It was my desire to learn Chinese ever since. This summer when I studied my Ph.D. one of the subjects is to study Chinese. It was fun and everyone learned and enjoyed the subject.

We took a pose after learning everything. Our teacher also enjoyed although she could not speak English well. But she tried to speak and let all of us learn as fast as we can. We missed her and we learned the way she speaks the language.

Many came and worshiped with us. And it seems that our church needed some chairs4worshipchurch chairs to accommodate everyone. It’s good that one of the members allowed us to use their chairs for a moment. It helped us to allow others to sit down.

That’s why our church decided to renovate the broken chairs and buy something new to add to some of our chairs in the church. It will be a good idea and it’s exciting to know that many are hunger and thirst for the Lord.

The church prepared something special for mothers and gave gifts as well. Some cried, others laugh and some enjoyed the celebration. We all agreed that mothers are special people given by God for a purpose. It was indeed a meaningful day for all of us. We liked the gift too because we can truly use it. It was a hand wash thing. It’s nice and we love it.

Happy Mother’s Day to everyone. You are special ….. you are loved!!!

Usually I will show it to hubby for approval if he likes it or not. We both agree and plan to have indoor water fountains inside the house to make our home cool and nature friendly. It’s a good idea I guess, and our house will be soothing and I would love to stay always. What do you think?

We attended a birthday party for kids last time. We are blessed to join and watch how kids perform and behave during their birthdays. We even enjoyed more after trying all the delicious snacks and food prepared. We looked like kids, right?

We even did a pose like the one they did here. It’s fun to be a part of this great celebration. We were close friends in the church and we have something in common.

This is my new logo for my other blog and I enjoy making it. It’s fun to know that I have learned many things about blogging and was able to make it. Now I’m learning more and was getting more excited, huh!

Blogging is fun and enjoyable as long as you know what to do and what to write about. Writing is now my hubby aside from teaching and training a choir. This year might be another way of learning and my teaching career might be different.

If I will buy for him he won’t use it. He won’t buy either, and will usually ask me to accompany him when he wanted to buy a shirt. There were brands that he wants and would ask me to buy for him just like diamond supply co, long sleeve with a collar or with any soft cloth. Teenagers these days are choosy and wanted their own way though.

AJ turned 9 last January. He was so excited to share something for his classmates in school. Hubby bought the biggest pizza in town and everyone enjoyed eating and playing some games hubby prepared for his son.

Glad to share this for Mellow Yellow Monday.  Blessings!

My students wore womens motorcycle jackets and they look great. One time, I was riding at the back of the motorcycle while hubby was driving and we saw a lot of women driving. We were startled of how they were driving. They really can drive well.

My son tried too but I was scared looking at him. So hubby was the teaching him to drive. I can’t bear to him driving in a motorcycle.

I visited my family in the church because AJ joined the Junior’s Camp and Kuya Em2, Krizzia and JV were helping and other youth in the church. They started yesterday and will be going back home on Friday. Hubby was the overall chairman in most of the activities.

There were 38 juniors who attended and the youth were the leaders. There were 5 groups and they will have a swimming activity at Forest Park. Everyone seems enjoying with all the delicious food prepared for them. I might be sharing some of the pictures by then.
