Hello, Internet world!
I have been thinking of starting my own blog since I became a mom (2016 lang naman), figured, why don’t I share my journey with others then, them back. But, as we all know being a mom takes a lot of your time. 2017 went by really quick. I had to juggle being a breastfeeding mom (who’s super super lazy to pump, so I had to take T all the time with me) and putting up our 2nd baby, The Reading House! (Shameless Plugging: Check out our website,too ;p)
Anywho…what’s important is the now! This 2018, I plan to wear as many hats as I can!
As a teacher, I used “Must Do’s and May Do’s” to teach my kids the power of prioritizing. As a woman (who lives in such a judgmental society), set to have many roles, I find this helpful in life, too.
Check out my list!

* Working on it
* Haven't done yet
This is an incomplete list because I am a work in progress. It is also NOT also in chronological order because my brain’s all over most of the time. (Ask my husband, he knows).
I am D. I am a teacher, a Mom, a wife, a daughter, a sister, a friend, a leader, an entrepreneur, a grammar nazzi,an advocate of equal opportunities for child learning or equality, in general, a bibliophile, an aspirant runner, a recent convert skincare junkie, a sweet tooth, a junk food junkie, a tattoo lover and now a blogger! I have a potty mouth and speak a little Bekinese. I believe in hard work. I know that nothing great comes easy.
Join me as I check off/ add on/ remove (hopefully not) items on my list with the hopes of making my daughter, husband and of course myself happy and proud!
See you around!
