Prayer for Papa

Lord Jesus Christ, I believe that you have risen from the dead for our sake. You are the bread of heaven, the resurrection and the life. Lord, you healed the sick and raised the dead. Lord, I ask you to have compassion on my father and reach him through your holy spirit. Restore him and heal him from every suffering of his body, heart and soul in Jesus name. Amen.

Kung Hei Fat Choi

2012 is the Year of the Dragon. I am born in 1972 which is Year of the Rat while my wife was born 1979 which is Year of the Sheep. This year:

The diligent Rat will be rewarded.

For the past couple of years, Rat persons have been navigating stormy weather. You have been encountering work, health, and relationship challenges around every corner. Fortunately, in 2012 a silver lining in the clouds reveals sunshine coming your way. This is especially true if you are in contact with a teacher, exam-giver, boss, interviewer, or benefactor who is born in the year of the Monkey. These people will reward your hard work and perseverance. The other positive zodiac sign for you is the Ox. Collaborating or spending time with an Ox person in northern regions can be beneficial - especially during the winter months. Usually, the Dragon is a compatible sign for Rat persons, however, do not expect too much from them during their year of challenge. Most importantly, Rat persons do well to avoid the Horse, Sheep, and Rooster, who tend to gossip and bring them down. Keep your distance from southern regions.

For a brand new start in 2012, Rat persons can enhance their happiness and reputation by placing the Chi Art, "5 Dimenions of Wealth and Luck" in their bedrooms. On a personal level, having a high master meditate on you or with you can improve your energies even more. Use the colors of gold and white for smoother sailing. Wearing quartz, pearl, citrine, and gold in custom-designed jewelry such as bracelets, necklaces, and earrings wealth and abundance for Rat persons.

The balanced Sheep enjoys peace of mind. 

The Moon is shining for the Sheep in 2012. Falling in love, being moonstruck, and feeling romantic are part of the year's offerings of fantastical experiences - perhaps even marriage. The Moon also grants fortune, a promotion at work, or an upswing in business for Sheep. However, it is important to keep yourself balanced and not be consumed by the passions of a new love or over-confidence at work. 

If you are consumed with love, it can become a distracting emotional roller coaster ride that blurs your judgment. The resulting lack of attention can lead to making poor decisions and embarrassing mistakes. Be careful to avoid errors or disputes that could lead to money loss, legal infractions, complaints, or finger-pointing. 

Sheep persons tend to indulge in good food. This year, be aware that too much of a good thing can bring imbalance causing diarrhea or constipation. Learning moderation to control your hedonistic tendencies will keep you content. 

To protect the Sheep from such struggles and jealousy, have a master prepare a personalized set of mantra charms to adjust this energy. If you are a Sheep, try to lessen your associations with persons born in the year of the Dog, Dragon, and Ox. Placing the Chi Art "Sacred Bamboo Forest" in your family entertainment room will remind you that appreciation of the simple things in life is the secret to attaining life's greatest treasure of all - peace of mind. Sheep persons benefit to travel east with Pig and Rabbit persons. The best colors for the Sheep are aquamarine and teal. Wearing jade and turquoise bracelets, necklaces, and earrings keeps Sheep persons balanced.

Gift for my Family

I recorded a couple of songs (actually I got overwhelm and made 25 songs) and put it in the CD. By this time they maybe listening to it and are laughing out loud. At least alam na nila na frustrated singer si Daddy :-). And everytime they miss me they can just play the CD and listen to me.

I even went far by creating a CD cover. Take a look below. If you also want to listen you could check the Song Trip page above.

I also recorded The Holy Rosary (with me reciting it) so they can also play it that way I can also be with them while they are praying the Holy Rosary. God Bless our Family.

WE LOVE YOU PAPA



I tried to hold my tears when I think about Papa’s condition. But I can’t. I cried yesterday after knowing that Papa is very weak and having a hard time breathing. I am crying while I am writing this.

Hindi ako sanay na makita siyang mahina. Ayokong isipin na iiwan na niya kami.

I am still hoping na bigyan pa siya ng ilang taon pa. He will be turning 70 this coming April 27.

Minsan naiisip ko what it would be like kung wala na siya. He is always been with us. Mama and Papa is always with us. Kahit malayo ako, I know when I go back to the Philippines, nandun silang dalawa, magkasama. Di ako sanay na wala ang isa sa kanila.

God please make my father get better. Take care of my mother as well. Please keep both of them healthy.Noah and Trisha would surely love to spend more time with them. Kayo na po ang bahala.

Trisha's First CCP Ballet Recital

My Ballerina Girl had her first Ballet Recital last December 9, 2011. Unfortunately I was not able to attend but Mommy and Noah were there to support her. Tita Ruth, Ate Tina and others were also there. Next time Daddy hopefully will be there. We are still waiting for more picture and details of the show. In the meantime take a peek at how pretty our little ballerina on her Little Red Riding Hood costume.



Stories Behind the Pictures

I was checking some pictures from my FB and mommy's FB account and I encountered the following pictures below that I would like to share together with a short caption/stories behind them. Hopefully I did wrote the correct dates when these pictures were taken.  From time to time I will posting pictures with stories that we missed sharing especially those older ones. 


Inside the Bus going to my first field trip (November 2011)

Lesson learned. He did not try to do it again.

Noah always got a star. Very Good!

Tita Joy always finds time to take us to the mall.
Thank you Tita Joy!

Your Angel

Once upon a time there was a child ready to be born.

So one day it asks God,”They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?”

God replied, “Among the many angels, I chose one just for you. She will be waiting for you and will take good care of you”.

“But tell me, here in heaven, I don’t do anything else but smile and sing, that’s enough for me to be happy.”

God said, “Your angel will sing for you and will also smile every day. And you will feel your angel’s love and be happy.”

“And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me, if I don’t know the language that men talk?”

God said, “Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak.”

“And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?”

God said, “Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray.”

“I’ve heard that on earth there are bad men, who will protect me?”

God said, “Your angel will defend you even if it means risking it’s life.”

“But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore.”

God said, “Your angel will always talk to you about me and will teach you the way for you to come back to me, even though I will always be next to you.”

At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from earth could already be heard, and the child in a hurry asked softly, “Oh God, if I am about to leave now, please tell me my angel’s name.”

God silenced all fear when He said, “your angel’s name is of no importance.”

“You will simply call her ‘Mommy’.”

Trisha also had her first Ballet Recital in CCP. Daddy was not able to watch but Mommy and Noah was there. 

This is also the first year Daddy is not spending Christmas and New Year with us. Sad.

We made a lot of plans that did not pushed through this year. Hopefully year 2012 will be a better year for us.  


God Bless our Family

Another Year Has Gone By

So many 25th of December
Just as many 4th of July
And we're still holding it together
It only comes down to You and I

I know that you can still remember
Things we said right from the start
When you said that "This could be special"
I'm keeping those words deep down in my heart

Another year has gone by
And I'm still the one by your side
After everything has gone by
Still no one saying goodbye
Though another year has gone by

I've never been much for occcasion
But you never let a birthday go by
Without announcing how much you love me
But the truth is always there right there in your eyes

And we're still holding hands when we're walking
Acting like we've only just met
But how could that be when there's so much history
I guess that's how true lovers can get

Another year has gone by
And I'm still the one by your side
After everything has gone by
Still no one saying goodbye
Though another year has gone by


(Music and Lyrics by Bryan Adams Sang by Celine Dion)
