Our Wedding Plans!

I just want to share my overwhelming happiness! It's about me and my love planning to settle down late next year. For five years of going steady, finally.. God granted us our most awaited dream! Let me share with you the things I've listed down regarding our 1 year plan before our wedding. We discuss this during our Fridates! Well, my boyfriend is a very organized person so we preferred to plan everything this way, from target dates to target budget and pray for the plan every time we finish discussing and brainstorming. October 31, 2010 - Hsiang Yi's flight to Taiwan to gather his family and express his intention of getting married.

"Bathe Me, I'm Dirty"

Last two weeks ago, i had this wonderful experience. It was when we had our VCS (Vacation Church School) at our church which lasted for a week. The kids who attended were from the church but most of them were from the outreaches, so you would imagine how we, teachers, managed the class to become acquainted and be friends with each other because most of them really are too poor to have their clothes changed for the next day. So this is what we did. We decided to collect old clothes from our church members, bought soap, shampoo and powder so that we could bathe them before our classes start the next day. Tuesday came and the kids were already around waiting for us to bathe them. I still couldn't forget the feeling that I had for these kids, I was like a mother who cared for my own children. They were like yearning for water and soap that they were so excited to indulge in the water from the hose. I, Rona and KC started to bathe them using a hand towel to brush away the

Just Reflecting....

Lovelife.. Hmmmm.. It's been a long time since I wrote something about this. Okay, let me start talking. =) I do have a boyfriend. Yes, i do.. and we are actually moving on our 5th year anniversary together. Yeebah! As I recall, 5 years ago, we were on our "Cloud 9 years" as they call it. Happy all the time and seemed to be around each other always. But looking back to those years, the "cloud 9 moments" are gone. I'm not saying that we are in bad terms these days. No... It's just that I could say, that our relationship has gone into a level where in we both learned from our mistakes in the past. From childish relationship into a serious one. I could still recall when there are people who tried to destroy us, well, they nearly did... but thank God that we stayed strong together. I realized that in relationship, two must be open with each other.. Yes, communication is very much essential in order to grow. It's hard sometimes to have a foreigner boyfri

The Joy of Ministering to Children

I had this very funny and cute experience from our school camp. It was an overnight camp just at our school campus. Ang daming enjoyable activities na tlgang naenjoy ng mga bata. The night came for the kids to sleep. They brought their own sleeping bags, pillows and blankets, even stuffed toys so they could enjoy the stay. But there was this kid, a 4yr-old boy who couldn't sleep. He was walking around the room, wide-awake when he realized his playmates were all asleep already. That's why, binuhat n nya ang mga kagamitan nya, blankets at higaan and said.. "it's time for me to go home now" English speaking ang bata kaya tlgang napa-ingles ako para lang mahikayat kong matulog. He proceeded to the door, hinayaan lang namin ni Teacher Remy. Here was the conversation: Tea.Remy: Are you sure you wanna go home? Isaac: Yes. I need to go home. Tea: Remy: But the gate is locked. Isaac went outside to check the gate and then went back to me. Isaac: "Do you ha
