Womanhood and Everything in Between

Life has never been this better. Thank you Almighty God for all the blessings! =)

I'll be celebrating my 30th birthday in five more months. The 29 years spent here on earth were like a roller-coaster ride. I had my fair share of happiness and pain. But I haven't stopped believing in life. And for this year, I wish to fulfill this list before I turn 30! Here goes my bucket list. In no particular order: 1. Enroll in a yoga class 2.

Let's start with this: I am a 29-yr old Engineer. I married a guy the same age as me with the same title pero iba yung field. I had my first baby at 25. Our first car at 27. Our first house at 29. Ngayon ko lang na-realize that I should be really proud of our achievements as a couple. Di ba? :) I was able to see the Petronas Towers in KL at 27, went up the Marina Bay Sands at 28. Stayed (almost lived) in Palawan for 3 months. I super enjoyed the perks of my profession. Hehe. I stopped working during my pregnancy for my two kids. Because (1) I was not comfortable waking up early and sitting for hours; and (2) as per my OB's advise (I had maselan pagbubuntis kasi). My second pregnancy wasn't easy like my first.
