Writer's Block


My last entry was a week ago. I intend to post daily or at least three times a week. However, I didn’t have the drive to write something these past days. I just really have to finish an article for a job today that I find myself internalizing again on what to write next on my personal blog. Call it a writer’s block, or whatever. I was unable to think of what to write or how to proceed with it.

I was so motivated in building up my blog and already jotted down list of topics I’d be covering. But whenever I turn the laptop on, I was shifted to doing other things. Writing, which is supposed to be my comfort became a burden. Maybe because I was so pre-occupied with the thought that I must come up with articles that will be of interest to my readers. I forgot the first reason why I started blogging again, and that’s to simply express my thoughts, whether someone will read them or not. I was also bothered with self-doubt and fear of being laugh at with possible grammar and syntax errors. English is not my primary language, I speak Visayan, and our national language is Filipino. I wanted to write in English, so I can practice my English writing skills and to cater a variety of readers. If I write in Visayan, only my Visayan readers can relate. If I write in Filipino or Tagalog, I would end up committing more grammatical mistakes.


Aside from these, my daughter’s babysitter went home so I must do all the household chores while taking care of Aki. Being a Stay-at-home mother is really a challenging job. I am starting to consider going back to work, in fact.

I know I just needed a little break. I will be back soonest.

WHAT MOTHERHOOD TAUGHT ME THAT MADE ME A BETTER INDIVIDUAL

To all mothers in every circumstance, including those who struggle- and all will- I say “Be peaceful. Believe in God and yourself. You are doing better than you think you are.” -Jeffrey Holland I grew up in an environment where women are empowered. My mom single-handedly raised us when my father died. I was only 6 that time, my younger brother at 4. Life was hard but I didn’t know that because my mother was able to conceal the ugly side of life. Fast forward to present and I am now a mother myself. My daughter will be turning 3 this May and so far, I’m still able to cope up with the hustle and bustle of motherhood. Wow! Life’s pretty amazing and chaotic with a toddler. Being a millennial mom, these are the things that I’ve learned and experienced that I want to share with you. If you are a mother yourself, I know you can relate with these. If you are expecting or planning to have kids in the future, these might give you an idea of what awaits you. #1. A baby i...

PRODUCT REVIEW: CREAM SILK DRY RESCUE

I was not into hair conditioners. I can live without it as long as I wash my hair with shampoo. Shampooing removes dirt and oil, leaving hair squeaky clean. However, it can also make your strands dry. I’ve been using organic shampoo for months and I noticed that my chemically-treated hair was becoming parched and frizzy. I don’t blame the organic shampoo though. Any shampoo can really make your hair dry.   I felt the need to use conditioners. Weeks ago, while I was searching for the best fit for my hair, I came across Sample Room’s website that offers free samples of different hair care products. I opted to try Cream Silk since it’s one of the most popular hair care products in the Philippines when it comes to conditioners. Last week, I got my free samples and tried it immediately. Brand: Cream Silk Dry Rescue Hair Reborn Conditioner The label claims it has customized solutions designed for Filipinas which got me because some products work differently to different ra...

Why I Cook My Own Food and Why You Should Too

I used to be a fast food type of eater. Because of the kind of job that I had before, I would rather eat outside than cook my own food simply because it's convenient. Now that I'm a SAHM, I prefer cooking food for my family. This is a blog post about why you should cook your own food rather than buying outside. 1. It's way cost-effective Go to the groceries or to the local public market and you'd be amazed with the variety of ingredients you can buy at a lesser price. You get both the quantity and quality you are looking for. I remember one time I complained about how expensive the serving in one restaurant when I can have a bigger and cheaper serving if I'd cook at home. Well, you don't just pay for the food but also pay for the place, the resto's name, and the convenience of not having to prepare the meals. 2. It's healthier Think about the amount of junk food you are ingesting when you eat at some fast food chains. The foods are prepared...
