Nice. Awesome. Beautiful. I didn't fall asleep while watching this movie, because in most cases, 95% of all the movies I've watch, I fall asleep.

James Cameron (maker of Titanic). You Rock!

Run Then Eat, Makes You Feel Good, Not Guilty!

Today I have a brunch date with my discipleship girlfriends, I learned we are having buffet at Spiral (at Sofitel Philippine Plaza)

So I force myself out of bed at 5.45am this morning, grab DH to join me and ran for 1 hour at Mall of Asia By The Bay, just to compensate the buffet that I'm going to indulge! I did actually feel good, work out first then reward yourself!

Tomorrow, I'm flying out with DH and my babies. Vacation Rocks!

Happy New Year Everyone :) 

I look forward to 2010, another year of journey with my Master, my Lord, Jesus.

Wish List

When I saw this, my jaw fell.. sigh, I'm in love with this pair of ballerina flats from Chanel. I'm not a fan of flats but this one.. it will go so perfect with all black outfit that I usually wear whenever I travel.

And so, I started my search.. and found it! Excited ~

Ready for 2010?

Folks, we are nearing the end of 2009! Are your ready for 2010? I don't want to make resolutions but I always try to do my best to remember the important things that counts for "eternal".

For me, as it is an everyday reminder until God takes me home one day, I will have to keep on working/growing in these areas highlighted in RED. 

1 Corinthians 14:3:8

⁴Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. ⁵It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. ⁶Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. ⁷It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.  ⁸Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.

Yesterday while having our discipleship brunch at Edsa Shangri-la, two of my d-girls shared about their  friend, only 31 years old, passed away from brain aneurysm. It was a sudden death. She just gave birth 4 months ago to a baby girl. Her husband, family were all in shock and the grief is just overwhelming. Hours later after I finished all my errands for the day, the reality of death sinks in to me, and I thought, if it can happen to her, it can happen to anyone, including me, anytime, any moment. Am I ready? I thought about my young children.. I thought about my husband. Last night i had a long discussion with DH and I started to make "bilin". He looked at me and said "In case anything like that happens, either one of us go, God will take care of you, God will take care of me." Yeah, that's a profound truth, it is His promise. Then I felt better, and slept the night away..

The events today reminded me, live each day as if your last..

Held

This is not a new song, but i just recently re-discovered it and found this is one of the best Christian song, "Held" sang by Natalie Grant.

Now listen to this song.. It was about being HELD by God, in spite of the trials that we face here on earth.

Statements To Ponder

I just want to make it clear that I'm not judging Tiger Woods by the scandal that is going on around his private life now. But this particular article has some interesting statements that we can ponder..

 
WASHINGTON (AFP) – Tiger Woods, a global punch line for jokes in the wake of a humiliating personal scandal, must cope with being a target of ridicule before he can hope to regain his mystique as the world's top golfer.
Consider some of the Internet humor that over the past 10 days has turned the world's first billion-dollar athlete into a laughingstock and forced him to learn the hard way that money can not buy happiness.
Woods drives well on a fairway but doesn't fare well on a driveway. Rivals want to know the best club to beat Tiger. He hit a tree and a hydrant because he couldn't decide between a wood and an iron. His new nickname is Cheetah.
There are video what-ifs of how a dispute between Woods and his wife Elin might have looked and gossip-page reports of multiple women linked to all manner of extra-marital betrayals by Woods.
Privacy that Woods spent years protecting was shattered early on November 27 when he was taken to hospital after driving into a hydrant and a tree.
Woods denied the most sordid of stories as to what led to the accident, but hours after a voice mail was released by a woman claiming to have had an affair with the golf superstar, he released an apology for undetailed "sins."
"I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart," Woods said. "I've not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves. I am not without faults and I am far short of perfect. I am dealing with my behavior and personal failings behind closed doors with my family."

Woods often talks of learning from defeat after missing out on a golf title, but the lessons from this incident figure to dictate a major turning point in his life, even if the drama plays out behind mansion doors in a gated community.
Love, trust, loyalty and respect are not prizes that can be won on a golf course. Unlike a tournament title, once they are lost there is no guaranteed chance to reclaim them next year from wives, children, parents or supporters.

Woods will not return to golf until next year, when the world will focus on how well he performs after the scandal, just as it did earlier this year when he came back from a knee injury.
How well Woods the man handles the mess that his private life has become will likely determine how well he plays when he returns and whether or not he can recapture any level of the respect he spent a lifetime building.

Sweet Tooth: Bread Monster

If you love super moist and chewy chocolate chip cookie, read on!

I got these cookies from Ayala Alabang Saturday market. There's a stall with a nice guy (forgot his name) and he sells these yummy cookies. His brand is called Bread Monster.

 

 

As you can see, I'm eating halfway and taking pictures

It's one of the best I've tasted, not commercialized, not too sweet. I love that it breaks when you take it out from the plastic. Fresh and certified home-made. Owner said they also have a stall at Market! Market! 3rd Level.

In Love with: Kaiya Eve

The first time I read about Kaiya Eve at Daphne's blog, it was love at first sight. My instinct was to go to their website right away and research the whole line of clothing, who's the genius behind the designs and where to buy it! The designer is Kandi Lightner, and the brand Kaiya Eve is her daughter's name.

I must have spent about an hour doing it and was so convince that my Dear Daughter should have a set! Locally they are available at Shop Familia, a small kiddie store at La'o Center, just outside of San Lorenzo Village's gate in Makati.

I went to check it out to make sure the Pettiskirts are soft and wearable as it claims. When I saw it, I'm SOLD. These skirts are made of layers and layers of the softest chiffon. But I did not see the color that I like. The selection are pretty limited. I decided to buy on-line in US.

If you check their site, the brand has grown really popular among Hollywood celebrities, which includes Kimora lee Simmons!! Her daughters wearing Kaiya Eve Pettiskirts.

 
Dakota Fanning wore the skirt at the 2003 Teen Choice Award. After her photo appeared in People Magazine, Kandi Lightner received hundreds of orders from girls across the nation.

Going back to my purchase, this is what I chose for my Dear Daughter.. I chose a size 6, even though she's only 3 years old. From reviews, these skirts can be worn for years because of the elasticity.

Fast forward after a week and a half..Yey I'm so excited when it arrived. I am so kilig like it's my new dress hahaha

 

If you can only see her swirling and playing and tip-toeing with her new skirt. It was so beautiful and lovely!!

Now I'm in trouble because I am obsessing with this one..zebra print with pink lining! Good thing no size available.. yet! I want it again.

It's not very cheap, but definitely worth it.

A Little Girl Named Kaitlyn..

Kaitlyn Maher, she is the cutest girl, and knows how to give glory to her God at age 4. Now i think she's 5 years old.

  
The youngest ever Top 10 finalist of the hit TV show "America's Got Talent" when she was only 4, sings an original arrangement of the song "Above All" at Christian Fellowship Church's (CFC) Worship Concert on 5/1/09.

Amazing isn't she?! Hats off to her parents, I strongly believe that her parents are the number 1 influence-rs in her life and nurtured her talents and strengths.  Now I am motivated to teach my own daughter.

She performs a Christmas carol during the National Christmas Tree lighting ceremony in Washington December 4, 2008.
