ULTRASOUND

Thanks so much to my family and friends who prayed for my pregnancy I have baby girl in my womb, I thank the Lord for this blessing He sent to us!
Now I can really feel the kicking and moving of my baby inside, it tickle me so much! but I enjoy feeling her. She is very active inside. Every time I teach she not stop moving maybe she is also learning with her mommy!!!
If her Daddy play Mozart music!!! suppose she is going to sleep but she is kicking and moving around my tummy! She is enjoying listening the music.
I am sure she is also music minded! As the blood goes through our family and our in laws.
When we have our devotional daddy will talk to her that she has to pray with us. We just want her to be used of what we do every night before going to bed and before getting up in the morning.
I only have one that friend told me that my baby is boy! Most of them baby girl because of this and that!! well, it was just a guess!! no one really knows.
But when we see her during ultrasound we both more excited in her coming. I'm so thankful to God that He bless my womb, the baby is healthy and normal. It's an amazing works of the Lord.

Here I am Again!!

The Lord is faithful and never fails!

I was not able to post for quite sometimes, I don't know why every time I open my account I feel suddenly tired and wordless!! I have many things to share but I couldn't put into writing.
I just enjoyed reading the post of my favourite blogs. I enjoy knowing that God has been doing great things in their lives.

I hope and pray that this will be a good start!!

POTTER'S HAND

During our Medical Mission! Shampooing the Kids to take out the LICE

Clif in Tandag, Philippines giving words of encouragement and testimony!!

We had great time together with my hubby yesterday, we talked many things and plans. Right after our dinner he told me to settle my self early because we are going to have our prayer time. Well, that was about 8 so I quickly rush to the washroom and prepare my self. He told me I am going to lead the worship, I hurried up took our list of songs. I got some songs for our praise and worship. We sang three songs and then after that I thought we finish. Suddenly spirit leads me to sing this Potter's Hand. When I started to sing I felt God's hand touching my heart and my hubby!! As we continue singing this song the spirit moves and we could not even pronounce the words well because we start crying and thanking God for all His marvelous deeds, We couldn't stop singing this song until we just felt God's vision and revelations to us. My hubby I , knelt down and we give our hearts and surrender our lives to Him. It was very great and wonderful to be in God's presence. Nothing else can satisfy us only JESUS. When he asked me to lead the prayer, God revealed His word in Joshua 1:8-9. We are all overwhelmed and comforted because He knows our heart's desires. We know that He joined our hand together for great purpose and great commission while we stay here in Thailand. We know that God will use us in His mighty power to establish His Kingdom in this place or wherever He brings us.

Potter's Hand
Beautiful Lord, Wonderful Saviour I know for sure, all of my days are held in your hands, crafted into your perfect plan You gently call me into your presence guiding me by Your Holy Spirit Teach me dear Lord to live all of my life through Your eyes I'm captured by Your holy calling Set me apart, I know you're drawing me to yourself Lead me Lord I pray Chorus: Take me, Mould me, use me, fill me I give my life to the Potter's hand Call me, guide me, lead me, walk beside me I give my life to the Potter's hand you gentlly call me into your presence guidin me by your holy spirit teach me dear lord to live through your eyes i'm captured by you holy calling set me apart, I know your drawing me to yourself lead me lord i pray.

Craving SWENSENS!!!!

SWENSENS a Place of Ice Cream! Seven months now that I couldn't eat ice cream, shake, soft drinks and cold water. After church yesterday in our way home it was so hot and humid! My skin is just like pinched by the sun!! It was extremely hot.
So I decided to go to Diana to cool down my self !! I don't like to use our aircon at home to save electricity!!! hahaha( stingy!!) When we were at Diana we looked around, we window shopped for our baby stuff and then we went to look for showing movies but we don't really watch movie!! just curiosity!! Nothing really interesting movies!!
After we walked around I wanted to sit and rest for a while so went to third floor again to find seats there.
While we sat down and talked I suddenly remembered my discount card at Swensens given by my student last year who used to work at Swensens. OH!! I told my hubby how about if we sit at swensens? He was surprised when I showed to him my discount card!! where did you get that? so we went to swensens and luckily they have very nice promo and only 49 and we can discount about 20 so wow it's good!! I was really glad to have had ice cream but my hubby warned me just only for today no more next!! only after you give birth!! But he really don't know how I crave for ice cream!!
Friends if you like to have ice cream at Swensens you can use my card!Just let me know!

