BEING A FIRST TIME MOM

Hello dear readers and also to mommies out there. 

How happy I am to share with you the milestone I have right now with my expected baby. Up until now, I can't imagine that I am going to be a mom soon. All the thoughts and worries I have in my mind right now are adding up, but I know stress would be a problem especially to the baby inside so I guess being worried should not be on my lists.

It's been a while since I had my last blog post and vlogs, but I'm here right now sharing and bringing with you the good news that is with me. Lots of things that had happened for the past few months especially I am included now as a first-time mom, with my mother who is too far from where I am right now, who could just help me through calls.

I just want to share with you that being at this stage where questions and doubts lingering in my mind is not that easy. But as I enter some groups on Facebook with my co-mommies out there who share the same experience with their little one is a great help and relief. I am now reaching my 6 months of pregnancy and 3 months is still out there to be awaited and enjoyed until my little one would be with us.

I have gone little by little on doing some shopping with the most needed things for my baby and some clothes were just given by my good-hearted co-workers. It was a blessing receiving things from them especially right now that I and my husband are on a tight budget, and trying to save money before my due date would come.

I would say this journey is amazing and beautiful. Every moment wherein my baby would move and kick inside my tummy is such a nice thing to cherish. Sooner I would share with you what gender my baby has. If you have some pre-loved items that you would like to share with me, my arms are wide open for your kindness. It would be a great blessing. 

Dating a Filipino Woman: LDR - Would you consider helping her family financially?

MONEY..MONEY..MONEY..

In every country, there are traditions or customs that every citizen or person does. Some don't follow it already since this a new generation and some still do it up until now. In the Philippines, there are lots of customs, and one of those is the child/ children will support or turn the favor to their family when they have their jobs already. And these custom that comes from the forefathers, and was carried through this new generation of the family. Some families don't do this thing, and most of these families are well-off and have their own stable lives, wherein there's no need already to ask for help from their siblings or their children. 

If you date a Filipino woman with a total package, like who does have a job and is independent enough, I think the money wouldn't be an issue for both of you, especially from the family or relatives. She would consider that you both have jobs and can sustain the needs of each of your families financially. But if you dating someone who doesn't have a job and who's dependent on her family, I think there would be some issues that both of you will be going to talk about, much especially with financial matters. I'm not generalizing that all Filipino woman who comes from the lower level class will have an issue with money, but I'll tell you, there will be some women whose experiencing this kind of issues. 

It would depend on both of you whether the woman would want your help or would receive help from you. Communication will always be a key when there are big issues to tackle. If you are a man who doesn't want to support or help neither her nor her family financially, then I advise you that at the very beginning of your conversation, tell her that you will never support or give money while the two of you are dating, that the only thing you could offer is your utmost love and care. Because the moment you will send money through her family or relatives, I'll tell you, the word "enough" is not on their vocabulary already. Tons of reasons that they will tell you just to ripped off money from you., and you will end up being miserable. But if you are a man who doesn't mind offering something through your woman, then the choice is yours already, just don't blame the woman after your month/s or year relationship if what she's after at you is your money alone and not love. 

Consider your long-distance relationship as a normal dating like what you can have or what you have experienced in your own country. Don't be blind by the sweet words, physical appearance, pity-self gesture, and promises as well. Be wise enough and be careful. 

Is there generally a stigma about Filipino women dating foreigners?

I think a lot of people nowadays are engaging themselves in online dating things. Some may find their luck, and some just don't. It's whether you will find someone that will click into your personality or for just other reasons. Today, I will be going to discuss my own opinion about the stigma on Filipino women dating foreigners. The question goes this way:

THEY ARE DATING??

Is there generally a stigma about Filipino women dating foreigners?

Well for me, Yes. There is a stigma that if a Pinay (Filipino woman) dates a foreigner the people will think or conclude that there is money involved or a big amount of it at least. Usually, the people or society would assume that a local woman dating a foreigner would only be after the money and riches alone. But there are exceptions to that stigma, if the woman is also working hard enough, who's independent, and who comes from a well-off family that would be a different story already.

Even if there is a stigma or people who will judge you based on your relationship, who cares? My thinking is always not minding other people's lives. You can't please everyone. There will be people who will judge you whether you do good or not. These are the people who go to church every day or weekend and still will say or think bad things against you. And to tell you honestly, we shouldn't care about these kinds of people. These words don't encourage you, neither won't bring abundance to your life.

So if you are in a relationship with a foreign man, either with the age difference, skin color, or status in life, Be you, mind your own life, be happy, and continue with what you've started.
