My 30 Days of Gratitude ended last Monday! I missed out blogging some of those days, and normally I would consider that as failure. But I've been learning to not beat myself up for not meeting my own standards, if you know what I mean. Looking back, I can only be grateful for ...
Day 26: Cancelled movie date, chocolates, and Valentines
1. Cancelled movie date. We reserved seats to watch Warm Bodies (yup, zombie love for Valentines!) twice and cancelled them twice too because we couldn't leave the house. We couldn't find a babysitter, for one. We have one yaya, but we need at least 2 people watching over the ...
Day 23: Memory Lane, surprise visit, and someone dreamed about me
1. Memory lane. I finally got around to processing the photos from our Tagaytay trip. And by memory lane I mean both relieving memories from that day, and the name of that quaint little cafe we visited in Tagaytay. One of these days I'll post more photographs, you know, blogger ...
Day 22: Leading worship, speaking to the youth, and lovin’ my family
1. Leading worship. My husband was assigned to lead the praise and worship in church last Sunday, and I stood up there with him again (at his request). It's what I would do too when I'm the one leading worship—I'd ask him to stand up there with me. Not that we couldn't do it ...
Day 19: Day off, married friends, and coming home
1. Day off. It was the first time we went out-of-town without the twins, and the farthest we ever got away from them since they were born. Lola Norma came to watch over the babies while Mommy & Daddy took a day off with some married friends. It almost felt like we just got ...
Day 18: Real food, sleeping routine, and a timely reminder
1. Real food. Today we had chopseuy for lunch, a huge improvement from the cans of tuna, spam, and corned beef we've been eating the past days. With our pantry and ref replenished with goods from our recent grocery shopping, we have two weeks worth of real and healthy menu in ...
Day 17: No time to blog, grocery therapy, and 13 days left
1. No time to blog. I'm not sure what made this week different from the week before it, and why I couldn't find time to do other things besides alternately and/or simultaneously watching over our twins. Days have been fast, and no matter how I try to set aside time to write, I ...
Day 16: February, Alias marathon, and missing my Dad
1. February. I just looooove Februarys. I love that it's 2-3 days shorter than the usual month, and I love that it's the month of love. This blog has been a witness to some of my happy February days. Click away: February 2010. February 2011. February 2012. 2. Alias marathon. ...
Day 15: Lost and found, catching up, and Sunday nights
1. Lost & found. Sunday morning, I happened to be given a chance to welcome and get to know two first-timers in church. One of the girls described herself as feeling "lost", and we discussed in length how we can find direction and purpose if only we would let God take over ...
Day 14: Hello sunshine, home-baked cookies, and missing my husband
1. Hello sunshine. If Rain likes taking baths, Dawn likes waking up in the morning! (I mean, really, can their names be any more prophetic?) It was Saturday morning and Daddy was leaving early for the last day of Men's Encounter. I can't really remember how he managed to leave ...
Day 13: Bath times, solitude, and another encounter
She was waving her hand! Hello! :) 1. Rain and bath times. If there's one thing about Rain, she's the twin who knows what she wants and gets it—I'm loving that about her! So last Friday she spent the whole day almost like scolding me for not being able to figure out what she ...
Day 12: January, totally smitten, and 52 week project
1. January. I'm not going to ask where has January gone, I know exactly where it went. Today I thank the Lord for Januarys, for 2013's firsts, for breakthroughs, for love that gets renewed every morning, and for new beginnings. 2. Totally smitten. The twins are starting to ...
