Prayer for today...

I praise You God, that the things that happened in my past, both enjoyable and painful, are raw materials for blessings, both in my life and in the lives of others. I choose to look beyond my past and present troubles in this temporary life --- and fix my eyes on the unseen things that will last forever. I praise You for the eternal glory these things are piling up for me as I choose to trust You. [1 Thessalonians 5:18]

Dare ya to move...


Ok, been feeling [just a bit] down lately BUT this news cheered me up. NEED to save money. No more food for a month or so. Heee. I'm not an uber fan but just to hear Dare You To Move and Only Hope live will just be a BIG SIGH moment. I wish SisterM is here. My concert buddy. Oh well. Anyone wannna watch it with me? I would buy you a ticket but I don't have extra right now. Heee. God Bless us always.

Happy Images...


Hmmmm...my virtual guy...I know he's known for his womanizing ways ... but I still like him ... heee ... can you blame me?



My nephew Dylan...sucha rowdy 4-year old...


SisterJ and Nadoinks...


His CD was playing non-stop while I was napping yesterday afternoon ... hmmm ... I love his music...


Men on the wall..this one is on SisterM's side of the wall...she used to be on the top bunk of our double-decker bed...these men always stare at her...heee...I bet she misses them. I miss her lots too.


FRIENDS on the wall...also, there's Alanis, Alicia Keys, Stephen Speaks, Collective Soul and of course, Jom...

Ever had a dream that when you wake up and remember it...you just start crying? That's what happened to me yesterday. I prayed while I was crying. Even had to ask God...why the dream happened? Why that guy had to be in that dream? Sigh. The worst dream so far for me...more like a nightmare.

4105 emails from NG as of last night. We're not slowing down as of yet. It works for us so far. We get our off moments on chat but it's been great in general. Sometimes, you just can't be THAT talkie but you don't wanna be NOT online either. Crazeeee. Happy sigh.

Anyhoo, that will be it for now, short and sweet. Have a fine week. Thanks for dropping by again. God Bless us and our country ALWAYS. Let's all move to Yemen. [heee]

3rd of July...

Nadine before...


Nadine now...


SisterJ and my cousin Sam...


SisterM and Sam...

I started this post around 4am...it's now 5:28am and I'm still at it. It's a brand new month. Half of 2005 is officially over. WOW. That was fast.

How was the first half of 2005 treated you? I hope it's been ok. Mine has been good. The usual financial problems here and there but it was good in general.

I had to do a little tweaking on my blog template...changed the colorblocks for my faces. Heee. More of that in the future.

On a sad note, my cousin Sam [September 7, 1987 - June 29, 2005] passed away a few days ago. She was supposed to have a heart surgery. She was 17. She loved to draw and was actually good at it. She made paperdolls and paper/cardboard castles for Nadine. In return Nadine made her paper bags. Sigh. Sam grew up with us. She stayed with us 'til she was about 6 years old then she moved to the province. Three years ago, she came back here in Manila to have her heart checked and a possible operation. She stayed here at our house from time to time whenever her Mom needed to go back to the province. Sam didn't even make it to our Lola's funeral last year coz the doctors didn't think it would be safe for her. I remember she was so sad when we had to leave her behind for that. She spent lotsa time with our Lola growing up. At least, now they are together with our creator in heaven. That's a comfort to know. May you rest in peace Samantha. Oh well.

How do you deal when someone close to you die? I know that death is inevitable but we are never ready when it's time for someone we cared about. I've been praying about that time that I or my family be ready for that inevitable part of our lives.

Oh well. Life is short and sometimes sudden. That's why we have to be good to our neighbors and do good things to people in general. Luke 6:31 all the way.

Leaving you with today's prayer:
Thank You Father, that the Lord Jesus Christ demonstrated how I am to live and serve. May You strengthen my heart in every good work and every good word, so that more and more I may honor You by the way I live.

Thanks for dropping by. God Bless us always. Keep the faith. May we all have a fine July.

For Some Reasons...

That I don't know...my ripway files are gone. Man, have to fix the colorblocks this weekend. I'm too lazy to do it right now. I'm pissed and all but this is all free service...can't do much about that. I'm not complaining just venting. heehee. God Bless everyall. Keep the faith. Yep.
