As stated numerous times in my main blog, our first 2 months of TTC (trying to conceive) after my miscarriage were unsuccessful. It was only by using online resources such as Fertility Friend and the wonderful community at BabyCenter that I was able to become more in-tune with my body and become informed on practically […]

A Beauty of a Cam
The Pentax Optio I-10 was announced today. The specs are nothing special but HELLO GORGEOUS! Isn’t the body design to die for? The official site describes the I-10 as “classic styling, slim design.” I’m always on the lookout for good, compact point-and-shoot cameras that are not Canon so this is a nice surprise. If […]
Facebook No More
A few weeks ago, I deactivated my Facebook account. The funny thing is that although I had 350+ “Friends,” I’m pretty sure that not one person noticed my absence. Not even my husband. (Thanks, hun!) While the whole prospect made me a bit sad — because this essentially meant that something horrible could’ve happened to […]
“Be Afraid… Be Very Afraid.”
I love, LOVE scary movies. Even the cheesy, stereotypical fares dripping in red corn syrup. So when I finally got my hands on 2009’s phenom Paranormal Activity, I immediately curled up on the couch with a bag of microwave popcorn and pressed “play” in anticipation of high horror. My verdict: ‘Eh.’ There were some scary […]

The powerful earthquake flattened the president’s palace and the main prison, the cathedral, hospitals, schools and thousands of homes. Thousands are still trapped. […]
Things I Have Learned While Trying to Get Pregnant (Warning: Entire Post is TMI)
I have been poring over pregnancy, miscarriage, fertility, and TTC (trying to conceive) boards for the past few months. Here are a few things that made me go “huh” while clucking my tongue in (disgusted) surprise: 1. The woman’s body is (usually) a toxic environment for sperm. The vaginal vault has a very low pH […]
Traitor!
My sister came to visit today, and Comang has not left her side. He’s been ignoring me for the new two-legger the entire day…they’re taking a nap together on the couch as I type this! (I’ve blocked out my sister’s face because she values her privacy a lot more than I do. Plus, I’m quite […]
