BACK TO SCHOOL
2008-06-04 11:36:00
I'm excited to go back to school! I've enrolled myself in our church's Every Nation Leadership Institute (ENLI) and classes starts next week. I'll be on my first year, first semester. Woohoo! ENLI is a two-year, part-time program that is purposefully designed to provide discipleship training and biblical teaching for people from all walks of life. You know, I never liked going to school before but this time, I'm looking forward to it. =D

TRUE FRIENDS ARE GIFTS FROM GOD
2008-06-02 11:23:00
I was on my way to work this morning when I got a call from my very good friend, Corry, who has been like a second mom to me. She asked me if I was okay. I was kinda lost for a while and then she said she read or heard a news that the Philippines was hit by a strong earthquake. I was surprised because I didn't hear that from the news and I didn't find that in the newspapers either. Hmm... I'm quite sure I didn't feel anything. In other words, I didn't know there was an earthquake here had I not received a call from Corry and checked it on the internet. Thank God there were no casualties. Later on, I've read that it measured 6.8 on the Richter scale. It rocked the northern part of the Philippines and the southern part of Taiwan. Lord, thank you for sparing us. Another dear blogger friend of mine, Enid, emailed me weeks ago also asking if I was okay because she heard that China was struck by a strong earthquake too and she thought I was from there. Thank God I wasn't....

California Auto Insurance
2008-06-02 08:02:00
In this world and age where everything is fast and instant, I wonder how people nowadays view the word WAIT. Instant messaging, fast food, quick cash loans, etc. Have you heard of the California auto Insurance , Chicago auto Insurance and the like? They give free auto insurance quotes with no personal information needed. Almost everything can be attained quickly and instantly now. How do we score when we have to do some waiting?

THANKFUL THURSDAY
2008-05-29 05:29:00
This week I thank God for:My new phone. I just realized that months back I told God that I wanted to buy a new camera and a new iPod video. I could buy them now, of course, by using my credit card. BUT I won't! That'll add up on my credit card debt which I'm trying to pay off the soonest possible time. But God knows what I want (read: not need) and He gave me a phone that has both a camera (better than my old one) and an mp3 player (like that of an iPod). And here's a bonus, it also has a video recorder. All in one. Surely, God knows better. If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!" Matthew 7:11The half sack of rice I received. You see, that's a staple here in the Philippines and the price for this had gone up. Quite a number of people can't even afford to buy this for their family anymore. Then our company has given all its employees half ...

A NIGHT OF JAZZ
2008-05-27 06:36:00
Last Saturday after the church service, my friend Rolly and I went to join other friends at the Bahay Ligaya Restaurant somewhere in White Plains. There was an enchanting event produced by Norman Castillo - A Night of Jazz . Let me tell you, the food was superb! Love it! The place was so inviting, so cozy, so much like home. I'm not fond of jazz, really, but I know when someone CAN sing. Lovely voices, jazz singers Stella Ignacio and Fil-Jap Aisaku. I was so impressed with how good they scat. Wow! A guy who's far more senior than most of us, still very much good looking, Poch Suzarra, plays the drums excellently. Oh goodness, Mr. Marcie Estrella is an ace when it comes to playing the harmonica. Believe me, I was surrounded by beautiful and gifted people. The event was made alive by the very talented Jada. Indeed, it was a night to remember.Stella and PochJada and Norman

Weight Equipment
2008-05-26 05:03:00
For some time I've gone to the gym to do some exercises which I thought would do me good. I still do think that way but my schedule wouldn't permit me to, at least for the past few weeks. I tried the weight equipment - the strength system which works to tone one's back and shoulders and also muscles. I remembered telling one of my friends that I needed to gain weight, not by gaining more fats but muscles. He said that he thought I look toned just fine. Hmm... I thought really? But I'm underweight.

