<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
"God meets our deepest needs
by giving us mercy for security and grace for significance". This is
daddy's favorite power point after attending the 10 weeks program of
Training for Victory. Indeed, through these years I've seen how God has been
merciful to daddy (the same mercy that covers my multitude of sin and
shortcomings) and how His grace sustained this man. In my heart, I trusted God
to come through and make His way into his heart and into his life. By now I
know, you’re saying “amen” because He certainly came through. Thank You Lord
for being a faithful God that you are, in faith that You who began the good
work in daddy will carry it out into completion. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Side kwento, as much as I wanted
to peek into his speech, there’s a strong prompting for me to leave it into his
own learning. And I realize, God wants to amaze me. Sharing my fave part of his
speech:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<i>This T4V journey is the only school that does not limit any
individual’s capacity, age, living and even profession for as long as you
respond to His call and surrender your life to Him. The seed that has been
planted to everyone would stand as a strong foundation in reaching out people
and bringing God’s kingdom to the whole world. Completing this course, being
equipped and empowered are just continuation of the race. As we go out of our
comfort zone – students will invade academe, professionals and businessmen will
be engaging corporate world and parents will definitely cultivate obedience and
faith to their children.</i></div>

Great capture by Daddy! At 7, I am open to the idea that I may have fewer moments like this, fewer hugs, fewer kiss, fewer times that Ishi will need my comfort, approval or my presence :( on her special days. I realized, it’s not really easy letting go of your kids and even this part needs God’s grace….
Psalm 127:4 “Like an arrow in the hands of a warrior are children born of one’s youth.” Warriors prepare their arrows, making sure they are sharp and pointed to hit the target, but even how good the specs of the arrow had become, if the warrior does not aim and release them, it will not accomplish its purpose.
Lord, help us train our kids, help us to point them to the target, to You and your purpose, and give us grace to release them.shanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09973020211433501316noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333070372853441141.post-57274019330413862892012-05-15T07:04:00.000-07:002012-05-15T07:04:08.239-07:00Mothers Day 2012Every first time experience with hubby is a moment to treasure.

Of course first time has small discomforts called “thrill” . We don’t know what to order, where’s the entrance, etc., but I must say these makes my Mothers Day so much fun and memorable. Thank You to Daddy who lavished me with so much love and appreciation, I have a long way to go in being a Mom but because Jesus, I am free to progress as a good mom. Hooray to all the Mommies in the world!!!! Special greetings to my own Mama :)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I almost cancel this day out because of a terrible act she did but remembering God's mercy to me,of how He want us to minister to our kids even in difficult season made me decide to push through with my plan. The plan was to go out of Dasma and try a different momi-baby bonding. Back to being traditional, i envision museum hopping (if there's such a term) + Childrens Playground.
On our way to our first stop, ishi was making "kulit" about our itenerary, but my answer was always " Basta, surprise na lang, you'll like it". Metropolitan museum is closed, we headed right to our second destination..Museong Pambata. Thanks to pictures that can send a thousand message of ishi's happiness :)

These are Ishi's highlights. But for me, it was the hug repentance, and promise that she will behave that made this day. My extravagant (highlight of the highlights) is when she say "Mommy Thank You, when i become a mom, I will also bring my daughter to alike trip, your Apo". Thank You so much Lord. I did not deserve this, this just really about how you love Ishi and me!

