December Camp Communion & Footwashing

Every December and Summer Camp we have communion and footwashing. Ninang Remy, our dear pastor's wife always cook the unleavened bread made from flour without yeast. Together with some sisters they mixed flour with enough water, then mashed it and later throw into the boiling pot of water. This unleavened bread represents the body of Christ. We also have red wine which only has 5% alcohol. Before the communion we see to it that we're close to each other or let's say no one has a tinge of regret or grudge to anyone in the church because this will not represent a true communion which is asking forgiveness to all your wrong attitude and wrongdoings in life and start a new bright aspect in life. This is a very heart warming hour and very solemn too. Would like to share some pictures here:

December Camp Meeting In Tagaytay

We spent a couple of days in Tagaytay City as we praised and worshipped the reason for this Christmas season 'Jesus Christ'. We started traveling very early in the morning meeting brethren in Fairview at Pasig City around 3am then we headed off to GMA Cavite where we met our Pastor and brethren in Sta. Ana. All five vehicles then headed to Tagaytay City reaching our destination before the sun shines. It was very cold in Tagaytay especially when the wind blows, one jacket is not enough to get warm. It was a very fulfilling fellowship, a kind of retreat for all of us. Everyone cooperated with their assigned duties and responsibilities. The youth and mothers took care of the sunday school with their bible lessons and games. The sisters took turns in helping our dear master cook Sis. Cresing and the ministers had their time of sharing God's word especially our Pastor who dedicate his precious time teaching and sharing his God-given revelation and wisdom in God's word. Everybody worked as one body in Christ especially in our Communion and Feetwashing. We met the owner of the mansion Pastor Dick who shared God's word before we left the place, he was a very humble and kind person. We were very happy and fulfilled when we finally left the place.

It's My Birthday Today!

Cake and Roses for my birthday! That's what hubby has bought for my birthday, he never fails to give me white roses every birthday and anniversary.

I spent half of my day with my girls' party in school, as PTA officer we arranged some activities and games to make their christmas party merrier. They were so happy with the parlor games, prizes, gifts and giveaways. I brought Josh along and he also got a loot bag. JennyL and Micah visited me in the evening, I cooked fried chicken and served them with pork barbeque, grilled squid (my favorite) and ice cream. We were late for my visitors as I've done my final shopping for our Tagaytay Fellowship but Jen and Micah was entertained by Josh, he never runs out of stories so my visitors were not mad at me when I reached home lol! I'm glad my fried chicken was a hit to Micah because in Australia they never had crispy chicken, they baked chicken.

Birthday Dinner With Ed

As the week will be so busy I surprised my hubby by dropping by in his office to have dinner with him, he was happy that we'll be celebrating my birthday in advance that he ask permission to leave their store 3 hours earlier than usual-mallwide store hours is up to 10pm the whole month of December. We shopped for shoes before we ate at our favorite kainan in Gateway Mall, just as simple dinner of Sizzling Sisig, Pizza, Salad and Ice Cream. I always want to surprise him sometimes because it's exciting that way. Couples should be like that even when married for a couple of years already, you know it's adding some spice to relationship. We eat together outside in restaurant or in fast food every payday to enjoy each other's company outside the pressures of running a family.

Josh' First School Christmas Party

It's Josh Christmas Party in school and we were notified by school that no parents are allowed to accompany their kids on the party, if stage mothers (lol) insisted to be there at the party they just have to be at the school gate. With this notice I finally surrendered to my idea of coming to his party and informed the office that I will not be on leave today. Still I fixed Josh gifts and things murmuring to myself that we should be allowed to go with them though I praise the teachers for their decision because sometimes parents are overdoing things and the school grounds would just be full of doting parents. Kids will learn how to be independent. Since I still have enough time I dressed my little prince to be sure he'll look good. I left the house feeling good that I saw how my kid looked in his polo and slacks. Cute little boy(trust Mommy to always say that to their babies lol!) he always want to be groomed like that.

St. Audry's Christmas Program

I was getting rushed as our service vehicle for school was late again. He's always like that on a Monday just like me having Monday sickness lol! I filed my leave so I can be with Josh, school directress and teachers invited parents to be with their kids for us to see the students' variety of presentation. All students wear red just like S.Claus costume. I asked if we can skipped wearing the costume but my teacher friend Janet suggested that we'll just wear it there during the program. Costume was made by my friend Annie Z. who's always there to help me out with my three kids' costume everytime the need arises. Anyway there's a lot of presentation but what I liked most is the presentation of the birth of Jesus Christ - the real reason for this season. Small kids were made to look like Mary, Joseph, angels, three Kings and shepherd. Glad they all behaved :-)

They Love Ice Cream

Here comes mamang sorbetero again ringing his bells on my kids, they love ice cream so much their ears are always waiting for the ice cream man's bells. My kids took after my cravings for ice cream, everywhere we go usually in mall supermarkets they always look for the ice cream booth that sells scoops of ice cream. It's always a part of their eating habits. Be it on the can, on the glass or on the cone, ice cream is always the best. You can see here picture of them eating ice cream in the mall.

