WHAT’S THE STORY BEHIND YOUR GIFT?
SHE WRITES: We’re still in the spirit of the gift giving season so this post is about memorable gifts…either gift that you have received or you have given to someone. It could be the most expensive or the cheapest – doesn’t matter, as long as when you think of gifts, you remember that particular thing. For my case, I remember a white dress that “Santa” gave me when I was a child. That was the last Christmas I believed in Santa because my mom made a comment that revealed Santa’s identity ) I can still remember what she said… “How did you manage to get the perfect fit?” then I saw my papa’s face turned RED as he silenced my mom but saw me looking at them! hihi… He then just gave me a hug and said “Don’t tell your brothers, ok?” I agreed so the following Christmas, I went … Continue reading
HOW WILL YOU CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS?
SHE WRITES:As you know, we are here in China and this is not a Christian nation… But that won’t stop us from celebrating the season. Tonight we will have a gathering of all the Filipinos here in our place – probably just about 20 people – and we will have exchange gifts and singing since there’s a regular Filipino band in that place. Tomorrow we will have our Christmas Party here at home – 7 of us – that is with our friends whom we consider extended family. We have kris kringle and some games that I have planned out. We will just have simple food and celebration but I’m sure it’ll turn out wonderful because the bottom line is, we meet, talk and just be together. Although we miss Christmas in the Philippines, we have managed to have a “home away from home” here in China. Of course, with … Continue reading
EVER BELIEVED IN SANTA?
SHE WRITES:Waking up every December 25th was one of the most exciting days of my life when I was 9 years old and younger. I would run to my gifts and open them with big ahhhs and ooohs in disbelief that Santa passed by and gave me (and my siblings) those gifts! When I found out that Mr. Santa was mom and dad, I didn’t get disappointed but rather grateful that even if we didn’t have much money, there wasn’t a Christmas morn where we woke up with no gifts. When my siblings and I were all grown up, I asked my dad why they kept doing that “Santa” thingy even if we were hard up financially. He told me something that made it all the more special… Papa said seeing the JOY in our faces, with those wide eyes as we opened the gifts made their efforts all worth … Continue reading
HOW DO YOU HANDLE Mr. or Ms. MOODY?
SHE WRITES: Let me start by saying I am definitely not a moody person but I know someone who is and people around her are having a (bit of) hard time because she’s so unpredictable. I don’t know if it’s really true that there are days she “wakes up at the right / wrong side of the bed” because for me, the right / wrong side is up to you ) Well of course we don’t have the same personality type, but it’s kinda hard to be on your toes when you’re with that person – as what others tell me. Ooops, if you’re someone who’s been told moody, it would be good to explain what’s going on when you’re “irregular” ) And if you’ve been around one, let’s say married to Mr. or Mrs. Moody, then how have you managed to relate with him / her with less conflict? … Continue reading
He WIll Always Be My Baby…
This picture was taken yesterday when my son EJ was sleeping soundly. It was already morning but he was still in deep sleep so I figured I’d take his picture, without his permission, hihi… I’m posting this because one of the best hour in my day is putting him to sleep and I love looking at him while he’s asleep. I always tell him he looks like an angel and he likes it when I say that ) I don’t know if I’ll ever get tired of looking at his angelic sleeping face – probably not. I don’t know if every mother takes time to look at their children when they’re sleeping, but I do. Every time I see EJ sleeping, I realize how precious it is that God gave him to me to take care and to nurture. I may miss the corporate world sometimes but seeing EJ, especially … Continue reading

