I, woman

March is International Women's Month. 

Did you know that one in every three women is a victim of domestic violence? And it's not just all about physical abuse, it can be emotional and financial. 

It's so prevalent that it can be a woman close to us, just afraid to speak out. In the society where we live in today, it's still almost taboo to talk about such things. 

I'm fortunate to work for a company that advocates for the welfare of women. All year round, Avon supports its partner NGO, the Women's Crisis Center as the shelter for women who need a safe place to speak out about their situation. 

March, being the International Women's Month is the designated season to raise fund and awareness. This year, Avon has partnered with popular actor Richard Yap. 

If you care enough for the women in your life -- mother, sister, relative, friend, please help us continue support the cause by buying the Unisex Empowerment Bracelet. 

You can buy the bracelet here. Or you may get in touch with me.

Afternoon Tea Baby Shower

This is such a late post. But I want to commit it to memory. And be able to thank my good friends who went out of their way to give me a baby shower. 

And so this was my third baby shower just a few days shy of my delivery date. 

My colleagues and lunch buddies aren't big on surprises. So, they've made it known that they're arranging a baby shower for me. On the day of the event, they still managed to surprise. Good job, guys. And thank you. We will be forever grateful. In the near future, Kate will be able to read this -- she'll know how well she's loved by mommy's friends. 

Kat, the game master. 

Some of the gifts we received.

Thank you, guys!

I know this was super effort on your part. I am really, really grateful. One day, soon Kate will be very grateful to you, as well. Although, you have yet to fulfill your promises of teaching her to paint, play the piano, play the guitar, and what have you.
