Reassuring Presence

As I was walking on my way to work, trying to calm and reason with myself, soft breeze and falling leaves swept me. And I just knew, You were with me. 

Nothing

It's so hard to write when you're really not inspired...

"Green"

Visita Iglesia 2011

365 BaC: Feb 23-24

Sad to say, I wasn't able to capture any photos for 2 days... :(

365 BaC: Financial Planning

022211: Here are the different computations that we need to study and present to our "financier." This part is crucial...

365 BaC: Drawing Lots

022111: Picking out a lot is not as easy as "drawing lots." It needs careful consideration of the location, perspective, security and ventilation. So, which should we choose?

365 BaC: Sunday

022011: Most people say that Sunday is Family Day. After going to Sunday service, we went to a toy store, and Xander enjoyed trying out the big toys.

365 BaC: Tripping at Nuvali

021911: This is the man-made lake at Nuvali where you can ride taxi boats instead of  shuttle vehicles.  In search for a permanent home, we had our first "tripping" or house viewing at Nuvali Settings and Village. I am really getting excited for our very own home.

365 BaC: Chick Flick Night

021811: As a post valentine celebration, we were given free tickets for the movie "Just Go With It." I'm not a huge fan of Aniston when it comes to movies, but I enjoyed what we watched that night.

First Blood ni Otep

thank you kuya otep for sharing your blessings to us.
to the yummy food, good times and good company -- cheers!

365 BaC: "SAVIOR"

021711: "Why ask for my name if you can't spell it right?" -- This has always been (or almost always)  my problem with the baristas of Starbucks. Good thing, our drink was prepared perfectly. :) (I don't know how to rotate this photo so I'll just post it this way).

i know

though I'm walking through the valley
of the darkest hour I've known
Lord don't You leave me all alone
when I'm surrounded by the shadows
that seem to feed my fear
i will trust You
though I may not feel You here

but I know that Your love is unfailing

o I know Your grace is so amazing

o I know even though my faith be shaken

o I still know I’ll never be forsaken
‘cause You’re always faithful
I know

when my bed has been floating
on the flood of all my tears
seems as though my joy has disappeared
still I will not put my hope
in what I feel or see
i will cling to You
and Trust You’re holding me

cause I know that Your love is unfailing
o I know Your grace is so amazing
o I know even though my faith be shaken
o I still know I’ll never be forsaken
‘cause You’re always faithful
I know

i worship You
i look to You
i trust You with m life
i worship You
i look to You
come lift my head up high

Lord I don’t know where I’m walking
but I’ll take it day by day
and I’ll hold Your hand
and You will lead the way

and I know that Your love is unfailing
o I know Your grace is so amazing
o I know even though my faith be shaken
o I still know I’ll never be forsaken
‘cause You’re always faithful
I know

365 BaC: You're My Number One

021611: Today, we're officially changing Xander's milk from Gain Plus Advance to Nido Jr. as advised by our Aunt, who's a doctor. Primarily because it has less sugar compared to Gain. We are cautious with  Xander's diet, specially when it comes to sweets because we have a family history of diabetics. 

365 BaC: Bills Bills Bills

021511: I received my first pay check today. Yey! I'm officially a working mom. It's time to zero out our bills... Which reminds me, I should revise my blog description during free time. 

if i stand

there's more that rises in the morning than the sun
and more that shines in the night than just the moon
there's more than just this fire here that keeps me warm
in a shelter that is larger than this room

and there's a loyalty that's deeper than mere sentiments
and a music higher than the songs that I can sing
stuff of Earth competes for the allegiance
i owe only to the Giver of all good things

so if I stand let me stand on the promise that you will pull me through
and if I can't, let me fall on the grace that first brought me to You
so if I sing let me sing for the joy that has born in me these songs
and if I weep let it be as a man who is longing for his home

and there's more that dances on the prairies than the wind
and more that pulses in the ocean than the tide
there's a love that's fiercer than the love between friends
more gentle than a mother's when her baby's at her side

and there's a loyalty that's deeper than mere sentiments
and a music higher than the songs that I can sing
the stuff of Earth competes for the allegence 

i owe only to the Giver of all good things

so if I stand let me stand on the promise that You will pull me through
and if I can't let me fall on the grace that first brought me to You
and if I sing let me sing for the joy that has born in me these songs
and if I weep let it be as a man who is longing for his home

so if I stand let me stand on the promise You will pull me through
and if I can't let me fall on the grace that first brought me to You
and if I sing let me sing for the joy that has born in me these songs
and if I weep let it be as a man who is longing for his home

and if I weep let it be as a man who is longing for home

365 BaC: Special Delivery

021411: These bunch of lovely roses were specially delivered to our office this afternoon. My dadimi never fails to buy me flowers but today's the first time he surprised me at work. Thank you so much mahal. I love you.
Here's my signature carrying-a-bouquet pose. :)

Celebrating Love

my handsome dates

want some butter?

Gambas. Really yummy but serving was kinda small. 

Paella. It's good but I'm not really into this.

we also had one serving of tasty salpicao.
the verdict: food was good but I think the serving size was too small for its price.
my hubby felt suffocated because the place was too small. there were also musicians serenading the guests with spanish songs, which my hubby found a little distracting.
i guess, i would still recommend the place to all my romantic friends, but it's just not what we're looking for...

Location:Casa Armas, Malate

365 BaC: Hot Air Balloon

021311: Xander says "hi" to the giant mushroom as it rises from the ground. 

365 BaC: Morning Splash

021211: Father and son having a morning splash. We didn't wake in time for the hot air balloon fiesta so we just decided to  take a swim (it's actually them swimming, and me taking pictures). I just love it when they have fun together. :) 

365 BaC: Tickets for Two and a half...

021111: For our unplanned weekend family date, I rushed to SM Makati after office to get tickets for two and a half people :D Hot air balloon fiesta, here we come!

365 BaC: Headlines

021011: Do we really need a "kinder, gentler Senate?" How about more upright, honest, trustworthy, efficient, or humble?
