The next in line


This is Naybi. My 1-year-old daughter and was born on May 8, 2006. She looks like his daddy and as cute as JK. Some of her attitude and cuteness remind us of Kaylin; a little girl that used to live in San Diego. She loves flowers, books, cellphones, car alarms, and keyboards. She loves to sing and dance, and she loves to eat grapes. Her first word is DADA but she prefers MOMI.... She loves her brother.... she learned the sound of a jet plane, car, train from JK. She bullies her brother sometimes because she thought she can get what she wants and guess what? It works. Every single day is a new day to her and her brother; a full of adventure and excitement.... She is one of the greatest gift in my life.

Meet my first born


His name is Jehoiakim (JK for short). He came to my life when I was down, so down. I am grateful that he came and save me from misery. He brings the good things in me and how to be strong and how to move on with life. I love him and I am thankful to be his mom.....


He was born on the 16th of January 2004, 12:30 in the afternoon. He was a yellow baby. When he was 2-weeks old, he was diagnosed with respiratory syncytial virus. RSV is a highly contagious virus which is quite prevalent during the winter months. It is transmitted primarily by hand-to-nose, hand-to-mouth, and hand-to-eye contact. He stayed at the Children's Hospital for 5 days. I thought I am going to loose him. I was so scared....


He grew up without a father, and he was raised by my parents and me. He looked up at my brother as his father not just an uncle. He loves JK so much....


When Joey came to our life, it was not easy. It took him a while to figure out how to like a man that I like, and how to love him. But, he is happy to call Joey "daddy" and I am happy to see them together laughing, giggling, teasing.....


He is now 4, and he is in Pre-K. He loves to go to school because of his friends, and the things that he learns every single day (except taking a nap). He is a good helper and a nice kuya to his sister Naybi.

How I met my husband?

I met my husband through the Internet. A website called LDS Planet 2 years ago. I was not really looking for someone to marry but for some reason I made a profile for myself. I was a single mom for a while and I am not really planning to meet other people. Then one day, I received a message from a guy named Joseph and asking me if we could be friends. He said he liked me, and my profile. He left his phone number for me to contact him. I was not really sure about it since he did not had a picture for me to look at and to see if he is pogi or not. So, I ignored his message. For five times, he kept on sending the same message and pleading to call him. However, I finally gave up; I took a deep breath and dialed the phone. His phone was ringing (Ring!Ring! Ring!), and on the other hand, I was shaking (Yikes!). He answered, and I said HI! Just a simple hello and boom everything turned red, blue, and green, maybe pink, and yellow; all the colors of the rainbow.
