President Benigno Aquino III (PNoy) delivered his first SONA today. The Filipino people are full of hope as all were intently listening to every word he said. It will be a real great challenge for President PNoy to rule this land. My encouragement to fellow citizens is for us to pray for the leaders of our country. Their hearts are in the hands of our Creator and may they act accordingly for the Philippines to finally move forward.

I love seeing my husband and son bond during bedtime, just before we say our family devotion. Our son loves being read to. Yes, even now that he knows how to read himself. He does read by himself during day time. But now at 5, he either reads with us or prefers to be read to. A habit he got used to.
Marriage and Beyond’s favorite bookshop, OMF Lit will be celebrating its grand opening of the new OMF Lit Bookshop at the Ground Floor Main Mall (near SM Supermarket), SM City Pampanga on July 24, Saturday, 4PM
This weather disturbance might not have been as wrathful as Ondoy but it sure did some crazy tantrums as Cyclone Basyang killed 53 people to date. As much as our family is looking forward for the dry spell (El Niño) to end, we still cannot help but be weary over the coming typhoons that are set before us, as predicted by PAG-ASA, our country’s official weather forecasting arm. We have been praying that there will be no more repeat of what transpired during typhoon Ondoy. Even our little guy went asking during the times that it rained hard after Ondoy if we’re going to get flooded again.
When Cyclone Basyang (International name: Conson) hit the land last Tuesday evening, we were practically caught off guard. Although news did say that there will be an upcoming typhoon of sorts, it was not supposed to have a landfall anywhere close to the Metro. The wind went a-howling like crazy last Tuesday night and the roofs all over our neighborhood were having a frightening ensemble that threatens to do a wild flying episode for its climax.

When I posted the book review of Intimacy Ignited, Conversations Couple to Couple last month, NAVPRESS gave me the privilege once again to request for another book to review. I chose the novel, HOT by Laura L.Smith. But look at what NAVPRESS sent me! Four books! I received the novel, Hot and three other personal retreat books. Thank you, Navpress!
Here are some of the things people are saying about HOT:
In this day and age, no one wants to just be a number. The assigned numberson your plate are merely for identification, so why not get the identifyingfeature that you want? Read the rest of this entry »
Just one of the bonding moments of my boys. These are the few times that they are not roughhousing. They just love doing things together and are each other’s bestfriend. I am so proud of my husband and the kind of father he has become. His growing up with an absentee father sure did not stop him from becoming a great father to his son.
Yes, that is right. I got scammed by a certain Chinese woman from Harvard University. Fellow virtual assistants, beware of this outsourcer who will sweet talk you into doing a job for her and keep on delaying payments, agrees with you on terms and conditions initially. Then gets back at you during pay up time with the words “I have gone over budget for this project.” I just altogther told her to keep the $162 dollars to herself. Not because I don’t need the money. I’m doing my virtual assistant job precisely because we need the pay that I receive to help supplement the family income. Read the rest of this entry »
Here is a website that is currently making waves and parents should be made aware of - Omegle.com. Yesterday was the first time I visited the site and it surely gave me the creeps! All one has to do was head over the site, choose between text or video chatting and you are basically hooked up with a stranger online.
Our family day always fall on Mondays. We all slept in and called it our day off. We headed back to bed after breakfast. Father and son “Lego bonding,” while I finished a couple of chapters of Patsy Clairmont’s Kaleidoscope. Which by the way, I am going to post a review on real soon.
We left the house to hit the supermarket – the pantry needs to be replenished. I have been doing the grocery shopping by myself recently. But we figured we can all go together, even as the little guy requested to go visit the mall and play in one of the kids places there. Anyway, I was also due for follow up with the in house Dermatologist of Flawless who I saw last Saturday, in the same mall. The malls have really made things pretty convenient for consumers and I love how we save on gas just because everything is in one place already.
Before I headed to Flawless, my boys and I had our late lunch at Burgoo after grocery shopping. Jeff has been craving for Gambas lately and that’s what he ordered.
I spent the majority of this day sorting clothes from the little guy’s closet. This is something that mothers with growing kids have to get into doing every so often. I have already stashed away clothes that don’t fit him anymore and will soon be given away to friends who have toddler boys.
