another long day today. I have somebody from church to come and take care of our laundry for us. Lightens my load a `lil bit as far as household chores is concern. Well, i still do a lot of cleaning (nadagdagan pa ngaun kasi si charis nasa hongkong).. i needed to help in church - paglilinis - during worship days, our manpower is so so limited. As I told you, everybody is busy. Medyo nakakahiya pang humingi ng tulong!! Sa pamamalengke naman ay bihirang-bihira ngaun........ugh, walang panahon magluto. AT kung magluluto naman ako, eh walang kumakain. Hindi ko alam kung saan napupunta ang mga "gana" ng mga tao dito sa bahay....Hubby and I are out most of the time. Kapag umuuwi, gabi na po!!.
Some updates:
June 21 - Visited bong at dusit hotel where he stayed before going to Baguio city for Tugon. Greeted each other na para bang andyan lang siya sa Baclaran nakatira. Was glad seeing him again..... pero medyo may nabago sa akin... hindi na ako yung tipong iyakin gaya noon. Siguro nag-matured na, hehehe! ( i am not the cry-baby anymore). Thanks to the internet. Makes me feel so close to everybody. I could reach out to you.........YM, webcam, blog atbp..
June 22 - In Baguio city. We had free hotel accomodation. Thanks for the generosity of Bongpatts. We enjoyed the morning lectures and evangelistic service at Pastor Banez church at night. God`s spirit was so refreshing. Diretso kami sa hotel ni bong sa Camp John Hay after the service at dun nagbaha ang pizza. Inuwi pa namin ang iba sa Manila kinabukasan. What a night of fellowship with those people I love.... kuwentuhan, tawanan.... at tinawagan kami ng kapit kuarto at sinabing "maingay" daw kami. The Escolanos were with us. I will add here that Jeannie and Nelia have finally decided to come back home to the fold of UPC. Their real home. Hope this time, for good....
June 23 - Headed for Manila as we have a former appointment to conduct a health seminar in Taguig church. We were successful with our purpose... quite contented and happy with how they accepted and accomodated us, so kahit medyo pagod at may konting stress our day ended productive i should say.
Ang mga sumunod na araw ay medyo hectic ulit. I know it does not concern you and it will just bore you to death kung isa-isahin ko pa.... I just want to say that God is good and faithful. Everyday God`s goodness and approval is just so evident. I thank Him for answering all of our prayers!!
As of this writing, i miss my boys terribly. Dave is still in Hongkong and charis also left yesterday. I really wish i am there for Tugon tomorrow. Pero hindi pinahintulot ng Panginoon kasi nga hindi ako nakasama. With that I am content.
Guys, got to go. Hubby is in a hurry again. I have so much to say sana, pero stop na lang. Paalis na talaga kami. Our company said they will give us an achievement award tonight for working hard the past month ( dapat lang) so pupunta na kami. Next time na lang ulit.
Please bear with my bits and pieces today. I`m also so much at a loss for words. Ayaw gumana utak ko, hehehe.
I hope all is well with you guys. I love you all.

teacher kai`s assignment #2
10 lists of my life`s simplest pleasure:
l) Supermarket - i love going to the supermarket. I like checking out new products, comparing prices and going through rows and rows of breakfast cereals, canned goods, dressed chicken, fresh veggies, fruits section and what-have-you. I could spend hours just roaming and wandering its aisles delighting in its smells and colors. There are days when there are product sampling too, masarap tumikim-tikim, hehhehe!! Of course i only get what are written in my list... yea, being in a supermarket makes my day...
2) Long drives - but only leisure ones. No hurry, no errand and no business deals na hinahabol. just sitting beside hubby enjoying beautiful sceneries and nature while we go along. Not keeping track of time, basta malayo sa pressures of everyday life. Usually i like it when driving to places outside Manila.
3) Eating out - I really enjoy eating out especially when our boys are with us. I most ly like it when we as a family have something to celebrate........or lalong-lalo na kapag madaling araw at isa kami sa mga taong gising pa at nasa isang restaurant habang ang mundo ay himbing na himbing sa pagkakatulog, hehehe!! weird??
4) My cellfone - gives me company. Kahit mag-isa lang ako minsan sa bahay, kapag tumunog siya, i know there`s someone i could talked to or kahit text lang... keeps me updated with everybody.
5) computer - this one keeps me connected to my loveones even if we`re separated by millions of miles. I find blogging really enjoyable. Here, i could express myself , taking out what`s inside and putting it into writing.
One of these days, I would like to give myself a real nice gift - a laptop. oh di ba? hindi masamang mangarap!!
