One day, one friend asked another,
'How is it that you are always so happy?
You have so much energy,
and you never seem to get down.'

With her eyes smiling, she said,
'I know the Secret!'
'What secret is that?'
To which she replied,
'I'll tell you all about it,
but you have to promise to
share the Secret with others.'

'The Secret is this:
I have learned there is little I can do
in my life that will make me truly happy.
I must depend on God to make
me happy and to meet my needs.
When a need arises in my life,
I have to trust God to supply
according to HIS riches.
I have learned most of the time
I don't need half of what I think I do.
He has never let me down.
Since I learned that 'Secret', I am happy.'

The questioner's first thought was,
'That's too simple!'
But upon reflecting over her own life
she recalled how she thought a bigger house
would make her happy, but it didn't!
She thought a better paying job
would make her happy, but it hadn't.
When did she realize her greatest happiness?
Sitting on the floor with her grandchildren,
playing games, eating pizza or reading a story,
a simple gift from God.

Now you know it too!
We can't depend on people to make us happy.
Only GOD in His infinite wisdom can do that.
Trust HIM!
And now I pass the Secret on to you!
So once you get it, what will you do?

YOU have to tell someone the Secret, too!
That GOD in His wisdom will take care of YOU!
But it's not really a secret...
We just have to believe it and do it....
Really trust God!

Do your best; let God do the rest.

Today I pray your troubles be less,
May your blessings be more,
and May nothing but happiness
come through your door!!
Amen!

Thi song is our official theme song with our girl. We told her to listen with the wordings since it has some encouragement and upliftment in life.

"This song is for me?" her say.

I don't have a great voice but I try to sing this song just for our little girl. She did some interpretative dance while I was singing.

Life...there's always something we can do with our child. Do it, just don't say it. Spending quality time with our loved ones is the best!

One of our favorite past time is the karaoke time.

Our girl likes to sing even though she don't know how to read the lyrics. I tried to teach her the wordings and some of it got into her tiny brain. She's a four year old child, and I don't expect the best of her singing ability. We just had some katuwaan or fun inside our very own abode.

Different activities everyday just keep us grooving.
For sure, Angelina likes dancing the best...'ito ang sabi niya! "It's hard to sing when you don't know how to read, Mama. Maybe when I'm old enough and knows how to read, I can sing good."

I love my family and I always will. With the simplicity that we have, I'm not embarrassed, ashamed and tired to show off who we are.

They are always be my family and loving them to death. It's my honor and pleasure that my parents are living with us even just for a short/long period of time.

It's my pride to be with my husband in sickness or in health,  'til death do us apart. That's how faithful I am to my better-half.Hubby can't thank enough of all the TLC (tender, loving care).

Yes, we are goofy and hilarious gang and likes to do something around the house or somewhere...wherever we go. We never have a boring life even during our down time. Not bragging but my little family have a sense of humor... knows how to laugh and knows how to get grumpy. It's not a one way traffic only...lolz!

I won't hide them away from the camera because there's nothing to hide in public... Thank you family...you are the best!

Above all, I thank the Lord, for giving this family of mine.

Anyway, after we visited FIL in the hospital, hubby and I decided to eat out in one of our favorite restaurants. As usual, the food are great and the service is excellent.

Today, it's Lord's day! There was a special presentation in the church in celebration of the veterans day. Actually, the real day will be on Wednesday. It was so touching seeing all the videos with all those men in uniforms fighting for our country. I can't imagine their bravery just to portect our nation. My hand salute to all who serve America, the land of the the brave! Freedom....

Later today, a friend called if we can go window shopping and eat out. My, I want to but I promised my Dearpie to  stay home and be around with my family for the whole weekend.

To you girlfriends, thank you for your very understanding hearts. For sure, you have your own family also and you can relate my story...right?

Angelina's been telling me that it's Thanksgiving month according to her teacher.

 When I dropped her off to school, I saw their bulletin board being changed from Halloween to Thanksgiving Turkey. It's so cute to see all their names in the turkey wings and all their faces with the dried leaves around.

I was smiling reading our Angelina's answer about "What are you thankful for" I would say the teacher thinks they are just ordirary 1st names when Angelina gave Lo and La's names to them. I was so touched how she valued her Lo and La to be a part of her life. It was just her own answer because I never told her teacher who is Lo and La.

Good job Angelina and way to go, girl!

This is what the whole bulletin board looks like...very creative!

The happy camper girl surrounded with the dried leaves

Left Wing is the morning class and right wing is the afternoon class

Lulu and Lona....the teacher don't have any idea how special these names are for Angelina maski iba ang baybay pero it's the thought that counts.

