Amelia Brown

Amelia Brown is the newest addition to our Clan. She was born last June 14, 2021 at the Baguio General Hospital Medical Center. My mom was there when she was born, she together with Tito Paul assisted my Tita Apple during her labor. She looks like her dad and can open her eyes wide already. I don’t like her because it’s my very first time to be around and see a newborn baby. I cry when they try to keep her near from me. I don not like her presence at all. I am only 3 years old and that’s how I react, maybe when she is already big like me I am able to like her since we are cousins.

I have a very devoted, loving, involved husband who equally shares the joys and challenges of raising our four kids. This year will mark our 20th anniversary, and we’ve been together for 26. The time I was referencing in this sentence was the month that I lived in Ohio while he lived in Mississippi. And my point...

(Un)still life

 It's Tuesday morning and I overslept ... well, really I underslept and then tried to get the adequate amount of sleep during the time I should have been in the shower and getting ready for work. But because I am shallow and girly, I didn't skip the all-important morning grooming extravaganza and rather than hurry through the only interesting part of my day ("Hmmm, what can I wear that will make me feel happy/like Nora Charles/Kitty Carlisle/comfortable/cute without pushing the limits of good taste/dress code/ass-sizereality?") I took my normal amount of time -- even I admit that a twenty-five minute shower is excessive, but there you have it -- and so of course I was late leaving the house.... ... which can only mean that I missed the bus (ya'll, I have literally Missed The Bus!) (hee) and I got to the train station late and there was no parking (!) and I missed my train, and I missed the following train, and at some point I thought I'd reach this Zen state w...
