It’s Halloween, past 9pm in the evening and so far the number of trick-or-treaters that dropped by our apartment is, … ZERO.
Not even one shadow of a cutie ghost came to visit us. This is the second year that we bought treats for the kids but it’s so sad and a bit humiliating ( hahaha, it really is if you’ll ask me ) that nobody came. I shouldn’t have spent a penny for this Halloween event. The chocolates we bought should and would probably all be eaten by my sweet-toothed husband who likes chocolates so much that I can’t believe it.
Now anyway, where did all those children go? On regular days, I see them playing and hollering on the front lawn but not today nor tonight. Just when you needed them , they are nowhere to be found.
Anyways, kids or no kids around, Happy Halloween to all of you !!!

I’ve been real worried these past two weeks, I fear I am pregnant but I really cannot be sure till my monthly period gets delayed. A friend told me to take a day-after pill, another one offered that she’ll adopt my child in case I don’t want the baby. I may be worried about the costs and consequences of having another baby but I have no intention of killing my unborn child whether it’s just blood that’s a day old and no matter how strained our family’s finances will be with an additional child, I will never give any of them away. That’s just not me.
I am a firm believer that children are our blessings, our gifts from God , and I believe too, that God gives us our children, whether they were planned or not, because of the role that they have to play in the future. Things happen for a reason but as of right now, at 36 years old, I am just not yet ready for a second child. My firstborn John is only 25 months old, and is always sick. It makes me guilty to think that if I have another one now, I would be robbing him of the care and attention that otherwise should have been his alone.
I felt a little bit worried about it and times like this nobody can help me now except Him. Only He can change the circumstances , and change the outcome of man’s irresponsible actions, me and my husband’s included. Only He knows what lies beyond my future. So I prayed that if the good Lord wants me to have another baby, then His will be done. But I did pray too, that if He thinks it will be too hard for me, especially with my two-year old getting sick all the time, He should delay it for two more years. I just think that by four years old, little John will be ready to be a big brother.
I am grateful that He did not make me wait too long for His answer. Thankfully, last Friday, I had my monthly period again. It was weird that my period would come that soon but it did, hurray ! God is not God for nothing. What is impossible for me is possible for Him. I just want to give thanks to the Lord, that yes, I am not yet pregnant !!!
God is good and He is, all the time. He never fails to show His goodness and I am thankful.
Many thanks to Jucjacob for this video.

Hmp, somebody copied one of my blog entries and reposted it in his own site. That wasn’t nice of him huh? How could he do that ? After I labored and slaved to compose that entry and he just copied and pasted it ? What nerve and gall !
I told my brother about it and he told me that the culprit probably did not copy and pasted my entry but rather he used a software which grabs posts from other blogsites because as bloggers, having more posts in our sites would mean more traffic, more visitors. I was amazed at this new technology but I was also enraged because it seemed that some unscrupulous people are out there who are profiting from the works of innocent people like me.
As of this moment , I really don’t know what I will do about this “blog-entry grabber” but the only thing I know is that I have posted this entry in two of my sites and I am its one and only author.
Just a reminder too for people who have this penchant for copy pasting, please don’t do it. Those are not your work and thus you do not have the right to post it to some other sites. I will also be revising some entries that I made here since some of them has some copied texts since I wanted to be as accurate as possible when I am stating something very important like USCIS fees, so I copied and pasted some articles. I still have to check if they gave the public the permission to reprint it. But as advised by my brother, one can only quote a certain part of these texts but not copy the article in its entirety.
This is my lesson of the day.
