Intimacy Issues: On Fears and Fallbacks
Have you ever been so traumatized from a relationship, that there’s always this lingering fear of abandonment. I’m writing my feelings away as of this moment. I’m enveloped with so much sadness for no reason. Maybe there is. Maybe it won’t go away. In my 15+ years of experience on dating and relationships (naks! do mistakes count?), there’s always a lesson to be learned on each one. But does every disappointment make us stronger, or weaker? Most people would probably answer the former. I’m going to open up a bit to anyone who’s reading this post right now. There are days when I feel I don’t deserve to be loved. Or when I…
10 Best Christmas Gift Ideas for your Loved One
Gifts should be given not just on special ocassions! The best gifts are received when you least expect it. Well, this wish list is meant for me. I mean, how the hell can I recommend or make gift suggestions if I don’t know the person di ba? That’s why for everyone else, I just give them boring gifts like post-its, face towels, or bath soaps. Heck, I don’t even know what gift to give my boyfriend yet! (I know what he loves but can’t decide yet what to give him specifically, wtf, my birthday present for him last time was 8 different things LOL) @_@ But here’s what, the best gift you can give…

MACHO KID’S OBSESSION WITH PEPPER LUNCH | and how we spent “Fathers Day”
“Mommy can we please eat at Pepper Lunch?” This is the usual line of macho kid whenever we’re in a mall and I ask him what he wants to eat. No guys this isn’t sponsored. But how I wish it was! Because I can’t count how many times we’ve had our meals there. It’s not the most affordable fast food *sigh* but my son finishes the whole jumbo plate and he’s a picky eater! We don’t celebrate Mothers day or Fathers day or any other day that much because everyday is special for us 🙂 But it just so happened that it was Sunday and after going to church we decided to go to SM and…
9 Feel Good Quotes to Help You Stop Comparing Yourself to Others
We’re now in the golden age of social media when we can see travels, shopping sprees, gifts, etc. Seemingly perfect bonds and envious lives of people with a quick scroll through our social feed. I’m as guilty as you are — no matter how much I want to always be happy when great things happen to others, it can be tough not to weigh our lives against theirs. They say that comparison is the thief of all joy. So what can we do? Besides the usual advice of being thankful for what we have. Let’s be real. What you don’t see won’t matter. We’re only human. I muted a whole bunch of people…
Should You Quit Your Day Job and Pursue Your Passion? | On Changes and New Beginnings
I can’t believe that after going through everything I had in my life, I am now coming up with a write-up that brings up so much feels. Hi there! I’m Kaycee Enerva also known as The Macho Mom of kikaysikat.com. The blog that you’re visiting right now. But before becoming a full-time blogger, did you know that I was an employee who worked 9 to 5? (3-12, 11-8, depending on the rotation shift). I never imagined making a career out of blogging. But looks like there’s no turning back. Should you quit your day job and pursue your passion? My life has been an emotional roller coaster and it won’t fit a single article…
Bipolar Musings: On Rapid Cycling and How Time is Never Enough
I promised myself that I’ll finish as much tasks in my head tonight. Just to clear away debris and unnecessary thoughts. Tomorrow I told macho kid we’ll watch Jurassic World again tomorrow in the cinema. Even if we already watched it last week, it’s the first time he genuinely liked a movie. This post was written: June 16 2018 I’m writing this now as a break. I have a couple of pending ideas on my desktop notes, and a hundred in my head. I’ve been experiencing a roller-coaster of extremes these past few days. My depression and mania have been switching at a more frequent pace than before. What is Rapid Cycling? Bipolar disorder is…
A New Podium Appreciation Post + Mama and Baba Eats at Paradise Dynasty a Review
Macho kid and I often go out on adventures and eat, A LOT. But we enjoy ourselves too much that most of the time I don’t take proper photos anymore. Luckily we’ve been eating at Paradise Dynasty in Podium a few times already so I managed to take a few. We’re in-love with the newly renovated Podium Mall in Ortigas. The outdoor display an array of greens on their walls. Instead of just cement. It’s indoor architecture is beautiful. The mall isn’t as crowded as others (perhaps because of its intimidating aesthetics that screams posh people only) and there are a lot of great places to dine in! The restaurants inside are all rated 3.5…
