h my beloved Mac, I'm going to miss you. So many memories we've shared. Alas, I must bid you adieu. My hands are tied and frankly, I'm in dire need of funds. So, as an act of sacrifice, we must sadly part ways though it breaks my heart. I've never been attached to a gadget like this before. I don't think I'd be able to subject myself to this kind of self-inflicted torture, ever again.

Of Battle Scars and Sunburns

know I mentioned going on a hiatus and continuing my journey on  Tumblr but after a major blog design overhaul, I've decided to continue on. It would be a pity to let it all go to waste right?

o, moving on... Let me start by saying how much I enjoy being a full time mom. Don't get me wrong, I do miss working and all but I would not trade even a single-tantrums-filled-crappy day with the little man. There is however an issue with the, ah, grotesque and nausea-inducing battle scars. Yes, I'm talking about the dreaded stretch marks. They're everywhere and I have this annoyingly nagging feeling that no matter how many times I apply purcellin oil, creams or ointments, this eyesore will be around for a long time. There are other options like microdermabrasions,  chemical peels and laser treatments, but I refuse to take that route. They're much too invasive if you ask me. For now, I'd just let time do her thing and wait I suppose.

n that note, I must also face that it will take time for me to get bikini body ready. I've gained close to 100 lbs, albeit not getting on the scale. I have the ❝ mommy figure ❞ now close to a size 4, I've got to get back to  size 0 [my pre-pregnant size]. So how do I do this, while nursing Kent full time? Most moms of course would recommend taking him out for a stroll and there's nothing wrong with that. However, in this kind of weather where heatstroke [for me] and sunburn [for him] are legitimate threats, it might not be the case. I have yet to find a good sunscreen lotion that not only offers ample protection from  UVA and UVB rays, but is also gentle on the skin and baby-friendly. Wouldn't want our lovely super baby to bake. We have high aspirations for him. So until I lose all the baby weight, for the mean time, I guess I just have to suck it up.

Feeling unglamorous,

26th May

ust to state on the record, I am now a mommy. Yes, that's right. A mommy at twenty three. I finally got the go signal from my mom. And yes, I am going PUBLIC. So let this be known, I am a proud mommy of one awesome super baby. And although we go against tradition, we are a happy family of three.

nd so, with that, I will be going on a blog hiatus, at least here. I will be continuing my journey on Tumblr.

Au revoir for now,
