Baby For Sale
Any takers?
So we thought we were ‘adopting’ a baby come January. Turns out that the pregnant young girl was looking for more than just a set of adoptive parents for her child, she is looking for a set of fools who will not just adopt her baby but also be party to her crime by buying her baby for a cheap price: PhP20,000 (US$400).

Happy Anniversary, Freedom!
I am writing this at exactly 8:00 in the evening today for a very specific reason. Today, at this hour, I celebrate the first year anniversary of my liberation.
Last year, I arrived at the Mabalacat Bus Station with my then three year old niece, Asia, bringing nothing else with me except my trusty laptop and the hope for a cleaner slate in life. You see, I was so confused with my life back then. I didn’t know where to begin picking up the pieces and I didn’t know how to rebuild the life that I lost in my desire to feed my carnal needs. I was an adulterer. And this day last year, when I boarded the bus for home, I found the courage to liberate myself from the bondages of my sinfulness, by God’s grace, I found the strength to make that leap of faith, to walk my very first step towards Christ.

Papano ba maging sosyal?
Papano nga ba maging susyal?
Isa itong kweystyun na gumugulo sa aking murang isipan magmula ng mapangasawa ko si Migraine Boy. As you all know (as if!), si Migraine Boy ay nanggaling sa buena familia, mala-Mano Po ang dating, yun lang maaga silang naulila sa pudra kaya tanging mudra na lamang ang nagpalaki sa kanila. Life wasn’t that buena for them, pero dahil masipag at matyaga si mudra tulad ng karaniwang Chinese, she was able to give her three sons the best of the best.
Magandang edukasyon, masasarap na fuds, trips abroad, tig-isang yaya at kung anik anik pa. In short, by Pinoy standards, mayaman sila. Kaya si Migraine Boy, lumaking layaw din.

Women’s Rights?
Without intending to directly ride the US election storm, After His Own Heart bumped into this youtube video which is too hard to resist posting here.
May this short clip somehow aide US voters in making their decision on who they will vote for.
But more importantly, may the shocking revelation from this video also awaken the conscience of hundreds (maybe millions?) of women out there who are Pro-Choice. It is time we examine our values, consciences and morals and it is time to wake up from a long, deep slumber.

God’s Best Gift Is Not For Me
Sometime in May this year, I had the privilege of listening to a Dr. John MacArthur sermon (mp3) about motherhood and he mentioned something in passing which struck me and stuck with me ever since. Today, I would like to share those words here with the hope of extending comfort to those who, like me, struggle with the pain of unexplained infertility.
John MacArthur was talking about Hannah in 1 Samuel in this sermon:
Listen, ladies, not only do you need a right heavenly, or rather a right husband relationship but a right heavenly one, too. It’s needful that when you have some problem you go to the Lord with it. She vowed a vow, she said, “O Lord of hosts, O Lord of hosts, if Thou wilt…” and she began to pray.

Embracing His Will
How does one embrace the possibility of becoming childless for good?
Warren and I decided to stop from undergoing fertility treatments. For now it seems that he plans to stop temporarily but he could also be considering stopping it altogether, for good. I can only stand by the sidelines and let my husband lead me into the future. I am too exhausted emotionally and even physically to still think and make future plans of action. Anyway, we both agreed that this may not be the time to pursue medical intervention.
We agreed that our faith teaches us to rely on God and trust in His mercy and grace, that no matter how much we could spend and if ever we decided to spend for treatments, we will not conceive if God would not allow it. In the same manner, we will conceive even if we do not undergo fertility work ups if God wants to give us a child. Either way, there really isn’t anything man, medicine, science and technology can do unless God wills it.

Feeling under the weather
I had quite a “chatty” day today.
Spent most of the morning and the early part of the afternoon on messenger with friends. With that being said, most of you probably are starting to get that all warm and fuzzy feeling because, well, you know, nothing brings warmth to the heart than the thought of having quality time with friends, right? Wrong.
If it were a boxing match, I tell yah, I would have come out of it all black and blue and wouldn’t have made it to the 3rd round, na-ah.(Find out why by clicking here)
Have you kissed a girl?
My hubby is extremely addicted to Kate Perry and her new song entitled I Kissed A Girl. Like any full blooded and straight man, the concept of two women kissing brings him into a frenzy.
