How committed are you to health and fitness?

Hay, I failed so miserably in this aspect of life and of course I only have myself to blame. Last year, hubby encouraged me to move more so we walked every morning around neighboorhood but we stopped for no reason at all, at the last part of the year, me and my friend enrolled in a gym but after a month we also stopped, my reason? I am tired na...

But it has been my ambition to live a healthy lifestyle, There are some changes that I have succesfully made like switching from ordinary oil to canola or soya oil, I heard kasi that is more healthy eh, we also got rid of unhealthy fats in our foods. But still I know I need a regular exercise.

But yeah, I should really committ my self into it, not just want it.

Thanks jan for the reminder!

All things are possible

It was a busy monday for me.I would like to say sorry to all the tags sender, much as I want to do them today but I have no time, but of course I will still be doing them tonight, will bring them home as my assignment and if our internet connection at home is ok na i'll be posting them also tonight if not tommorrow na lang.It's a busy monday but a great one.. Finally, the new printer arrived today, much better and faster than my old one. It's been a week since that old printer gave up and I'm thankful I have this new one now. And one thing more, I got a new bag from my other boss, a pasalubong. he just came from the states kasi.

Lam nyo, I was greatly inspired by the message yesterday sa church service. And while we were singing “All things are possible” I was holding my tummy and crying, I was telling God na..oo nga Lord, nothing is impossible for you..that only you can open and close a women’s womb. Tapos after the service, I asked hubby if he got the same message and he said yes. I’m so sure God van give us a child in His own perfect time.

I am not losing hope..in fact I just gained more yesterday.

Are you a shopaholic?

Do you like to shop? Do you do it as your hobby? Yes, I think you can if you’re super rich. I heard some celebrities do make it their past time. How I wish I could do it to but right now I am not in a very good condition so I seldom go shopping as a matter of fact I only go to grocery or to the mall when I really have to buy something that I need.

And I am always always on the look out for sale because I know I can save a lot from it. One good buy I got from shopping during sales season was my wedding shoes. It was originally price at more than a thousand peso but I got it for only 300 pesos, so you see I saved more than 700 hundred pesos. That’s why I love every kind of sales, week end sale, closing sale, inventory sale, clearance sale and many more.

And if you’re looking around for savings on shopping even when you’re sitting right there in front of your computer you can do so. cyber monday is the site to visit, here you can see a lot of discounted items and a lot of good deals. Like for instance, Jo-ann.com offers free shipping for $35 and above purchase. That’s nice.

Cyber Monday has a wide collection of stores and stuff to choose from. So if you don’t wanna end up cramming for your holiday shopping come December why not start doing it now? I had a hard time last year so I hope I won't do it again this year. I ended up giving gifts after Christmas..me bad, but of course it's better late than never. This time though I am gonna shop early and that means I have to save and save so I can start buying gifts before the holiday rush.

another wedding memory

Siobhan, Karin and Rosie are from England, they are youth missionaries and were here in Manila during our wedding, they made our wedding even more memorable. It's funny because our wedding was in pure tagalog (we had filipiniana as our theme) and I know they barely understood the ceremony and all but they were crying too..they said after a while that it's a very beautiful wedding and that they felt the love and the presence of the Lord in the air. It was kinda unforgettable for them too because it was thier first time to witness a filipino wedding and these girls were responsible too for my bridal shower that was so fuuunnn!!! I love you guys and we miss you so much.

Karin is coming over next month for Carmel's wedding too.

project Runway

Last night I chanced upon “project runway” at ETC, it’s a reality show, I believe the contestants are amateur fashion designers but they are good. “Christian” a 21 year old designer won the last challenge last night and I so agree with the judges, his creation is a piece of art.

I really am not into fashion, but watching the show, you can’t help but be amazed on how these people create something so beautiful out of their imagination. I wonder if they really are graduates of fashion schools or is it just a plain talent.

Fashion careers are so in today, actually my boss daughter is taking up one now. I don’t know if it’s an expensive course because I notice that most of the students who took fashion as their profession are rich kids or maybe I am wrong.

I am just wondering though, Do we have enough fashion jobs in the country today? I guess fashion schools are not as popular as cooking schools here or maybe I was wrong.

A worship experience with Tim Hughes

Hubby and I went to Tim Hughes (Worship central) last Friday. It was held at the very very new “The Tent" at Meralco Avenue,Pasig City. They were the first to use the place actually.

We registered the whole worship team pero sad na kami lang ni hubby ang nakapunta, I said, sayang if he will not go, this happen only once in a lifetime and to top it all free admission pa.

Know what he said after the concert? “good thing I decided to go. It’s worth it.” He was so blessed and encouraged, when the team called all the worship leaders so they can pray for them, hubby went immediately.

As much as we wanted to attend the worship conference the following day (Saturday, April 5) we couldn’t because of our church scheduled water baptism. Sayang talaga. I know he’ll get a lot of inputs there as worship leader. Anyway, we’re hoping there would be more worship conference coming and sana next time the rest of the worship team can go with us.

I love you Ryan

Ryan,

You’re so big na..11 years ago, we were all so excited to see you, to cuddle you in our arms, I still remember how nervous your lolo and lola were while your mom was still in labor and how I cried and prayed hard sa likod ng house nila Tita Michelle while you’re mom was screaming in pain…I can still remember how excited your Mama Weng was to go home from Manila to Cabanatuan just to see you agad.

And though it was not easy bringing you out here in this world, as we all know your Mom risked her life and we all thought we will lose her..I know she’ll say it’s worth it. It’s worth all the pain because look at you..you’re so big now, you’re now 11 years old and you grew up to be a very good boy.

Of course not perfect because nobody is perfect but still you’re exceptional, I am so blessed when I see you hunger for the word of God even at your young age, and I am blessed even more to hear your passion to serve HIM now and when you grow old.

Anak, I want you to know that I love you so much, much as I want to protect you from all the pain realities of life but I can’t. I can only pray na sana all those troubles your mom and dad has will shape you to be a fine young man someday. And all those hardships will cause you to be the best that you can be.

How time flies, parang kalian lang, we were buying you all the Jollibee and Mcdonald toys, now, you’re asking for real musical instrument na. I wish for you na you’ll be able to use whatever talents you’ve got to glorify our Lord.

Happy Birthday Ryan, I will always be here for you no matter what. I will always love you the way I do when I first saw you and held you in my arms 11 years ago.

You’re one of God’s precious gifts to us.

God bless you anak!

Love,

Tita Raquel

remembering our wedding day

That's a copy of our invitation, the chocolate lollipops were given to us as a gift and were given to guests as well, my friends who made it actually tried to imitate our logo which was a cross in the middle of two R,which indicated me and my hubby and the Lord in the center. I know it doesn't excatly look the same though :) but still I appreciated thier effort. as in.

This is the logo in the backdrop,made by hubby of course..he's so payat pa jan, pero now he's as big as me na yata..and let me say..he's more pogi now.naks! galing ko nga daw mag-alaga.hehe!
