Twelve- year old Lauren and a couple of her keypal friends started an advice column for their club members (Keypals Club) in 1997. I was looking at the now defunct site because Lauren told me to plug her new blog. I am sure that gives a clue to her new site. Before I plug it , let me show you that advice page which was started in 1997. Aww, her advice to this I have never had a boyfriend made me smile.
The age when you should start worrying about not having a boyfriend is when you’re 20. Now there’s a problem. Don’t mind those peeps that are shocked because you don’t have a boyfriend! Besides, if you have a boyfriend this young, chances are, you will have a million more boyfriends and getting married would be difficult because boys don’t like “playgirls” or a girl who has a billion boyfriends. Enjoy your youth.
That’s Lauren as a 12 year old. Almost ten years later, she worries that she will never find The One. Despite her fears, and a broken heart, she is using this humbling experience to help others in her new blog which she co-writes with her best friend, Kristel.
Presenting nogirlydrama.com,a lifestyle , sort of advice column.
We discuss dating, relationships, friendships, work, and everything female-related in its raw, non-sugarcoated form.
Our goal is to provide some sort of girls comprehensive guide to making it in the Real World. Because unlike Reality Bites, you don’t get your happy ending when your hot yet emotionally immature guitarist friend suddenly announces that he’s been madly in love with you all this time.
Just because her new blog is female-centered, doesn’t mean that members of the male demographics are completely excluded.
And while we run around like headless chickens when it comes to our romantic dilemmas, we’re actually pretty damn clever at helping fix other peoples’ messes, Lauren announces in the Launch of her Lifestyle blog. Moms can even seek the perspective of the young generation when it comes to issues about their own daughters or sons .
So if you need love, friendship and relationship advice, just visit nogirlydrama.com.

Re : Lauren’s advice, No doubt she made you smile.
nakakatuwa at nakakabilib naman itong daughter mo. will encourage everyone i know to visit this site.
@Mitchteryosa- 🙂
@ Lady Cess- thank you . lauren is telling me to plug it kasi,
Lauren is such a gifted writer (mana sa mommy). I was also writing poems, scripts of imaginary TV programs etc. at that age…too bad there wasn’t the net to chronicle it all then. Good luck to your daughter’s latest venture. How blogging runs in your family is simply amazing:)
@ajay- she didn’t get her gift from me. Maybe her dad’s genes. I wish I had her creative ability.
Uy ang galing naman ni Lauren! So smart and wise ha! Takes after the mommy 🙂 maybe we should start a new blog nodramafromyourmomma.com na mothers advising daughters naman 🙂 dali! gawin na natin!
@cathy- oo nga Lauren is such an excellent writer. Sige will make the design by thursday.
I think since her blog is female-centered, the more men should be reading her blog. Why? So men like me can understand women even more and so women should also be reading male-centered blog.
Congrats Lauren and thanks Noemi!
seriously, you daughter rocks my world. and i’m a 30 yr old married Mom of 2.
i have been reading Lauren’s blog since ohh 2002, when my daughter stumbled on her site. she is an excellent writer. entice her to write a book.
