I got denied of my US Visa again, for the second time. I am grateful for the opportunity to experience sadness in a life that is full of wins- it reminds me to stay grounded. I am excited for what the universe has planned for me because I know it’s going to be awesome & I am happy to be able to go home to my husband & son after all of this. I was able to rebook my flight to 3:00 instead of 8- I…

Today- no, correction, this entire month’s work inquiries have been INSANE. It almost feels like the universe is finally recognizing all the hard work I’ve been pouring into my craft and truthfully, I really fucking deserve this. I was once asked (and I think about this moment alot) if I ever feel “imposter syndrome” and to be really honest- no. I put in soo much work, I did my time, I learned,…

Dearest North, One day you will find this blog and you will discover how fond I am of you- which I intend to be for the rest of our lives- and today, the ever apple of my eye, you discovered your balls. You reached down and screamed, “MOM WHAT IS THIS?!” with a horror on your face. Oh I wish I could’ve bottled that moment, my dearest little darling boy. I hope you enjoyed today’s biology…

I am for the time being out of work. But this just means all contracts have been lived out, are in limbo or internal restructuring is currently taking place which is very common during Q1’s. This also means that I am faced with the ability to decide what insane life altering choices am I going to make simply for the plot (and the money, duh). Do I expand- which would be so amazing just like…

My singing voice before I decided to give up nicotine… what a time

Sometimes people will say things like, “imagine the things you would’ve been considered for (career wise) if you didn’t choose to be a mom” and to that I say, “what is a few days and a silly campaign over a lifetime of this.”

These clips have healing powers

I read somewhere (by somewhere I mean a Reel 😒) that we are currently living in a moment we might not ever get back. Our parents are all alive, the kids are still home (and like us) and we are most likely trying to live the lives we had always dreamed of. What a privilege it is to be able to be in this era of my life. Insert: Paolo who’s home sick 😔| Franco who’s in Boracay| Casey, Papa &…

They say old habits die hard and this is one that has been on my mind for a very long time now. I might not be able to answer everything with as much gusto as before but I will try. I keep saying one day I’ll change the questions to this answer but heck, we all know I’m sentimental and something about reading what I wrote when I was 16 now that I’m 35 is the epitome of that. So let’s…

Hell dear friend, it’s been a while. In my defense, in between the pandemic, giving birth and poor exporting skills- I have lost the poor 5-10 blog entries I have written in the last 4 years. It might not sound like much but those were important years because that’s when I had given birth to North and those were messy times- times that I wish I wrote more about. But that’s ok, life goes on and…

i aint’t shit

i’ve been feeling like absolute shit lately. i don’t even know what i’ve been running on anymore.

i’m unhappy. i’m uninspired. but i keep acting like i’ve got it all together. for who? i don’t need to fucking impress anyone at this point. i don’t have kids i need to pretend to be strong for. my husband doesn’t need me to be strong.

if i wanted to cry on the fucking bathroom floor, i could.

so…

I am trying to set a “good example”, “provide relief”, “give an educated distraction” and “reach out from my home”. All of this because I don’t have much to…