My Father's Birthday

It's my father birthday today but since he's passed away already I just offered him a prayer. Oh how I loved my father when he's still here, I was the family's DADDY's girl because I was the one who resembled him the most especially my looks. Neighbours used to call me Girl Junior lol! He's like a jack-of-all trade in his job, skills and talents. He's an architect and engineer of our big house, a lawyer by studies, a government servant in occupation and profession - he served our town as municipal secretary for twenty years with a clean record, a businessman, a tailor, a speech writer (that's where I got my flair for writing), has talent in music and a very lovable husband and father.

Because Tatay as I fondly called him was a very responsible and understanding husband I had difficulty in finding a man like him. I just can't be attracted to a person who has looks but don't have depth or sense. I didn't looked or search for a man similar to him but the Lord find and gave me a man of God to be my partner for life. That's my blessing for LIFE.

What Your Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich Means

Oh I really love sandwiches that's why I was interested to do this quiz and may be see for myself if it's true! Some were true, a few not so very true lol! Fun doing this! Try these friends!

What Your Peanut Butter And Jelly Sandwich Means

Your eating style is reserved. You are a bit of a fussy eater, and you have very specific ways you like your food prepared. You have an average sweet tooth. While you enjoy desserts, they aren't exactly your downfall. Your taste in food tends to be quite eclectic and wide. You are an adventurous eater, and you like many types of cuisines. Admit it, you're a little trashy and low class at times. You're definitely more comfortable at a tattoo parlor than the theater. You never really grew up. While your childlike innocence is charming, you often just come across as a big baby. Precise and controlled, you can be a bit anal retentive when it comes to how you like things. You're definitely a perfectionist.

Mom Rosing's Birthday!

It's Mom's Rosing birthday, my very nice and understanding mother-in-law whose like a mother to me also. A sweet granny to my kids, a very lovable mother to Ed and his siblings and a sweet mom-in-law to me. What more ca you ask for? I was truly blessed by our Lord in giving me such a nice and honest person for a biyenan. Others are having a hard time pleasing the mothers of their husband, doing everything just to please them but still some of them can't win the hearts of their husband's mothers.

We had pancit by Joeys to celebrate her birthday and for her 'long life' as always heard by Filipinos. Have given her a very formal and special peach blouse for her to wear on special occasions. She's a very simple woman and whatever I gave her she always treasures. A very appreciative woman also. My eldest daughter Ruth got her looks, they're like half apples lol! Pretty and bedimpled! All of my kids have dimples and they got it from her, strong blood!! I wish that she'll be happy always!

Bonifacio Day and Founding Anniversary

November and December 1 are our town's founding anniversary and town fiesta celebrated together with Bonifacio Day. Festive day for our town, celebrated with programs and parades all over the town. Yesterday was quite a long parade of townfolks, establishments, government and non-government organizations. The parade took about 2 hours, i think. I was quite amazed at the young motorists who showed some exhibitions yesterday, really young as they're around 4-5 years old only! have included some shots here! Well, got lots of pictures in my other blog Race Corner too!

Lunch Meeting at Tender Bob's

Been out of the office for nearly four hours as we've had lunch meeting with one of the country's major telcos. Had some lunch in my boss' steak restaurant in Shangri-la Mall. Tender Bob's steak is really good, I've tasted many of their steak menus and i find it superb in taste :-) I've read and gone through their different menus now including their chicken, salads, pasta and burgers, yes burgers and fries in a steak house! Actually i love their rendition of Potato Skin they should be awarded with the trophy of recycling waste di ba! We just throw potato skins in the bin, little did we know that it can be a blockbuster pika pika especially if dipped in a very special dipping sauce. You'll love also their very tender chicken and Saba Fritters. I've jotted them all in my mind because I'm planning to treat my bes JennyL there. If you've read about my post on her birthday you'll notice there that she's craving for steaks so I'll just bring her to my sir Bob's steak house to patronize my boss' business :-).

<= That's my order -US Angus Ribeye Steak

Earthquake in the City

Earthquake rocked Metropolis again but with a slight intensity this time. I was informed by my friends in our office that a slight tremor was felt while we were having our lunch break. I was a bit late in eating my lunch so I didn't really noticed it. So full of things to do in my list that even an earthquake wasn't able to penetrate my busy mind lol! Anyway earthquakes were really expected in areas in the Pacific because the Philippine archipelago is in the Pacific' Ring of Fire'. To set up the record it was only Intensity #2 here in Quezon City, 3 in Manila and I heard 6 in Baguio City, I heard an earlier report that it was only 4.2 there but a friend running a business in Baguio City informed me through text that indeed it was an Intensity 6. Glad my sister's Planning Seminar was held there last Friday up to Sunday, whew! just 3 days difference! God is really good! ALL THE TIME!

