My Best Friend's Wedding

It's the perfect time for one of my best friends to get married! Finally!Well truly good things happen to those who wait...patiently in the Lord.

Hilde and I had known each other since I was a young Christian.She was my third discipling partner -after my dear Ate Meanne and Aimee.She had discipled me for quite sometime and helped me in my walk with God.I probably gave her a lot of headaches.She is known as a very encouraging sister,she even won an award as the Most Encouraging person hahaha.

a note for me 

she is so sweet

We even became house mates and had many experiences together. We had ghosts experiences in one house we lived in Cubao which was so creepy I wrote about it here . Then we moved again to another house in the same area where we had a big bump because I locked the door and went to sleep, so she was knocking and knocking but no one heard until Mitch finally woke up and opened the door for her!

When I won a raffle ticket for two to Bohol I went there with her because no one in my family can go.I was so knocked out tired the first night that I fell asleep right away. 

we're stoked

chillin

We also went to many friends weddings together most of which she was the brides maid or maid of honor of the bride ,including mine!We had a lot of fun!

Shelter, refuge and streams of water in the desert

The Kingdom of Righteousness
See, a king will reign in righteousness
    and rulers will rule with justice.
Each one will be like a shelter from the wind
    and a refuge from the storm,
like streams of water in the desert
    and the shadow of a great rock in a thirsty land.

Isaiah 32:1-2

Everything Jesus taught was designed to create a church in which people would be this faithful and this helpful to one another in real life, as Isaiah describes poetically. ---Discipling by G Ferguson pp31

I just came across this scripture and insight and it is comforting that I can see and experience this -- Blessed are my eyes Mt 13:16-17!!!

However, sometimes I don't experience it and I feel lonely ,but I can rest assured that even if the people are not around, He is with me all the time.

Fashionising: Cut Out Dress Sunday Best

I had to stitch the front cut out to prevent a wardrobe malfunction and to make it modest : ) material is silk and chiffon.

Photobooks from Photobook Philippines

Preserving memories in cute 6x6 40-page mini square soft cover photo books.

I downloaded their software and made my own photobook.I also used one of their templates which can be downloaded from their website http://www.photobookphilippines.com/. I think it's easy because I made like 6 of them!

I got vouchers for these from Ensogo and Metrodeals. Shipping fee was 150 Php through snail mail.We were also asked by the local post office to pay additional 100Php.But now shipping is 300Php through courier DHL.The delivery guy had a hard time finding our address because he cannot leave his van,I think.I even had to send customer service a sketch of our place.The good thing is, I was visiting my mom in Caloocan so I was able to schedule the delivery while I was there.

Chocolate cake

I suddenly had a flood of memories of Landayan, San Pedro Laguna. We moved there when I was around 6 or 7 and stayed there until my 3rd grade.One of my fond memories was coming home from school and being excited to get a slice of our favorite chocolate cake with several layers.Me and my cousin Cris often had a slice of chiffon cake for our school snacks.My mom used to bake them,she would bake upside-down cake with pineapples,banana cake,loaf bread,other sweet breads,cup cakes and even single size pizza which she also sold to neighbors.

I think I got the baking skill from her although I rarely bake nowadays except for the communion bread I make each Sunday for the church.She has several baking tools and my papa would also buy her the same things so she would have 2 of each LOL.I asked her for some of her old tools and that's what I use now in my own kitchen.
