15 Years, One Baby-Now-Teenager, and a Return to Writing, Without AI

You know, I was getting tired of watching, reading, and looking at the amount of AI slop on the internet nowadays. So I decided, you know what? I am going to restart writing, with no AI assistance at all!

Yes, just like the old days, using just my mind. Haha!

Like a muscle that has not been used for a long time and slowly shrivels and wastes away, I don't want that for my mind. I want to think for myself and not let Gen AI think for me. (And hopefully save the environment in my own small way too. Thank you, Stephanie Tia, for educating me on that!)

So, after that long but, I feel, necessary introduction, why am I writing this post?

Well, I noticed that it has been 15 years since I started this blog!

Cray cray, right?


What started as a few posts about our journey into becoming parents has now seen our "baby" become a teenager in what feels like the blink of an eye!

So, what have we learned?

Well, for one, guide your kids; don't push them into dreams that you once had. Let them discover the world at their own pace. Yes, as parents, we have the responsibility to lead them, but do it in love and as Christians, with the fear of the Lord, for it is truly the beginning of all wisdom.

To you young parents, or parents-to-be: you WILL make mistakes. You will not get everything right, and that's okay.

Learn from your mistakes. Seek your elders' advice (they are human too, so use your judgement!), but more importantly, let God guide you on your journey as a parent.

My wife and I have always relied on Him, and He has never let us down. There were times when we didn't understand why certain things happened the way they did, but faith, prayer, and worship have been our tools throughout this journey.

And somehow, 15 years later, here we are, looking at the little baby we once wrote about, now a teenager, and wondering where all those years went.

God bless you all.

And I will try to write more as time permits.

And yes, no unnecessary AI, please! 😄

From Diaper Speedster to Running Superstar: My Baby's Incredible Journey

You won't believe it, but my daughter has discovered her love for running! It's like she was bitten by the running bug, and there's no stopping her now. Who would've thought that running was hiding in our genes all this while? Well, except for Papa, who was a state runner, but let's not digress. Back when she was just a tiny tot, she was already showing signs of being a speed demon. I remember those diaper days when she waddled faster than a speeding bullet, and my wife and I would chase after her like we were in a race against time. Diaper speedster, they should add that to the Olympics! The first hint of her running prowess came during her kindergarten's fun run event. She had to pass the baton to her friend and, boy, did she turn on the turbo boost. She zipped past her classmates like the Flash on a mission. Unfortunately, her teammates couldn't keep up, and they toddled along like slowcoaches. Ah, kindergarten drama, you gotta love it! But it was in Stan...

Education is the most important tool for anyone. With education comes power and the ability to choose somewhat your own path in life. Lessons however do not end at the end of our formal education as we learn everyday in life. As Albert Einstien stated, "Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school". That is why we decided a few months back to bring Stephanie Tia to a playschool. It is not so much on the learning but the chance for her to mingle around with kids her own age. Mind you, we had no problem at all with the previous babysitter who is excellent by the way, but we felt baby needed this.
