"I love being a mother... But sometimes I just want to sleep like 3 days straight."

"It is a kind of love that is never understood until it happens to you. My heart is so full and becoming a mother is the most rewarding and beautiful thing in my life. Thank you, Lord, for giving us a chance to be parents!"

"As someone who has always prioritized her career, fitness, health, and self care, this experience taught me a whole new meaning of strength - both physical and emotional."

"longevity, by the word itself, parang prolonging life, improving health."

"Maybe it was the time when I was super thin that people thought I looked sick or anorexic. I really had that phase, where I was only, like, 88 pounds, and my waistline was only 20,"

"I thought I looked good. I thought I was healthy. But then, I deprived myself of a lot of things like food. I didn't really eat. And then, my workout was terrible. And then, I really neglected myself,""

"When I look at my old pictures, I say, 'Yes, why did I look like that before?' It's like I just let it go, as if I didn't listen to other people's advice that I was too thin, that I wasn't beautiful anymore."

"‘Oh, you look better now,’ ‘Now that you’re a mommy, you’ve become more suitable for me.’ I said, ‘Yes, of course,’ ‘No, it still seems more suitable for me,’”"

"“So, I focus on my baby the whole day, but how do I destress? Maybe, when my baby takes a nap, I find time for myself, I work out, I go swimming, or that's what I do to get a massage. Not every day, but that's what makes me happy.”"

"I take time to improve my pages, my social media platforms. That's what I do when the baby is asleep, or I have time for myself,"

"as a hands-on mom, i make sure to spend time with her baby whenever she gets a free day."

"You'll see me at home, I look messy, I don't tidy up. Really, I can't take a picture of myself and I can't share it on social media because it's not pretty, it's like that."
