garden of my life

Earlier today sis J texted me and asked that we meet at the shopping mall near our place. And since niece J  is also at my place to visit me and my son, I tag her along.

Yehey! Sis treat us to a lunch at Max’s. As usual, food was great. But more than that, we had a lovely time just being together and sharing our thoughts on just about everything. And what a lovely surprise, sis gave me her belated gift for my birthday, this purse in the pic. After our hearty lunch, we decided to watch a  movie. Fun, fun ,fun.  I sure would want to have more dates with sis in the near future. To mana J, thank you for being such a wonderful sister to me. The fact that you are the one who sent me to college, I am forever grateful to you.  I love you sis and God bless you and your family, always.

Yesterday I turned a year older, age: forty something ($?). Thanks to all who greeted me thru email, text and call. It surely is heartwarming to be remembered. But like the past years, I opted to made no fuss about it and spend the day like an ordinary day. I was just at home doing my daily chores. But hub insisted when he called that I and my son dine in a restaurant of our choice. So when my son got home from school, off we went to Dencio’s. And we filled-up our stomach with these;

After the early dinner, we shopped for my son’s slippers and something for the living room. After which, we attended the 6:30-7:30 p.m. mass at our Parish. And just before we went home we bought a black forest cake to cap our little celebration.

Happy? Not quite. But I am grateful for everything. And I trust things will turn out just fine for my family and E clan in God’s perfect time. So I wish myself one more time…Happy Birthday!

I so love chocolates I can finish a big bar of it in a few minutes, the same goes with my son. In other words, matakaw kami sa chocolates, hehe. So when I learned yesterday that my neighbor would be shopping at Duty free, I requested her to buy some for us- may bayad, of course. Here I want to share it with you folks, have a bite. By the way, hubby said it would be his Valentines’ gift for us already (hehehe, ang daya! pero pwede na). Thanks a lot . Happy Valentine’s day to you. Though we are miles apart, you are always here in our hearts. Your son and I would like to tell you that we love you and we are thankful for all the things you have done for us. God bless us always.

“Ang puso ko’y nagpupuri, nagpupuri sa Panginoon, nagagalak ang aking espiritu sa aking Tagapagligtas…: Yup, I am humming this song of praise when I wake up today. My heart is so full of gratitude to the Lord for another answered prayer. He is really merciful and forgiving. And it’s true that once you will lift up everything to HIM, things will happen for the best according to His will. So now, with a heart full of gratitude, I say, Thank you dear Jesus. Mama Mary we love you. Please keep us always under your mantle protection, forever, AMEN.

Have a blessed day everyone.

The other day my neighbor/friend asked me to accompany her to Eurotiles in Silang- to canvass for ceramic tiles. On our way home, we passed a stall selling fresh/raw sweet corn. We bought some, and as soon as I arrived home I steamed it for our merienda. Take a look:

The verdict? Super sweet and yummy with anchor butter. Sarap talaga, promise. (note: looking at this picture makes me hungry-time for merienda)

Have a nice day!