Cheer Him UP!!

I sang ducky ducky quack!!!

Peace tayo!!

More Peace!!!

Yesterday afternoon my hubby was exhausted of the household chores. He also cooked lunch for me and sent to my workplace. I knew he was very busy at home but i just wanted to eat of his cooking!!!hahahah!! Manja!!!
When I got home, I noticed that he was really tired. I tried to asked him if he can make apple shake. Well, without any complain he went to the shop and bought milk and ice. While he went out I started preparing all the necessary stuff for cooking for our dinner.
When he arrived I told him I will cook and he said well,well!! I will cook the rice... So while he was peeling the apples I was also peeling the potatoes and slicing the green beans. Then after we had set everything. I cooked and he was watching over me.. I want to make him laugh to let his tiredness gone I told funny stories and telling him our experiences when we were still young, we had fun with my Kuya Nem and ate Dines!! so much fun! many to mention!! I did funny actions and he took pictures of me hahaha!!!He enjoyed watching me!! I made him LOL He told me why you are funny buntis??? hahahaha!!!I just laugh.

Hairstyle

Apple Shake

After I went out from the hospital I look so haggard and look very sick! I stayed in our room for three days. My hubby doesn't like me to do anything. But I got bored so I asked him to take a walk to a near by Saloon where I used to go for my hair treatment and whatever !! I wanted to have trim because my hair look so untidy.
Well, suddenly I decided to cut it little longer so that I will feel fresh. I quickly looked up at the magazine and find a hairstyle that suit to my face!!! Oh it takes me half an hour !!!I couldn't find any!! so I asked the beautician to just cut whatever she think nice for me. Finally, here is my new hairstyle, for quiet sometime I did not have this short shaggy hair, well I like it I feel my head so light and convenient even I will not comb my hair it's manageable.
My hubby told me that I look young, hahahaha!!well he likes it. But when we reached at home he said I can make it long again after I give birth!!!!!obviously men really like woman who has long hair.

SCENIC SUNDAY

Our holiday in Singapore

Our way home to Thailand

Clif's pose with his umbrella ( very sensitive skin hmmmm!)

Grace left (Singaporean) ME middle(Filipino) Vita right(Taiwanese)

These poses taken during our holiday in Singapore. The country of Singapore is very clean and green surroundings, it's not actually big city but have huge buildings and one thing i like is not crowded.
Way back 2000 I was still in Philippines Manila I was really wishing and desiring to visit Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia etc.. or i could travel around Asia. That's my heart's desire and God is really good and wonderful. He will give the desires of our heart as long as we continue to delight ourselves to Him and obey Him,In all our ways we acknowledge Him and He will directs our paths.
2005 God granted little by little, I was able to come to Thailand by faith. God works in His mysterious ways He prepared a way for me and use people as an instrument so I could come and teach here in Hatyai University.
Well, just last year Me and My hubby went to Indonesia with our Mommy Vera ( my close friend since I've been here in Thailand).
January we went to Singapore and stayed with the family friend of my hubby.. we had a very good time there. After we spent a short time there we went to Philippines so my hubby could meet my family and had our reception party and also celebrating the 50th anniversary wedding of my Papa and Mama. It was great and I know that God will always show His bountiful graces to us. He will always do something new and far beyond our expectation.

I WON!!!

