The Solo Parent’s ReadMe File

Essential Documentation for the “Triple Life” OS If you’ve ever downloaded a new piece of software or joined a project on GitHub, the first thing you look for is the README.md. It tells you what the project does, how to install it, and—most importantly—what to do when it inevitably breaks. As a solo parent juggling an IT career, freelance gigs, and a teenager in the province, I realized I’ve never actually published my own documentation. New people enter my life

Science High School Entrance Reviewers

Getting X ready for high school! Our goal is to get him into Ramon Teves Pastor Memorial Dumaguete Science High School. (Seriously, wala nay mas taas pa ani? LOL!) J and I are both Science High alumni, so of course, I want X to go there too. Damay-damay na ang tanan, he has to take the entrance exam! If he doesn’t get in, I’ll need to explore other options.

Getting a Solo Parent ID

Mabibilang lang siguro the number of people who really want to become solo parents right from the start. Majority of the millions of solo parents (there’s about 14 million solo parents in the country, according National Institutes of Health data) probably became solo parents because of  the various circumstances in their lives, and not by choice. Being a solo parent is a huge task – my favorite line most days is “fuck my life”. There’s just no end to it. When

Financial support from Xavy’s dad

So I just wanna clear things out about getting financial support from Xavy’s dad. Coz some of his friends and family seem to think he’s being “responsible” and all and I am the one keeping his son away from him. Although yes, I don’t want Xavy growing up with the kind of environment his family has so as much as possible, I don’t want any influences from them on my son. I’m going to start off with the month he

Struggles of a Single Mom

It’s been crazy these past days, I had to juggle 3 jobs at the same time – one full time job and 2 online jobs. Hans’ father only gives 5k a month, not even half of Hans expenses. And I got so pissed this month because he’s weeks delayed with his financial support.This week has been draining. I only had 200 bucks and Hans’ milk and diapers was only good for the night. I had to find a way to
