Super fast LO's

Last month, my mom came to sg and visit us for 4 days together with my sister. We had great time visiting few places here in Singapore....We also had a chance to introduced her and my sis to our church bro. and sis. in CHRIST.

Since she had to stay 12hrs. for stopover in sg, I made her an 8x8 album with 40 pages slot with all those photos taken from our trip to UK last year together with her vacation in philippines and the short trip in SG.

Sis. I, help us to carry the album to London and that was my gift for my mom's bday in October.
Thank GOD she had the patience to carry the bag I know it was pretty heavy.......hehehe...I told her I will pay her in heaven.....

Many of them ask me how many days before I completed the album.....I was also surprised that I could do it that fast....the album with 40pages was completed in 2 nights.
I started to construct, cut photos, cut papers for LO on the first night that was thursday...i slept about 1 or 2am...hd to work on friday and after the office hrs. i started again at 9pm till 2am, patch, cut and paste...sat. morning had to prepare food for vbs and during my free time i manage to write all my journals on each pages....until I reached the location were we held the vbs....hehehe.....i thought i lost touch with scrapping......well....nde pala.....thank GOD my creativity is still intact......hahahah...

but, sad to say...i didn't had the chance to take the photos of the LO's.....maybe next time when I see the album again....

my mom and my sis was very happy to see the album.........

Busy

Busy days,
Lately there are too many issues here and there, specially sa work really toxic.
Minsan parang sasabog na ang utak ko sa kakaisip ng solution sa problema ng company at nga mga kasama. But I guess, I was employed to settle problems…hehehe…..
Things I missed this days….
· Eating burger king or mcdonald with angel. Actually I don’t like burgers, but few years back every sat. we had time to chit chat while taking breakfast together.
· Scrapping- tons of pictures to scrap but I had no time to sit and think..
· Window shopping- I used to have at least 2 to 3 times a month
· Chit chat with my old friends- well this one it is because they maybe also busy
· Dinner outside only with hubby- well when was the last time we had dinner together? If I am not wrong it was last year…too busy with our commitments.
Well, today I missed the parents meeting…sad to say the meeting that was called by my colleague was too soon and urgent and it leaves me no choice because my boss is also taking leave.
Hubby has relay the message and feedbacks from Angel teachers and I got teary eyes after his message.
1. There was a skit presentation last week and Angel was the narrator. At first I was also surprised because I know that she is very shy and seldom perform loud oral reading with us. She likes silent reading but very vocal in asking question. So when she was selected it wasn’t a doubt but I am worried that she would not do it. But with God’s grace and blessing of wisdom showered upon her, she deliver the whole skit confidently and without a mistake….yes!!thank GOD she has develop that kind of confidence.
2. Secondly, academically she was doing well for the last 2 semester and very obedient. The only thing is, sometimes she is worried to make mistakes and becoming perfectionist. But overall she’s leading comparing to the rest of students on her level.
3. The teacher was so touched with her affection and the appreciation she had shown towards them. One of the teacher was leaving, but before that she is the one who guided Angel and preparing her lunch during those times that she need to stay till 3pm. Angel wrote a thank you card and gave it to her with a note of appreciation and thanking her for being patience on her.

Sayang I missed this meeting……..due to my commitment at work…..hope my daughter would understand that in future..

At home she also makes lots of card and notes to us, akala ko sa haus lang sya ganyan. Last week, she made a card for our maid, very touching kasi nga thankful daw sya na nandyan un maid namin to look after her. Siguro mana…hahahaha…..kasi lagi nya kong nakikita gumagawa ng card..and sometimes those things I want her to remember like reminder I always wrote it and paste on her office.(that’s her table).

Well, sari-saring kwento……..

cookies, Cupcakes, baskets etc

Cookies, cupcakes, baskets and more........lately, i baked lots of cupcakes trying to make the perfect icing. It was fun, specially with my daughter helping me plus the bonding time it was really great and stress relieving. some of this cakes were decorated by her and it was her own idea...

Last month I had a chance to be part of the art class in our church during school holiday, i thought it would be disaster because it was my first time to host that kind of big crowd plus small little hands. but surprisingly, it turned out Good, not perfect but it was good with the help of our sisters, brothers in church....heheh...even our Pastor helped the kids to built their cookie basket. they went home happy.

i also had baked for a friend and the latest one was for jireh. hope he likes the small yellow cupcakes decorated with chocolate chips and gummy candies plus marsmallows.

Count your blessings!

Another year is going to end and this is the best time to looked back and count all the blessings that we had this year.

Time flies…whew…that’s pretty sure, but are we thankful of what has GOD done to us?

Many people would only want to know how much money does the company deposit into their account? Or how many gifts they had received?