Denise is Ishi's cousin by her Tito Mel and Tita Che. Tita Che was 3 months pregnant on our wedding Jan 2005. Ishi is still at my tummy when we had our first glimpse of our tisay pamangkin at MMMC Nursery on July 2005. You'll agree that its the 4 months gap that made them close and bonded. My prayer for the gurls is that they will continue to be bonded even more than being a cousins, that they will look on one another, bearing each other weakness and supporting one another to fulfill God's purpose in their life.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I first thought of “Book Sale” but dismiss the idea to buy a second hand book for a bday gift. And so I headed to expressions. I got a few savings on my allowance that day so I also decided to buy ishi a book too…little that I know, the promptings didn’t die because I will find these books that will be our legacy books (from Max Lucado) for little gurl.<br />1.God Thinks You’re Wonderful – I like the book for myself hehehe :). It’s a book you can probably carry along and in case you feel bad, discouraged, it only takes a few pages to realize again that God is fond of you, loves you, and cares for you!!! It’s my prayer that ishi will read this and live by these truth!!!<br />2.Just In case You Ever Wonder – Ah! This is a Daddy-Little Gurl bonding book. It’s a narration of a dad’s warm message of comfort and love for a very special person God sent him to take care of…<br />In our personal message written in both books, we desire that Ishi will know, love and obey Jesus and how thankful we were for having her as a daughter…Thank You Lord!shanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09973020211433501316noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333070372853441141.post-19095594937371056112011-04-16T20:45:00.000-07:002011-04-16T20:46:41.628-07:00<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" bgcolor="#ffffff"><tr><td><a href="http://smilebox.com/play/4d6a51774f5459354d7a593d0d0a&blogview=true&campaign=blog_playback_link" target="_blank"><img width="386" height="303" alt="Click to play this Smilebox photo album" src="http://smilebox.com/snap/4d6a51774f5459354d7a593d0d0a.jpg" style="border: medium none ;"/></a></td></tr><tr><td><a href="http://www.smilebox.com/?partner=smilebox&campaign=blog_snapshot" target="_blank"><img width="386" height="46" alt="Create your own photo album - Powered by Smilebox" src="http://www.smilebox.com/globalImages/blogInstructions/blogLogoSmileboxSmall.gif" style="border: medium none ;"/></a></td></tr><tr><td align="center">This <a href="http://www.smilebox.com/http://www.smilebox.com/" target="_blank">photo album</a> generated with Smilebox</td></tr></table>shanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09973020211433501316noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333070372853441141.post-80908966571121261812011-04-16T01:00:00.000-07:002011-04-16T01:02:24.278-07:00Congrats Our 1st Honor<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" bgcolor="#ffffff"><tr><td><a href="http://smilebox.com/play/4d6a51774f4449334d44513d0d0a&blogview=true&campaign=blog_playback_link" target="_blank"><img width="386" height="303" alt="Click to play this Smilebox scrapbook" src="http://smilebox.com/snap/4d6a51774f4449334d44513d0d0a.jpg" style="border: medium none ;"/></a></td></tr><tr><td><a href="http://www.smilebox.com/?partner=smilebox&campaign=blog_snapshot" target="_blank"><img width="386" height="46" alt="Create your own scrapbook - Powered by Smilebox" src="http://www.smilebox.com/globalImages/blogInstructions/blogLogoSmileboxSmall.gif" style="border: medium none ;"/></a></td></tr><tr><td align="center"><a href="http://www.smilebox.com/scrapbooks.html" target="_blank">Free digital scrapbook</a> generated with Smilebox</td></tr></table>shanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09973020211433501316noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333070372853441141.post-52991764511769072092011-02-10T22:36:00.000-08:002011-02-10T22:37:44.554-08:00Ishi's Scrapbook<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" bgcolor="#ffffff"><tr><td><a href="http://smilebox.com/play/4d6a49344d544d304d6a6b3d0d0a&blogview=true&campaign=blog_playback_link" target="_blank"><img width="386" height="303" alt="Click to play this Smilebox scrapbook" src="http://smilebox.com/snap/4d6a49344d544d304d6a6b3d0d0a.jpg" style="border: medium none ;"/></a></td></tr><tr><td><a href="http://www.smilebox.com/?partner=smilebox&campaign=blog_snapshot" target="_blank"><img