Busy and Long day

It was such a busy and long day for me. I was up at around 4:30 AM and was already out of the house at 6:00. I must say I accomplished a lot today. Passport done and will be released on the 22nd of December, so that was a major accomplishment for me.

It will also be a busy weekend (as always) for me. I think the coming weekends will be the busiest for me this year. Several Christmas parties coming, a fund raising concert and a wedding to coordinate, well at least I have friends I can count on to for help.

Oh..the Twilight is now showing and also the Eraserheads concert. I wish I can see anyone of the two. My golly, I have never been into movie house since ages. I don’t even know that there’s a kind of home theater lighting now. I would really love to se twilight. I hope I can ask hubby to come with me.

Anyways, tomorrow is a long day again so I better hit the sack now. I’m like awake for 21 hours now. Sheesh.

SKYWATCH FRIDAY

I still cannot believe that hubby captured these beautiful sky photos one afternoon right there outside our window...

Notice how he captured the the blue colors? beautiful! I am now his No. 1 Fan. lol

Looking forward for more beautiful sky photos from my hubby's eyes
And if you want to see more visit skywatch today.

Safe in Good hands

I haven’t tried inquiring more so of buying any kind of insurance. My eldest sister is the one who I think invested in this stuff. And now that economy is not good and there has been many pre need companies that was force to close, the biggest I know is the CAP, I don’t think it is best to get insurance at this point in time. However, if you still wish to get life insurance I guess you just have to search for the best life insurance rates there is or educational plan if you want that. It is best to equip yourself before buying such di ba? And research about the insurance company, know their assets and liabilities if you can, their investments so you would know if you really are in the good hands.

But in the end, it’s still GOD who knows the future and we are always safe in HIS mighty HANDS.

Thankful Thursday


HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO EVERYONE!!

And though IRIS is not hosting the regular Thankful Thursday this week I would still want to give praise and thanks to God.

First, I thank God for hubby's passport which he is gong to receive on the 18th. God honored our very first step of faith. Mine is still pending but I'm quite assured that I will also be granted a passport.

I also want to Thank God for what breaking my heart last night before HIM. Indeed a broken spirit and a contrite heart, HE will not despise. I thank God for giving us the time to really soak in HIS presence through non-stop praise and worship.

I thank God that HE will provide for our very first mission trip to Macau in February. Thank God for the provision for that trip and for giving me extra income through paid blogging. For the weekly assignments like the las vegas hotel reservations I have to do now.

You are a great GOD and I praise you for LOVING ME!

Where oh where?

The hunt for that nice and yet affordable house to rent is still on going. I saw one that I like last Saturday that is very near our current place too. It has two rooms with a small veranda, it also has a big living room and a laundry area. I wish I could afford the monthly rental though which is beyond the budget I am allocating.

I really would want to buy a house of our own someday. Even a small house in rural area would do. I would love to decorate and arranged my own furniture. Like the way Schumacher Homes designs the homes they built for their customers. They also help you find and built your home the way you want it to be. Look at this lovely kitchen;

Now, I wish I could at least make a my kitchen as bright and as spacious as that.

I am WONDERWOMAN!


at least one of my blog friends thinks I am and I am grateful for that :) Thanks so much emz! Now I would like to pass this one of a kind award to my wonder woman blogger friends too. This is for you NANCY, MARI, JACQUE, LISA, VICY, JAMMY, JOWN, and CARMEL!

Wordless Wednesday


It's wordless and I'm hungry. I could eat a whole plate of this.

Broadcast your phone messages

The one I am going to talk about is another wonder from the internet world. There are too many now, can’t count them on my fingers anymore. It never existed before where the only communication people knew is through writing letters and verbal, and then came the telephone. And the technology as we all knew didn’t stop with the telephone, and then came the beepers, the cell phones, and now the internet call.

I used to wonder how the telephone was invented and how it works, I stop wondering now how we can make phone calls through internet and how it works. All I know is that it makes life lighter and easier especially when you have family from a distance.

Now, we can not only make calls through internet but you can actually do Voice Broadcasting. It is the newest telecommunication method where you can broadcasts your phone messages simultaneously to hundreds of recipients. No not only to hundreds but to thousands of people actually. That’s like real broadcasting with a much cheaper cost.

Myvoicedialing.com is the site where you can do that, they also offer robo calls for political organizations. I guess politicians can take advantage of this if they want to win. And they do a lot more telemarketing jobs.

I wonder what’s going to be next in the internet world. Let’s wait and see.

Passport application update

Good Morning! Though it is really not good to me because I wasn’t able to secure my passport this morning, I’m thankful na rin that hubby’s application was approved, he will have his on December 18. We were there before 6 AM and guess what? There were plenty of applicants lined up already. I thought we will be first in line but nope, good thing there are chairs so you’re sitting while waiting for your turn. I can’t wait that long standing on my feet unless I am using an MBT shoes which somehow helps in correcting your posture while standing.

I shall go back to DFA tomorrow and I’ll make sure I’ll go earlier so I’ll be on the first line. Please keep on praying It ‘ll be ok this time, armed with old Identification cards I hope I’ll be done by 9 AM.

Step of Faith


Wish us BEST!

We're going to DFA tomorrow morning for our passport application. It was supposed to be this morning but we woke up late and also hubby has this regular staff meeting that starts at 8 am. We finally decided to attend the IT Regional Conference in Macau on February 8 to 12. Encouraged and inspired by people who mattered to us, we will take the step of faith. This will be the start of our many missions trip together-we were made for this.

Step of Faith because if we will look on the money we're going to spend on that conference there's no way we can do that. As you all know, my hubby is a full time staff of our church and they only get meager amount of allowance monthly. And though I am working, there’s no way I can afford that trip for both of us.

BUT I’M SURE OUR GOD WILL PROVIDE.

So we’re taking the very first step tomorrow as we go to DFA to apply for our passports.

I reviewed our documents and so far it seems everything is ok.

Will let you know how the application went through tomorrow.


Got the image here.

Lovely trees

Can you imagine how beautiful a tree fence is? Look at this Leyland Cypress Trees. See how nice it is? How I wish I could have that kind of fence in my own yard someday. I love greens because they look so peaceful and hubby would definitely love it too.



These trees can be order through mail and according to some of their clients they do shipment fast and the quality of the trees are good. You gotta love those tree fence. Even if you are not a seasoned gardener you’ll have no hard time growing them because they grow fast.

I so want a nice landscape and I dream of having it right there on my yard someday.
