The Guilt of Having a C-Section

January 3, 2018

When I found out I was pregnant, I was overjoyed, I was elated, I was stupefied and I was also terribly anxious. I was so eager to give birth and hold my little boy in my arms. I knew it was a boy the day I found out. VJ kept talking to him gender neutral, …

I am NOT 13 Anymore

December 18, 2017

Slow down, you crazy child You’re so ambitious for a juvenile But then if you’re so smart, then tell me Why are you still so afraid? – Vienna by Billy Joel This song is simply wonderful, the lyrics are magical and it is to the point. It’s so amazing that it hits you in all …

Baby Sensors

December 12, 2017

If you think this is about a baby product or a sensor that can detect babies nearby, then you are wrong. You can either continue reading it and have fun, or just go drink some wine (you should do that, I’m really not a great writer, but hey I already got your view). So since …

Happy Anniversary My Love (From Po to VJ)

December 8, 2017

Hey VJ, So I think the whole world knows about our love story. I remember seeing you for the first time and just melting in my spot. I remember Pooh and my other friend, telling me you totally like me too, but you weren’t as subtle as me. But you know, you took your time to …

Let’s Love Ourself Challenge

November 29, 2017

For the past few days, I’ve been dealing with some severe body image issues. Most of my friends are really lean and do not have trouble with being overweight. Standing beside them makes me hate my body and myself. Everyone has convinced me that I need time to recuperate and my body is still healing …

The Sine Wave

November 27, 2017

Today I want to discuss a lighter topic – the effects of romcoms on women. Watching romcoms is like a sine wave. You get the highest crest while watching them and then the lowest trough once you are done. In fact, blood flows through arteries, very much like a sine wave, where the amplitude is the …

Every Woman is a Warrior

November 20, 2017

So today, I’m going to talk about why women everywhere are warriors. Before I start off, I read this beautiful saying, “I think women are foolish to pretend they are equal to men. They are far superior and always have been. Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater. If you give her sperm, …

Importance of Raising Your Kids to be Feminists

November 16, 2017

I think of myself as a Feminist. I try to impose the same in the house. That there’s no difference between a guy and a girl except the biological one. I have fought hard against my parents to be one. I have always been a tomboy. I rebelled against my parents to be what I …

Thank You Kind Stranger

November 13, 2017

This is the time of the year when the days become shorter and nights become longer, the time of winter solstice. Longer nights imply more thinking time at night if you are like me. This is the time of the year when resolutions are in the making. In just a few more weeks, you will …

What not to say to your Friends living abroad

November 6, 2017

So I’ve been living in the States for quite a while now (almost five years) and I keep getting these comments like – “Wow, your life is set”, “Wow, you are living in a developed country”, “Wow you are bloody rich” and least but not the last, “Wow can you get me an iPhone?” To …
