Being a Mom is indeed a very challenging yet fulfilling job. Oops, did I just say "job"? Noble job, I guess ;) My son's first birthday celebration was a huge success, well, it's just a very simple celebration yet very satisfying enough because I got the full support from my family. Thank you guys! My son's day started with blowing a candle on his "cupcake"! LOL! My dear hubby took the effort in buying three cupcakes and a candle for his unico hijo. As if our little boy knew that it was his day, he woke up really early!

To our baby, it is my prayer that you will grow in accordance to the will of God. We love you so much, Jeush Gregory.

Me and my hubby has been married for almost two years now and you might want to ask how many times did we changed our residential address. Well, for the record, we have moved for six times already! Can you imagine the stress it caused on us? Moving residence is not that easy. Aside from the fact that you need to adjust again to your new environment, packing and unpacking itself already cost your time and energy. Another stressor was the transportation. It is just too difficult to contact a readily available vehicle especially if you need it too bad. It was our experience that we were left with no other choice but to rent a very small vehicle where it needs to transport all our belongings twice! One reason that we moved out was because the owner decided to use the place we have rented and he wants us to move immediately as in literally on the very day that he told us to moved out! The other reason was that I was threatened with the super typhoon during that time because the place where we previously stayed was prone to flash floods so we moved out unexpectedly. Situation like this was indeed stressful.

Well, if I just live in Ottawa, maybe my experience would be a whole lot different. Movers in Ottawa don't find moving out as stressful one. Why? Because Bye Bye Moving company just do it for them. With Bye Bye Moving, you will not only be relieved from stress, you will also be assured that you have made the right choice with them. So if you are from Ottawa and planning to move out your residence or businesses, plan ahead and consider them in your list. The demenageur ottawa knows your moving needs such as packing and unpacking as well as storage of your valuables while moving out. You will never go wrong with them.

Life is indeed unpredictable. Another friend/classmate way back in college passed away. We've lost contact since our graduation but somehow my memories with him can't be easily forgotten. We both love to sketch. I remember most of our bonding moments were spent in pencils and papers. That's how my friendship goes with Joven. We are not really that close. We seldom bond but somehow we were able to build connections that doesn't really necessarily requires our time to be together all the time. We both have different circles of best friends but we do have common friends and that's how we keep our friendship alive.

Novemeber 21, 1981- January 19, 2012

After college days, we lost contact then. I learned that he was already in Cebu working as call center agent. Then last Saturday, I was shocked by the news that he already passed away. All my memories with him suddenly flashed before me and I realized I have wasted lots of time. I know for sure that he didn't forget me as well, we just both too preoccupied with our lives that we don't bother to get in touch with each other. I was surprised how my other classmates had a constant communications with him. Honestly, am not really good with communications. My best friend in Taiwan, our classmates too, is fully aware of that. 

To you, Joven, may you rest in peace. 

Reunion like this should not be held in a place like this... Just a thought.

"Many are the plans of man, but it is the plan of God that shall prevail..."

As of this moment, I would like to be optimistic about this. As optimistic as I should be. Things didn't fall into places as we have planned thus I would like to believe that God has a purpose about it. It's our fault anyway. We are way too relax that we were not able to consider the possibilities. 

My only motive after all was to make my baby's day extra special but maybe we can still make it happen in a different way, maybe not with grand celebration  but with something else. I should be thankful after all that God has been so faithful with my baby's life. For his good health, the indescribable joy that he brought into our life and for the life itself that God gave unto him. Why should I be worried after all? God has a wonderful plan after all. So I should keep it that way... just the way it is

:)

Yah, it is definitely Tuesday today! See how time flies so fast as in real fast?! Fifteen days from now I will have a one year old baby (so excited about it!) Whether there will be a celebration or not the answer is positive. Well, it's not that grand actually, I might have preferred it as a family celebration only because aside from the fact that we cannot afford an el grande one, I don't want to stress myself that much in thinking about things that will only consume much of my worries and apprehensions. I think balloons, cakes, ice cream and goodies for little children and some simple tokens will already do. Hmm this is going to be my first time and I don't want to put much pressure about it LOL! 

I am just so thankful that my baby is now getting bigger and bigger and he is so simply irresistible! He learns easily and mind you he could be a real darling.
