The Life of Kye

It's an all familiar plot in Filipino dramas. When the leading lady starts vomiting, and her mother finds out, the audience automatically assumes that she is pregnant. All drama hell breaks loose. Leading Lady: (Nauseated; pukes on the kitchen sink) Mother: (Sees daughter puking; instantly goes beast mode) Buntis ka?!?! Sinasabi ko na nga ba eh! Nakakahiya ka! Malandi! Haliparot!   Leading Lady: Mahal ko po siya, Nay...   Mother: Anong mahal mahal?!? Ni hindi pa tayo nakakaahon sa hirap nagagawa mo pang maglandi?! Lumayas ka sa pamamahay ko!   Next Scene: Mother drives daughter out of the house, throws her an empty bag and some of her clothes. via GIPHY My pregnancy is not as exciting and dramatic as other women's pregnancy. Why?

Estimated between 9 to 11 weeks pregnant now and I'm still in shock. image from  PIXABAY When I found out, I was on the fifth or seventh week. My husband and I never thought I would conceive this early in our marriage. He's diabetic. I have long and irregular cycle. My age is at the end of the calendar. We were actually conditioning our minds to accept the possibility of not having a child. Until I found out...

image from  PIXABAY No. I'm not Catholic, but as a Filipino citizen, I have an opinion. By the way,  I'm a Bible Baptist . Since we won't agree on faith and beliefs, I'll try my best to express my opinions in the most secular way possible. See the news: Tagle issues 'oratio imperata' for incoming gov’t officials Oratio Imperata has already been implemented in Catholic churches in Metro Manila, and other municipalities in the country. It's a specific prayer for the government recited during the mass. I'm basing this information from the news. I think you'll agree The government NEEDS prayers. Prayers work wonders if you have faith. Implementation of Oratio Imperata: A Political Move?

Finally! DSL Connection!!! I totally forgot we were waiting for this for three months since we applied. One day, the PLDT guys showed up and decided to grant us our magical internet connection.  We waited THREE MONTHS to get connected. THREE MONTHS...  Wow. What a test of patience. via GIPHY Now I'm catching up on Grimm and occasionally, youtube. Good thing is we survived on prepaid internet while waiting for dsl. It wasn't so bad living without being updated all the time. I still don't mind not having television, but a reliable internet connection is kind of a big deal... Especially when I had this moment weeks ago via GIPHY Yup. I guess modern pregnant women need internet because my most recent google search keywords are "_________ (insert food/drink/beauty product/item) safe for pregnant" So I guess, Thank you PLDT!
