Tagaytay Trip with SFL
It has been a while since my last groupie outing in the Philippines. I guess the last one was with my GEOS Angels. So this trip with my SFL Brethren excites me! We had a car that picks us up from the airport, courtesy of Ate Lou. During this trip Bro. Christian suggested a “Bank sharing” a type of expense sharing he did with his bros & cousin when he went to Jordan. This is where we all give a certain amount of money considered as a bank where we take all our daily expenses. Once the bank is empty, we then deposit once again up until the last…

TGIT – 10 Counted Blessings
Inspired by the song Blessings by Laura Story… Every day we go through different challenges that are maybe not good – but could they be God’s way of tapping us and reminding us, hey! I remember you that’s why you are in “this” right now… Almost every talk in the community I attend, we are prompted of the blessings that we have at hand. So I thought, why not make a series of blog about it!?! Thought of the title and came up with TGIT- # Counted Blessings! Since Thursday is the start of weekend here in Abu Dhabi, I thought it is a good time to wrap up the…

When Prayers become a hit!
18 March 2016 Here comes my own testimonial of how powerful PRAYERS are! I am saying “PRAYERS” because I am referring to the collective prayers of the people who have heard my plea. I delivered a talk on Loving thy neighbor in one of the CLS a couple of weeks back and on that event, I closed my talk by asking the participants and the service team to pray for me for the struggle that I have been seriously dealing with, related to this commandment. When Prayers become a hit! Indeed, (after the talk) – a week had passed without a sign of that struggle I shared to…

Movie Review : Miracles From Heaven (2016)
Yes I am a fan! For a while I have been looking forward to watch this movie. I have been following Jen taping this film since last year. The plot has been clearly defined in the trailer. A loving family who has 3 daughters and one of them (Annabel) has an incurable disease that up to date science don’t have an answer. “Are you there!?! Can you hear me!?! Cause I can’t hear you”! – Christie Beam (Jen’s character) asked by looking up to heaven. We all go through this moment, when we tend to ask God why, where are you? Why of all people; I or this person…

ColorRun Abu Dhabi 2016
A beautiful day in Abu Dhabi . . . How we get there: As soon as ColorRun Abu Dhabi opened the registration and highlighted that the run will fall on a Saturday 12.03.2015, Koko and I never hesitated to register. So we got an early bird registration for on 140/-AED per person. And all we have to do is to wait for the event. Of course a bit of preparation was also casted, Koko runs while I also do – – rarely till the day. :) On Friday – 11th March, we took our package – including the t-shirt and other stuff at Yas Marina where the event…

Book Review : Dear Alex
This is awkward… But I just wanna share it.. hehehe :D Finally! Done reading Dear Alex, That is really my final say after a year of on-off reading. Not because I didn’t find it interesting, but just because I get caught up with so many things. But this time, alas! I have done reading it! So here is my take on this book, to be honest, I am not a fan. I am her sister’s fan – Toni Gonzaga – is one of my favorite hosts and since she (Toni) promotes her sister’s book, I became curious about what’s inside and I expected it to have some scriptures given that…

14 February
This day has long been commercially celebrated. Millions of flowers and chocolates are being sold during this holiday and throughout the world, everyone has their own special way of celebrating it with their loved one. But how does this day actually become a sensational holiday? Let’s get into a little history class: It started with St. Valentine. Many believed that St. Valentine sent a letter to the woman he loves by signing it as “From Your Valentine” but it was actually a letter to her daughter who regains sight after believing that God answers our prayers. She was with him in his prison cell while waiting for…
