2009 A Year of Full of Challenges, A Year to Raise the Bar ....

January 2009 will be over soon in just a matter of days. I started the year with an extended vacation - well because my brother and sister spent the holidays here in ther Philippines. It's not every year that i get the chance to spend much time with my family plus the fact that my Nanay will be migrating to the US as well in February so I would like to spend more time with her as possible. Anyways as the global economy continues to go down and become unstable I think this is a year when everyone needs to hold on to whatever job they have as of the moment....not knowing what comes ahead this year is faced with a lot of challenges. Recession happening globally, a lot of foreign investments pulling out business in the country.

As for me and Agirl this year we have decided to complete our family.

Lots of things to consider and prepare for...financial, emotional and spiritual preparation as we hopefully welcome the coming of our much awaited baby --- not only by us but by family and friends. As everyone we meet always asks us when we will have our baby. I also want to challenge myself in my work ... I'll be turning one year in my job and I would want to take the next steprs in my career growth... in terms of responsibilities and accomplishments not to forget that this is tied with our first challenge --- providing the best to my family ....

In my services in community I commit to give more time and be able to serve more through the Training Ministry and in the Young Couples group. This year also I would like to challenge our spiritual life as husbands and wife as I'm sure my wife would agree with me that this is something we would want to impart to our children - that they become a loving and faithful servant of the Lord.

With my relationship with my wife ... I know that if our baby comes this year this will be another major adjustment for us both. I challenge myself to be able to spend more quality time with her and with her alone. Hopefully this year i will be able to set a regular weekly date with her. A time devoted just for her.


11 months to go for 2009, a lot of things to accomplish a lot of things needs to be done so I would like to start the year saying that I welcome all the challenges that will come my way and I keep my trust and faith in Him that amidst all this His guidance and blessings will be upon me and my family. As early as now i want to take this opportunity to thank my loving and very supportive wife...As we continue to live our lives together I feel blessed not just knowing you are always by my side but by experiencing your love and support. I offer everything to you and our children to be but most of all to the Lord Almighty whom we owe everything. Praise be to God !!!