But for me, I have many blessings this year, not just material that can fade but the encouragement, love and support of those people whom help us to overcome that time of our need. God knows your heart and I am really thankful for their kind heart.
The count down will start tomorrow……

London Vacation- take two

It's been a week since we arrived in London for another vacation at the same time for another purpose. We arrived at Heathrow airport 20minutes earlier than the ETA arrival. The weather supposed to be hot because it is summer time but somehow the weather was cooling. Oh no.....we didn't bring any jacket and our luggage was full of summer clothing...anyway, we arrived at my mom's house at 9pm....we are all very tired and with jetlag.

the first night was good with 16 degrees C temperature.

the following day was sunday, and we're all off to go to attend the 11am service in Metropolitan Tabernacle which is also known as Spurgeons Church, but unfortunately there was a heavy traffic and we would not able to reach there before 11am. So, the plan was change and we moved to Westminster, since it was Jing first time to London. We visited the Big Ben and the Londn eye. Took some shot and proceed to the Tower Bridge. Had our lunch near the Tower of London then since we felt very cold, we decided to see the Tower Bridge and bought the ticket to see inside. We didn't had the chance to see this place during last year visit.

The engine room was fantastic, imagine in those days were the technology wasn't that advanced the engineer whom designed the tower were so intelligent and blessed with that kind of powerful mind, Thank GOD for that talent and we are able to see this beautiful place.

This week, we had full activities, we visited the palaces, another round for Natural history museum and the science museum where we had watched the IMAX for outer space and the Deep sea. Angel was very happy and blessed to had this opportunity and experienced to see these wonderful places.

Thursday, we visited the Windsor castle, Stonehenge and the Bath Abbey. The tour was very good and I like the most was the Windsor castle. Angel had asked her daddy"

Angel: wow all the things and even the gates are pure gold, daddy is GOD also rich?
Dad: of course in the Bible, GOD has promise that even the road and the mansion that HE prepared for us are made of GOLD>>>

I love that moment because in every place and experiences she has, she always thank GOD and us for these blessings.

Friday, was tiring but not boring, we went to see the Hampton Court, one of the palaces here in London. The place was quite far but it was not crowded so we enjoyed the tour and time we spent there. I love the garden and the history behind all the happenings on that palace.

Saturday, we spent whole day in Legoland Windsor. The place was huge and we didn't had chance to ride all the rides and activities. But, the first pit stop was enjoyable, the viking rides really rock the boat and we were wet due to the spurting waters from the top. Funny thing was, when we almost reach to the place where there's a fountain and spraying the water, mama open the big umbrella....hehehe...we were the only one who bring umbrella and cover us not to get wet....

Angel was so brave when we took the jungle coaster ride. it was comparable to the sky loop in Enchanted kingdom...but when we're inside and passed thru the high loop she felt scared and called me....so to calmed her down we just said that was GOOD!!! and she immediately recovered.

Happiest moment....but sad when we reach home because she had high fever.

to be cont.....

Passport to heaven

Friday afternoon, i had meeting with one of our CM. THough I was really disappointed with the response, we still proceed for the discussion and ended after an hour. Then, the guy ask me, are you a christian right? then, of course I replied YES!! and why????

He asked me if i have 5 mins to listen to his story, though I am really very busy I gave him a chance....It was the story of the guys who has been friends for quite sometime, one being a good guy and ther other was bad guy. He started to fold the paper and tear one by one as the story goes. BTW the paper was the passport to heaven that was given by the good guy to the bad guy. After he tear it was group into two and the outcome was word of HELL and the sign of Cross. He said that Jesus CHRIST died on the cross for the christians, and this is where I corrected him according to the BIBLE, Jesus CHRIST died on the cross to save the soul of the First Man who was created till the last person who will be born.

I had the chance to share with him the way of salvation from the beginning to revelation. Then suddenly, I had this feeling that I am on fire again to share the gospel.

I felt really down lately due to the increasing turnover from our department. early this year when one of our coleague resigned and just after 2 months for the replacement and he also decided to quit. Sigggghhhhhh.....then just last friday I received the info that another colleague requested for a lateral transfer to another department.........hayyyyyyyy....

Ang hindi ko naman maintindihan e kung bakit di man lang natitinag ang aming amo at nagpapasalamat pa......palibhasa di sya nahihirapan mag train ng tao....

But, heheheh...the store haven't finish....after my conversation with the guy who share the passport to heaven I realize one thing, sharing may not happen only from our company but I could also reach out in other area.......yeheyyyy... thank GOD for that encouragement.......

Reward

Last Saturday we went to Carrefour and purchased the set of roller blades and tables for our daughter. As daddy was doing the assembly the little girl was so excited to use the table. She took all her PACES and arrange the nicely, gather some old books that she likes to read and the pencil case. We’re laughing as she run to take all those things and quickly place inside the cabinet. And when the table was set she quickly told her Dad “thank you Daddy for buying me this table, I love you”. Wow, so sweet.

Sunday night, we also let her tried the roller blades and fixed all the safety gears for her head, knees and elbows, there was one more gear that I placed on her buttocks to protect her when she fall…hahaha…she do not want to wear kasi we are all laughing as she looked like the duck with flabby buttocks…later she was convinced to wear.

We let her walked and glide for about 12 rounds and went up home after an hour. As she was resting, I asked if she was happy for the blessings and reward, and explained that she got it because of the good results on her grades for the 1st half of school year. Then I asked her, if the 2nd half is better than the first what kind of reward she wanted to receive?

The answer was” I want a baby sister or a baby brother” hwaaaa…..that was something I could not buy or produced without the blessing from GOD….
But we could start praying….six months still long enough to meet the request….and need to work hard…….

Thank God that my little lady is growing with mature mind and she's really looking forward to have siblings.....

Better pray harder and fast for this little request....
