A Different Christmas 2011

Christmas is one of the most celebrated Holidays in the Philippines and in our family. When my grandparent's were still alive (mom's side), our family and my uncle's (mom's younger brother) family gather in my grandparent's house on Christmas eve. We have games, prayers, gift giving, lots of food and laughter :)

When my grandparents' died only our family and my uncle's celebrate Christmas together. Sometimes they come here in our house and there are times when we celebrate it in their house too.

This Christmas is different and has a lot of firsts.

First Christmas that I'm married :)
First Christmas that my husband spent Christmas with us at home
First Christmas that we didn't wake up at 12 mn
First Christmas that we have no noche buena
First Christmas not spent with my uncle's family
First Christmas that I received cash haha

December 25 was also a great day! It was our Church Christmas Party and we had so much fun! We won 2nd place in our presentation :D We also had games and gift giving.

The Young Pro planned to have dinner at the Plaza since we had our cash prize to spend ;) We took a lot of pictures that night, played games on the street, shared a lot of laughter and love!

It was a great night!!


Although this Christmas is different, it was still one of the most enjoyable and unforgettable.

Thank You God for sending Jesus to this Earth. Thank you for your unconditional love and your grace. I pray that we will always share your love to others :)

World Teacher's Day

a post for my mom..

You teach not just inside the classroom and not just by the book but you teach by example..you help your students not just to be able to answer a quarterly exam but you teach them lessons they won't forget even when hurdled with life's tests.

I hear your students say, you're their best friend, their nanay, their favorite teacher, "ang pinaka mabuot nga maestra"..and I always feel a deep joy knowing that my mom is everybody's favorite, and I am so proud to be your daughter! :)

I pray that God will continue to bless you for your generosity. You are a blessing not just to your students but to everyone who in one way or another has learned something from you that made them a better person.

Happy world teacher's day ma!iluvU :)

today and forever


"So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate."

May 25, 2011 is a very special day for me..it is the day that God set for me to be one with the person I love. Together with my family we all thanked God for this wonderful blessing.

God has been so good to our relationship and we will continue to trust Him to take care of our love for each other, to guide us in our every way, to stregthen us when storms come, to bind us with unconditional love and to let our relationship be a blessing to others and glorify Him.

I am excited for what God has prepared for me and my partner, I know we will have a great journey together..the three of us :)

Humility

If you are struggling with Pride, God's word will teach you about humility.

Being humble may be the hardest virtue a man has to practice. It is man's nature to think of himself first before thinking about others. Sometimes it is what causes conflicts in most relationships, business, friendships, families and a lot more. Why do men think of themselves highly than anybody else? Why do we always want to be above others, when even God humbled himself and become one of us?

I may not know the answer to these questions, but I want to thank God that through time He has taught me how to be humble. It was painful, it was hard, and sometimes I'm tempted to think of myself often before others. But God's word keeps on reminding me that I should be humble.

It is ok to admit our mistakes, it is a stepping stone to become a better person.
It is important to say sorry and mean it, this is one way to exercise humility.
Being too concerned of how you feel is being selfish, remember others have feelings also.

Here are some of quotes I want to share with you.

Humility does not mean thinking less of yourself than of other people, nor does it mean having a low opinion of your own gifts. It means freedom from thinking about yourself at all. ~William Temple

What kills a skunk is the publicity it gives itself. ~Abraham Lincoln

True merit, like a river, the deeper it is, the less noise it makes. ~Edward Frederick Halifax

It is far more impressive when others discover your good qualities without your help. ~Author Unknown

Nobody stands taller than those willing to stand corrected. ~William Safire

Romans 12:3
For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you.

Vday!! love love love :)

Sunday morning, Valentine's day..I'm excited to celebrate the day with the One who loves me more than anybody else. He always takes care of me, He is my joy, my comforter, my life. So I first spent the day praising Him and thanking Him for all blessings He has given me.

As I was pondering about the importance of heart's day, I realized that God has a deep and great love for us all. I couldn't count the wrong things I've done, I couldn't imagine the sins I have committed and will still commit in all my life..but what I saw is God's loving arms ready to embrace me no matter how big my mistakes are. I felt God's great love and I know I am never alone..and I also have to share this wonderful opportunity to others. For them to know deep in their hearts that there is someone, someone greater than anything else, who will love them unconditionally.

Thank you God for your love for me ♥ iloveyou..

Priorities - Balance - Life

"Imagine life is a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them - Work, Family, Health, Friends and Spirit and you're keeping all of these in the Air.

You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back.

But the other four Balls - Family, Health, Friends and Spirit - are made of glass. If you drop one of these; they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for it."


WORK EFFICIENTLY DURING OFFICE HOURS AND LEAVE ON TIME. GIVE THE REQUIRED TIME TO YOUR FAMILY, FRIENDS & HAVE PROPER REST.

-this is the 30 min speech of Coca Cola's CEO, Bryan Dyson.
