Warm Welcome for Quennie & Ching!

It's another get together with my high school batchmates at Tiendesitas....As we welcome "Queenie Quibar" from London (the girl with a small voice) and "Cristina Ruiz" (the boyish mestiza)...It's an evening full of fun - a get away from our hectic and traffic life...Of course, I'm with my bestfriend "Beteng" (Kung Fu Panda is his new screen name) and taking advantage of our new friend "Gary D." (it's Diaz, not Daga!) - he's driving an Adventure, FYI....

Who else? Big Boy next-door "Rogelio Manansala," Chinese tycoon "Minh Batinga," Atty. Rocker "Pinong Pablo," Gigolo "John Lachica," Congresswoman "Flor Bambilla," Principal "Jeng Ignacio" with Mr. suave-hubby "Bubuy," Hearthtrob "Sanduco," common tao "Resty Puyo," Singaporean magnate "Matthew," and ex-seminarian "Ronald Bersola" with her sister-wife...

WINDOWS of the SOUL....

Windows of the Soul - Experiencing God in New Ways
by: Ken Gire

Some excerpts from the book:

"But we must learn to look with more than just our eyes and listen more than just our ears, for the sounds are sometimes faint and the sights sometimes far away. We must be aware, at all time and in all places, because windows are everywhere, and at any time we may find one. Or one may find us. Though we will hardly know it...unless we are searching for Him who for so long has been searching for us."

Thank you Tita Precy for this wonderful book!

Best Meaning of HUMILITY....

"Humility is expecting nothing from mankind and looking to God to meet all our needs."

When I came across this quote from a book I borrowed from a friend, I jot it down because it's the best definition of humility I've ever read and heard. It's a humbling experience for me because as I assess my life, I must acknowledge that I'm quite proud. Most of the times, I would go on my own way without consulting God in my life's major decisions. I just rely on my instincts and convictions that my choice is good and will make me happy. It's not being humble whenever I expect other people to return the favor I've given them. I have no right to brag about any little act of kindness I've done because all those blessings came from God. I'm just an instrument in sharing God's benevolence to mankind and I'm not capable of doing it without His grace.

I felt humbled by this beautiful meaning of "HUMILITY."

There's a long way to go....more humbling experiences to help us transform into a more loving person God has intended us to be. We should never be weary in caring for others without expecting in return. We should have more of God's confidence in our life - for us to be meek and humble at heart.

My Lolo Zario's Birthday...

There are a lot people who have influenced my life and my Lolo Zario is one of them. Though he had already joined our Creator few years ago, great memories of him are still vivid on my mind. And I do believe that he's still with me in spirit and he never fails to pray for me.

It's his birthday and I thank God for the chance to be loved by a "LOLO" who has a lot of humor but a caring heart. That's the legacy he has left and it's an inspiration to all of us.

I do miss my Lolo Zario, especially the special love and attention he has given me!!!

It was my debut party, 20 years ago...

For The First Time - Watch it!!!

I just slept for four hours from duty...i don't mind but have to rush to the movie house....why? it's 1st day of showing - FOR THE FIRST TIME!!! I'm not a fan of Megastar but I simply admire her daughter KC Concepcion...Last year, I got a chance to see her in person, doing a commercial shoot and was starstruck! From then, I've become one of her fans....She got beauty, brains, talent & a heart!!!

You have to watch this film...you'd not only fall in love with the place, "Greece" but to KC and Richard! They're both beautiful onscreen - great chemistry, great character and great romance!!! I want to watch it again....sobrang ganda at nakakakilig! After seeing the movie, I hurriedly text my friends and recommend this movie...Don't miss it! The New Phenomenal Love Team in Philippine Cinema.....

One of my happiest moments...

It's one of the touching messages I've ever received, "Life is better when you're happy but life is at its best when other people are happy because of you."

There's a story behind that photo....After few hours of real celebration because it's my birthday (2 years ago)...my friends gave me some honoring...It was Dupong who started being melodramatic with his message, and the rest of the group we're all caught crying...
