Soon, You'll See. All You Do Comes With A Price.

2011 starts in a week. 2010 was a year full of loss and unforgettable experiences. Maan and Jai got married June 1st while Ate Kyle and kuya Chard are getting married on Jan. 15, 2011. Chino and Ecat are going to be parents. Somehow, they bring back my worrisome self. Worrisome, pressured self.

In my mind now are so many questions that need answers. However, curiosity might kill the cat or in my case, it took of the life of my darling Poppy. I can never get over how a dog given a lease on life was taken away by death; thus, not giving her the chance to live. It breaks my heart. It would be years until I decide with Divine Providence's guidance to be responsible for and take full ownership/be liable for a child's life and future. It isn't mine to give and forfeit but God The Father's.

After her death, a lot has changed for me. I would pamper Bea's shih tzu, Doug, everyday without fail. I put his needs first before mine and see to it he was bathed, combed, fed and healthy. Likewise, he's the family's "baby boy" once more.

Am I doing all these to prepare myself for the possibility of motherhood in the future? Is it only because I love dogs that I'm better at babysitting them than if they were my godkids or nieces and nephews? Before, I truly feared childbirth. I blame the media for promoting teen pregnancy and using it as bait to lure young girls to audition for reality shows such as "16 and Pregnant" and "Teen Mom".

MTV introduced these shows probably to somehow shed light on America's growing number of teenage pregnancies. I don't believe I'm the only one who finds this gimmick absurd and lacks values. not since the age of mobile phones and online chat did I see such a boon to society as a whole. Let me warn you how sensitive I'll be with this issue. Tread the path you're on with extreme caution.

Having known girls who are single moms by choice or accident (or fate, if you prefer) is not an easy truth to deal with. Why be in a rush to have kids if when the moment you've had them, all you recall and dwell on is the cause for their existence? You might find it hard in the long run to to stare at and touch your child for it feels like you're looking at and caressing their biological mum or dad.

Personally, there are 2 situations I wouldn't wish anyone on Earth to be in: abandoned by a boyfriend who lusted on you, made love to you and left you with your kid with him as a result of both yours and his immaturity. Yet, we're human and no matter how many mistakes we commit, God never ceases to understand us and love us. That's how His relationship with us works.

While there are a lot who ridicule you and taunt you for not thinking about your actions before you acted on them, God allows us to learn from what we've done and lets us be alone or discuss our problems with a trusted friend to find solutions to these unexpected situations.

2010 Christmas Wishlist

It's that time of the year again. Since I am so undecided about what I really want for Christmas and the fact that I am also scared to ask for over-the-top presents, I'll just make a list of what I think are quite reasonable presents to receive this year.

1.Grendha Pop Top Jelly Flats - Available at Shoe Salon







2. Complete Set of Pretty Little Liars books- This was turned into a TV series starring Lucy Hale and it is aired on ETC.









3. Nivea Angelstar beauty products- I so love these Nivea products! Love the scent and it is very hypoallergenic and safe on the skin.








4. Super Junior concert tickets
They will performing at the Araneta Center on February 26, 2011. Since these tickets are quite pricey, I would be lucky if I get them for free just like I got the Beast and KHJ plus rain concert tickets.









5. Trip to Singapore w/ my family which includes a Universal Studios SG tour- Preferably during the summer break.
