We live a simple life; we live in a place away from the hustles of city life (8 kms. away form city proper). In fact, we live in a small Nipa Hut, sorrounded by fruit trees. At the back our our house is a small pond, were Tilapia, Bangus and other native fish & ducks freely swim. Iguanas are frequent visitors to the pond.

We asked God to give us kids, instead he gave us angels: Rafael Regan (Gan2x) and Francine Mikaela (Ella). Rafael was born Sept. 8, 2003. Ella will celebrate her first birthday on November 3,2005.

Typical of a Filipino close family ties characteristic... our in-laws live just 30 meters away from us. Tatay and Nanay are the core of our moral values. Their influence on our prayer life is contagious... Everyday, Nanay goes to the chapel to pray the rosary with her sisters; every Sunday, Tatay will lead the community in celebrating the Holy Mass.

We've had our share of life's joys and pains, the Yin Yang of life. Every day is a struggle for us, eventhough we (Mama & Papa) are both working in a local water district. It seems that our expenses are far greater than the sum of our earnings. Honestly, we tried to minimize our expenses... but our daily needs just cant be denied. Gan2x and Ella's milk alone are very expensive... We have to pay our water and electric bills... We have to hire yaya's for our kids since we are both working... Of course we need to set aside a few pesos for our daily meals... and that does not include our transportation expenses. Yet we were able to end each day with a smile, a hug to our kids everytime we go home seems to evaporate all the days tensions.

To see our children healthy everyday is enough for us... as long they are free from any sickness, we can survive.