I was lazy this morning to open my lappy!! I'm sure I am exhausted for the whole week. I felt weak and just wanted to do nothing!! So i decided to open this evening to check my email!! Oh what a great surprise Madam Carlota
wrote in my comments and informed me that I won!! Oh I was so excited and I can't wait to see my beautiful and wonderful layout!!hahaha I'm sure soon!! hehehe!! Thank you so much Madam it really welcomes my day to a happy one!! It really made my day!!

Memorable Day!

I couldn't help posting this memorable moment of my Papa and Mama, 50th Golden Anniversary last January at Insular Hotel Water Front Davao City ! every time I see all of our photos I can't stop dropping tears on my face! I know and feel that they're very grateful and happy reaching 50 years of their marriage. All of us had great joy in our heart to see them still together forever! We only see them again after after two years! I pray that God will give them more years to come.

My FRIEND

I received an email yesterday from a very dearest friend, she sent me a very touching Poem about friend. I was so touched and blessed!
I never thought i could inspire her life like that!

MY FRIEND
Once in a while someone comes along,
someone who just naturally
makes everyone feel a little happier,
a little more alive to life.

You've been that someone to me,
You've given me a new prospective
on a lot of things including myself.

There are things you've said to me
I'll always remember and ways you've helped me
I'll never forget.
The times we spend together
are always good times that leave me looking
forward to the next time.

So thanks for being the wonderful person you are.
You're an inspiration to me and
I'm very glad and grateful that you are my friend.

Happy Father's Day

Mushroom,Corn and Potato soup!
Beef Steak, vegetable salad with fried rice.
Salmon spaghetti!
Mashed Potato with creamy tuna, cheese sauce.

Right after the service we went to Santa Fe to have our lunch!! Anyway just a little treat to my hubby for father's day! once in a while! take note all potato hahaha! he likes potato and tuna so i just let him choose what he likes becuase it's his day!

Confused!!

Obviously I'm confused of my template i keep on changing and changing it! i guess i am not satisfied of the color or the design or may be i really don't know what color i like!!
Well, just for the meantime i am using this greenish color! it's also cool to the eyes!
It takes me hours to fix my confusing design hahahaha!!! My hubby teased me!" What really you like to do? you spent hours there in computer but still nothing final!! when is really the final? (with matching LOL)hahaha!!
Our work will reflects our personality! I am not actually organize person! I admit my one and only loving sis she is the most organize person i've ever known! My hubby is well organize than me, so he just keep on fixing my dis organize stuff! and sometimes my decision making! but i try my best by the help of our almighty God to be an organize woman, mother and wife.

BOY or GIRL??

Couple of nights now that I struggled to sleep, I'm sure it has to do with my pregnancy. I am 22 weeks and 1 day preggy and praise God for His sustaining grace and provision.
Last Friday night, I couldn't sleep well it was because I was too excited to know the gender of our baby in the following day.
I got up early on Saturday to prepare myself going to the Hospital for my ultrasound. My hubby was also excited and woke up early to prepare our breakfast.
At exactly 9 o'clock we were there waiting for our turn. Oh!! my gosh! I was waiting for an hour before I got into the ultrasound room. It was pathetic!! that was my first time at that hospital that kept me waiting for that long.. Anyway, I was there inside and I asked the Doctor if I could let my hubby see our baby too and hear the beat of the heart!! He was so happy to be with me inside the room. I could see the excitement and full of enthusiasm in his eyes.
So the Doctor explained everything and thank God that the baby is very fine and have normal heartbeat. She couldn't see anything wrong inside.
I can't wait to know if it's a boy or girl, then the Dr. tried to identify!! I whisper to my baby please! please! hahaha !!!baby open you legs hahahahahaha... Dr said I couldn't see his penis!! Well so it's girl? I quickly answered back but she said not sure hahahaha!!! very funny!!!
Finally, she concluded that she couldn't identify the gender! maybe in the next ultrasound because she said the two legs are still very close to each other and hopefully in the seventh month we will know.
Sigh!!!! but still thank God, we know that God still forming the baby inside my womb and we know that God will give what is best for us. No matter girl or boy give thanks to the Lord!