width="386" height="46" alt="Create your own scrapbook - Powered by Smilebox" src="http://www.smilebox.com/globalImages/blogInstructions/blogLogoSmileboxSmall.gif" style="border: medium none ;"/></a></td></tr><tr><td align="center">Create your own free scrapbook design</td></tr></table>shanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09973020211433501316noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333070372853441141.post-29772385512763863202011-02-09T22:52:00.000-08:002011-02-09T22:54:16.110-08:00<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" bgcolor="#ffffff"><tr><td><a href="http://smilebox.com/play/4d6a49334f5441774d6a4d3d0d0a&blogview=true&campaign=blog_playback_link" target="_blank"><img width="386" height="303" alt="Click to play this Smilebox scrapbook" src="http://smilebox.com/snap/4d6a49334f5441774d6a4d3d0d0a.jpg" style="border: medium none ;"/></a></td></tr><tr><td><a href="http://www.smilebox.com/?partner=smilebox&campaign=blog_snapshot" target="_blank"><img width="386" height="46" alt="Create your own scrapbook - Powered by Smilebox" src="http://www.smilebox.com/globalImages/blogInstructions/blogLogoSmileboxSmall.gif" style="border: medium none ;"/></a></td></tr><tr><td align="center">Make a free scrapbooking design</td></tr></table>shanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09973020211433501316noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333070372853441141.post-55958448972637534932010-11-06T00:48:00.000-07:002010-11-06T00:59:50.483-07:00Field Trip Ko<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3bm6zFkaxaiejCUFvmf-WWh6aXDcv7Jd-zA2ePQVqzDVN02ETbxyljn_6w4xERzUjfcuoKopDzYo4Vegsi7ajHjoOzvM4apJBdCV6Gce2GpudV9rLwQpouECKhXhBn-wPkCs0B1gQcDNf/s1600/field+trip.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

Everytime we go to Batangas and passed by the place, street is jumpack, staff busy with assisting cars that will vacate the spot and a new car waiting. Thank you Lord for blessings us to enjoy breakfast at Bag of Beans....Mold our hearts to love each other more, to bear each other's weeknesses, to not give up forgiving one another just as you patiently do. Protect our love, build our family be honored always as we commit to grow in our relationship with you and with our relationship.

We give thanks this 2010, you gave us Inno, our first family car. We give all the credit to you. You chose to show faithfulness despite our inconsistent prayer night at the car port. You taught us to seek you earnestly during the last prayer and fasting week and build us in faith that a contrite heart you will not despise, that You our Heavenly Father who does not withdraw His only Son Jesus Christ, how much more being graciuos with all things? Thank you for giving us the desire of our heart.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Lord, Inno is big revelation of a God that You are, the God that hears prayer, the generous God from which all blessings flow. I remember surrending Ruel to you, acknowledging that its between you and Ruel. That i"ll just be an intercessor. when i had that doubt about you being in control, you lift my head up high to you. Thank you. You held daddy's heart in your hands...its a joy to see that he experienced what a Dad you are.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Father, we ask that You continue to mold us to be a good steward of your blessing, may we joyfully share it with our family, friends, and church. We declare that all people who will ride with us will equally received your blessing, will feel your presence, acknowledge Your goodness, and security over your protection.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Lord, we claim that as you give wealth, there's no trouble into it...that Inno will not be a burden to us...but a continuous blessings. It will be your deployed angels who will safe guard us and Inno. By standers will take a second look as Inno passed by..."something is different in this car?!" Yes there is, yes it is, because its from the Lord.</span>shanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09973020211433501316noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333070372853441141.post-36884108168198074872009-05-14T21:14:00.000-07:002009-05-14T22:43:58.270-07:00Ishi At Camp<p><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzTYDyO1SECgtsHHTFmeUjW03FNbPob08QoF5d-B_e9MyvKXJ4MyC8ZwuEVha1md3wOTmMwiDYDIfiMibJisw' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></p><p>Before going to my California trip, i grabbed the chance to go with ishi on her second week at school.

