Kuya's Birthday

Today is my brother’s birthday, the eldest to me and Redge. Unlike past years he didn’t prepared a big celebration. They were shopping for goods for their Sta. Lucia’s booth store so they opted to celebrate on a different date.

Kuya is the first among us who experienced God’s overwhelming grace and glory, I remember those mornings spent sharing God’s word. I was on an afternoon shift then and he’s starting his construction company, we’re still single at that time so we have every morning to spare to talk and share God’s word. It was when I felt the urge to feel and know more about God. God used my big bro in my realization of God’s wonderful love to me. Since that first fellowship way back Sept. 26, 1992 where he has brought me and Redge to House of God church my life has changed. On Oct. 25 of that same year we were baptized.

Now Kuya is very busy with his government office work and construction company but still manage to have three bible study in a week wherein he shares God’s word to people in Cainta, Infanta, Quezon and Calamba, Laguna. He’s an Evangelist Engineer and he heed to God’s calling spending his personal money and never asking for return. He told us God will return the blessing to Him. He told us it’s better to help people who can’t return the favor to you because that’s the true spirit of giving – not asking or waiting anything in return.

I thank God for giving us a big brother like him, a college scholar who uses his wisdom in sharing God’s word and uses his hard-earned money to help others. Like the title of his newly-created blog for sharing God’s word he truly has a Servant Heart.

Bohol Picturesque Sceneries

Downloaded Osang’s picture of Bohol’s magnificent beach and resort where they had a vacation for her birthday and their wedding anniversary. Sweet celebration don’t you think? Anyway they’re all alone as they’re accompanied by their mothers and their sons. Much like a family vacation to me but it’s also happier like that because at least they can endorsed their kids on evenings and have dinner date near the beach, I’m getting very romantic these days! Here’s some of the beautiful pictures!

Browsing New Templates

It’s Ramadhan holiday today! Me and sis Redge were busy with choosing new template for our blogs. I want to change my layout template for my other domain blog ‘Moments of My Life’. I’m thinking if I will do it now because it will take me time to completely change and I’ll have to save the codes to be sure that I’ll be able to put back the codes in case it didn’t showed up in the new template. I decided to do it next time that I have free time because I have to do some due assignments on my other blog. I’ll be leaving also a little later to attend bible study in Cubao. Josh was asking me if he could come with me and I said I’ll think about it. I’ll bring him with me but I’ll just surprise him later.

Health is Suffering

I have to decide what to do with my resignation. I’m thinking of agreeing to what my boss was telling when I resigned last May that I work at home and report twice a week. I didn't agree with that schedule as my Mom and my family really needs me but until now I don't have someone to turn over my load. I was worrying about my health I’m working myself too hard, keeping up my blogs and sleeping 2-3 hours only everyday. I need to have my B.P. checked up as I know I’m always on the side of low blood pressure. Hope I’ll be able to decide this matter as soon as possible.

Tired From Yesterday’s Travel

I’m still tired from yesterday night’s travel to Laguna. Thank God it’s Sunday today and I thanked Him also for guiding us all in our trip, holding my brothers hand in driving our way to my cousin’s wake. Even if we crossed the zigzag and mountainous roads of Laguna God never failed to stretch His guiding hand on us. I really felt His hand holding our car when we suddenly encountered a zero visibility winding road due to fog. Without God on our side we will never be able to pass that road safely. God is good all the time!

Traveled to Cousin’s Wake

I’ve rounded up my weekend chores to my best possible fast pace because we’re scheduled for Laguna today. My first cousin Ka Viring died last Thursday, me and my siblings decided to go there today because it’s the only possible time schedule for my brother since he had some bible study schedules and construction payroll.

Mom can’t make it because of her arthritis so it’s just the three of us, Big Brother, Me and Redge. We didn’t bring the kids as evening trip is not favorable and conducive to children. It was a foggy trip ahead of us and it’s my first time to encounter heavy fog on our trip giving us no view of the road ahead of us. With God’s guiding hand we safely reached Famy, Laguna and finally visited the wake of our cousin. Uncle Ipeng, the only sibling of my Mom and our relatives there were just as happy to see us all. Uncle Iping and his children are very dear to us as they’re the ones who helped my Mom in caring and raising us. Mom always has an assistant you know!

We stayed for another hour or so in Kang Duneng’s house where Orly said goodbye as he’s again bound for Qatar on Oct. 8 to work as Technician, he’s only on vacation this month. After eating what Kang Duneng has cooked we again traveled back to Cainta encountering roads dangerous twists and heavy mountain fogs. We thanked God that we arrived home safe and sound with His help.

Tight Schedule

I was a bit sleepy and tired because of last night’s late arrival from bible study. Well I’m used to getting up early even if I sleep very late also. Sometimes I didn’t watched closely how late that I sleep past 2am then waking up 4:30 in the morning to cook for my kids because I want them to eat rice on mornings and they bring lunch meals to school. It’s hard because after preparing things and food for them including my youngest Josh I have to get ready before 8am to go to my office in Libis. And my work? It’s tough too because I handle multi-tasking works such as hr, administrative, accounting, billing, collection and whatever job where no one handles! Tough work, tight schedule! But I love it, I like cooking for my family and being an OC Mom to them! Someday soon I’ll have time for myself! Wishes!

Cooking For Bible Study

I left the office earlier than usual because we’re hosting the weekly Wednesday bible study in our church. No one’s going to cook for me as I don’t have any helper. Mom was offering to lend me a cooking hand but I told her I will just go home earlier because she will get tired. I’ll cook 5 kilos of menudo and I think that’s heavy on my Mom. I’ll be needing her master taste in food though! When I reached the house Mom has already fixed and get all things ready for me, she’s really a dear Mom! I’m so blessed having her as my mother, not only a good cook but a loving mother and a good teacher to my kids as well! I reached the house at 3:30pm and at 5:00 pm my food was cooked.

I still need to place it in food keepers for easy traveling. Nice that my mother-in-law is always in-charge of cooking and bringing 6 kilos of rice because that’s also hard to cook evenly! I’ve brought Gen along with me so I’ll have someone to assist me, she’s an angel when it comes to helping me! We reached the church just in time for the starting up and during dinner churchmate told me that my menudo taste really good! Such compliments!

Planning Menu

I was planning menu for Wednesday bible study which we will be hosting this week. In our church bible study families took turns in hosting dinner food for around 40 people attending bible study. There are 8 families who are hosting on a regular basis which makes it every 8 weeks. We regard hosting as a blessing to us and every hosting bring about so much blessing in our family. We started hosting 3 years ago and in all those hostings God never failed giving us financial capacity to host. Money just keeps on coming back to you if you put it on the right areas especially on the fellowship services. Just always remember that God is our Jehovah Jireh, our provider that supplies all our needs according to His riches and glory!