BEWARE!

Oh..friends! I got money back today! Finally, the bank can find the thieve and return money for me. However, everybody should be careful to use online banking. Please have a good antivirus and update everyday. Be careful spyware...With loves..from Pinky ***********Thank you Bank West, Australia********

I got this message from my very good friend in Australia, she is Thai but she passed this message to me so we will be aware of online banking. Yes,,,,, it's true many people who are expert of this. Even in withdrawing at ATM machine make sure nobody sees you pressing your pin code. They are very clever. I heard news that those people also put up recording so whenever you press any number they can record and they can determine what number you press. So just be careful.

Under renovation hahahaha

Hi guys i am editing my blogs! sorry i will be here as soon as i finish. Just need some more time. I am not expert with this editing. Have a nice day to all.

Teaching Load!

I thank God for His abundant blessings for us couple. He never fail us !!. He is true to His promises that just call his name and He will answer and show mighty things which you don't know. He is always present and help in trouble. I thank God for His inspiring words last night. My hubby shared the word in Proverbs 6:16-19. It was really refreshing!!! and reminding us believers to be very careful in how we live.
This morning I woke up early and no more morning sickness. Thank God!!
When I got in the office I saw new lecturers sitting down their desks and chatting each other. Well, our head of department announced that our teaching load in this coming semester is not final yet the registrar still busy scheduling the time and the teachers because we have new staffs. We might teach under load now not the same last year that I taught 24 hours a week!! that was terrible I often missed my lunch!!! I hold my breath and thank God for it because in my heart I really want to teach less hours now due to my pregnancy. I want to have much time to rest.
Sometimes I think it's hard to work if pregnant but if I think that it is just my exercise I felt relieve. God is the my strength!!!!
Anyway, I am grateful to God for everything! All things works together for good to them that love God.

Keyboard Lesson

Walukcha

Clif, Walukcha and Pen

Saturday night we have had good time with our tutorial classes in their English lesson. Right after we taught them the parent of the kids asked my hubby what brand of the keyboard they are going to buy. My hubby told them to just buy the cheapest one, just only for practice and they can buy expensive later when they can play already. In our surprised when we went to their study room!! we saw a huge and nice Casio piano. We asked right away the mother why they got the expensive piano. She said because her husband want to learn also.. Hahahaha.. It sounds like my hubby is going to be busy! The father of the kids is also interested to study!!! Way back year 90s, I played keyboard but I have to use the keyboard of my Kuya Nemrod, I can't play to any other keyboard! sounds funny! Now i don't know if i can still play... My hubby started his keyboard lesson teaching with the two little kids students last Sunday. I went with him so I can also see and learn while he teach them. Well, I enjoyed watching them. The kids are very interested to learn, they're musician!!. While my hubby teach the older sister I tried to have had voice lesson to the younger one so she can sing and play. Isn't that fun? if you like to learn just give a buzz!! hahahaha... Keyboard lesson or Voice lesson!!!

Tutorial and Witnessing

When I got home yesterday I felt so tired and wanted to sleep but I couldn't sleep. I did not go with him for our tutorial he went alone and teach the kids. I miss them but I have to rest once in a while.
I really thank God for this blessings He gave to us, This family is awesome and very nice people.
Daddy C.H.I. teach the two kids and I teach their mother. She is so nice and very accommodating. She loves to learn English, she owns a Wedding and Thai gowns and etc. You can rent fancy dresses, she also tailor and make dress.
I bought my bridal gown in her shop.
I and C.H.I love this family, we prayed for them that God will open door for us to share the salvation that God gave to us. My hubby told me we will always pray that we will be blessing to them and they can see Jesus in our heart.
Last Tuesday night I taught the kids about the Thai song I knew and they love it, now they want me to sing over and over again. I asked them to write down while I dictate the song so they can sing with me, the funny is sometimes they confused and can not understand the word that I say because maybe it's different tone!!! They asked me what is that mean teacher? I also don't really know if I am saying the right word!! Very funny!! until we finish the song and they sang with me. They enjoyed it very much.The Title of the song is "I Love to worship God". I thank God that through the song they can worship the Lord even they don't notice that they already worshipping God. I believe in my heart that God will do something special for this family. Their father and C.H.I is going to buy keyboard this Saturday so C.H.I can start teaching the kids of their keyboard lesson. My hubby is going to be busy!!!!..

