Father's Day




happy father's day to my Honey!

He's a good father to my daughter
He's a loving and thoughtful husband
He stand as a brother and a father to my in-laws
He's patient enough to teach my daughter without raising his husky and low base voice...hehehe...
He makes tea for me every night and early in the morning
He teach Angel how to play piano and patiently brought her to music class.

15th June, we went to Sapphire and brought our daughter for swimming and at the same time invited one of our family friends to join us, that was after the Sunday service. I baked creamy cheese cake for Father's day celebration and everybody who likes cheese, like it.....Thank God that the cake was successful....hehehe...though it was the easiest cake i've ever made...

we also cooked salmon pasta and prepared ceasar's salad and juice for dinner and brought them all to our small gathering... the kids like the pasta and they were all hungry after jumping up and down to the pool...

it was a meaningful Sunday and Father's day event although hubby felt really sleepy that afternoon...

Farewell Party


Last Friday, my family and 3 other n@wsg friends had bbq party and I noticed that, not only the adult enjoyed the bonding even our kids. We met because one of our friend’s family is leaving for good and moving to OZ. The food was great, we had the delicious cheese cupcake, pork bbq, salmon and cod skewers, prawn, dessert like pichi-pichi, kutsinta, leche plan and fish ball. We had a delightful dinner followed by never ending chit chat. We almost forgot the time, and leave our friends house at 1am.

We felt sad and incomplete as our group became lesser and lesser. Three (3) of them migrate to US and OZ…….but then that’s life….friends come and go but they leave footprints in our life…..

Latest happenings

Been busy lately, I had too many things to write and blog but run out of time.

Two weeks ago was the VBS week and only had one day to help up due to work. As usual the favorite request from kids was our famous Filipino dish “sopas”. They like the creamy macaroni with a plenty of chicken and vegetables. At the same time the sopas was made partner with cheese cake. The weather was drizzling at first but when the kiddo was up to play the game, GOD hear our prayers and gave us sunshine at 4pm.
Got to rushed for my daughter piano lesson afterwards.

The most amazing thing about the VBS was the children who was happily learning the WORD of GOD and enjoying the games. We were thankful for the help of all the Teacher’s and member who contributed to the event.

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.
