Daddy's Corner ------> for my Honey







Hey! Hey! I'm finally doing this.. I think I'm doing it right.. Thanks Mitch for such a wonderful idea and thanks Love for your blog and saw this....

Well, where do I begin.. So many things i want to say ( kuwento ) about our Love Story of how my honey and I met... Let's just say that I knew him back in 1991 where I used to work at Mayor Daley Summer Job but I don't remember him.. He actually remembered that he was introduced to me by his girlfriend before( actually my coworker at that time). But then again, it wasn't the right time for us to be together.. And 1992 came, i was hospitalized - He said that he was there visiting me, coz his friend knew me and he just came along and he remembered watching me but we didn't talk ('coz i was asleep)Nyek!..7 yrs later June 1999-- we saw each other again at this one Karaoke bar.. and I already had my first child who was almost 4 yrs old at that time and now turning 13 ( and the father of my child and I just separated 1996).. Ever since June of 1999-- it was finally the TIME.. and we were inseparable. We like to do things together. He gave me the promise ring Sept of 1999 and we got married June 4, 2004. I want to thank the Lord for bringing him into my life. He is my best friend. And he always said that I'm his best friend too. It makes us both smile just knowing that we are each others buds. We can just talk to each other about everything. Don't get me wrong, we still have our ups and down but because God is in the center of our marriage. He is there to help us solve our problems...It maybe small or big. But we know that we cannot handle our problems without HIM. As we now know, God was and still is guiding each of us. We both accepted Lord as our Savior and it's the best feeling knowing that God is with us all the time. The meaning of " Fullness of Joy" is now in our hearts. Thank you Lord again for bringing us together.

Honey, thank you for everything. Thank you for being a great best friend to us especially to me. Thanks for bringing me with you all the time even if sometimes I make you feel like I don't want to hang out with you. I'm glad to be in business with you. Thank you for understanding. Thanks for the laugh. Thanks for all the surprises. Thanks for writing me love letters. Thanks for giving me everything. Thanks for setting goals with me and with our children. Thanks for keeping all your promises. Thanks for your sweet romance. Thanks for all your compliments. Thank you for loving us. Thanks for being patient. Thanks for having such a big heart and being the most generous person I know. Thanks for encouraging me. Thanks for praying for me and the kids. Thanks for praying together. Thank you for being such a wonderful dad to our kids especially to Destiny. Honey, you know that I am not very good with words... But just know that WE LOVE YOU..

Myanmar and China need your help!

Hi everyone,

Thought of sharing you the updates the I received today from World Vision about China and Myanmar. Let's continue to pray for the family and also the staff member of World Vision who also working tirelessly in difficult conditions to help those who are suffering.

Three ways you can help

Pray for children and families in China who have been affected by this deadly earthquake, and pray that aid agencies like World Vision would quickly acquire the resources they need to come to the assistance of those who have been left devastated by this disaster.

Donate now to help provide emergency relief to survivors of the recent earthquake in China. Your gift will help World Vision deliver life-saving assistance, including food, water, and shelter, to desperate children and families.

Give monthly to help World Vision deliver emergency aid to children and families in the wake of disasters around the world, like the recent quake in China.

I have been part of World Vision since 2005 and I Thank you Lord for another opportunity you have given us to help others. I am so grateful and bless for the opportunity to have had a part in impacting the lives of families in need.

Thank you and God Bless Us All!

Weekly Question 1

I was passing through my bestfriend's site who actually invited me to join her blog. ( plus i know she comes up and find a lot of cool stuff esp.when it comes to website) So I really thought It's fun to start doing this and I saw this... So I'd like to start doing this too.. lol....

It's a weekly question originated by Teacher of Julie at greenbucks

here's the question:

If you are married would you know if your husband is reading your blog? If you are in a relationship, would you know if your partner is reading your blog



My answer is.....

I think he does sometimes... See, my husband is pretty busy man but I know he does make times especially when it comes to us and his children...That -- he doesnt forget no matter how busy he gets.. I know at first he thought It was just another website thing.. but when he actually saw everything... ( He finally approved and actually thought it's pretty cool to do this... Sometimes when Im at home and doing my blog..He would sit next to me and start reading... lol...Sometimes he would even ask me If I blog something about him....


What about you? Does your husband or partner read your blog?

Ok-- this is it for now... Gotta get back to work...

Can't wait for the next one!


Char!

Memorial Weekend 2008

Hope you all had a blessed Long Memorial Weekend.... Well, here are some pictures and videos of our long weekend

Friday - May 23rd We took our grandma out to Little Quipo (Filipino buffet restaurant) for her 78th bday... She was soo happy that she didn't want to end the night. She finally met my brother's mother in law... Let's just say that they were chatting the whole night...



