Relentless

This picture was taken during the youth mission camp, honestly it was very tiring for me and my husband but I am humbled by his relentless passion in serving the Lord through music, he led the worship for 4 days straight for all morning and afternoon sessions but he did not complain a bit.

When we got back to Manila, we immediately went back to work, no time to rest for both of us, I grumbled for not being able to at least rest but he did not. And guess what? He bought me my very own mini Ipad as his wedding anniversary gift. I was surprised and I was happy. I am so thankful I have the  kindest husband ever.

Now I wish I could also give him a gift, maybe something from dean guitars or something that he needs for his recording studio. Saving up for that now. Will make sure he'll be surprise also.

 

In ear monitors

First post of my husband :)

"I work as a musician in our church. my job is to study and learn new songs from other church like Hillsong, Planetshakers and many christian band from different part of the  world. its good to play along with their tracks. using my headphone. one time i made a backing track from one of the Planetshakers song in our worship service. while playing along, it's hard for my brother to catch up the beat because we don't have monitor in front so we could hear the backing track clearly, so what did I let my brother used my earphone so he can go with beat. I notice from concerts I watched, the musicians or singers wear in ear monitors so that they can hear themselves and the other musicians clearly without the speaker monitor.

I wish we could have one for our church someday. "

Major CHANGE

Hello everyone! It's been a while since my last decent update on what's going on in our lives and I have so many things to post, have to remember to make separate blog post for Christmas and New year celebration and of course or gift giving activity in Aurora.

But for now, I'm letting you all know that a major change in our life is coming in the next few months. We were told early of this month that the building where we live (which happens to be a very old building owned by our company) will now be taken down and then they will rebuild a new one. That means, we have to vacate the place and we were given at least 6 months to look for another place to live.

So these days, we were in the hunt again for a new place, which made my husband  excited because finally in he is putting up his home music studio soon in this new place. Now, he is slowly completing his stuff, he bought new computer last December specifically designed for recording and also his musical instrument accessories, hopefully this month he'll be able to buy the audio interface.

I know, it will be totally different and new again for us, moving is not easy, packing and unpacking things is crazy and pure headache but I try to be as excited as my husband, change is inevitable and we have to embrace it whether we like it or not.

The only major concern for me now is to be able to find that perfect place for us, one that suits our needs and of course suits our budget.

New year, new place, new beginnings :)

New Earpiece for Mom

My mom is happy because my sisters got her a new hearing aid. A mother's day gift for her. She has been having suffering for hearing loss since the accident and she just can't believe how loud and clear she can hear now. She just need to use it too often so she can get used to it. I think she's not comfortable with the feeling that there is something plug into your ear at all times.

And I understand her very because I myself is not fond of earpiece or headphones too. I easily get irritated with it and the longest I can have those in my ears are 5 to 10 minutes maximum.

The exact opposite of my husband,   he owns 3 or four headphones.Yes, he has headphone extension cable too. I often chide him about it asking how many ears does he have ba to own such :) but he will just smile.

When we travel and he's not in the driver's seat, he always have that, when we're home and he is in front of his laptop working on something he always have that plugged in his ears. I think his being a musician has something do do with it. I remember one Christmas, our gift for our eldest nephews are all headphones :)

Anyways, I am happy for  Mom, I just hope she wear it often. It must be hard not being able to hear clearly.

Enjoying life

It's rainy Saturday here, actually stormy but that didn't stop us from going out of town to visit a friend who had miscarriage which is sad because she didn't know that she is pregnant. I can't imagine how painful it is but I'm sure it does hurt.
 
But for sure, God has better plans for them and that God knows what He's doing.

Guess what? we're now going to 7th year of being married and I noticed it is now less painful when I get to talk about pregnancies and babies. Unlike before that I get too emotional about it. It doesn't mean though that I am okay now not having one I still hope and pray that we will be granted one (by any means would be okay-adopted or by birth)

For now, I will just do what we do, keep on living, keep on enjoying a childless married life, travel to places if we can and last but not the least enjoy the recording session with my husband's band mates which will resume tomorrow evening. I'm sure at the end of the recording we will all gain more knowledge about music and stuff like electro-voice microphones.

I hope you are all enjoying your life too, whatever it is throwing you at the moment. And I leave you my one liner favorite quote "this too shall pass".

Have a nice weekend!!
