All Around Pinas

Ok, got this from Monna and also Dennis. There's this site where you can check the places around the Philippines that you've been to, and it rates you as a traveller.

How much of the Philippines have you visited? Find out at Lakbayan!

My Lakbayan grade is B-!

Well, there are a lot of places I haven't been to. But what's surprising is it seems I haven't even set foot on north eastern Luzon! Hmm...more places to visit soon! :)

Baby On The Way

Well, this ultrasound pic was taken last April 14...pero excited na ata kami ngayon. Hehe. Two months to go!

Roxy's birthday gift to us -- our first baby stuff!

We still don't have much baby stuff, and I guess we're gearing ourselves up for a headache since we're also going to move house in the next two months. That means furniture and baby expenses all rolled into one big bang! Bok also has a new toy -- a brand new videocam (thanks BPI Installment Madness!) But, we'll just take things one at a time...well, we have no choice actually, we have to. :)

Good day to all!

Our Deepest Fear

Well, I found this quote in, of all places, a baby magazine (that I got for free from this childbirth class. It turns out the teacher is also a columnist for this magazine).

A quote by inspirational book author Marianne Williamson, from her 1992 book "A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of a Course in Miracle":

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is wihtin us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
