Someone cares...

Every one has their own battle to fight and own struggles to undertake.  It may not be the same as to what others are facing and definitely will not be the same weight as what others are carrying.  One can never tell the depth or degree of their difficulty unless otherwise, we are put in their shoes.  The point is no one is excused or exempted from facing difficulties that life has to give.









We experience all sorts that fills our memory box.  From good to bad experiences, happy to not-so-happy memories.  We have seen different kinds already and have faced and surpassed them all.
And at the end of the day, we gladly tell ourselves that it has made us a better person.  I always hear the tag line "What doesn't kill me makes me stronger" and I believe that it's true.  Because it's human nature to act for it's survival and as part of our being humane is our ability to improve ourselves after we have surpassed the trials and challenges.





Our ability to survive depends primarily on ourselves, our FAITH.  The way we deal with the situation and our attitude towards it..  After which, credits should be given to our loved-ones, family and friends, who acts us our support system in times of our disparity and brings a positive environment which plays big factor in overcoming trials and difficult situations.      
                         

Of course, after all else has been said the Glory of surviving remains to God Almighty.  He who knows the reason why we face such difficulty and He who helps us surpass every trial we encounter and He alone who never neglects us.

When everything is not going as planned, when you have done everything to ease your worry and solve your problem, when all things are not clear..

Pray.
                                     
He listens to them and answers them.

Today, Tyrone and I have lit a candle and whispered a short prayer for you, someone we know who is struggling physically, emotionally and spiritually, that you may be able to have the strength to endure the pain and the courage to surpass this.  His ways may not be easily understood, but God has his reason.  Just keep the faith.

One Laid back Friday

Some days are just so busy while some days are casual.  For a change, we had a one laid back friday.  No beer, cocktails, loud music and not in a crowded bar.  Just at home with my husband, a simple dinner which I prepared and a suspense movie.

I was never a fan of thriller, suspense or horror. But watching this movie made me enjoy my Friday. Quality time with my husband.

Fun-filled Love Month

February is a month of many occasion in the family.  Birthdays, reunions, chinese new year (my mom has been very fond of attending this celebration) and valentines day.  It has been a very busy month for us and undeniably a happy month for me.  Occasions are best celebrated with family and loved ones.

Starting out the month of Love is a sudden meet out with 2 of my closest classmates in my senior year

Just like the old times, we laughed like we used to.  Teased and talked like the old days and exchange advices like the usual. 

This was followed with the double celebration of Carmi's Birthday and the Christening of their daughter Marty, our friends little angel.

Welcome to Christian world, Marty! 

a night filled with stories and a lot of catching up...  

The ties that bond is just getting bigger and better, with our spouses as part of our circle..

A week after, we started the week long celebration of my husband.  Spent the time together, laughed and celebrated together.  And as part of our celebration, we tried our luck as we stayed in this hotel with casino. And He was surprisingly lucky!

He is just so busy playing nba.. :)

With our matching shirt.. Red is Love. He is love.. :)

Celebrations continued as we drove our way to the Chinese New Year Celebration at Mandarin Hotel.  To meet my mom and siblings.  It was a bountiful and fun night.. It surely ruined our diet, but grateful because the dishes that were served were really great.
                           

It was a night of predictions and readings which was informative and entertaining.  

This is also a lucky year for those born in 1984.. Lucky husband, indeed!

How can I forget Heart's day.  Normally, we just prepare dinner during this occasion because we know that restaurants are almost full and that malls are piled up with numerous of love birds.  But for a change we had lunch out.  Taking risk of a restaurant that's not full, we succeeded.  Looking back during our college days, I personally am not the type who would celebrate hearts day with the bunch of lovers.  But I must admit, it was fun and sweet. :)

One happy wife..

February is also the birth month of my mother.. Of course, we also celebrated her birthday with our family and relatives.  It was a simple lunch to dinner celebration and I can see that my mom's super happy with her birthday celebration.  Having all the people she wanted to be with, she depicts an image of a happy person.

And she just doesn't look like she's 54.. :)

Before I bid busy February goodbye, I had the chance to meet a college friend who just came back from Canada.  From hi's and hello's, we had a lot of sharing from experiences, stories and thoughts.  Exchanged advices and what to's.  Something's just never changed.. 

A cup of coffee tasted better when shared with a friend who has a lot to say and talk about.

It was a really busy month.  Nevertheless, I do not regret it.  February is really a love month for me.
