captured.

because i find ourselves cute in the candidness of these pictures i tried to collage it. hehehe.. dvd just know it's a camera and it's supposed to take pictures. he knows that when i say "one-two-three say cheese!!" it means smile because you'll be captured. he got used with the camera and i guess he already have hundreds of photos at 11 months old.

DVD

dvd @ 1 day old DWU Hospital

this is Dalvinh. even before he was born, we already fondly called him Baby Dave. He is God's gift to us. It just amaze me that my child is loved by many. He's so adorable and i am saying this not because he is my son but truly people that sorrounds us ( church, family and friends) is evidently showing how he is such a charmer.  it was like extremes. when i had him during my first tri, twas like everything was tough. the time when we were confronted with the trying times of our lives and in our downest-darkest moment he was like kicking inside my womb trying to tell me that i have to hang on. i can really feel that extraordinary strength that he was giving me. a God-given strength through baby dave (",). as i went through months of having him inside me, it was the kicks and the active movements that he made that keep me going despite of the turmoil that i and my hubby has to overcome. 


on the otherhand, it was all joy when he came out. the happiness that he was giving me even levelled-up as i delivered him November 23, 2010. as he grew up he was a cuddly baby. he loves to chuckle. he's fond of smiling. he loves to be played and gives you a hearty laugh when he enjoys it! with all the sadness and hurt that we have to get through during my pregnancy dvd gives us so much joy.

as he came into this world beacons a new beginning for us. i am blessed and became even more blessed. he defined what love is all about. he is a miracle God has given us. he is dalvinh and he is my brighter side of life.

*HITCHED...



our wedding band



The day that i got married marks the biggest turning point of my life. it may be  360 degree turn but i can only be happy of the changes. life has been so different since then and i would say it's the most blessed stage of my life; and when i say blessed it includes the tough and rough times because yes, blessing doesn't only come in the positive form. To give you a gist of how the first chapter of my married life has been; it was like from Jaro to Tacloban then to Vietnam (which we thought we will settle for a long term) and back to Tacloban; our Home. Being back in Tacloban was a chance for us to start a new beggining: A family that we now, enjoy. =)

Dalvinh Verl M. Dave was the reason why we got back to our homeland. he was "made in Vietnam" as they would always tease me, but we needed to move back here and raise him here. Life there in VN was not anymore conducive for us to start a family. It was a bit complicated for me to continue my pregnancy there to start with, and this is because of the cultural and language barriers and with the not so advanced medical practice that they have is another factor. it was a big decision to make but through prayers we have felt that the Lord wanted us to go back to where we belong.

and now I'm hitched, let us talk about it. life for me has become so different after i tied a knot with the man i felt the Lord has given me to have half of my life-time with. marriage i realized is not that easy to have but by God's grace going through this journey makes it more bearable. (hehehe) going through its ups and downs becomes lighter. to thank Him for whatever comes your way; good and bad is a joy ride in a rocky road.

i still can not say that i am having the perfect marriage because i know we still have a long-long way to go. after all, there is no perfect marriage. what i can only tell is that, i am happy. I am happy becuase this is what He has given me.

starting all over again...

hello everyone.. finally after a long time, i'm back in the blogging arena. =) i just love this hobby and it makes me glad i was able to revive this. blogging started with me way back in 2007 and i first had it over multiply.com. i had one on this site but i never had the chance to maintain it because mulitply was the one i got hooked on to. i just decided to put up a new one (though i am still maintaining my other blog) because i wanted a different taste of topics to discuss about this time. since i am on another chapter of my life and well... that's about being married and having a child, i prefer to dwell more on talking about stuff that i normally feel, do and experience on a day to day basis of my new found life! my multiply blog was more about my singlehood and i felt like creating a new one rather than to put up a transition. =)

so there it goes, new blog and more new entries to come. i am actually excited of what inputs to compose and i will try my very best to give reads that will humbly make sense.

i will be making the most of my freedom in expressing what i aim to share; good and the not so good! be overwhelmed with me and cry with me as well.

i will share... i will write. =)