6) Sweets - you know what i mean. Counted na dyan ang cakes, ice cream, chocolates and desserts. Alam ba ninyo, kaya nahirapan akong mag-diet kasi lagi akong nananaginip sa mga "sweets" na itoh? I don`t know but i just love them.. This world will not be a happy place to live in without them. I think i`m created loving and craving for them.....
7) foot spa and manicure (cleaning lang) - I have my fingernails manicured two times a month. Ang sarap ng pakiramdam ng may malinis na mga kuko...... at walang ingrown.
8)My children - they`re grown-ups now and not kids anymore. But for me, they`re still my "little boys". I will always be grateful to God for giving them to us. Hubby and me always looks forward to their hug and kiss everytime they come home from their days toil.. It`s so lonely not having them around physically. I know time will come they would leave home to have their own families......i refused to think of it...but for now, while they`re still with us we will enjoy them while it last.
9) Hubby - We are not a perfect couple. We`re so differently made....hehehe!! We differ in so many things, views, opinions and others. Maybe that`s what attracts us to each other. Would you believe na kahit 28 years na kaming kasal ay sometimes nag-aadjust pa rin kami? I tend to hurt him oftentimes with my words but I know i can`t and will never live without him in my life.....(ka-cornihan na naman!!). My prayer always is that i may be a good wife and companion for him... I will always thank God for giving me a husband that always keeps up with my moods..... in return, i`m trying to be sweet and nice. God knows i`m doing my best....
10) Music - it`s what i`m made of. My softest part is music. Kaya siguro I can best worship God when I am singing . Every word of each song I sing seemed to speak directly to my heart and soul. Thank you Lord for giving me a song in my life.....
Kai, ayan na ha....`til my next assignment. Pinag-isip mo ako dyan ha.. Forgive my wrong grammars. I am in a hurry!!

busyness
i think it`s officially rainy season in our part of the globe now. We get heavy rains almost every night, occassional typhoons.......but i just wonder why its still so, so humid hot during the day, afternoon the hottest. well, i gotta keep it always in mind i`m in the philippines!!!
today is one of those hectic days. I woke up earlier than usual. Hubby and me have this very important appointment with some special people. I prepared him something presentable outfit to wear, para pa-impress naman di ba? Pinalantsa ko at naka-hanger, sabi ko isabit na lang sa kotse pagdating namin doon saka na lang niya isusuot. We were such in a hurry, mumbled a short prayer then off we go. Halos paliparin namin ang kotse. Sure enough when we reach our meeting place those people are already there `cause we spotted their car parked outside our building. Hubby is in his undershirt, so isusuot na lang niya ang longsleeves with matching tie pa......but alas, asan na?? hinanap namin, then realized hindi namin nadala sa pagmamadali!!! Pwede na sana yong pangloob niya, kaso may butas sa may kili-kili...ano ba yan. ...medyo sira na ang araw ko!! mabuti na lang may lumang t-shirt na naka-stock sa kotse ng matagal na, medyo marumi na nga pero mabuti na lang yon kay sa wala.....hayun!!!
Life is quite pleasant if left alone in its simplicity, you think so? But it is usually late when we learn this. We find out we always make it so complicated.....hayyyy busyness!!! Seems everybody we meet and come in contact with these days is busy. Try asking somebody how they are and the reply is nearly always "i`m busy". It is as though there`s something wrong with you if you`re not busy. It means you`re not in, not updated with the flow and demands of our present time. If you see it, it seems there are just too much to do and oftentimes just because other people are influenced by this busy spirit we allow ourselves to be affected. How can we avoid being stressed and coming out of that place of rest in God?
I have to be honest, i`m not lovable and attractive type when i`m in stress. Although i grade myself a better person now than I used to be, i`m still constantly working on myself. Kapag maraming ginagawa, at pagod na, ayan na - irritable and freaked out na (excuse the words) and when in this mood, careless words would start coming out and because my loveones are the ones being there, sila ang nasasaktan ko. I know this is not right. It marred my relationship with them especially hubby and it`s not that easy to sort out each mess i have created. Most importantly, its one subtle hindrance with my relationship with God. For He seems so far away.
But i know He has not moved - i have. I have moved from that place of childlike faith and trust that He is in control of everything and that according to Ephesians 1:11 "He worketh all things after the counsel of His own will".
All i really needed to do is finding that time and place of rest in God`s presence. Kneeling in prayer any time of the day. May it be early in the morning, or noon, at night.......... in the midst of the battles and struggles .....of life. I know that no matter how busy and occupied i become i needed to slow down and take time to escape to be where the presence of God is.