What a struggle for working moms like me???!!!</p><p></p><p></p>shanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09973020211433501316noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333070372853441141.post-52841692876254227182009-01-11T20:28:00.000-08:002009-02-07T22:45:50.981-08:00Our Someting Great Last 2008<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMI7VOmzE-7XP-HNzl_8MAgWsybsWs60892oaYCBV9PlXtuyND5QsVviusIexXFVcovpMo9nIqV9gbr6Qf_c4-Y6IM64nDQMdIZvMm618f_er9OTvrSKTCvb-704cjD56ECq3D-1-HYAhe/s1600-h/chester+001.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5300310438502046978" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMI7VOmzE-7XP-HNzl_8MAgWsybsWs60892oaYCBV9PlXtuyND5QsVviusIexXFVcovpMo9nIqV9gbr6Qf_c4-Y6IM64nDQMdIZvMm618f_er9OTvrSKTCvb-704cjD56ECq3D-1-HYAhe/s200/chester+001.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFJGAgwkXOKDRsedpBWuooLVC1j61JH8q8zWP0c88N2CtRANSOi8QVRcFGctz_O_c_5xulyyCFo_sCYYMIo_bI4JeU9tYprxwds4e1pBVCVe0A1mDy1lDsCdPDcj3vq6WPh8CpvugiY6pg/s1600-h/chester+002.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5300310031266640098" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFJGAgwkXOKDRsedpBWuooLVC1j61JH8q8zWP0c88N2CtRANSOi8QVRcFGctz_O_c_5xulyyCFo_sCYYMIo_bI4JeU9tYprxwds4e1pBVCVe0A1mDy1lDsCdPDcj3vq6WPh8CpvugiY6pg/s200/chester+002.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-family:arial;">I know I know this an overdue post...<br />Nevertheless, the gratitude never fades for God's faithfulness...<br />Here's our prayer of thanks for God from whom all blessings flows:<br /></span><br /></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:verdana;">Father in heaven, your glory appears in this place, though the universe cannot contain you, you appoint this place to show your faithfulness and your goodness.<br />We give thanks as we remember how you paved this day according to your pleasing and perfect plan...today we moved in to your blessing.<br /><br />3 years we've share homes with other families...you touched their hearts to care for us.

Actually it was the "utang" honeymon. (Because of the demand of going instantly back to work and the big baby ishi surprise and all is history)…here it is… May 5-7 Coco Beach Puerto galera, Oriental Mindoro…<br />May 5- Our feet rested on Manila hotel as early as 6am..talk about being excited hehehe..45 mins ahead of the pick up time..we decided to hurried off the coffee shop for breakfast.<br />6:45 balik lobby na kami. Few minutes passed then came 2 tourist bus. We thought guest who would attend a scheduled convention sa hotel, until the hotel staff announced.."Coco Beach?!!"<br />Fortunately, we did not encounter heavy traffic at ssh, but teka why the detour on Balagtas, di ba we’re heading the Batangas port? Kaya pala, Coco Beach has it’s own port at Tabangao.<br />To ride in a big banca was another first for me. Waahh..nahilo ako pag akyat pa lang… Guess fear of water will always creep on those who don’t know how to swim like me. The sight, God’s promises and the anticipation of what’s in the end of our sea journey made an enjoyable banca ride. Hehehe si Ruel pala ang di nag-enjoy, I made him nervous pala with me frequently asking if "malakas na ba ang alon?". He thought I was freaking out. Bwahahaha….<br />From a distance, images of nipa hut on mountain appeared.. Everyone became thrilled!! Yahoo lapit na kami…<br />11:30 am Coco Beach Express crew reached for our hands to assist us as we rode off the banca, resort staff then lead us to Carabao Restaurant for registration. On our way, we were greated with:<br />"We welcome you to the Coco Beach place, a very nice place the Coco Beach Place.." As promised, they supplied us with a welcome drink plus a garland made out of shell…hay feeling expat…hehehehe..<br />After satisfying our complaining stomach, we were led to our room. 90% of the room are nature’s room, made of nipa hut, no aircon, just e-fans with wide windows for ventilation, no tv..on noh? No tv? Looks like we’ll miss PBB for 2 nights, not to mention (ruel, a boxing fanatic in panic mode) the dela joya and mayweather fight.<br />After a 2 hour nap, we’re in our swimming pieces to try the beach. The white sand is beautiful, clear water but daming algae…they exist abundantly sa hapon kaya pala foreigners are using the pool.<br />And so we tried the silent pool. You have to take mga 30 steps up to reach the silent pool. Halfway, we noticed the gym equipments, cool, sarap siguro mag exercise with the sea as the view. So nice and silent pool, there’s a jacuzzi, a bar, beds are around if you want to read lang. We stayed up to closing. Just enough time to prepare for dinner.