Summer is here!

Hello readers ---please know that I blog most of the time at my friends blog (lovely) http://www.walk2remember.com/ -- so you can also go there..

well -- where do i begin...Friday-had lunch with my hubby and the kids at the office. My honey made lunch for all of us then I went back to work... Friday afternoon , i took my mom and the kids to my Folk Dance practice in Naperville... .. My Gosh! Can i just tell you that I was sore after the practice but It was so much fun. We did nothing but laugh. We practiced for 4hours. We are doing this for one of our convention coming up. (Cultural Dance Event). At first, we tried tinikling (bamboo dance) and they had me tried it first.. Oh man! I thought i was gonna go home without a leg..So then, we also tried Pandango. This one was easy-- that's only if you are okay to go home with no hair.. lolz ( just kidding). But yah, we all agreed on this one and we did good so far.. Next practice is tomorrow and the Saturday. Looking forward to it. Saturday -- we just went to Family party and did some errands for father's day. Sunday, we had a good service but before the service there was man that walked in our church and asking for help. He said that he needed a ride to Central and Belmont. We asked him if he can stay for service but he said that he needed to get home and get his medicine. So Martin and my hubby went to drop him off and gave him money to buy his medicine. After the service, I went to stop by for few minutes at Marge's house. She's helping me with some stuff for my little one's dedication this Sunday. After the service, we just went home.. My younger sister Christine wanted to go out to eat for Father's day but instead she ( for the first time..woooohooo)..went groceries with my daughter Destiny. I made a list for her to buy and she went and used her own money. So we just bbq at home with my parents. Simple but fun =) ....Ayyy, my sister's been coming to my house mostly everynite now for the past months and just hanging out which I don't mind at all but man!everynight..Oh goodness!..we been borrowing each other clothes.. ( I love it! ) ... Well, I guess for the next 3 wks will be busy bee for us.. Looking forwards to all the events coming up and hope to see all of you there..

Here's the update for our 2nd Outreach Church Picnic -- We already got the place for August 25...More information will follow. Please continue to pray for us that whatever we do or plan to help others is all in God's hand. We do it for the Glory of God.

Yesterday when I came home from work -- my daughter Destiny came up to me and showed me the letter she received from her Dad ( William) ... I was almost in tears when I read his letter to her...We can't thank God enough for giving us such a wonderful husband, friends, brother and father to everyone. I love you honey =)

And lastly, congrats to Destiny for hitting the high honor on your last quarter. We are so proud of you. We love you!

Have a good day everyone!

May God’s Light forever shine in your heart and upon you and yours! SMILE

We do not remember days, we remember moments

A time to celebrate the beauty, the gift and the blessing of enduring love.

Yesterday we celebrated our 3rd year wedding anniversary and it was also our 8 yrs being together. How time flies?? Actually, this year was my turn to plan. We try to take turns every year. We didn't really do something big this year but it was very special of what we did yesterday. Right after work , I went groceries and I called Destiny and told her that I will be cooking menudo ( William's favorite dish). Well, for the filipinos ( that's not easy to cook).. Too many ingredients. So, when I got home I told him that I have my gift for him. But he asked me if he can help me.. I said No, but he said that he wants to be part of it..So he can take the credit..lolzz.....So then, he started cutting and peeling the veggies and I started cooking and putting the ingredients to the pot... We were thinking if we should his mom and my mom to ask for help but we both said " No, let's do William and Charisma's style"... So, we were both reading the filipino recipe.. And waited for almost an hour just to make sure that the pork is tender... I was doing the tasting and William will do the 2nd tasting just to make sure also......lolzzz.. My mom kept calling and since she knows that it was our anniversary..I told her that " Mom, if i give you some-- that means-- its good"..if not, then don't ask anymore..lolz.. Well, guess what???? It was deliciosoooo... So my honey and Des went to drop off some menudo to my mother dear and she said that it was good except it needed more salt or fish sauce... But it was good!!!! Yipppeee......They both came back and my hunny took a shower before dinner so we can have our dessert after.. lolz.... Oh before I forget... The night before our anniversay- he gave me his gift, a simple letter and we both said our prayers for each other before we had our dinner...He always does! I think for the past eight years now.. He never once forget to give me short or long letter... hmmm, wish i can share it with you of what he wrote but it was very sweet and touching.. Then around 7:30PM.....Tin's been bugging me if she can come over and it's hard for the past months ( since she broke up with her ex)..She's been going to my house and just hang out.. Which i don't mind because Tin's fun to be with...She does nothing but laugh at you....ha ha ha ha....So she stayed till 11:30PM...

Anyways, sorry haven't been blogging..Been kinda busy -- Fun busy--i may say =) -- actually- been visiting some old friends and organizing some events. Lords willing - it'll be done before we leave for the cruise.

Here are some pictures from yesterday --- before and after menudo... Also, pics from my sis' graduation... So proud of her..=)

Thank you Lord for all the blessings. But most of all Thank you Lord for blessing me with a wonderful husband and two beautiful girls that balances me everday of our life.