As I kneel down and relaxed in prayer, relief washed over me in a flood. I could feel His arms of love around me. Joy and peace flooded my soul. Once more, God is in control.

tag time ( my favorite assignment!)
What`s the story of.........
Your name:
magulo at "makulit" din ang story ng name ko. Noong lumaki ako at nag-aaral ng elementary ang alam kong pangalan ko ay "Virginia". So gamit gamit ko siya hanggang sa nag-graduate ako ng grade VI. Pagtungtong ko ng high school palibhasa marami nang nagtatanong tungkol sa akin na sabi nila may "crush" daw sa akin, hehehe, ginawa kong medyo modern ang name ko at naging, Virgie. So virgie it was until I decided to apply for a passport. Eto na, pumunta ako sa NSO at kumuha ng copy ng birth certificate ko, aba....... hindi virginia or virgie kundi Jeremy. (ang layo noh?) Ang ginawa ko, may kakilala ako noon sa munisipyo nagpagawa ako ng birth certificate at ang nilagay ko ay Jeremy Virgie kasi natakot ako na magka-problema dahil lahat ng records ko sa high school ay virgie na. Ano ba yan, ang gulo. Kaya mula noon naging Jeremy Virgie na ang name ko sa passport, pati sa marriage contract at iba pang legal documents from then on. Alam nyo ba, naging Phoebe din daw ang pangalan ko noong bata ako. Pero noong tinutukso daw ako ng mga kalaro ko na may TB (ka-sound kasi sa Phoebe) pinalitan daw ni mother ng Virginia. Eto naman si Virginia ay isang maganda at mestisa na dalaga na naging kapitbahay nila mama noon kaya hayun ipinangalan na naman niya ako doon.....siguro gusto niyang maging kasingganda ako dun. hay naku, mama talaga, sobrang bata pa noon - parang naglalaro lang!!
My parents:
May alam ako konti about my parents love story. Si papa boarder sa bahay nila mother. Second year high noon si mama at si papa ay teacher niya sa school. Dahil nga medyo stable na si papa sa buhay (professional na) ay gusto ng grandfather ko na si papa na ang mapangasawa ni Lily. (ang anak niyang bugay at batang isip pa. Noon kasi pwede ang parents ang pipili ng mapapangasawa). Ewan, siguro beauty talaga si mama at na-inlove din ang teacher niya sa kanya kahit walay bout. love notes or letters ang pinapadala ni papa sa kanya pero hindi binabasa ni mama kasi may iba pala siyang crush, ayayayyyyy! Eto namang auntie Felipa (eldest sister ni mama ay gumawa din ng sulat para kay papa at nilagay niya na galing kay mama at sinasagot na ni mama si papa. Hindi ito alam ni mama. Meron na pala siyang boyfriend in the person of papa. Kinabukasan, maaga si mama nagising at nagsaing ng almusal, maaga din si papa nagising. At dahil akala niya na sinagot na siya ni mama at mag-on na sila, biglang inakbayan si mama. (noon parang nagnakaw ka na ng halik nyan). Yun pala nakita ni grandpa at isi-net agad ang kasal. Hayy salamat na lang at mabilis si papa!!
My last Birthday:
Kami lang sa bahay ang nag-celebrate at 12:o`clock midnight. Hinintay namin umuwi si Dave at may dala siyang favorite cake ko. Masaya ako at enjoy na enjoy kasi kasama ko silang mga pinakamamahal ko sa buhay. Dalawa ang bisita namin: si Jeff at Dondon, hehehe!!
My first love:
Ang akala ninyong first love ko ay hindi talaga yun....... tulad ng sinabi ni Jean, "i remember the boy, but i don`t remember the feeling anymore. Isa lang ang laman ng puso ko ngayon - si hubby..... (naks, ka-cornihan!!)
My (recent) room
Hindi lang si hubby ang ka-share ko kundi ang mga binata ko din. Meron silang kanya-kanyang room kaya lang dahil sa pagtitipid namin ng kuryente doon sila natutulog sa room namin para isang aircon lang ang gagamitin. okey din di ba? at least nakatipid. For me, my room is the most relaxing part of our house and most comfortable too!!
My last christmas:
We don`t celebrate christmas day... though, wala lang, I always prepare a special meal for the family to share together on this day. Special moment for us to remember. We give out gifts on New Year`s day na.
My last Valentine`s day:
We don`t celebrate Valentines day. It`s not in our family`s calendar. We give love everyday, and if thats what valentine`s day meant, then valentines is everyday for us...
