The most important and life-changing lesson God taught me and my husband last 2008 was the sureness of death. Having witnessed a friend passing away, God has made me understand how possessions do not matter. All these will be left behind. The gift of the present is to be cherished and lived to the fullest. Carpe diem, indeed.
To be able to live this life making a difference, to share God's love in a me-centered world. This is what we want the kids to learn this 2009. We are adopting a spartan mode of living. Only the essentials. We do not want to live in luxury, but to be able to pass on what has been blessed to us so that others may have another day to live.
Bold and fearless
Relating to this, Paul and I are all set putting up our own company. The first pursuit has been made last year, with music video website SlingandStoneMusic. Have I mentioned this project won 2nd prize in TopCoder's contest? God deserves all of it, and more.
Now, we're pushing it further with SlingandStoneWeb.com. Our very own Filipino IT company to offer web hosting, web design and other web related services. This is Paul's way of easing out of his daily office grind. This is my all, my one big journey with God.
Prayerfully, this will also be the channel God would bless to use us – all of us.

Brother and sister are doing well. I appreciate the good naturedness of the two especially last week when we were left by ourselves. They play together. They share food, not toys. They fight over them. But when they are both in good moods, they really are heaven sent.
Nanny Irish went to the province and was four days late. House chores and caring for the kids were left to me. Daddy Paul was around though he had to report for work January 6. It really felt draining seeing all the tasks I need to do but cannot because the kids are all over me. They love me so much, they want every piece of me. They say this phase doesn't last long. That keeps me going, and that convinced me to not go nanny-free not even for a day. Maybe not until Carlos is four-years old?
Off-topic, but a good consumer news
Sun 3G Broadband Plan 799
If you live in Antipolo City, along Sumulong Highway and are thinking of getting Sun 3G Broadband, you might want to entertain other options. The 3G signal connects 2 out of 10 times I use it. It operates on other signals, EDGE and HSDPA, but they are no good. It's like surfing dial up during early 2000.
It is the cheapest unlimited broadband offering in town, but if the connection is as poor as this, it's not worth the money.
