I have been involved in teaching children since high school, and I believe it is where God has called me to minister to them.  One of my passions is teaching about God's love and guiding them on how to live according to His word. After several years in this ministry, one challenge has been finding free teaching resources for children. Often, churches have very little or sometimes no budget to support the needs of children's ministry.  We have faced these challenges, but they haven't hindered us from ministering to these young ones.

Mother's Day Celebration 2013

It's not easy being a mom, yet I would say it is one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I feel happy watching my children grow and am delighted to care for them each and every day.

Yesterday, I received many greetings through SMS and my Facebook account. I appreciated it greatly; thank you, everyone. It's wonderful that there is a day dedicated to honoring all mothers. I just wanted to share my Mother's Day experience from 2013.

Looking for Something?

Have you experienced looking for some stuffs because you needed it right away?  And isn't it irritating to find your self looking around the house/office just to find that stuff you needed.  As far as I know everyone encounters this typical scenario, getting things misplaced.  Isn't it funny that you get to find these things so easily when you no longer needed them.  According to John Maxwell, looking for these stuffs is one of the greatest time wasters.  I agree with him so it pays to be always organized.

I am dating my ex-boyfriend

How would you react to seeing your ex-boyfriend after a few years? Would you go out with him once again, by any chance?

Yes! I dated my ex-boyfriend. But wait. Before your eyes grow wide and you start lifting your eyebrows, why not read the rest of the story first?

Food Trip : Hermanas

After attending the burial of my grandfather's sister on April 21, 2012, pakner4lyf and I considered where to go next from Cuenca to Mataas na Kahoy.  We remembered there is a newly opened restaurant in Lipa City.  My brother shared his dining experience at Hermanas with their boss during his OJT training at the Commission on Audit.  The place is easy to find, as it is located near the Star Toll Way Tambo Exit, just a few meters away.  If you look at the above photo (left side),  you can still see the Flying V Gasoline station in their window (currently, Flying V Gasoline has closed and been replaced by Jollibee).    

Before everyone gets out of the car, pakner4lyf checks the restaurant first to see if dining inside with the three children is fine. We don't want problems with them breaking things inside. What's unique about the restaurant?  

A vow to remember

We attended Andy and Jessa's wedding (she's my second cousin) this morning.  My daughter was chosen to be one of the flower girls, my younger brother was one of the groomsmen, and my parents were the principal sponsors. The ceremony was held at Cuenca Bible Christian Church, my home church - the same church where I was married. This made me remember my own wedding day.  This April 28, we will be celebrating our sixth wedding anniversary. Today, I was reminded of the vows I had spoken to my partner for life.

I was reminded of the thrill and excitement of that first day with the man I loved most.  Frankly, as the years have passed, these feelings seem to have been neglected.
