Having a Baby

Call Time
Just like any other Pinoy, I owned a cell phone (CP) when I was still in the Philippines. But unlike any other Pinoy, I don’t like it that much. Actually, the first CP I bought was not for me but for my baby brother which I gave him as Christmas gift. The second CP I […]

A Couple’s Hope
To most of us the term in vitro is unknown or unheard of but when talking about couples having children, it actually refers to what we commonly know as “test tube baby”—a term which may imply disapproval on the procedure or simply a short description on how it is done.

Mini Explosion in my Kitchen
Last Tuesday, I went to Walmart for our bi-weekely grocery shopping. Pata (Pig’s legs) was not in my list but when I saw them looking fresh, I bought 2 big pieces thinking that I can make them into some real good tasting Crispy Pata. I never cooked Crispy Pata before but I am willing to […]
