how can you actually know what's on the other side, when you don't pick up the courage to stand up and crossover to that side? surely there will be fear (lots of it), doubts, anxiety, but you must always think of what it might actually be when it's positively the other way around.
making big decisions is awful. why? because everything doesn't really depend on what you decide. it's a mixture of you, and the whole universe around you. what you can really bring with you is not the talents or the gifts or the monies, but the courage to face adversities in your midst. because you'll never really know unless you get there and actually live the being, the time, the essence. maybe you've exhausted all the pro's and con's... maybe you've verified the authenticity of it... maybe you talked to some people to confirm it... in the end, it's still up to you to make the decision and stay firm. you should never give up, you should never expect it to be perfect, for in that comes disappointments.
live life as it comes your way. hope for the best, expect for the worst. and you don't really have to worry, because you're never alone. He will always be with you, you just got to have faith that He will not want bad things for you. hurt happens for a reason, it strengthens your dignity and makes you appreciate life better. remember your friends who are always there for you, who will stand beside you through it all. they may not always say the right words to comfort you... you may not always hear what you want to hear from them... but in the end, they've always loved you.
i'm picking up my courage to take the big leap. i don't know anything about the other side, but i'm gonna find out. and if it's not as good as i thought it would be, i can always go back to my dear family who loves me and will never abandon me. i can always start again... that's the challenge of living. thank you dadi rock for being so supportive... thank you for encouraging me to become the best that i can be. love ya dadi nino! :)

birthdays galore part 2
we celebrated noah's 1st birthday on a saturday, february 11, 2007 at 3pm in the afternoon. it was a swimming party with all the kids and parents and our friends. thanks to my kumpareng rodel and ate tess, we were able to reserve a barbeque pit at their condo in bullion park.
hanzel, eddie's friend from back home, was on a vacation here in sg and he likes to cook. i admit, he's really good at it. so we asked him to do the cooking for us on that day. we ordered papaitan, spaghetti, paksiw na pata, sweet and sour meatballs, barbeque chicken and barbeque liempo. he also made some leche flan for dessert. we brought some hotdogs also for barbequeing. and the cake that eventually melted a little so the boy that was sitting on top of it, fell down on the icing hehehe! our guests thought it was really made that way bwahahahah! i should have asked the delivery man to just deliver it in the afternoon.
anyway, there were lots of chatting and get together of some old and new friends. of course, the ever loyal and dependable ptv4 staff was there. special thanks to bossing also, who was our official photographer that day. darwin and pazette was there also together with their own bundle of joy, morrison. hono's family was there also, and nat's and malou's kids. anton and ellen with their kid, and also our kumares and kumpares (trina and ken, mader cecel and lew, hani and ffg, rodel and teena with their families too). laura and eugene's kids were also present as well as welong and chat with gelay.
noah showed everyone that he can now walk, well not that good hehe... he still stumbles and sways but he's totally enjoying it. he and nixon had a swim later in the afternoon with some of their kid friends. we were done at around 9pm in the evening. i'm just so happy we were able to pull it off for our little boy's 1st :)
