The Whole 9 Yards

Life through my eyes.


  • 39 + 6

    Good morning. I’ve been journalling a lot recently but I thought that I could share my introspection session with the online world on this monday morning. I am still pregnant. Tomorrow is Amelia’s due date, and I’m still hoping that my water breaks anytime today so that we won’t have to induce labor. Two weeks Continue reading

  • Dear Amelia

    Hi my sweet love. Today we are 38 + 2. It’s our second night sleeping in the living room, spending the most time we can with your big brothers Popoy and Peanut! Lately, mommy has just been resting, spending time with daddy, and thinking about you of course. I’ve been off my phone for a Continue reading

  • I see no point in living if I can’t be beautiful

    One hot day in September last year, I decided to go for a swim. I put my bikini on, took some selfies, and posted a photo on my story. I was feeling quite a bit self conscious around that time, so I needed an ego boost from reactions on instagram. Then I get a message Continue reading

  • Dear Amelia

    Hi my love. It’s been a while since I wrote to you, but I know that you know you’re all I think about. Only five weeks away from our due date. People have been telling me that my belly’s dropped, so I’m getting everything ready for your arrival. I’ve already packed our things for the Continue reading

  • Trigger warning

    I’ve had this lingering thought in my head for a while now. This is about a story I was told ten years ago. It’s only now that I’ve pieced it all together. I was probably so busy in my own little world that I didn’t give myself the time to truly think about why this Continue reading

  • My dad

    It was dinner time and my dad asked me if I liked what we were having. I remember that I had just finished a workout and the table was already set and the food was almost ready. I answered him, “wala bang gulay diyan?”, (I know, what a bitch right) and he asked me what Continue reading

  • Instagram permanently deleted my account

    Apparently, they suspended my account for not following Community Guidelines. When I appealed for a review, they decided to disable my account permanently. WHAT THE F?!?!?! I only post about my pregnancy now, and I’ve been keeping it fairly PG on there!!!!! I hate how much this is affecting me. I am devastated that I Continue reading

  • Dear Amelia

    I just sent out your baby shower invitation today. Just writing your name on a card filled my heart with so much joy. Let me tell you about this past week my love. Your dad’s family came to visit from Seattle. Your grandparents, aunt, and great grandpa spent time with us last weekend. We ate Continue reading

  • Dear Amelia

    Today is February 9, 2023 and you are already 26 weeks old in my womb. Last night, mommy was crying in the shower and you were kicking so hard and I knew you were telling me that you are here for me… cause you literally are “here”, growing inside me. Of course, all that kicking Continue reading

  • Popoy

    My precious pug, my dream dog, and my little angel on earth. Today, I found out that he has severe arthritis due to genetic hip dysplasia. I don’t think he knows though, because he’s really active and trying to run around and play with his brother Peanut. Popoy is very special to me because I Continue reading
