Dream Came True!

Image
I absolutely love love diving.  No, I don't do the Jacques Cousteau, deep blue strong currents type of trips but the lagoon, wall, go with the current, reef dives cos as much as I love the excitement of those Cousteau-ish dives, I must remember that I'm a mom and have kids to take care of when I surface.  Where I happen to spend most of my time - instead of underwater, where I much prefer!  haha!   Whenever I'm underwater, I am in awe.  If not for my regulator, I would have had my mouth open throughout each dive.  The colours, the creatures (fishes, turtles, seahorses, octopus, squids, nudibranches, soft and hard corals.... the list goes on) are just simply beautiful; all God's creations!  Can you spot a Frog Fish? My fave kinda slug - Nudibranch A sight I never ever tire of Anyway, my dream came true in Bohol, Philippines.... I've always wanted to show my children the marvels of God's creations and this June, I final...

8 & nearly 4

Goodness gracious!  Can't believe it's nearly the end of 2013 and I'm still blinking at how fast my kids are sprouting right before my eyes!  Hardly any time to take stock sometimes, but it is necessary. Apologies for not providing updates regularly though....  I'm either too busy, too tired (old mom syndrome), too distracted and yes, too dang lazy.

What About Adoption?

Who am I? I'm now a full time mom, ex-'Love-My-Job-Like-Hell-Never-Thought-I'd-Quit' Marketeer :) The usual story, took too long after getting married to start a family cos (see above para) and realised that it wasn't that easy to conceive. Traditional Chinese Meds, hormone therapy, IUI, jabs, blood tests and laproscophies over 5 years was really a lot to take. (No, we didn't try IVF). Emotionally it was taxing, lots of mood swings, of course a lot of tears - monthly, when 'Aunty Jane' visits.... [If you are on a similar journey of infertility, you're not alone and don't go through it alone. Share with your husband, your mom, your girlfriends and/or be part of a support group and if you can't find one, start one. It really helps to talk about it and be privy to thought processes shared by others.] Adoption was a remote option of mine - yeah, the usual reasons of 1) I don't know the birthparents (smokers? on drugs? crazy genes?.... ...
