Fit To Be A Ninang?


My sister say I look like a teacher in this photo, haha!

This morning I had a short online chat with Sis Jane from the Philippines and got to know that Ps Winston's wife, Mary Jane, has delivered a healthy baby girl yesterday (2 Sep 09) morning. I was anxiously waiting for the good news for the whole of yesterday, but those I chatted with didn't seem to know. So was really glad for the confirmation today.

Then shortly after, an sms from Maureen really made my day. She conveyed that the baby is named Esther Faith! I was absolutely thrilled, cos last week, over an online chat with Ps Winston, I suggested that name! And I told him in our most recent chat that it was also the first name that Maureen blurted out when I only mentioned to her that I suggested "Faith" (his first girl, Eunice, has a middle name, 'Hope', and faith was much needed for this one). A confirmation further confirmed by the parents themselves. Haha!

Sooooo happy! Haha! I think I'm going to be in a super good mood today, hee hee...

So happy that I told Maureen I want to be the godma, hur hur... But hor, what does it really mean to be a Ninang in the Filippino context? I read that there are people who are invited to be a ninang/ninong (for men), but got people self-invite and asked to be one? Will I qualify even if I'm not rich? :P

Hmmm, food for thought...

Dol-awass-eo • Back I think that’s what it means la. Act cool only. 😂  This picture's got nothing to do with this post, but I happy just want to put it here la...#tb27032023 Context: Today my bff reminded me that a while back she asked me to revive my blog and start writing again. So here I am, sitting in McD thumbing my comeback essay (eee…this word still brings the shivers) which could even be my last since I seriously don’t know where I’m heading with this. But one thing I can say though, the tagline of my blog still stands. Bandaged to be able to leave my heart. Not trying to be emo but it’s the truth. One type of bandage recommended by my bff is called “Manage Myself”. This includes not expecting to change others but managing my own expectation of how others can/should change. I haven’t read my previous posts since I last wrote (Dec 2016) but I vaguely remember one such emo post where I mentioned about less expectation = less pain. I can’t recall what caused me to write somet...

Friendship Inc.

Quite a lot has been running through my head for the past few days, in particularly, the issue of friendship - what it meant to me in the past and what it means to me now. People around me have asked me, "Cynthia, do you have a best friend?" or simply, "Who are you close(r) to?" I don't know what the kind of answers they are expecting out of me and why they would want to know, but everytime such a question is asked, I can't immediately give an answer. It probably sounds kind of strange. I mean, if it's my close or best friend, wouldn't the answer be really straightforward and requires little thought to it? But yet I find that I'm unable to respond. All around me, I find that people are often seeking to be someone's special someone. It doesn't necessarily mean boyfriend-girlfriend kind of relationship. I mean isn't it nice to know that you have a special place in someone's heart, especially if that someone is one whom you find that...
