Henry Lubong's Journal

When years are passing by like days,
and in my hand your hand is placed,
a knowing smile crosses your face,
a simple touch can still make my heart race.
When I can see my soul in your eyes,
and you see your soul in mine we realize,
that a love so deep can harbor no lies,
where our only tears shed [...]

I would like to introduce my brand new son, Raphael Angelo Lubong. Praise be to God for blessing us with another angel in the family. Raphael Angelo was born today, September 22, 2009, Tuesday at 6:58 pm. He was 8 lbs and 2 oz and 19.5 inches long. We are very fortunate for we are [...]

This is it my friends. We’re gonna have the baby born today. My wife went to her OB this morning and she was told to go to the hospital to be induced. She’s at 4-5cm right now. I’m very excited to see my son! For sure, I’ll have pictures and videos later

Sometimes babysitting can be fun. Those are mine and Carmela’s footprints in the blanket.

No wonder why Carmela’s toys are nowhere to be found. She’s been hiding them inside my subwoofer.

Time really flies. Carmela Angela just turned one yesterday. I can’t believe I already have a one year old. We celebrated her birthday at Las Palmas Park in Sunnyvale. I thought it turned out really well. Some of our friends, co-workers and families attended the party with their little ones. The kids had so much [...]

I had a call this morning from my Dad that my Mom is at Kaiser hospital because of an unusual back pain. So we went there and got a chance to talked to the attending Doctor. We were told that it could be a kidney stone but they were still waiting for the test results [...]

We went to Regional Medical Center Of San Jose this afternoon to have the D&C (dilation and curettage) surgery done for Donna. She was put under general anesthesia and in less than half an hour, the procedure was done. We’re both in sorrow but we’ve already accepted this unfortunate incident in our lives. It’s not [...]

We tried the best we can to save our baby but maybe it’s not meant to happen. The ultrasound gave the same result and Donna’s hGC level went down to 16,000. It’s not easy to accept that the baby we are expecting is now gone. But that’s how life is, we have to face the [...]

Donna went for her hCG test this morning and just got the result. Amazingly, the previous hCG count of 27,000 went up to 50,000. This is good news. The fetus is causing this to go high so there is a possibility that the fetus is still alive. Her OB said it’s possible that the fetus’ [...]

We went to chruch this evening and ask our minister to annoint my wife with oil and pray for her. Nothing is impossible to God and miracles do happen.

I took Donna to her OB this morning for her monthly pregnancy checkup. She’s about 10 weeks. We were both excited because this will be the firts time we are going to hear our baby’s heartbeat. The MA took us to one of the rooms and she started doing a doppler test. We couldn’t hear [...]

A friend called me and said that he’ll be staying over in my house for the weekend and he’ll see me in 3 hours. Ah… what do you expect me to do, turn him away!? He’s like a brother to me. I’ve known him for almost 17 years now. He and his wife and two [...]

She rolls, she tumbles, she crawls… next thing you know she’s on her two feet running around the house.

We had her ear pierced today at Icing by Claire’s. My daughter is a brave girl. She cried for 5 seconds and back to playing again
