Just following the big guy's orders. August 14, 2013. A drug-free, love-filled birth story (Conclusion). So was I able to get some sleep at all? Second is when the pain gets really intense and it grows more and more so until it reaches the 60. Second. By that time I would be beside myself with pain. And that was how it was for the next five hours or so. At around 9am, Pammi knocked and greeted us a good morning and cheerfully offered us some breakfast. Breakfast? Now at one point, I just remember being b...

That tricky thing called leap of faith | reformedrockstar

Just following the big guy's orders. August 16, 2013. That tricky thing called leap of faith. So why did I take the time to write out my birth story? Am I trying to tell you that you should give natural birth a try? Well, yes and no. Most women that I’ve talked to cannot believe that I gave birth without an epidural. To be honest, after what I’ve gone through, I cannot believe why anyone would. Would I be successful doing it? I didn’t have the answers. No one could tell me what was going to happen. A lea...

Just following the big guy's orders. August 12, 2013. A drug-free, love-filled birth story (Part 2). Hindi ka manganganak sa doctor? You’re not giving birth with a doctor? This was my mom’s repeated and incredulous response to my announcement that I was going to go give birth at a birthing center. With midwives. I will be honest. I had moments of self-doubt. Many moments, actually. Could I really handle the pain? What if my umbilical cord wrapped around my baby’s neck? What if.What ifWhat if? After all, ...

What God Wants | reformedrockstar
https://reformedrockstar.wordpress.com/2013/07/10/what-god-wants
Just following the big guy's orders. July 10, 2013. I’ve met a lot of people who are under the idea that following God means becoming a slave to someone else’s idea of what your life should be. That you lose all your dreams and desires and become a robot summoned only by some deity’s whims. I am no expert and have a lot to learn myself yet I feel that nothing can be further from the truth. You dream of finding your true love? You see yourself working in a certain business sector? Pray to God about it....

Why Ask Why? | reformedrockstar

Just following the big guy's orders. July 25, 2013. Disclaimer: This is the continuation of ‘See Heaven’s Got a Plan for You’. Sorry, so confusing.). I don’t know what I’m doing here.’ My voice crackled into my old dependable Nokia. As it turns out, the ‘chatting’ consisted of a lot of shy looks and laughter from the boys and a lot of drawings and sign languages from me. The only one in the room who could speak Tagalog was Linda and I think she was grading some papers. I knew but one Butbut (the ...In th...

The Write Time | reformedrockstar
https://reformedrockstar.wordpress.com/2013/11/29/the-write-time
Just following the big guy's orders. November 29, 2013. It’s been four months since I last wrote an entry to this blog. It’s been four months since I last wrote anything, actually. Prior to giving birth, I had been writing this and that for Radio Republic. When Maaya, my little rosebud of a daughter was born, I turned in my c—I took a bow from writing altogether. I said my farewell to Rudolf, wrote a four-part pregnancy story on this blog and shook off writing from my life. So, hello once again, blog!

Just following the big guy's orders. I'll tell you what I'm not. I'm not a radio DJ, a TV host, an events host, a tattoo artist nor a bad ass rock chick bass player. I am quite simply, a child of God. This blog is His story. :). November 29, 2013. It’s been four months since I last wrote an entry to this blog. It’s been four months since I last wrote anything, actually. Prior to giving birth, I had been writing this and that for Radio Republic. Yup, it was all those months of suppressed writing, explodin...

Just following the big guy's orders. August 4, 2013. A drug-free, love-filled birth story (Part 1). Disclaimer: I have no intention of judging women who choose to give birth with an epidural or other forms of pain killers. Every woman is different, all births are blessings, and every mother is a hero, with or without medication. I just wanted to share my birth story. How do you put into words one of the most important days of your life? So, I’m going to try. I had the same sentiments .before. I could go ...

A drug-free, love filled birth story (Part 3) | reformedrockstar

Just following the big guy's orders. August 13, 2013. A drug-free, love filled birth story (Part 3). On June 23, Sunday, 2012, I woke up with an unexplainable urge to clean the house. I was due to give birth anytime now, so with my very pregnant belly, I marched right up to the most disorganized part of the house—the bodega (dum dum de dum). But just so you don’t pop in the middle of say, taking a shower (although I’m sure this has happened before) there are signs to help you know that the hour is fast a...