<br />Best about dinner at Coco Beach is the ambiance. Incandescent lamps around sets the romantic mood and fresh air that your lungs would want to contain forever. Luckily our first night is bound to be enjoyed as a party night because of the GM’s bday celebration. Another pleasant thing about the resort is the good relationship of the management with their employees. The fact that the party is for Coco Beach staff. Am I assessing too soon? Hehehe…Guess the free cocktail drinks they prepared for us is a big deal for me. After a few drinks and sounds..hay tipsy na ako…di na namin natapos yung disco part, sobrang lakas tama na ako…..<br />Awaken by the endless chirping of birds is such a delightful way to start day 2, may 6. Nature indeed is a lavish expression of God’s love. Time to devour the breakfast buffet….hehehehe!!!<br />It’s a filipino menu but still we enjoy breakfast kahit na usual…I supposed its more on we don’t have to hurry going to office kaya pleasurable ang breakfast…Much okay to swim in the morning, malayo ang mga algae sa seashore…however late na rin pala ang 8am…may risk na ng sunburn kaya we took pictures na lang.<br />We spent the whole morning separately. Ruel requested to occupy the bar not to miss the dela joya and mayweather fight while I stayed on the poll area and go over the last few chapters of my book "The Bondage Breaker" Pati list of reference nabasa ko na but di pa start ang main fight. Well if you can’t beat the boxing fan, join him. Pitiful to watch dela joya accept mayweather’s strong punches, but in fairness, guwapo pa rin c golden boy. Bad mood kami when mayweather was declared as the winner…Our frustration was drag to late lunch. Hehehe such an excuse to excesive eating…Before we took a nap, we made an itinerary so we can maximize our remaining day at Coco Beach.<br />3pm came first on our list is a short leisure walk to locate the different amenities of Coco Beach and of course document our stay with our cam. Were able to track down the hanging bridge, tennis court, encountered villagers working at the Coco Beach Factory, water treatment plant and day care center. We realized, Coco Beach is more on a community, opening their lives/accommodating guest everyday. This explained the service family (yes family) guest can always ask for assistance like housekeeping and etc.<br />Opps 4 pm time to avail the Buy 1 Free 1 cocktail at the silent pool. Ruel and I loved this place…di kc sya crowded like the 3 big pools near the beach. You can really relaxed like a scottish reading a book and sipping his drink when we arrived. Life is perfect for a few minutes, sipping our tall glasses while on a jacuzzi. But with a low tolerance to alcohol…ngek di ko man lang nakalahati ang drinks ko. Before the bartender left, he advised that we could stay up to 7 pm. Time for dinner! Something to look forward because of the in-house group who’s doing table hopping to serenade the guest. I requested a happy song and they gave a wonderful production number with the song "Build me Up, Buttercup".. We stayed at the seashore for a little while to savour the calm environment of the night…hay uwi na kami tomorrow…but hey we still have a few hours left and we want to make "sulit’ the sea kaya we decided to be early on bed to be early din sa sea tomorrow.<br />May 7 , 6 am rise and shine….its time for the sea episode! Perfect, we were one of the early guests on the sea. Since pareho kaming hindi marunong lumangoy, super pretend in swimming ng nakaupo hehehe…Enjoy talaga! Sun is just peeping so perfect to enjoy swimming..enough not to shiver of cold sea water…and syempre.. perfect also for picture taking. Feeling ko highlight ni Ruel ang moment na to so I let him and become busy with finding interesting shells I can show Ishi back in Manila..<br />Our last breakfast was Western Menu..because it’s the last free meal..we over indulged..hehehe The rest of the morning was spent packing, and checking (to the nth time) if we missed anything. We calculated our time, forecasting a 3-4 hrs travel, we decided to have our lunch before we take our banca ride. I requested for the ginataang shrimp but their expected delivery did not arrive, well sinigang tanguige was just fine for a replacement.<br />Little sad to leave and end our great time in Coco Beach, but as the saying goes "some good things never last", but our excitement to see our little girl surface. I enjoyed the banca ride pauwi. One last look at the endless sea…From Tabangao they provided a van to transfer us back to manila.. More convenient and reduce transpo time that shorten our excitement to embrace and kiss Ishi again.
