A Day at East Coast Park

Latest LO's

Here's my latest creation......
It took months to publish them due to tight schedule.....

One of my favorite is the LO title Long Hair for Angel. I had the hard time fixing the flower ribbon and later decided to saw them instead of using brads to secure. I am happy with the results.

More to come as I am finishing my Vacation Album "London"......

Thanks for viewing....

Chinese Art painting



Angel joined the Chinese Art painting organize by HLC. At first, I thought it will very difficult kasi whenever she had Chinese homework eh halos ayaw nya gawin, medyo mahirap rin kasi at dahil left handed sya.

Two weeks na sya nag-aattend at happy naman ako sa kanyang art. One of our brethren told us that she wanted to quit and felt nervous when her shirt got stain, but then after the second cyle everything was fine.

She drawn a beautiful flower and vase with notes below I love You Mommy. When she came back home, very excited sya ipinakita sa kin yun gift daw nya. Thankful talaga ko na she have grown so fast and with this kind of achievements. Simple lang naman yun drawing pero flattered ako at appreciative kasi laging I love mommy ang sinusulat. Minsan tuloy sabi ko sa kanya dapat I love daddy rin....she just smile and said next time I will draw for Daddy.

I am planning to frame the painting and print her pictures and journal some words...hopefully this week....

Fruitful message



We had the fruitful events yesterday to celebrate Mother’s Day.
We were blessed with the message from the Sunday school service as well as the Worship Service. Some of us felt like in the frying pan because of guilt and some could be grateful for the wake up message. The passage was taken from the book of Proverbs 31:10.

The Father's and mens from our church has presented a special no. Rejoice in the Lord, this song is really meaningful....

Suddenly, I look back 5 years ago how was my routine as a wife and a mother.
I used to wake up at 5.30am to prepare my husband to work, cook breakfast and then prepare myself. It was all changed when I got pregnant and deliver our little girl. But then, whenever we had activities outside I had to make sure that they were all prepared first before I start to take care of myself. As years goes by, I still prepared for hubby and our little girl start to prepare by herself choosing the best set of clothing and shoes, and things got lighter in terms of house chores. But then, there’s one message that was very touchy and delicate regarding a mother. 1.) God made us mother and therefore we have to take care the whole family, train the children and make sure everything is OK….I think I fulfilled that with God’s guidance and help. 2.) We are supposed to be at home…hmmm….this thing, I failed because I am a working mom and I had other responsibilities to take care of….planning to be in future….and I need to learn to TRUST him more…..because sometimes we think we cannot ,make it but actually it is not true, thru God’s grace everything is possible.

After the message we had fruitful fellowship during lunch in the Church. I prepared Buko pandan, and some of us brought fruit salad, pumpkin cake, fruits, ice cream and there are lots of food. I felt bloated and too heavy. We went to the embassy after lunch to pick-up the documents and had dinner outside. My daughter gave me a card with a message, and that was the 4th she made for me as present for Mother’s Day.

I am grateful for all the blessings HE bestow upon us and Thank God for giving me this wonderful family.

Happy Mother's Day






Happy Mother's Day to all Mommies, who has been working very hard to take care of the family.

I was on leave yesterday to settle something but unfortunately the systems of our embassy here in SG is not that flexible to help people....:(

Anyway, I made my day meaningful and fruitful kaya nag-scrap na lang ako for Mother's Day gift.

I made total of 20pcs. fridge magnets using stamping techniques and patch them with Bible verses. Medyo matagal na rin kasing di ako nakapag-scrap kaya, first few trials the result was not that good. I made them for this coming Sunday as a Gift for all the Mother’s in our Church who will attend the service. Last year, I made bookmark for them…

So every time they will turn to get something from their fridge there’s a encouraging WORD from GOD which can strengthen and encourage them.

Sa lahat ng mga mommy binabati ko po kayo!!!

Goodbye Friend

So many things happened last month, good, bad and sad moments….that also shocked most of us when one of our friend died suddenly without any sickness…. When I heard that news my tears burst and my heart breaks although that person was not in contact with us for quite sometime. He was joyfully taking his breakfast with colleagues and all of a sudden passed out with no reason. After few minutes of resuscitation to revive him before he even reach the hospital he was pronounce dead. What a sad news to lost a good friend.

He was actually my supplier but whenever we had technical problems, he’s just one call away….I think we are all recovered from the incident but the family of 3 who lost their dear father still in grieved and, I saw their pain. That week I am so affected, but it also shown another perspective that GOD is in control. Life is very short, we are given a chance to enjoy and live every single time to the fullest with GOD’s grace and mercy. Another thing that makes me sad was the fact that he was not saved. I can’t remember whether I had the chance to share the gospel to him but now it’s too late.

I remember after we visited his wake, the other friend asked me why do Christians don’t feel sad when somebody passed away? Here was my reply: We feel sad because we lost a friend but if that person is saved we feel happy for him because at long last the much awaited time to see the LORD and Saviour Jesus Christ has come. And that’s our future direction. 1 Thessalonians 2:19-20 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming? For ye are our glory and joy.
We need to make our life meaningful and make sure that we treat a normal day as our last day. Only GOD knows when we will stop breathing, for my friend I am so sorry that he was taken that fast, but I know GOD has he’s reason.