HOW OFTEN DO YOU WALK IN THE PARK?
SHE WRITES:I like walking in the park, but I seldom have the chance to do it here in China. There are a lot of parks here but I have no one to walk with because my husband works whole day and it’s very cold at night, especially now it’s winter. BUT when I was in Bacolod (my hometown) my in-laws and I did it about 3-4x each week. It started in 2005 when I was 5 months pregnant with EJ – we walked almost every night – yep, after dinner. The “tradition” went on until EJ came out – that was the same park where we trained him how to walk and run ) I loved doing it with mama Mary and papa William (my in-laws) and I miss it very much. It’s actually one of the things I’m looking forward to next year because I’ll stay with them a … Continue reading
R U A WORKAHOLIC?
SHE WRITES: I know that I used to be workaholic when I was single. Used to work overtime everyday, worked until 12 midnight if there were shipments that were urgent and even 24 hours straight when something went wrong with a very important customer’s goods. However, I kinda reduced that stressful life when I got married. But when I started handmade beaded jewelry business while at work, my husband and I would stay up ’til 3am doing them and wake up at 6:30am to go to work… Did that on weekdays and just take a full day sleep on weekends. When I had my son, I decided not to work in a manufacturing environment because it demanded so much time. However, when I started teaching, I did the same thing – stayed up late to study or make my lessons. When I got hooked with Photoshop (editing pictures), I’d stay … Continue reading
WHO INFLUENCED YOU THE MOST?
SHE WRITES:I will only deal with one aspect and that is who made the greatest contribution when it comes to my self confidence – I would say my dad. I used to be very shy (people who personally know me will doubt this statement, but really, I was – shy). During parties, I would ask my dad to get my food because I was so shy to go near the table and be seen by a lot of people. However, in one of the parties we attended Papa (how I call my dad) asked me to look at everyone else from a distance and asked me what’s the difference with those people getting their food and me hiding on my seat. He asked if I had a nose, ears, eyes and etc. I said YES to all of his questions… Then he pointed out that there’s nothing to be ashamed … Continue reading
WITH OR WITHOUT SIBLINGS?
SHE WRITES:I would like to thank Ares for this topic suggestion ) As you can see, I have 5 of them – and i love having them in my life. My brothers gave me love and guidance – there are things I told my brothers and not my parents – like my first broken heart and my first boy friend. My parents were unaware but I cried with my brothers… I love my sister too. I love the fact that she sees me as her role model when it comes to almost everything. We share clothes and we sleep late just talking and talking. They’re all in the Philippines and I’m the only one away from home. I miss spending Dec. 24th with them because we have exchange gifts. So even if I’m here, we’re still included in our family Christmas party. We don’t spend new years together because 5 … Continue reading
GOT A TITLE FOR THIS?
SHE WRITES: I’d like to thank French Fancy for this website that she posted in her blog. I remember when I was in high school, we had this kind of test in our reading class where the teacher asked us to read an article and at the end, we would have to think of a fitting title for it. Well, that’s similar to what what we’ll do today, hihi… But don’t worry, I won’t ask you to read an article, but rather watch a very short and nicely done video. To give you an idea, it’s a painting ) It’ll only take a few seconds to load and a few seconds to view so no hassles, click away! Got a title for THIS VIDEO? Tell us about it… A. Yes I do… B. No I don’t, I’ll just go with the original title (KS) C. Others (pls. specify) And to … Continue reading

Unthinkable
This is an incredible story of a man named Scott Rigsby… An ordinary man who faced an accident that nearly destroyed his life, but God turned the situation around and used it for His Glory. An ordinary person changed and used by an extraordinary God – for us to see the reality of this verse: “All things work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose” Romans 8:28What is it you’re facing right now that seem hopeless? Don’t despair… HE IS IN CONTROL )Be Blessed…

DO YOU LIKE YOUR NAME?
SHE WRITES:Yes I do – I like all my names. My real name is Elizabeth Rose, my nickname is Maricar and my Chinese name is Meili. Different groups call me differently – my classmates call me by my real name; my family, relatives, church and workmates call me by my nickname; and in the blogging world and to some Chinese friends I use my Chinese name (because they can’t pronounce my other names). However, I have friends who literally despise the sound of their real names so they came up with another one for people around to use when referring to them and the only time they use their real names is when they need to sign legal papers or documents. I also came across this site What Not to Name Your Baby and the blogger lists down some of the unheard names – at least for me. Reading his … Continue reading
Can you imagine giving up your own son?
I’ve watched this video several times, but each time, I have to ask myself if I can give up my son’s life for the sake of saving hundreds… And every time my answer is NO… Yes, I am selfish and I believe I am most parents… BUT this video shows something different – a picture of how much God loves us that He gave His only son to save us all… This video shows it in a language we can all understand. Be Blessed… If you were in the father’s place, what would you do?

A Second Life?
Last night something terrible happened… I knew it was a dream but it felt so real that when I woke up, I had chest pains, catching my breath and my body so stiff. In Filipino term it’s like “bangungut.” A lot of people die in this kind of experience while sleeping, but I truly thank God I survived. It’s the first time it happened to me and I pray it’s the last. In my dream I felt very dizzy and everything around me was whirling, it got faster and faster and faster. I was trying to shout “langga” (which is how I call my husband) several times and trying to reach and wake him up because I knew exactly he was sleeping next to me. Everything in my mind and body was awake and conscious but as I shouted, no voice came out and as I moved my left hand, … Continue reading

Who I Am Makes A Difference
Whether we know it or not, we are making a difference in someone’s life… But it can either help them change for the better or for the worse. This video is just one of those moments where someone has made an impact in another’s life, but it then was passed on…. until it saved a life ) Be Blessed.
