Who are you?
I went to a clairvoyant early this year and was told that I’m an old soul. So old that I was already here even before there were humans on the planet! She said I was a water nymph, then a gypsy for a lot of my lives, a berdugo (yes, I used to chop-off people’s heads for a living) and now, I am this.
I’ve played several roles in my life with much passion because I believed that that was who I was supposed to be at that time: ate to my siblings, teacher to my students, editor to my readers, and now, a wife and mommy. At a time when being a slashee (model/artist/DJ/chef, etc) is uso, the most comfortable titles I like playing out are those of mommy/wife/stylist and speaker. I feel quite uncomfortable being labeled a fashionista only because I really never aspired to be that. Yes, I wanted to be a fashion editor, but having the fashionista title written along with my name makes me nervous. I’m sure that some people find me baduy and I don’t take fashion that seriously to merit having it beside my name.
Another title thrown at me that I never really thought about or aimed for was that of Mommy. You don’t feel like a Mommy while you’re pregnant; you just feel sleepy, tamad and, umm, sleepy. And then it hits you. Not during labor and not even when you hear her first cry (because you’ll most probably be too high on pain killers to feel any emotion). It’s a physical awakening. You feel the pain of childbirth, the sting of your stitches, and the vague emptiness in your stomach where she used to be. Then your body starts to make food for her. Your breasts ache, your nipples bleed, and for a week, she will be suckling both blood and milk from your breasts. It’s raw and very primal and completely out of your control.
Being a mommy is something I never dreamed about as a little girl, and it’s something I never gave much thought to. But when it came to me and forced me into another reality, I realized that I never aimed for it or paved the way for it because it’s something I’m naturally supposed to be.
who cares!!!

Donna, I think your kids are adorable, and I think earning the ire of the totally un-hot is just one of the prices to pay for being one truly hot momma! You keep blogging, baby!

Comment by zane — August 28, 2007 @ 3:50 pm

Honestly, Donna, I think your kids are adorable. And that’s judging by their looks alone. I hope I get to meet them soon.

Your kids are adorable Donna. And if they inherit pa your down-to-earth attitude, humor, and intelligence, panalong panalo na talaga sila.

maybr yes..maybe not

Its absurd that people will post just to diss people, especially you. I admire hot mama’s so just continue being one. ^_^ Ignore the a**holes out there.
I don’t have kids yet, though I wonder what kidnd of dad I’d be.
I know though that it takes patience. I like to call patience of a thousand years - to become a good parent.
I know you’ll be a great mom. Take care of those kids. God bless!

wow! thanks faye and in_sneakers! : ) Invited kayo sa birthday party ng mga anak ko!
Don’t worry about what kind of dad you’ll be Hiro, the mere fact that you wonder about it shows that you’ll make an effort to be a good one : ) Thanks for supporting mommys!

It’s nice to see a clairvoyant every once in a while. Very, very fascinating.
Not to be taken seriously though …but really, it’s fun.
Little girl’s pretty na, she with her big smile.

this is a blog and by creating a blog, you invite people to make comments–good, bad and everything in between. if you don’t agree with the comments, okay lang. if you agree with the comments, okay din lang.
Comment by leela — September 11, 2007 @ 3:12 pm
Yes cat princess, it’s when you feel the security of anonymity that you show who you really are. Blogs are really open to the public, but they are meant to be an interaction from one human being to another, even if it’s through cyberspace. So hopefully, how you would treat someone face to face, would be the same way you would treat someone on the internet.