THANKFUL THURSDAY
2008-05-22 04:47:00
Last night I was in bed reflecting on how God has truly been good to me. I couldn't utter any other words but "thank you, Lord". For many months and even years that I have been suffering, I've asked God many times if He had forgotten me already. I felt more like it was hell on earth and by that I meant "hellest" of hell if there's such a word. Yes, it was that bad. I even remembered telling God that death was such a welcome breeze, please come and take me now.And now, I'm experiencing such favor and blessing I've never had any taste of before. And in spite of the mountains still in front of me, I have an unspeakable joy that I know came from God. I'm still waiting for my breakthrough to come. For some of you who have been with me in my life's journey know what I'm waiting for. I know in my heart, by faith, that my miracle is on its way. In the mean time, I'd like to savor the joy and peace God has given me. I'm really grateful. Thank you, Jesus.Delight yourself...

POST MOTHER'S DAY CELEBRATION
2008-05-20 04:52:00
My family had a post Mother's Day celebration last Saturday. I was with my mom and dad, my sister, my nephews and the two nannies. We all went to the Manila Ocean Park in the morning.Part of it was still under construction and my favorite - the shark - wasn't as big as I expected it to be... yet. Oh, and I was able to touch a live starfish. It was a first. When MOP is completed, this will house the first and largest aquarium facility in the Philippines and is the most advanced ocean parks in Asia ? with an area larger than the famous Sentosa oceanarium in Singapore.After lunch, we checked in at the Diamond Hotel Philippines and spent the night at one of its Executive Suites. I have my boss to thank for that, he gave me a Gift Certificate and promised to give me 10 more once my husband comes home. Wow! The room we occupied has a breathtaking view of Manila Bay and the complimentary buffet breakfast at its Palm Cafe Restaurant was superb.On our way home, my mom asked me to go...

Walk In Tubs
2008-05-19 07:35:00
I love bathing in tubs once in a while with my favorite lavender scent bubble bath and bath salt, but I only stay in it a few minutes to relax and not until my fingers are all pruned up. For some, bathing in tubs is a lifestyle, it's good news that there is now what you call walk in tubs with safety features like a door and a built in chair for those who suffer from limited mobility. Now, bathing can be fun and a therapeutic session all together.

Herbal Acne Treatment
2008-05-14 05:56:00
While I was accomplishing the form I was told to fill up in my new office, one of the HR staff approached me and I guess he was trying to strike a conversation with me. He said that I have such nice flawless skin. I said thank you and smiled. He continued by saying that he used to have acne all over his face. He said it was so ugly then. I told him that I heard some herbal acne treatment that does well on treating this kind of problem skin, but of course it's still best to consult a professional before self medicating. Better safe than sorry.

DUMPSTER

Cartoonist's Comment: Don't let bad thoughts and feelings weigh you down. Dump them in the trash bin of forgiveness, and go on with your life.This is what I've been doing lately - some sort of a cleansing process. Anything that's weighing me down, I release to God. It feels a lot better to obey our Lord. You should try it. ?

PEACE
2008-05-12 09:20:00
I can't explain the peace in my heart in spite of all the problems I'm facing. I can only sit back and be grateful to my Lord Jesus for it... The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house,' says the LORD Almighty. 'And in this place I will grant peace,' declares the LORD Almighty." Haggai 2:9Thank you, Lord, for this promise.

Computer Rental
2008-05-12 06:09:00
My nephew Andre and his mom left for Singapore last Saturday and they'd be staying there for a month to be with my brother. Looking back, it was a good business decision when my brother chose to go abroad instead of continuing his computer rental business back here. It was doing well then but his job offer in Singapore was better. I thank God for what my brother has accomplished.By the way, Andre loves Superman and was proud to pose having the same shirt color as his super hero.

Drug Rehab
2008-05-12 05:20:00
I'm curious. There are a lot of people who are drug addicts - old and young people alike. Can they really stop this habit on their own or do they really need the help of others? What does a drug rehab facility do to help these people? I wonder how difficult is difficult life is for these drug dependent folks. I know they enjoy the high these drugs give but how about the pain, do they enjoy it too?May they find their freedom.

Inflatable Boats
2008-05-06 08:05:00
I've seen many but never rode any of those inflatable boats I've seen. Why? Didn't have the chance to and it's scary, but I'd love to try. I've also seen a lot of these on T.V. during rescue scenes because inflatable boats are more easily carried along. Oh, I remembered I did ride one when I was a kid, at the pool. =D

Computer Memory
2008-05-05 08:51:00
I'm pleased with my computer right now because it's a lot faster than what I had in my previous office. Three things - it's probably because there's not much files in it OR it has a much bigger computer memory or probably both. It doesn't really matter, what matters is I can work faster and much easier because of the speed of my computer. Thank God!

