It was 10 years ago when we talked about staying in Leyte and I jokingly said if there will be 7-11 convenience store. As a city girl through and through, I needed some assurance of the ‘needs’ that should be available even during the midnight.

During our last pedia visit, JJ's doctor told me that she was waiting for my posts about him just like what I did when Ria was still a baby.

It's been three months and I'm still adjusting on being a mom of two. It was very difficult at first, I thought it would be easy to care for two kids.