Wish computers were invented during my time when I was at school in a certain university.

If I recall, there were those pre-requisites classes that I have to take in order to be a part of the education family. As an educator, we have to take the basic math subjects and of course the very confusing algebra.

I humbly say, I can understand the equations, problem-solving and formulas but still I need some math help to sum up what I learned. One hour, twice a week learning in a classroom setting wasn't enough for me. I need some online math tutor just like what we have with our present generation. I would say that if online math help did exist during my time, I wouldn't be stress enough learning and understanding my algebra subject. It was just be as easy as 1-2-3!

I agree that additional help outside the classroom is very crucial based from my experience.

Each individual have different pace in comprehending what the instructor is trying to impart to his students. There are those what we called the fast and the slow learners. So if a child needs some reinforcement outside from the school zone, there is this free online math tutoring that would help them.

Online math tutoring has grown in popularity and for good reason. Because all children are different, the specific benefits to each child may vary. But for sure, free online math help will benefit the child's better grades. It's a stress free family environment. Imagine how nice it would be for you to not have to worry about helping your child with his math homework every single day. Your child can attend online math tutoring at tutorvista.com from his computer and you can then spend some quality family time together at the same time.

So, if you have a child who is in K-12 or who is back to school and need some college tutoring, don't hesitate to check out tutorvista.com.

 

 

When I picked up Angelina from her school, she showed a chopstick that is not familiar in my eyes. We're still inside the classroom so, I had the chance to asked her where it came from.

"My friend Elaine gave it to me and I can take it home," her word of wisdom.

I showed it to the teacher and she luckily announced to her class not to share their chopsticks.

Angelina gave back the amazing chopstick to her friend.

While we're in the car, I was imposing again to Angelina not to use anyone's chopstick or else she can get very sick. Glad that she was in the good mood to listen some advises.

On the other hand, I witnessed this little baby girl biting an air freshener and I was pretty sure, it was from the men's urinal. Have you seen a men's urinal, I mean how it was being designed?

Well, the Dad was in-charged watching a year old child, supposed to be while the Mom is the women's bathroom.

You know how children are, specially that kind of age. She disappeared so quick and came back with an air freshener from the men's restroom. It was the mom who just came out from the bathroom noticed it and asked, "What do you have in your mouth, baby?" She freaked out and screamed to her husband for not paying so much attention. The wife and I were looking at each other and it was me who figured it out where it came from.

Yeah, little child can reach it since it's very low.

"You better wash that child's mouth really good and let her gargle some water," the demanding command of the wife to her husband.

For  sure, I would say it was the Dad's fault for not watching closely his very active baby.

At least, I have some true to life story to tell and a moral lesson comes after...right?

 

The Fall Festival was a blast. Kids were having so much fun with the games and trick or treating. The event started at 4:00 PM. Then at 6:30, we all went home so we can give out candies in our door.

It was La and Angelina who were in-charged. Hubby and I were listening with La and Angelina's argumentation on how many they will give and who will open the door. Dada intervened and gave them both some instructions.

Finally, Angelina settled down and they had a smooth sailing treating with the passers by. We had lots of kids coming to our door. Our four big packs of goodies from Sam's Club were all gone. They were giving 4-5 goodies per child though and it wasn't bad.

Anyway, our girl just wore her costume last year as an Angel thinking it's a church activity. We've been told not to wear scary and horror costumes though might as well wear something that is God-friendly outfit...wink!

Oops! yesterday when I came home, Hubby showed me my camera that was buried in the snow for two nights and two days. Since the snow was melting so fast yesterday, Hubby saw my camera laying in the ground underneath our b-b-q grill. You know how guys deal with electronics, to God be the glory, my digi-cam is alive and kicking. It's really working and in fact, it's working really better...it retracts really good not like before that I had to pushed the lens every now and then.

Wow! I was just amazed...little tiny things means so much to me. God is really good! I don't have to buy a new one yet!

When the Lord looks at your heart, what does He see? Every one has an outer life and an inner life. The outer life is our public life that people see around us. The inner life is made up of our thoughts, attitudes, and motives. Only you and God know what's going on inside of you.

Too many people today go around pretending-acting one way, yet on the inside they're thinking something totally different. Their heart and their actions do not line up. We have to understand that God looks at the inside. We can fool a lot of people, but we can not fool God. God would rather us be open and honest than go through life pretending.

Take inventory of what's going on inside of you today. Are you at peace? Are you overlooking offenses? Do you believe the best in people? Are your heart and actions lining up? If not, submit your ways to the Lord today and ask Him to give you an undivided heart. Line up your whole being so that you can live pleasing Him all the days of your life!
