Mamsi's Here!!!

First stop, JOLLIBEE!

she ordered palabok fiesta. obviously,
it's longer to prepare than my chicken-spag!

After settling her things at home, she just had to visit the nail salon.  Right away, two persons are doing her manicure & pedicure... tutyal! :P

pampering time... coz it's always more affordable
in the Philippines!

Mom is staying here for a month.  I'm not sure where we can take her when my little girl has school, and I am in charge of an upcoming activity at work for the Chinese new year, which will require numerous coordination and perhaps, meetings.  Well let's see.  Welcome home, Sheena Ching! ;)

Today is my official 2nd time to be a godparent to a wedding.  Can't say "no" to Kate whom I've known from PNK when I transferred to the locale of Taytay.  It's flattering to realize that people trust you in terms of the advice you can give them in their life.  Her ex-boyfriend (who is now her husband) is not unfamiliar to me either.  I met Efren even way much earlier than Kate--- but fate must have been perfect for the three of us because I also met Ef in the same organization:  PNK.  I was asked to give a short message for the newly-wed earlier during the reception.  All I could say was their future kids will be lucky enough to have such responsible parents who always know how to take good care of little kids.

sumptuous food; my "kumpares" including Bro. Jojo

In my FB post about this occasion, I said:

Perks of always in attendance to weddings: you get to renew hearing God's instructions for a successful and blessed family life.  Perks of being a "ninong": aside from the trust the new couple gave you, you eat plenty without having to line up in the buffet station. ;)CONGRATULATIONS AND BEST WISHES, Ef & Kate!

Blessed Start of Year

Just finished attending the worship service for the reaffirmation of oath of all officers.  It's just perfect to be attending this holy occasion on the birth anniversary of our former leader, Bro. EGM.  Also, I am still in awe to the magnificent house of worship of the locale of Village East which was dedicated last year.  My family & I have returned here from being away for four years.
