		<description>why do you even think about falling?  soar, paru-paro, soar!  btw, if what you plan to do has anything to do with writing, there's no way you'll fail.</description>

		<description>I too had the opportunity to experience being a working mom (15 years) and a stay-at-home mom (7mos).  After being a SAHM for about 7 months, I went back to work with a heavy heart.  It was mainly because resources were just enough for the basic needs and one window of opportunity remained shut.  I didnt really have to work but without sounding too selfish, I missed having my own means to do/buy things without touching the budget.  It was a tough decision to make and the job didn't come easy as well.  But with prayers and the support of my hubs added to my credentials, I was able to do it.  However, if resources were unlimited, SAHM it is for me.  

My advice is for you to know what your heart desires and to go for it.  God bless you! :)</description>

		<description>ruthie,
it is but normal to feel a bit apprehensive about this, but i can sense that you are a very strong woman, plus smarty pa, you will be able to juggle the roles of being a wife, mom and career person, kung nakaya ng iba, mas kakayanin mo! go, go, go! God bless!</description>

		<description>naku, kayang kaya mo yan, ruth ... pero if i may express my own feelings din ... i worked for a few years before sam and i got married so i know both ends of the stick, working mom and stay-at-home mom. sa totoo lang, masarap maging pensionado ng asawa! kung hindi nga lang kailangan, i would rather stay home and take care of my babies. :D pero yes, after a couple of years you get to thinking of independence again, your growing child's as well as your own.</description>
