Melancholy

March 8th, 2010

Proverbs 22:26
Train a child in the way he should go, and even when he’s old he will not turn away from it.

Two weeks from now, my 78-day maternity leave will come to an end. I can’t help but feel a little melancholy. I know I’ll have a lot of catching up to do in the office and I’ll probably be very busy. I am scared to lose time and energy for my little angels. Part of me just wants to stay at home and take care of the kids, do a little ministry work in our church and put up a small business. But the truth is, I don’t have the guts to do so. I know in my heart that being a stay-at-home mom is a luxury that I can’t afford right now.

I need to help my husband reach our goals. After all, it’s for our kids’ future. All we want is to give them the kind of life they deserve.

My wonderful children, Greg (4 years old) and Ayesha (1 month old).

I only hope and pray that God would help us raise our children well while working earnestly for their future. Child-rearing is not an easy task. You don’t instantly reap what you sow. As parents, we are bound to wait years till we see the real fruit of our hardwork. One day, I want to be able to give myself a pat on the back and say, “Honney, you did an excellent job raising your children!”

Cancelled!

March 4th, 2010

We were supposed to go to Davao for a three-day summer vacation this month. But due to unexpected happenings at work, our flight had been cancelled. I can’t help but feel a little sad…Sigh. Davao is one of the places in the Philippines that I’ve always wanted to visit.

Ahhh, Samal Island! I’ll embrace your beauty some other time.

Blog problems

March 2nd, 2010

Hello! I’m having all sorts of problems with this blog that’s why I can’t update it. I guess it has something to do with my host. Most of the time I can’t access my blog at home. Nakakapagod ng i-troubleshoot. Sometimes it works, but most of the time it doesn’t.

Luckily I can access it today, but I can’t upload images naman. May limit ang image upload. Hay, nakakaloka!

By the way, you can read updates on my other blog. Have a blessed day ahead!

You know better than I

February 11th, 2010

Dear God,
I trust You with all my heart…
I don’t know what the future holds, but at least I know WHO holds it.
It’s all up to You now.
Because You know better than I…



I thought I did what’s right
I thought I had the answers
I thought I chose the surest road
But that road brought me here
So i put up a fight
And told you how to help me
Now just when i have given up
The truth is coming clear

Chorus 1:
You know better than i
You know the way
I’ve let go the need to know why
For You know better than I

If this has been a test
I cannot see the reason
But maybe knowing
I don’t know is part of getting through
I tried to do what’s best
But faith has made it easy
To see the best thing I can do
Is to put my trust in You.

Chorus 2
For, You know better than I
You know the way
I’ve let go the need to know why
For You know better than I

Coda:
I saw one cloud and thought it was a sky
I saw a bird and thought that i could follow
But it was You who taught that bird to fly
If i let You reach me
Will You teach me.
(Repeat Chorus )

For, You know better than I
You know the way
I’ve let go the need to know why
I’ll take what answers you supply
You know better than I



Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to all!
Can’t wait for Noche Buena later. Hehe. Anong handa nyo?

My family and I are spending Christmas at my parents’ house in Mandaluyong para mas masaya. Then we’re going to my grandparents’ house the next day to bond with my relatives and to give our presents for everyone. I’m pretty sure we’re gonna have a great time!

Have a blessed day! Mwah!

T.G.I.S!

December 12th, 2009

Thank God It’s Saturday! I can finally sleep and rest. I went to my OB yesterday for my bi-monthly check up and was told that my CS operation will be scheduled on January 18. Yay, that’s two days after Greggy’s 4th birthday. I’m super excited to see my baby girl, but I can’t help but feel nervous too. As you know, I had a very complicated delivery with my baby boy in 2006. So please, please…pray for me and my baby. I hope it’ll not be complicated this time.

By the way, I renewed this domain for another year. I can’t believe that this blog is turning two years this month. Time really does fly huh? Have a blessed Saturday with your family!

Hillsong United rocks!

December 8th, 2009

I am not sure if I’ve ever mentioned this on my blog before, but I’m such a huge fan of Hillsong United. Their music is truly amazing and inspiring!

To those who may not know, Hillsong United is an Australian rock and worship band, a part of Hillsong Church’s youth ministry Hillsong United. Their music is a contemporary style of praise and worship tempered with mainstream rock.

Anyway, I just want to share this music video entitled Hosanna by Hillsong United. This song is always being played in our church after the service. Hope you’ll like it as much as I do. Enjoy!


I see the king of glory
Coming on the clouds with fire
The whole earth shakes
The whole earth shakes

Yeeeah

I see his love and mercy
Washing over all our sin
The people sing
The people sing

[Chorus]
Hosanna
Hosanna
Hosanna in the highest [x2]

I see a generation
Rising up to take their place
With selfless faith
With selfless faith

I see a near revival
Stirring as we pray and seek
We’re on our knees
We’re on our knees

[Chorus]

Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like you have loved me

Break my heart from what breaks yours
Everything I am for your kingdoms cause
As I go from nothing to
Eternity

[Chorus x2]

Hosanna in the highest

Help!

November 11th, 2009

Hi, guys! I need your help.

I’ve just upgraded this blog to Wordpress 2.8.5. I thought everything was fine until I tried creating a new post. Guess what? I can’t add images! Nothing happens whenever I click on the “add image” icon. I also noticed that there’s no icon for bold, italic, insert link and the like. I tried adding tags, but it’s not working either.

What have I done wrong? All my plugins work perfectly though.

UPDATE: This issue is now fixed. One of my plugins (WP-Grins) was the culprit! When I deactivated it, all the icons showed up and worked. Thanks, EarnBlogger for your advice!

Walking with God

November 2nd, 2009

My husband gave me my very first pocket bible and wrote a very nice dedication on its first page. :heart:


10/29/09

Dearest,
I am pleased to give you your first bible! May you find pure joy in reading the scriptures. Take this wherever you go. I am so happy to see you in search of God. You have kindled a flame and don’t let it flicker. My love, may you also find true peace in this book as you strengthen your walk with God.

P.S:
Let’s share this wonderful walk together…I love you. :love:

Love,
Leo

I have been reading it for a couple of days now and he’s been patiently guiding me through my earnest intention of walking with God. :music: I am happy that he and our three-year-old son are with me in my pursuit of truth. Because not only does it bring us closer to God, it also strengthens our bond and faith as a family. :love:

Have a blessed day ahead! :bleh:
