It's the month of graduations and moving up ceremonies. Children can't wait to go on another journey in their lives while missing the people and events that made their stay in school memorable and exciting while parents are very excited to see their children go up the stage as they move up another year in school or finally receive their diplomas.
Finishing each level of education is a success and progress by itself. It shows how a student commits to reaching a goal of getting a degree, the educators working hard to guide and mold young minds, the parents who work hard to give a good education and future for their children who are their biggest treasures in the world and the community who work on influencing and guiding our youth to become the best they can be.
Moving up is a sign of progress, growth and it also indicates change. Moving up does not only happen during graduation but in many aspects of our lives. It happens when we are promoted or when we are given more challenging roles in our respective careers. It also can be the improvement of one's lifestyle due to hard work and perseverance to give a good life to his or her family. It can also be termed as level up or simply improving.
Time, forces and certain factors will make us feel that it is the right time to work on move up. God will guide us to where we should be and what we should do next. He will give us what is best for us at His best time.
I am sure each of us has passed through struggles and conquered them. In our personal lives, in our career and in any aspect of our daily lives, we go through struggles and we become emotional especially if it something that we value.
Why do we struggle? Sometimes, it's because we need to make life changing decisions. Sometimes, the decisions affects our loved ones and family. Sometimes, we need to choose. Sometimes, we are so undecided that we are left in a quandary.
Struggles mean we have choices or options. It just means we need to choose our own adventure. It also means we still have time to make well thought of and well informed decisions that we can commit to.
I am currently seeking God's guidance and listening to my loved ones and supporters on what is best for my next step. I want to do so much and I need to make an important decision soon. I hope and pray that it will be the best and most appropriate decision. I offer my life to the Lord.
Jan. 3, 2012
It's a new year. We look forward to a new beginning and to be much better than what we were last year. We also hope and pray for more blessings and opportunities.
Every time a new year comes, we are full of hope and optimism. Moreover, we want to start the year right and well.
Let us pray for God's guidance as we make things better in our lives and for our community and country.
Happy and blessed 2012 to everyone! Me and my family pray and hope for love, peace, prosperity and happiness to one and all. God bless.

God has plans for each of us. It is said that when a door closes, a window opens. This is so true with the presidential appointments of my father and brother.
God knows what is best for us. We should trust Him. This is of relevance to the appointments of my sister and the acceptance of my wife to her dream role.
My brother, former 3 term Barotac Viejo Mayor Raul C. Tupas (former Captain of the Special Forces of the Philippine Army) was appointed by Pres. Noynoy Aquino last September as Department of Agriculture National Director 3. He was also given special order by Dept. of Agri. Sec. Alcala to be his Technical Assistant for Regions 6 and 10. Congratulations again bro and continue to do well for the Ilonggos, the farmers and the nation in general. Good luck and God bless.
My father, former Barotac Viejo Municipal Mayor, former Region VI Assemblyman, former Congressman of the 5th District of Iloilo and former Governor of the Province of Iloilo Atty. Niel D. Tupas Sr. was nominated by Pres. Noy just this 1st week of November as Philippine National Oil Company Exploration Corporation (PNOC EC) Executive. Congratulations again Tatay for being PNOC EC Director. Continue to do well for the Ilonggos, for oil and energy consumers and for the nation. Do well and God bless.
My sister, Nielette Tupas Balleza was also appointed about 7 months ago as PCSO National Consultant. She has helped a lot of people who need medical assistance and has assisted the PCSO Chairman in numerous programs and projects. She graduated Magna Cum Laude from UPD and was under the BAMA Honors Program.
My beloved wife, Dr. Candice Alumisin-Tupas worked hard to gain a slot to become a dermatologist resident. She passed through the qualifying phase, got exams, passed requirements, was chosen from the numerous applicants to join the pre-residency phase (only 15 were called) until she was accepted to join as Derma Resident of a State Owned Hospital (only 2 of them were chosen if I am not mistaken) and will become a Medical Officer 3 starting January next year. I am so proud of you wifey. Your dream of helping more people will happen. I love you.
