My Rocking Cradle

Last day of my birthday month. What have I gotten since the last time I celebrated my birthday? Now, I have two handsome boys. Still have a handsome husband and intend to have him even when our hairs grow gray. But… Although my weight doesn’t reach 52kg (I didn’t reach 60kg even when I was [...]

I struggled to sleep for two nights but I can’t put down the book. And so in less than 48 hours, I finished reading Lalita Tademy’s Cane River.

Ms. Venus Raj just made the Philippines and Filipinos proud. This is her personal vindication after having been dethroned – and reinstated – as Bb. Pilipinas – Universe.