"PAK TAI" Dinner

These are all the ingredients
This is how they cook.

I and C.H.I (Clif Hander Ivan) have tutorials every six o'clock to 7:3o. The kids just stay 5 -7 minutes walk from our house. Actually I just assist him, I also get bored at home alone. I like walking in the afternoon for my little exercise.
After we teach as we walked going back home, along the road he said he is little bit hungry. We went to his favourite shop where they cook "Pak Tai" it's a kind of Thai flat noodles. My hubby likes it very much. He eat a lot of this, he mixed with powdered chilli, eggs and some other ingredients which i don't know the names, and match with green leaves onion! Wow! to him but WEW! to me!!He can eat even everyday. He likes noodles maybe because he has chinnese blood running down to his body!!!!!But the mandaya girl likes unripe saba banana dunk in bagoong or gina (mos).
I don't really like noodles, I can eat but just a bit of it. But Pancit sotanghon! well, it's another story! We missed to eat that when we were in Philippines.
Finally, we had good dinner last night.Would you like some of PAK Tai?

Purse/ Bag Tag

Taken in my office desk.

My office desk.

When Gene was in our house last Sunday i asked her why my name did not appear when you tag your friends in Purse/Bag Tag? hehehehe she laugh and told me don't worry mommy I will write your name when I'm home, actually i was in hurry to write it so i missed your name! It was funny. but it's true I was really looking for my name because she used to tag me. Thank you Gene that you did not forget me when you got home.
Finally, here it goes the story of my purse and favourite bag. But before telling the story of my purse here are the ...."rules of the tag".

1. Post a picture of whatever bag you are carrying as of late. No, you can't go into your closet and pull out your favorite purse! We want to know what you carried today or the last time you left the house.

2. List how much it cost. And this is not to judge. This is for entertainment purposes only. So spill it. And if there is a story to go along with how you obtained it, we'd love to hear it.

3. Tag some chicks. And link back to this post so people know why the heck you're showing everyone your bag.

Rules should always be followed.Well,l I like simple but elegant (charlssss) bag or purse. I sometimes pair with my dress but sometimes it's just depend on my mood.
Well, this purse has sentimental value it was given by my Ate Dines when she just arrived from USA last January, We've met in Manila, when she took out all her "Pasalubong" to me I saw purses and she handed me the "Guess" purse which i really long for many many years, I thought it's her purse but when she said I bought it for you i felt like floating random! I gave her a big hug and thanking her for being so precious to her even I'm sometimes spoiled hehehehe! Well, I can't hide it that I really love this purse and I use this almost everyday when i go to work. But i don't use this when I just go shopping and go" Pai Teaw" I use my cheap purse but durable so whenever it lost I don't want be hurt much!! I am scared it I might lost it or it might be snatched.
This brown bag, I use now for a month, i don't know why, I just like it. It's 2 years already since I bought this. This is just ordinary no name at all!!!. I junked this bag since we moved to our new house, My hubby put all my bags in big sacks. The zipper of this was already taken out and already teared inside pocket. Last month I looked for my green little bag the one Ate Dines gift last year's birthday I like to match it with my green shorts and all greenish attire. I can't find it, now I found this bag and i couldn't just help I took it and try to fix the zipper. I asked my hubby to fix for me because it's very hard I couldn't believe I like it again. My hubby likes it too, I see it's cute. Since then i use it until now.



I wonder if ate Dines,te Eng,Lab,Nona,Ate jan what purse or bag they are using now. Hope to know.
