pink walkathon ... my third year















this is the third year that i was able to join the 'walk' and the first time for my cousin, marie and her friend josette. this year we made this walk for our ate lucy - a family friend who is more of a big sister to us. she is battling with the big 'C', sadly she came to know about it only recently and it is already on a latter stage...

ate lucy - we are praying for you ... be strong, we are with you in prayers - always.... we love you!

... magic !!!



my friend Adz, gave me (and another friend -Jaz) a black mug ... one of their giveaways for the coming 40th year celebration of UAE's National Day on Dec. 02, 2011. Jaz was kinda ...'bakit itim? wala ba iba kulay?' .. and Adz simply smiled at her and told her to wait till coffee time! puzzled - Jaz was like : ah ok .. i will wait for you! hehehehe (she didn't quite get it that time)...
the following morning - she cheerfully told me that it was 'cute' - "magic" daw :D

anyways, two more weeks and the UAE nationals and expats will again experience a grand celebration of the founding of the emirates. actually there has been a lot of happenings already, one of which is the Dubai Air Show that will end tomorrow, and the just concluded Formula 1 Race in Abu Dhabi.

after long years ..... together again ...



ang mga alaga ko .. after so many years, nagkasama-sama ulit even for a short time! nakakatuwang tingnan ang picture nila: si jomar, si marie, si amy - ang tatlong makukulit na mga alaga ko... growing up together sa bahay ni Lola Orang sa Basilio.

i remember i was still in college when jomar came to live with my auntie virgie & uncle jun .. wala pa sila kasing anak that time .. super kulit! then amy came to live with us - pamangkin ko sa pinsan - she was just 2 years old yata .. isa pa ring makulit .. then came marie ... the youngest of them three... ngayon pareho-pareho na silang de-pamilya: jomar got two kids a boy and a girl; si amy: two kids - both boys youngest is timothy - 6months old pa lang daw ,then si marie, a boy named migz naman ... isa pa ring super duper kulit na bata!!

also in this pic is riya youngest sister of marie and the boy is adam - eldest of amy. below pic naman kasama na si migz trying to carry timothy na tabaching-ching din!!



parang kahapon lang .. they were running around Lola's house :D ngayon their kids are the ones running around na! hayyzzzz .. time sure flies so fast!!!

... no matter ....

my FB friend wrote a very good piece on her wall and everytime it is very uplifting .. esp. for me. i wrote her and commented and thanked her for sharing her wonderful thought for the day and she replied and gave me a very touching response to what i wrote her.

this is what she wrote.. and I hope she wouldn't mind me sharing this here because it is really very touching - and just reading it this morning brought tears in my eyes..

Don't stress your gentle heart out over 'down times' much, Aleth. We all have them. I do too. It will pass. Just hang in there be brave and anchor your hope and faith in God who knows all about your day. He has everything all figured out. Our role in the bigger scheme of things is to hold on to faith and walk alongside Him. Not easy sometimes I know.. (I struggle with that too sometimes.) but with Him by our side... we conquer and overcome. Believe and you shall have peace. In Christ.

God bless her .....
