Life is too short

God is faithful

My facebook status last night as we made the first payment to the lot I've been praying for.

"Stepping forward to the fulfillment of one of our many big dreams! God is faithful."

So many major decisions were made in our lives this month (as husband and wife) and I admit sometimes I'm scared and I get nervous but I know our faith in the Lord (that He holds our future) will take away all the doubts.

We should have started earlier but God's timing is always perfect. 

I'm one happy wife today :) 

 

Breakfast at Tam-Awan Village,Baguio City

We were in Baguio last weekend for a short vacation. The last time we went there was 9 years ago, we weren't even in a relationship then :) I am so glad we had this trip. It was a relief and we really had fun. It was also our first time to visit Tam-Awan village where we had this breakfast at the pond :) so lovely!

Breakfast at Tam-Awan Village :) 

I love that Benguet brewed coffee and it's refillable for only 30.00

 only it comes with an instant creamer :(

Tam-Awan salad 

and raisin cookies which cost 12.00 each! not to die for but for the price it's OK na

 Lady finger (15.00) soft and yummy..perfect for brewed coffee!

Thank you Lord for this short vacation!

Mourning and Dancing

Last Saturday, I took my hands off my laptop because I found this book sitting in the boxes somewhere in the house and didn't stop reading until the last page. I remember buying this book probably 9 years ago, I didn't know then that i would be needing and reading it now. God's timing is always perfect no?

I found this very helpful because some of  the words she used are exactly how I was feeling. And it somehow validated my belief that each one grieves differently. I know my sisters are grieving differently or deals with grief differently even we both lost the same Dad.

I cried through the book and at the end I remained hopeful that someday soon, we will all be dancing again :)

Wordless wednesday

I dream of....

J.BOY (Japanese fastfood shop)

As I mentioned in my last post, we went here for lunch last Sunday. I thought it was expensive for us but I guess because it's fast food shop it is reasonably price and am happy kasi we can afford it. hehe!

This was my husband's plate, Beef Teriyaki combo, the fried rice is sooo good!! sulit na talaga for 155.00

this was my order, power combo and it's also 155.00 pesos. All their combo menu are serve with Miso soup.

Great Sunday :) Great God!

yes, it was a great Sunday yesterday-for the first time since my Dad passed away. I'm slowly coping up. Thank God for my husband's help and for the unconditional love he is giving me.

taken at the church yesterday

I didn't have any plans of going to church that morning but I was glad I did :) I was blessed. After church, we had lunch at a Japanese fastfood style restaurant (which I will blog later). It' our first time here and it was nice, we went home full and satisfied.

At home, we watched again "Red tails" a movie about negro pilots -very inspiring movie, we watched with our brand new TV. Yey!!! so thankful talaga for the new blessing! My husband sensed my longing for a new TV since our old tv was broken, I didn't expect a nice tv like this but I am thankful he decided to get this one :) It's big and it is LED. It's installment though but it' s okay because we got it on easy payment scheme.

I came also to watch husband play basketball together with the husbands of the church, someone treated us for a yummy dinner also.Pizza, chicken, salad and banana split for desserts :)

Thank you Lord for everything!! You are indeed a great God!

Welcome Von James

Our good friend J-mie of  Risible Wanderer gave birth to a super duper cute baby boy last June 8 and like what we usually do for our special friends, we made sure we were there the very first day to welcome the newest baby. And this time, we made a welcome banner for him!

Isn't he so adorable?

And look how happy we were (my husband and I are all smile di ba?)

I know someday soon, we will have our own baby na din and for sure he will be welcomed with so much love too!!

June is wedding month

and though I am not a June bride I am going with the flow, married couples from my group are posting their favorite wedding photo.... so here's mine.

One of my favorite wedding portraits

 another favorite scene from my wedding

oh happy memories :) and how I wish I could go back to that weight again.

Happy Father's day?

It is painful to celebrate father's day without you. Our first. I will forever miss you.

The venue with my paper rosettes :D

Here's the venue decorated with the paper rosettes I tirelessly made last week :) Without them, the venue could have so plain. I'm happy with the outcome! and yes, I added some pompoms too!!

Paper rosette or medallions as wedding decor

spending some sleepless nights for these paper decorations,I will use this for a wedding on Friday. I don't mind the effort and the lack of sleep. I enjoy naman doing such DIY decor ..and besides it's like therapy na rin for me. It somehow takes my mind off the loneliness and the office work.

Do you like them? Obviously the wedding colors are red and yellow. I am also making lots of paper pompoms. I will post how the place will look like when these are all up there.

I hope it turns out beautiful.
