Living Between Quiet Days and Uncertain Ones

Image
Years ago, this space held my simplest joys, pregnancy updates, baby milestones, little moments I didn’t want to forget. Life felt slower then, easier to capture in words. Somewhere along the way, life kept moving. I didn’t get to write everything. There’s Marcus now, 11, our bunso, our little comedian. He fills our home with laughter at just the right moments. He has this natural eye for digital animation , and a voice that can turn into so many characters. Sometimes I watch him and think he is already building his own little world. And then there’s Georgia. She’s 13 now. Sweet, deeply empathetic, and stronger than she realizes. The kind of strength that doesn’t need to be loud, because it shows up quietly, every single day. She loves writing too. Sometimes she just observes her surroundings and turns them into inspiration. Other times, she writes from her own experiences, shaping them into stories only she can tell. She’s at that age now where she has little crushes, and I can’t help...

Pandemic, PCOS, and Me.

This is me and my flawed face. No filter, no edits, no camera beauty effects. I just turned 35 last September, and to be honest, I hated my flaws. Well, who wouldn't hate pimples, thinning hair (imagine parang may expansion ng airport sa sarili kong mukha, yung kilay ko nawawala), plus rashes, etc.  When this pandemic happened, I have always been in the house, our small business slowed down. I felt like a failure, it was so tough.  My sleeping pattern had changed, my eating habits went really bad (I was stress eating), and my physical activities had been affected. The stress triggered my existing hormonal imbalance (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome). I missed periods, I had allergies, eczema, and fungal infections, altogether. The medications made me feel under the weather. Imagine, I can't even do chores because my skin rashes get worse because of perspiration. I felt lazy, useless, demotivated, and sad.  Turning point. I can't do this to myself. I nee...

PCOS and Baby II

Image
When I wrote PCOS and Baby ( http://lovelledeleon.blogspot.com/2012/05/pcos-and-baby.html?m=1 ) a year ago, aside from showing the world how happy I am because of my pregnancy, what I really wanted was to inspire other women who are suffering from stress and pressures because of this condition. I never expected that this will reach a lot of people, but I guess I have achieved what I really wanted then. Since I published it, I can no longer count how many friends I’ve gained and women/ wives (and husbands) that I have inspired. Just this morning, I saw a lot of unread messages in my personal Facebook account, in a folder I just accidentally opened. I saw messages as late as last year, which were filtered because senders are not in any way connected to me or any of my friends. I guess that happened because of the strict filtering option on Facebook. I did my best to reply to each messages. I am really sorry for some who were already losing hope. There were also good news from women who s...
