The Book: 40 years of the Sisters of Mary

December, 2008.  We all went for vacation to the Philippines and we stayed at the Sisters of Mary School for two weeks till we came back home.  Before that I bought some books from the school like "Killing Me Softly" by our very own Fr. Al, my batch 1992 year book, and lastly the 40 years of the Sisters of Mary in pictures. 

I wanted to share my experience about the book, 40 years of the Sisters of Mary in pictures.  Each time I look at the pictures of the Sisters of Mary and  Fr. Al last day on earth,  I can't control my tears, even just imagining the works of Fr. Al to the poorest of the poor, and even just writing this blog.  I feel something inside of me longing to be with Fr. Al again just like before and  be with the sisters inside the school.  I am so grateful that each time I remember the Sisters of Mary,  I am looking at myself now and my journey of life, it's all because of Fr. Al.

One day, my son asked me about Fr. Al after seeing the pictures from the book.  He said, somewhat like this.  Why Fr. Al was sleeping?  What is he doing on that literally coffin (but he mentioned different word)?  How did they took the pictures of Fr. Al from heaven (since I told him Fr. Al was already in heaven)?  I just couldn't tell him directly that Fr. Al passed away a long time ago and that he is no longer with us but somehow, little by little I tried to explain to my son the understanding that a human being are not permament on earth and that everybody are just "passing by".

My Daily Exercise at Home - Zumba Fitness

I wrote a blog previously about my desperation to lose weight as I am really overweight.  As of now, I think I am 165 lbs.  and my goal to lose weight should reach 125 lbs. or closer.  Last Christmas, I gave a gift to my son -- a  Wii Console,    since he had been waiting for us to give him a Wii on his 6th birthday last year ,  but  I felt that he is still young to play video games, so, I didn't grant his wish,  only last Christmas that I decided to buy a Wii because he is really begging for it. First time I ever seen a video games also...Yes, its my first time...so don't laugh at me.  Hahaha, I am very traditional mom.  Never seen a video games before.  But anyway, my son started playing Wii almost everyday...huh! Children sometimes uncontrollable when they are playing games. :) Anyway, while watching my son playing Wii Sports and Wii Resort, I am too getting excited and later on,...

REVISIT - JUST REMEMBERING

I am not gone in this blog; I just have another blog that I am updating more often than this blog.  This is my family personal blog, and so I thought I will not post our activities for a while.  But anyway, so many things have changed in my life and to my family as well.  My dearest son is now 11 y/o with flying colors in the middle school.  He was just selected to be a member of National Honor Society having an A+ grade.  I am now busy with my soapmaking blog and little online business selling soaps. And the best part that happens to me just 6 months ago was being employed by government agency serving the veterans nationwide.   Life is full of meaning, so we are living to its fullest with the guidance and help of God......see you later again.

Finally back to blogging...My First IPAD

Wh ile talking to my friend in Japan using Viber, here I am blogging my first ac quired ipad 3 - 64GB.  A reasonable price from Wal mart worth $599. 00 with free $ 30.00 o f iTunes.  A gift that I gave to my son on Christmas day 2012.  At first I was thinking whether I have to give him Nook because he likes to read books, but  then I really want to have an IPad. Although more expensive than Nook,  I finally decided to buy from Walmart instead of buying from Apple store that is worth more than $700.00. I think I made the right decision.
