Momma Wannabe’s journey

Our Diva Fabulosa is also a Momma Wannabe. She’s not yet pregnant but she’s keeping a blog to journal her journey to motherhood. I may not be a constant commenter on her blog but I take time to read her posts. After being married for more than 6 years, the author and her husband decided that they are now ready to have children. After trying for several months with no results, she decided to consult a doctor to do some tests. The result came and it showed that she’s fertile. I was there to read about her post on her IVF journey in Singapore. In vitro fertilisation (IVF) is a process by which egg cells are fertilised by sperm outside the womb, in vitro. IVF is a major treatment in infertility when other methods of assisted reproductive technology have failed. The process involves hormonally controlling the ovulatory process, removing ova (eggs) from the woman’s ovaries and letting sperm fertilise them in a fluid medium. The fertilised egg (zygote) is then transferred to the patient’s uterus with the intent to establish a successful pregnancy. The first “test tube baby”, Louise Brown, was born in 1978.

I was overjoyed when it came out successful! But I’m saddened when I visited her one day and read that she had that “missed miscarriage“. It means that a clearly visible embryo with no heartbeat means that the embryo started to develop but something went wrong and the pregnancy failed; the embryo was not expelled in the usual way with pain and bleeding. My heart goes out with her. As a mother myself, I felt what she feel.

I appreciate the author’s courage to face such depressing situation and it didn’t haunt her down to give up (I hope you won’t Jade…we’re all here praying for you). In fact, she had her second attempt. Though my heart bled to know that it’s negative, I am hopeful that it will be successful in the next try. She doesn’t know yet exactly what’s next if they’re going to do another try with a different doctor in Singapore or do it in Manila where they will be moving soon or start looking into adoption.

Visit Momma Wannabe and it’s where you read a true story of a young woman who prepared herself for motherhood, the struggles and challenges she faced while getting pregnant and the story hasn’t ended yet. Be there to encourage and pray for her. It would be so appreciated.

We wish you all the best, Marce Jade and you’ll always be in our prayers.

   Peeking the Diva Fabulosa’s World

After discussion with my sis-in-law, I decided to dedicate this blog to FASHION. It’s my way of unleashing the “fashionista” in me. This blog will talk about various prevailing custom or style of dress, etiquette, socializing tips, fashion tips and all types of fashions in people that make up the world as well as my own exploration experiences in the world of fashion.

I remember our dream with my mother to put up a CLOTHING LINE or FASHION BOUTIQUE in our town. If this will be push through, at least, we already gained experience, insights and tips through this blog.

I’ll also add in this site some tips on how to be fashionable “inside” and “out” and some insights of what it is to be “women of God”. I’m also featuring in here women who are fashionable in their own unique ways and one of them is JADE. She’s a Filipino-Dutch and an expat wife living in Singapore and she happens to be one of the Marce Club where I proudly belong. I haven’t yet really know her but visiting on her site and reading her posts, I could say that she has a passion in fashion and loves writing about it. It is important to be passionate about your subject when you maintained such a blog like hers. She’s constantly on the go.

Diva Fabulosa covers the latest trend in fashion and beauty, review some designer products, and the author’s personal experience in the field of fashion as she’s living such a glam life in the city of Singapore, traveling and just being exposed to trendy fashions. I appreciate the author’s ability to give an infinite amount of attention to details of her articles, a good understanding of grammar, punctuation and spelling and a commitment to clarity of thought and expression.

It would be great if the author will write a page about herself so that new readers could caught a glimpse of who she is. Maybe she will in the near future. The Internet is also glutted with so-called fashion blogs, but this blog has its own individuality and the author’s passion is strong enough to get it going.

So let me share a fashion tip with you–check out Diva Fabulosa and keep up with the latest trends!
