Confessions Of A Woman Snacking At 12Mid

Eating is just one of my favorite things to do. A person who does not know me yet will never believe that I could finish 2 cups of rice at each meal. That I drink Coke everyday, unless my UTI attacks. That despite of these habits, I only weigh 50 kgs. And I am talking about post-pregnancy weight here. A lot of friends think I am lucky. They would always tell me that I am lucky that I could enjoy a slice of choco mousse cake whenever I want to, without enrolling myself and attending into an aerobic class everyday. Sometimes I want to believe them. But honestly I want to gain a little, just a little.

I still remember this myth that was going around our family. I was born thin. I don’t remember having those chubby cheeks. What I remember most was a thin little girl with a very long hair. Relatives would often tell my mom that she should take me to a salon and have my hair cut, coz they strongly believe that the nutritions that my body was supposed to take all goes to my hair. I did. In short, I had a new look with hopes – that one day, very soon, they’ll find me having those rosy chubby cheeks. Unfortunately, it didn’t happen.

But they didn’t lose hope. LOL! They said that when a girl gets her period, that’s the time that she would bloom. And that statement included their hopes – that one day, very soon, they’ll find me having those rosy chubby cheeks, firm arms and legs, and a blooming young lady. Unfortunately, it didn’t happen. My mom who was desperate at that time, decided to supply me with a tin of sterilized milk and 2 pieces of balot – EVERYDAY. Again, nothing happened.

Their last hope? After I give birth. Hahahaha! Go figure! I would suggest that you dig all the post-preggy photos that could be found here in my blog. :p

And to tell you the truth, friends who know me very well would tell you that the statement I said in the beginning of this entry was TRUE. In fact, I was snacking at 12mid. Here’s the proof:

I am a full-time home-based Marketing Manager by day, 24/7 Mom, and a Blogger/Content Creator in my spare time. Proud mom to 2 girls and 1 boy, Derelle, Erchelle, and Elric.

I am happy to share my adventures as I walk through motherhood and have to do most things on my own while my husband works miles away from us. Turning my passion into a profitable venture is another thing.

Authoring and managing this personal blog developed my social media awareness over the years.

From being an ex-OFW to doing what I am good at in the comfort of my own home – while taking good care of my 3 wonderful kids, I hope that people see me as a great inspiration when it comes to pursuing my passion and turning it into a profitable venture.

A giant leap like this is such a challenging journey but indeed is rewarding. A few bumps along this whole journey did not stop me from being the best version of myself.
