Fourth

Today I am grateful we are celebrating our 4th wedding anniversary. At this moment, I am asked to stay inside the bedroom while my husband is preparing a surprise for me ;) Hmmmm, who doesn't love surprises? So while I'm waiting for that I am writing this post to share a special gift my friend gave me when I visited her last New Year.

Aldryne, my Guardian Angel :)

Thursday Fun!

Today I am grateful for a safe drive along the interstate. I always get anxious when driving on the interstate because of the speed and traffic. But always with God's Guiding Hand and my guardian angel, me and my car are still fine :)

looking calm outside but jittery inside for the long drive

And also yesterday me and my friends went to an Enrique Iglesias concert. I was so thrilled to see him perform. I'm showing below highlights of the event. Happy weekend!!!

Apple

Today I am grateful for the gift of technology. Today I also learned that Steve Jobs passed away. I just wanna dedicate this post to a man who had used his God given talents to create products of excellence. Thank you, Mr. Jobs. I think you are very cool! I am also adopted and my birthday is also on 2/24 :)

I don't have any Mac products but here is me and my friends in front of Apple, NY

But as you excel in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, and in all eagerness and in the love from us that is in you—make sure that you excel in this act of kindness too. -  2 Corinthians 8:7

Busily Blessed!

Today I am grateful for the almost 3 weeks that has passed since I last blogged and that during these times my blessings have continued to abound. Below is a summary in pictures of things that have delighted my heart for the past weeks.

Foodie Weekend

Today I am grateful for a weekend full of food. :) Friday night I attended a post wedding celebration and had Filipino foods to my heart's content. We even had dried fish the morning after for breakfast! And I think it was the best food of the weekend! Then on Saturday afternoon, my neighbor had another pool party and their American bbq chicken straight from the grill was so yummy! And then today, right after Sunday mass, a Vietnamese couple invited me and my friends for a taste of Veitnamese noodles. A mix of culture and food, what a fabulous weekend! :)

For Pentecost Sunday:

"To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. For to one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the ability to distinguish between spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. All these are empowered by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as he wills." - 1Corinthians 12:7-11

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law" - Galatians 5:22-23

Greater Weekend

Today I am grateful for a nice weekend. My friend came over to sleepover. We went to church together and had lunch at Pizza Hut afterwards. I had Chicken Alfredo which was so yummy! My husband sent a romantic message which just melted my heart. I chatted with my Nanay in the Philippines and she and Tatay are doing well. I miss them so much, though. So, those are my weekend highlights.

My pretty friend..see how small her face is? or do i have just a very big face?! :D