Saturday - May 24th My husband and i had our time alone and ate at Kyoki's Japanese restaurant. One of our favorite restaurant in Oakbrook. Yummy! Then we finally went home...But Kai --I can feel that she didn't want to stay home so I took her out to Target and bought some new videos for her while Des and Will stayed home. lolz...


Sunday - May 25th Today is the official last day of our home church, AOGIM and I know that God has a big plan for all of us, for his people. When one door closes, God always open another. It was a great service today. And I can't wait of what God has plan for us. We learned so much from everyone that was at AOG, learned so much from all the Pastors. God has been good to all of us. I just want to say Thank you Lord for guiding us and for giving us the opportunity to once again serve you. We love you Lord! We were supposed to stop by at my bestfriend Love's bbq but we had a family gathering at my inlaws. So we stayed there till night....I was actually looking forward to their bbq and of course to see her ( not just food. ok) ...Next time!

Monday -May 26th THANK YOU LORD FOR THE WEATHER! On our way there --we were praying 'coz we heard that we were gonna get some storm....But God is good! We didn't get no RAIN at all! ...We went to see my honey's ( boys) lol... It was nice to see some of them... It was actually my friend Tal and I that ( kinda) organized it.. So the boys can see each other again... It was nice to see them played some sports ( with their kids) this time...ha ha ha ha... I really didn't get to chat with my friend tal 'coz we were so busy with the kids but hey! thanks for the Halo halo Tal... that was good.. =) ...

Enjoy the pictures! Hope you and your family had a fun, safe and blessed memorial day weekend

Happy Mom's Day =)

I hope each & everyone of you had a wonderful day with your kids & ur loved ones. On this very special day I feel very blessed to be a mother to my 2 wonderful children. We all know that mother's love never ends. It's always there. And I am so glad. I love it when my mom and I would just talk and vent and get it out. Thank you mom for being an amazing mother at Every stage of motherhood. Thank you Des & Kalea, for giving me the chance to be a mother and loving me when I am not perfect. Thank you Honey..You are everything and above all I thank God that we are in this journey called "parenthood" together.

So, what did we do this weekend????

Friday - We had a FAMILY DAY/ Mother's Day at Odyssey Fun Club..We were there for almost 4 hours... We had so much fun just to be a kid again. Kalea took all her sister's tickets and got the ELMO for 500 tickets. lolzz


Saturday - Woke up early - got the kids ready and took my mom and my grandma to Heavenly Massage as our Mother's Day gift to them.. My grandma's first time to get her little foot spa done.. She was soo cute that she didn't want any color on her nails. My mom got her hair cut done and she's also the same way as her mom that she didn't want any color on her hair. But that's okay -- they always look beautiful with or without colors on their faces or hair. lolzz... They didn't want to have lunch tho coz we had another party to go to that afternoon. Met up with my honey at her Uncle's house in Oak brook to celebrate his cousin's first bday.... Went home around 4 pm...Relax and took a nap.... Dinner time at Uncle Jun's house to celebrate my cousin's 6th bday..Whew!! trust me -- I was sooo tired but it was all worth it.. I had a great time just chillin with my cousins and Aunts..... Kai played all night that she was sooo cute that even if she didn't know the kids.. She would go up to them and smiled at them...I bet if she only knew how to say it-- she would introduce herself...lolz...


Sunday - We went to church.... Kalea was awesome joining us for practice..She just grabbed the mic from us & started singing with her own baby words. ..She was singing and doing her praise & worship to Our Heavenly Father. Soo cute to see our children singing for the Lord. -- We had a good small group bible study service taught by Bro. Jesse. Here's the verse that we went over yesterday... Ephesians 6 "Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right" We had lunch at Taste of thai..receivd an hand made card from my kids..William started teaching Kalea to say "Nice to meet you & shake your hand at the sametime" ..So, she's been doing that to all of us and some people that she knows... lolz.... But you have to first say "Nice to meet you".... Right after we finished, I went to buy ingredients to cook for dinner... My parents in law came over to have dinner. So, i just made catfish sinigang ( filipino dish) and bought some dessert. They came over for dinner after Medieval Times ( gift from Mikey, their youngest son)....And then FINALLY --- my time alone with my hubby.... Thank you Lord for this wonderful blessed weekend.....

Here some of the pictures & short video of Kai that will tell you all about it.





Love you all! Char =)

It"s not easy....

Our walk with the Lord is not always easy. Many times we run into troubles, get distracted in this world because we forget to stay focused on our Lord who leads the way. Brothers and sisters, continue to pray. Stay close to HIM and He will protect you from all evil.

These are the some of the books that help me stay focused on Lord Jesus Christ

  • Bible NIV
  • The Power of a praying woman
  • Purpose Driven of life
  • For these tough times
  • Battlefield of the mind

Philippians 2:14

Do everything without complaining or arguing
