Earlier this year, I was able to make a dream of mine come true. With a little pixie dust from one of my favorite people in the world, Tina, I got this amazing writing gig at theAsianparent Philippines. The PH team is a young one, but theAsianparent has been around for a while and is actually the #1 parenting website in Asia.
*Insert kilig moment here*
Though I have been writing for a few years now, I’ve mostly been doing ghostwriting for other people. The only places that I would ever see an article credited to my name was here and on World Moms Blog. Then all of a sudden amazing things started to happen, and before long I had a dozen articles up on theAsianparent, complete with author byline. It brings such a happy feeling, I tell you. Super fulfilling, and super worth all the late nights and underpaying writing jobs I had to go through to get here.
Indulge me and my excitement over this writing job, if you may. Here’s a roundup of what I’ve written for theAsianparent so far. It would be great if you could click on a link that interests you, read, like, tweet, share, comment or +1. The love would be greatly appreciated!

Yep, I think that I can now truly say that I am a writer. 🙂
Here’s to more writing assignments for us! Good luck! :p
Congratulations Patty! You deserve it!
Congratulations, Patricia! 🙂 This is something I’d like to achieve, but I feel like I’ve lost my writing mojo over the years. I used to be so passionate about writing back when I was just a new blogger, now, I don’t know.
I love your articles at The Asian Parent! I always read them kaya when you share. 🙂
Awww thank you dear! I’m so happy to know that!

Congratulations on this gig, Patricia. I’m so inggit! 🙂 But I’m happy for you and Janice to have landed a writing gig where you can be who you are – moms! 🙂
Hindi na talaga kita ma-reach, Patty!!! Ibang iba ka na talaga! Hahaha! SUper congrats to you for being Asian Parent’s writer. I’m so happy for you! <3
Wow, congratulations! You deserve it. I am happy for you and for the entire AsianParent Philippines.
Congrats to you. I will read your Anti-Bullying post. This is one thing na paranoid ako. 🙂
Thank you so, so much! Bullying worries me too, and my son often tells me horror stories about kids who are teased in school. Just so glad that mine seems to be doing okay and not making any enemies.
Congratulations! I’m pretty sure your husband will be proud of you
He is! Thanks so much!

Congrats! You really deserve it. Sometimes it takes a while for people to write their thoughts, it takes not just skills but also inspiration to be able to convey whatever it is that you may want to share to your readers. You have that gift, Patricia. And as one of your readers, I’d like to thank you for sharing that gift. Way to go Mommy P! 🙂