Fiberglass Columns

There are houses here in some exclusive villages that really look so grand. Beautiful architecture. Uses fiberglass columns which are known for its classical beauty and timeless appeal. These houses are usually owned by Foreign Ambassadors and other rich, well known people. Imagine what God has... much more. Imagine where He lives... Imagine where we'll be staying when we get to heaven... I'm in awe.

THANKFUL THURSDAY
2008-05-02 03:37:00
Okay, I got my new phone the other day but I found out that it was defective. So I had to call the cell phone company that issued me the phone to replace it. They agreed only later they called back to inform me that they didn't have an available unit of the same model and asked if I wanted a different brand. I said no, not unless they'd replace it with an iPhone. Yeah, I know, I was being a bit difficult, but I was nice really. They promised to do eveything they can to find me a replacement for my N95 and would get back to me as soon as possible. I guess that's settled. Anyway, tomorrow would be a whole new day for me because I'd be in a new office, my own office space, my own room actually. There still has a lot of work to do but it's alright. Oh, did I tell you that I have four plants at my balcony? One pot is a horsetail bamboo and the three others are from the family of carnation. I don't know what they're called. I'll take a picture of them later on. I wanted a pup or a...

Ram

My old computer in the office was almost always acting up everytime I have to do something really important. It causes my stress in the office most of the time. Imagine, I just need to open a file or print something or sometimes I need to look up some information at the Internet, oh gosh, it's like taking me years to finish what I'm doing. It eats up my time! My officemate said I have to buy additional ram for this thing. Grrr! Well, here's the good news! I no longer need to use that old stinking computer. I have a new office with a faster computer to do my job. God really knows what I need and gives me even more than I expect.

Isn't God awesome?!For giving me a chance to work in one of the government offices here and at the same time still receive an allowance monthly from my current job.

Moving Boxes
2008-04-23 14:24:00
When I was a child, every time my family would move to a different city, my mom would pack all our stuff neatly in moving boxes. She'd even label them all. My mom is good at packing things, so is my sister. I guess I am too but not as good as them. I think boxes are great, but I prefer plastic crates. I like it better when I see my stuff inside.

CELEBRATE GOD'S HEALING
2008-04-20 13:13:00
Yesterday's message at church spoke to my heart and I'm sure to a lot of others too. As Christians, we don't always understand everything that's happening in our lives. And we always try to find some explanations to it instead of just trusting God . I was guilty of that and I guess I still do sometimes. I'll give you one personal example. Both my husband and I are Christians and I'm sure that it was God who brought us together. If so, why then are we in this pit? Why am I experiencing such pain? Did I do something really bad that God is punishing me now? Or is my husband in some sort of a curse because of his family? The answer is NO!Pastor Rico said this... "It's not the REASON but the PURPOSE." It's not because God is mad at us that we're going through this. That's not the reason. Maybe He's also trying to teach us patience and total trust in God Almighty. But more than anything else, He allowed us to go through this road because God wants to deliver us and...

For some of you, you probably already know how much I hate moving. It's just so stressful. I tend to lose some of my stuff along the way, some of my things get scratched, etc. After moving in, I get stressed again unpacking my stuff and arranging them. ohhh! All my life, I only once experienced moving with the help of movers. Normally here it's just with the assistance of family and friends. One thing is a must though, you should hire movers that you trust! My youngest brother, when he and his family moves to their new house, he mentioned getting the New York Moving Company . I don't know which one and I'm not familiar with that but I'm sure my brother knows better. =D

Lighting Fixtures

My broker and I had a chit chat last week. My contract is expiring next month and she wanted to show me a different unit just in case I want to move to a bigger one. I'm also considering that idea but then God specifically told me to stay put. Anyway, did I tell you that Jen moved to a new unit last week? Well, hers is bigger than where I'm staying right now but I have far better lighting fixtures and wall paint than hers. She said so herself. My unit was new when I moved in. I think with her unit she's the fourth or fifth or even sixth tenant to have lived there. It didn't matter to her much but for me it does. God knows me very well to have lead me to get this unit. Isn't He amazing?