My current clothes:
Matagal ko nang tinago (ang iba pinamigay ko) ang mga blazers at mga damit na may corporate look. Recently, i started taking it out again, medyo kasya na naman sa `kin at kailangan din kasi na magsuot ako ng corporate attire everytime i go with hubby to meet people and in the office as well.
First time I saw my crush:
iyak ako ng iyak noon. Lalo na kapag hindi ako pinayagan ni mother na umaatend noong crusade sa plaza. I was 13 yrs. old, and this guy won`t even bother to look my way. Kasi hindi niya ako kilala. That time ang daming magagandang dilag ang may crush sa kanya. He was quite famous, hearthrob. He was an evangelist from Manila na nagcrusade sa plaza ng Gensan at humanga ako kasi ang galing niyang magsalita lalo na Tagalog. Kaya noong matapos ang one week na crusade nila umuwi na siya sa manila at umiyak talaga ako kasi na-miss ko siya. Hinanap ko siya sa mga "yearbook" ng Assemblies of God bible School sa manila at nalaman ko ang maraming bagay tungkol sa kanya. Noong 15 yrs. old na `ko nasa Manila na kami nakatira. 5 years pa ang lumipas, pumunta ako sa isang concert ng "Papuri singers" sa Philamlife theater. Nakita ko siya dun.......nakaupo sila ng misis niya at anak ( binata pa siya noong nakilala ko siya) sa malapit lang sa kinauupuan ko. of course, hindi niya ako kilala... Diyos ko, bigla kong na-realized bakit ako nagka-crush sa kanya hindi pala siya guapo.....maitim....at bansot pa!! ang napangasawa niya ay duling - true, hindi ako nagbibiro. Mula noon, smile na lang ako `pag naisip ko siya. ( grabe noh? ni hindi man lang niya nalaman na may isang dalagita na nagka-crush sa kanya....!!!)
My best friend:
i had a best friend when i was second year high school. Kamukha ko siya. Kapag magkasama kami sa school akala ng iba ay magkakambal kami. I never had a best friend like her.. Sobrang sweet at mabait. click na click kami. That time may leukemia siya..Lagi siyang inaatake noon. Nang lumipat na ang patts family dito sa Maynila ay wala na akong balita tungkol sa kanya. We didn`t communicate. Ayaw ko rin, kasi ayaw ko na one day mabalitaan ko na lang na "wala na" siya!!
Last place I went:
Yesterday at the office. (this business we are having now) Hubby was talking to some people inquiring about the business while i served them hot, steaming or (stimming?) coffee to make it more convincing, hehehe!!
Greatest achievement:
I can`t think of a better achievement in life.......yes, being a wife and mother - having to raise good kids like mine. Kids who make God the center of their lives. That alone makes my heart sing and filled with joy overflowing.... (Lord, cover them with your precious blood....)
hayyyyy, i love having assignments like this. Di ba enjoy??

dave left today....for HK(can`t think of a title)
just been to the airport to see dave left for Hongkong today. He was our preacher this morning in church , pero ngayong gabi sa hongkong na siya matutulog... I`m sure we`re gonna miss him. He`ll be away for over a month ( dat will be a long time, lols ) we`re really used to have him around... Andun siya hanggang Tugon.
nagparamdam lng... can`t think of anything to say. atska ang daming "lamok" sa paanan ko. kinakagat ako. I will get back to you guys some other time...
been hooked to a lot of things lately. I want to share some of it to you but don`t know how and where to start. Generally, i`m happy and thankful to the way things are turning out for me and my loveones these days. He`s a wonderful God. One thing is sure. He is our Jehovah-jireh. Whatever breakthroughs you ask, our God is more than enough to grant it to us. Dave was preaching from Ephesians 3:20 "Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us"...... Just imagine, if he can supply us with the things that are beyond or above all that we ask or even think, how much more with the things that we ask him in prayer. Surely it`s all within our reach, just trust and believe.
hmmm..... i`m kind of bubbly today. maybe because i don`t have those headaches anymore for a long time. thanks, it has something to do with these supplements i`m taking...... and this family business that`s taking lots of our time pero enjoy naman siyempre, hehehe!! Don`t misunderstand, God`s work is still first and foremost. ( i`m sure this is God`s answer to all our prayers).
gonna tell you more of my life`s happenings for the past month pero next time na lang. (hindi ako komportable dito sa kinauupuan ko ngaun....sobrang daming mga lamok, at sobrang init....tumatagaktak pawis ko, huhuhuhu!!!) By the way, it`s cooler at night kasi umuulan na palagi...... consolation, huh?? .......
teka, wala nga akong masabi....
