weekend blog caravan 9
First time to join here and actually loving the theme of this particular caravan. I’ve been blogging on and off for almost 3 years now and I haven’t really introduced myself properly.
Hi, my name is Cherry. Very briefly, there are my children, son and MG, born in 1990 and 2004, and their fathers, Rommel and Tom, whom I share them with. Yes, there are two fathers and I’m not with any one of them. I was married to the first and finally went on our separate ways 10 years ago and had a very complicated relationship with the second. Yes, I’m a single mom and loving it. It could get pretty lonely at times not being with someone but the perks actually outweigh the loneliness. I can do whatever without consulting anyone but myself. I don’t have to iron someone else’s office clothes each and every weekday morning. I don’t have to wait up late in the night just because someone is having a good time or a late-night meeting, if that even exists. I don’t have someone who argues with me all the time. Etcetera, etcetera.
If you’re a wife with a fantastic husband, that’s good. You’ve found your someone. Cherish him. Treasure him. As for me, I’m fine with my children. I love them to bits. And they’re enough. If a love life comes along, I would consider it but he won’t be a priority.
About this blog. This is a collection of my personal life. It’s about my life, my children, my parents, my sisters and brother, my ex-husband, my past and future boyfriends, my friends. I get away with writing about these people and dragging their stories and names into this online journal because they don’t know that this blog or even my other blog exist. Well, some do but they don’t know the addresses.
It’s about buying a new clutch that is tricky to open, dyeing my hair, raising the kids, watching the news, getting pissed and mad, being a single mom, falling in love, shopping with my girlfriends, being Filipino, watching movies, eating out, missing people in my life, travel and wishing it would be sunny all the time.
this is MG, my little girl and lunch partner

Me. This was taken 3 years ago.
This is me now.
This was taken just last Christmas.
I might have gained a few more pounds and wrinkles since then.
My dad whom I love so much.
I’m his favorite and he gives me everything I need.
Yes, I’ll always be Daddy’s little girl forever.
Son with MG.
He wants to pursue a medical career.
So this is me and my family. By the way, I want to thank the members of the Pinay Mommies Community or PMC, most especially Mommy Ruby, who offer sage advice on every little thing about blogging and so much more. You’ve been all very helpful.














Wow! I admire all the courage you have for being a single mom. As for me, I am not that lucky in the realm of love though I am still married to my husband. :p
You have adorable children and it seems they love you to bits too!! And hey, though you gained weight and some wrinkles, you still look fabulous and pretty!!
Thanks for playing this week. I hope to see your entries again.
My entry is not yet posted. Will post soon. Hope you could visit.

Nice to know you sis… Nice story and nice pictures.
anyway here is my entry: My Weekend Caravan is Here
I am one of your followers na din. Hope you can do the same! See you!
Ang ganda mo naman sister!!! Honestly, with your exes, it’s their BIG LOSS, not yours. And your kids, oh wow! halatang mana sa iyo, your son is so handsome while the younger sis is so pretty ,of course, kanino pa ba nagmana?
I do salute you for your courage to face the world as a single mom specially with our prejudice society.And I agree, for those of us who found a great husband, we should be thankful because they are truly a blessing from God, and for those not-so-great husband,maybe they are not from above.lol!
Happy Weekend!!1
Thanks for visiting my WBFC’s 9th entry at The Bloggers Journal.
I forgot to say,I’m your 28th follower. Thanks!
Good to know you mommy…
Hi! I’m a new follower of yours from WBFC. Nice meeting you! For some reason, you look really familiar. Anyway, I’m separated too so I know the feeling of having to share your kids. However, I am also with someone else now so I guess that’s how our life differs. I salute you for being a single mom. That’s a tough job, I know. Best wishes!
Would appreciate a follow back at Roller Coaster Ride
Wow, nice story. I see you are a strong and beautiful woman. I am a single mom myself, so i totally empathize with you.
Am joining WBFC too. I will definitely be one of your avid followers.

Hi Cherry,
I can relate to some of your experiences being a solo mom myself. How do you manage to be so beautiful? I think I’ve put that in the back burner since I had to be both mom and dad to my 4-year-old.
I am still hopeful for that one fantastic guy to come our way and stay.
I am still hopeful, as I am sure you are

i LOVE how to say it like it is. and you don’t look like someone who already has a teenager for a son! you could be easily mistaken for his girlfriend! and i’m not even trying to just win that gorgeous calvin klein bag. LOL.
being a single mom is fine. great, actually. i wish i was a single mom some days. hehe.
love how you write! i’m your newest fan and follower
aw shoot. i placed my other URL instead (the one where i didn’t post my WBFC in. LOL). anyways, WAHMaholic = K = Beauty Queen Gene = me
You’re so pretty sis and you look so young, parang kapatid mo lang siguro ang binata mo. ALthough i have a very loving and awesome husband, sometimes (as in sometimes lang lol) I miss being single, you know when you only think about yourself lol… Anyway, overall, masarap din ang may pamilya especially if you have adorable and cutie kids.
Nice to meet you
hi! i’m a new follower from wbfc. noob here, still trying to get the hang of it.