My Love Personality Type Is INFJ

My love personality type is INFJ

About 2-3% of the U.S. population possesses the combination of traits that make up this personality type.

As an INFJ, people who appreciate high quality will usually notice you. Intuition and emotion are your type's strong suits. As a result, your sensitivity and adept communication skills can almost immediately put people at ease. You aren't the kind to overwhelm people with senseless babble. You'll usually prefer to be a good listener. Those around you can often sense this integrity. They may even implicitly know that they can trust you without you having to say a word. Chances are that your insights have helped any number of people during their time of need. In relationships, your warm personality helps you to quickly forge deep personal bonds with others. Easygoing and harmonious, you tend to dislike petty arguments and are usually very forgiving of minor transgressions.

Given your test results, Tickle's personality experts have determined your four most compatible matches when connecting with others. One of those four compatible types is an ESFP.

Find out which other love personality types are compatible with yours, and what it is about your love personality that makes your union with these types so powerful, in your personalized Love Personality Report! It's ready right now!

An Evening With Jen

I had a nice birthday evening dinner with my bestfriend JennyL and high school batchmate Helen, we're all from CCS. We dined at Don Henricos' though Jen was eyeing and craving for some steak. Our feet ached but we saw no sign of a fine dining resto that serve steak. If I knew she wants steak I should have brought her to Shangri-la or Greenhills because my boss owns a steak house there - the Tender Bob's Steaks. But anyway the night was young and we had plenty of chikkas to share and laugh about. As for me I love the food in Don Henricos. We ordered buffalo wings (my all-time favorite there), fettucini ala king with giant garlic bread lol! and caesar's salad.

Dinner went well coupled with reminiscing high school days filled with memories of old friends, years of intramurals, foundation days, the lenient and strict teachers, the good and bad image classmates, the crushes and a lot more. We talked about the years succeeding that when we had to deal with different set of friends and course of life. Really nice spending time with good old friends, time flies so fast the night was not enough for stories. Jen and I were always like that full of stories just like the old days, we never seemed to run out of chikka, that's what we get from being inseparables since 2nd year high. Hard to say goodbye for the night.

Tita Mama

Redge, my one and only younger sister is like a second mother to my kids. She loves them dearly and gave everything to them just like me. Ruth and Gengen grew up with her on their side always acting like their own mommy, in fact they fondly called her Tita Mama. Whenever and wherever she went during her dayoff and holidays she always see to it that she has at least one companion when going to supermarket or to the mall. She's very fond of them and she treats them as her own. I'm a lucky sister as well as I can entrust them to her every Wednesday when I attend our weekly bible study in our church. I always thank the Lord for giving me a very thoughtful and caring sister like her. Thanks Redge!

My Domain

I’ve finally got my domain today http://racelyn.com. I got it from 1and1.com which was recommended by JennyL. Setup was very fast and quick, actually I just followed my friend JennyL domain tutorial, I love her tutorial because it’s user-friendly meaning easy to follow. Imagine I just spent 20 minutes or a little more time and presto I got it now!

As this blog of mine is already PR3 my friend told me to think first before changing or applying this blog into a domain because it's not that easy to get PR3 for a new site. I told her that this time of my life now with my regular demanding job and 3 kids I can only maintain 3 sites and since I already have 2 other sites I need to sacrifice the rank of this site. I just hope that I'll be able to get back to that rank when the next update happens.

So I guess I'll have to thank my friends, visitors and those readers who blog hop and care to read my entries. Like what my friend was telling me just an hour ago some good things are coming our way!

Little Friends

Josh and Hanna always play inside or outside the house. Since Hanna was a little baby she's Josh' favorite playmate because she's easy to get along with and very cute too. She's the second daughter of our neighbor within our compound and she's also my godchild. She often visits our house whenever she escaped her nanny and parents lol! She’s only 3 years old but if you’ve heard her talking she’s very serious in completing her stories. Here you’ll find them holding their soft balls but actually they’ve exchanged their toys here. Red smiley ball is actually my son’s toy.

My 3 Angels

We were off for our Sunday Fellowship when my kids asked me to take pictures of them as they were waiting for daddy to pack our things in the car, impatient kids lol! Have posted their happy and cool photos in my other blog Race Corner. They were a bunch of kids who always wants to pose before me when they see me setting up my camera cum celphone, yeah all these pics were taken only by my Motorola celphone, cool isn't it. Very convenient as I don't have to carry with me a digital camera just a celphone will do.

Bonding Moments

Everyday before going to work we spent a little more time with our son browsing through his workbooks and coloring books and walking with him to a street nearby to buy little things for him so he will not feel lonely when we leave for office. We will open his books and will help him do his assignments for the day, his school time is 10am-12noon so he has enough time to do all that. After taking breakfast he'll go to his study table, get his pencils and crayons and start his never ending coloring of books. Have caught father and son during one of their bonding moments.
