Welcome to Relaxed Wahmmy!


I'm really excited to launch this blog. I had to wait months to make sure I was ready.

My name is Clarisse; proud mommy to Isha, an amazing partner to Bunch (CLAIM IT!) and a freelancer. I am your resident Relaxed Wahmmy on this page. This is my calm (sometimes chaotic) blog about parenting, homemaking, freelancing and life in general. 

A couple of things that you have to know about me;

  • I love to eat more than I love to cook, which explains my never-ending weight loss journey. 
  • I used to be a call center hopper. Now, I work from home and have been dancing to this crazy tune for a little over four years. 
  • I triumphed over unemployment despite my lack of college degree! My story is not a fairy tale, but it is one worth sharing!
  • There are times when all I really want to do is find a 'real job', but most of the time; I just sit on my desk and do BUSINESS! 
  • I am proud of my daughter, and think she's the loveliest kid in the whole wide world.
  • I would someday visit Japan and US with Isha and Bunch (CLAIM IT!)

Relaxed Wahmmy will hold my deepest (and not-so-deep!) thoughts about my various roles in life. It is my attempt to regularly reflect on my situations and decisions. It is my way of connecting with a world bigger than myself. Hopefully, it will help me become a better person and bring me a step closer to become the Relaxed Wahmmy that I aspire to be.

I would be pleased to be with someone in this journey. Come join me! This blog is not just for me or for freelancers/moms/WAHMs like me. It is for everyone who can relate/identify with my stories. It is for everyone. Period. ^^

See you around!

Recipe: Sinigang Na Buto-Buto ng Baka

A few days ago, we went to SM Marilao Hypermarket to buy chicken and cook Tinolang Manok. Everything had been planned for lunch, but when we saw the lot of Buto-Buto ng Baka on sale; we decided to give it a try and cook Sinigang  na Baka.  Sinigang is a favorite in our family (in many Filipino families, actually). My Nanay cooks the best Sinigang na Baboy and Baka. For Sinigang na Baka; she buys from her suki in Meycauayan Market, where she only pays for the beef strips and gets its fat free of charge. Her Sinigang is tasty and sinfully delicious; we're like in Tokyo Tokyo whenever it is our ulam (Unli rice!) My Sinigang na Buto-Buto ng Baka is no match compared to her's, but it turned out very good, too. Buto-Buto is flavorful and is perfect match to my Sinigang's thick sour soup. I'm proud to have cooked it a couple times and to have succeeded each time (which is not always the case, believe me!). Below are the ingredients and recipe for Sinigang na Buto-Bu

OPPO F1s: Valentine’s Dream Date

Before I talk about my Valentine's Dream Date, I'd love to first give you a bit background about who I am and what I do. Who I am can easily be summed up in 4 letters: W-A-H-M. I am a Work-At-Home-Mom doing various freelance writing, admin, social media and design work for clients abroad. I have been in the business for many years. Haven't looked back to my also fun call center life since. I have no regrets about choosing to be home all the time. After all, I am an introvert. I don't really enjoy being in a crowd. They can be overwhelming to me. I also have a 7 year old daughter, and I'm just really thankful I am present in her life and I get to watch her grow up into a happy, beautiful girl each day. I understand this is a privilege not many moms get to enjoy. I love my WAHM  life! I'm going to say this over and over again— I live to be a good mother and homemaker. I believe this is God's purpose for my life. Freelancing helps me achieve this. Working

#CoffeeShopCamping: The Frap Bar, Hotel Lorita

It's not the first time that I tried to work in coffee shops. My 'coffice' search started (and failed) in 2012. There weren't many coffee shops in Bulacan back then, and freelancing was unheard of. It was difficult to find a coffee shop that welcomed remote workers. Fast forward to 2016. Entrepreneur Philippines now features freelancing/freelancers in its articles regularly. Independent contractors come up on Facebook from time to time to share their stories and excitement for the entire world to read. We're no longer unheard of. We're now a community that sparks interest from people looking for jobs or looking into the option of starting a service-based business from home. As for me, that's total of 5 years in freelancing, and just very recently-- in Tuguegarao City. A lot has changed, but the question of whether I will be able to find a coffee shop that will welcome me in their place still stands. Prior to moving to Tuguegarao City, I found
