and ways to make us feel your presence. I am thankful to God, because He gave us people who will help us get through everything. We may not have fully moved on… but at least we have people who are there every time we need them.   Thank you to our relatives from my dad’s side… Tita Myrna/Tito Ralph and Kaye, though miles away, manages to keep in touch with us through phone calls… always ready to help us in any way. Tito Ador and Tita Nemie, though also already living in the States… thank you for sharing your pictures through FB… I am happy everytime I see Tito Ador’s pictures… because even with the 10 year difference… you look a lot like Daddy. For Ate Loida, thank you for calling my mom once in awhile to share amusing stories. For Omar and Lenin, thank you for helping us with some errands and for looking after the “coconut plantatio...

I am now 7 1/2 months pregnant, a very much obvious pregnant woman. At least now, at the first glance, people already recognizes that I am actually pregnant and not a person who just came from a buffet. I just read my post on being fat and pregnant . A post that I wrote when I was only on my 3 rd month. This post got 660 page views to-date from different parts of the world. This is really a surprise to me since I never even posted this in my facebook account. People just searched fat pregnant people, obese and pregnant etc. so I guess there are a lot of people around the globe going through the same experience as I am. My pregnancy and my experience is not unique. I am not alone. Anyway at that time, my main concern is what people think about me and how they react to my changing body. I was too sensitive back then because I was still adjusting to all changes that are happening in my body. Now that I am on my last trimester, yes I may still have some episodes wherein I get consci...

Changing center of gravity: The first reason you may be stumbling is obvious—you're getting bigger. As your belly grows outward, your whole center of gravity is thrown. After walking perfectly for years, your body now has to constantly realign itself to keep you upright—no wonder you're tripping. It may seem that this new life inside you has taken over your brain. Be assured, this is not the case. As your belly begins to expand and your baby grows, your center of gravity will begin to shift. While you are pregnant you may notice your balance is a little off, increasing your risk of tripping or mis-stepping. Though your baby-to-be is well cushioned in your belly, falling wouldn’t be good for either of you. You will want to start being more careful when moving about. Here are a few tips: Try not to carry things around with you that if dropped, could harm yourself. Use the handrails when going up or down stairs. Do not wear high heeled shoes, but instead, comfortable shoes tha...
