Why WAHMS/SAHMS Get Stressed Out Too

"E di ang dami mong free time?"
"Wow, nakakainggit ka naman, buhay donya ka siguro."
"Relax relax ang lifestyle mo 'no?"
"Hindi ka ba naiinip?"
"Mahirap kaya ang buhay ngayon, bakit ayaw mo magtrabaho?"

These are just some of the 'innocent' comments people had made when I tell them I'm a stay-at-home mom - my follow-up of 'but I do work online too...' doesn't seem to count as a 'job' for them.

Good Friday and Sacrifices

Holy Week in the Philippines I believe, is becoming less and less 'holy'. Well, if you'd consider being preoccupied with thoughts of the beach, road trips, and chillin' a spiritual experience - then maybe I'm mistaken.

I personally am not religious at all. So is my family. I grew up not having gone on a visita iglesia, we didn't do novenas either. But I do remember staying home during Holy Week, being 'deprived' of fastfood, TV, gadgets, and spending some time praying.
