When Depression Strikes!
Saturday, February 19, 2011
Once in a while one cannot deny that depressive attacks happen to them too. During a trip down to a mall a few weeks ago, I passed by National Bookstore to buy stuffs for Queenie’s project until I chanced upon these books which I grabbed and finally admitted that I was really depressed then. These books somehow helped me and now I’m up and feels alright! Do you also have some bouts with the big D? Or was I just experiencing PMS? Whatever!

Maintain a right attitude
Wednesday, May 26, 2010
I was truly blessed by Pastor John's message last Sunday entitled "Maintaining a Right Attitude" so I jotted down some notes on this.
According to Winston Churchill, "Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference." It's how we behave. It affects our vision and the way we treat others. Your attitude determines what you believe about God. Watch out for some warning signs of attitude going bad :
1. Easily gets irritated
2. You become overly sensitive
3. Your temper flares up
4. Your view of people begins to lower down, and thus
5. You develop a defeatist (loser) attitude.

She's a good friend, a God fearing Christian who I can call on anytime for help, support and advice.
It's alright, it's okay....I still love you anyway!!!
Whatever the outcome was which I knew was not the Lord's will and plan, always remember that I'll always be around to help and support you in case you'll need me again because I found a friend in you. You made me special!!!

Happy birthday friend!
Thursday, March 12, 2009
I met Tonyboy and Anna Aquino in the middle of last year at the church we previously attend. They were newbie members then. Because we both belong in the political and community service - he being a former Congressman of Tarlac from the famous and well respected Aquino clan whose father is the older brother of Ninoy Aquino, we shared the same interests. We became much closer then when we both transferred to our new church, The Next Generation International Christian Church where we work in the Outreach Ministry dedicated to serving and discipling less fortunate fellowmen in different communities sharing our blessings through feedings and gift giving and most of all sharing the word of God.
Last Friday, his wife Anna hosted a surprise birthday party for the Golden Boy held at the 34th floor of the Petron Mega Towers in Makati City with our church family and close friends from the political and military world. It was a night of fun music and brotherhood.
Here’s wishing you strenght, good health and continuous faith and service to the Lord.

It was participated in by students handpicked from different branches.This time it was held at Rajah Manila across with Mayor Alfredo Lim as Hermano Mayor and the School’s Directress Preciosa Soliven as Hermana Mayor.
My granddaughter Nadine, an incoming 6th grader at Sta. Ana Branch was among the participants and was named Ms. Faith. The weather then was stormy due to typhoon Cosme and we were just awaiting info of cancellation earlier that day but luckily pushed through because there was no expected downpour that happened.

Good Friday Church Service
Saturday, March 22, 2008
I was blessed to attend the 3pm Good Friday Service with my IBCM CHURCH family. A Lord’s Supper Memoriam by most of our Deacons and Baptist men was well prepared, organized and a scriptural narrative of the 7 last words was reflective of the Lord’s sufferings at the cross for us. The congregation also partook of the Lord's Supper feast.

We went to pay visit to my father-in-law today at the Manila Memorial Park Paranaque. We don*t normally go on November Ist to avoid the busy crowd and the traffic but unexpectedly (?) it was still traffic but I guess far more better than yesterday. Then, we headed to the wake of hubby*s first cousin Maritess a City Councilor of Sta. Rosa whose husband (Raul) an ex 3 time Councilor was ambushed last Sunday. He was the third (Mayor Arcillias, Councilor Gomez and Raul) in a span of 3 years.

A fine Sunday
Monday, April 23, 2007
It' was about 3 Sundays that I've missed the Church Services and I felt somewhat blessed. 2007 graduates were honored and recognized and the Pastor's message were taken from the following scriptures: Matthew 23:11-12 and Philippians 2:2-5 and revolved on the subject of Success by helping and building others FIRST. Isn't that quite difficult and sounds like a Godly deed. Hmmmmm... I was touched and felt a tingling pinch on this passage: "Do nothing out of selfish ambitions or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves" Ouch!
I and the kids were at Ginger's little Kisses 4th birthday.
