Hello guy’s, it’s been a long while since our new post here sa Bahaynibato.com. Thanks for always checking us out on what’s going on dito sa bahay namin. Well, I just want to share another blessings that God gave us, not to boast but to always look at Him as the provider.

This thing has been prayerfully asked and researched if this is really what we really need. It takes a year before it finally come true, it’s a bike.

Rice and I always debates before we move on to the next level, meaning we discuss things that we want to buy if its really a need or a just a want. So we talked about it for a year or so..haha.. do we really need it? what does your friends say about having this ride? Is it really dangerous? brand new or second hand? do you already have a license? what if and what’s the? etc. etc. blah blah blah. Also what brand are we going to get. It should be less gas consumption, lesser maintenance, and best of all the concern is budget. So we canvassed for brand new and seconds. We visit Motortrade and other stores for the price and check which is better. Sometimes “nahiya” na kami kasi puro tanong na lang ng tanong, kala tuloy walang kaming pambili. more…

We were supposed to leave early in the morning to go to Mag-Aso Falls. But due to the heavy rainfall the previous night until early this morning, we were having second thoughts if we will still be going or not. Also, we still have some problem on who will be driving the second vehicle. Because Manang Sha was not feeling well at that time so it will be Manong Eman who will drive the Revo. If this will be the case, not everyone will be able come. Then we were told that Manang Ome will be driving the Revo, so Manong Eman can drive his Carry. At least with this arrangement, more people could come.

The drive to our destination was a bit scary. The road is slippery, and we thought that the Carry couldn’t ‘”carry” us through the steep roads up the mountains. But thank God, we arrived there safely.

Below are some of the pictures we have taken from that place. We could have taken more if time permits us. But we stayed there for just 2 hours because we have to go leave early for our flight back to Manila.

We arrived a little after 9am at the church. For the second time now, we were not able to hear Gabi and Bambam sing the Victory in Jesus (the first time was during AY program and we have to be in Cuneta Astrodome for Jimer’s singing group will sing in the SAM Anniversary). So I am expecting for some serious talks from the two girls for this.

When I went inside the church, I thought that it becomes smaller. Because I have the impression that it was bigger since the last time I went there which was around more than 12 years ago. One by one familiar faces approached us, but besides the relatives and the Jucal’s, I do not remember the others.

Our plane landed at around 10:08am in Silay City airport.  At last! After 12 years, I stepped again on the land where I was born.

This family trip is not planned.  Well you couldn’t say technically a family trip since the girls with Rabin and nanay were already in Himamaylan since Wednesday, Jimer is in Iloilo finishing some work and I was in Manila.  Due to the demands of living a normal life, we have to give up the opportunity of traveling together and spending more vacation time.  I was able to get permission for leave of absence for today only, that’s why I was the last to leave Manila.

Uncle Asher, Auntie Diding and Manong Alpha with Brix met me at the airport.  Since I will be meeting Jimer in Bacolod, I waited for him at SM Bacolod but the problem is, we do not know when he will be finished.  So from  12 noon I wandered inside the mall, and was surprised that I’ve been familiar with its every nook and corner.  Well who wouldn’t be if you have nothing to do for almost 8 hours! more…

Gabi was very excited in going to school camp last Feb 5-8.  Although being in the fourth grade is not required to go to camp, they were allowed so that they have a little experience of what to look forward to when it will be their “official” camping.  I was having second thoughts in allowing her, because this would be the first time that she’ll be away from us, away from her family’s care and support.  I couldn’t imagine what she’ll do there, to organize her things and herself in the first place.  I kept reminding, her hair is still being combed and styled by either me or her lola nanay, so how can she manage her life without us by her side? So after this, she put a brave front, doing almost anything which concerns her and try to hopelessly appear independent as much as possible.

With fingers crossed, we let her ride the bus that early Feb. 5 morning.  We gave her last minute reminders on what she should do when in a camp and to mind all her things, especially her tent and her sleeping bag.  That no matter what happened, don’t forget to brush her teeth before going to bed at night and wash her face, hands, feet and her “thing” if she can’t take a bath at night.  I know that the teachers are all there to take care of the children, but I am sure it will gonna be a bumpy ride.

We all have our ups and downs, trials in our life that sometimes we almost want to give in. But I myself treat this as a source of my spiritual power to strengthen my faith to Him and always hold on to His promises. Eversince, every time  I come to Him, He never fails me. Tried and tested my friends so don’t forget Him.

I want to share this words to you from Haven Today:

“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand” (Isaiah 41:10).
Scripture Focus: Isaiah 41:1-14

Who of us doesn’t need strength in this life? Many are the days in the day care center that I have in my home when I just pray I can make it to nap time and rest.

Life gets so busy for most of us. Our jobs and hectic schedules keep us on the go long before sun up and beyond sun down. We are in daily need of strength.

There are things which test us and try us, and we find that in our own strength we are unable to go on. God promises to give us that strength and to help us.

Is God challenging you with a difficult job or task? He will strengthen you for it.

Do you have ongoing health problems? His promise is for you, too.

Are you a caregiver for an elderly family member? Special strength is yours. No matter what God calls us to do, He gives strength for the task.

I worried about keeping up with the college kids on a tour to Israel, but God saw me through the long journey and carried me on His blessings each day.

Insight: God never gives us a task but that He gives us the strength to get it done.

Hello everyone! Just want to share what happened to our life for this month of February. Life is not always been very good but still all things work together for good this time. Early week of February has been very shocking in our family because my sister was found out to have tennis ball size like tumor or cysts in/on her ovary I really don’t know where inside. Everybody was threatened because we don’t know yet if this thing is benign or malignant. At this moment in time, I feel the heavens fell on me. I said to myself, every problems came to my life I try to solve no matter what but this time, it’s asking for a life if ever and that I can’t afford to happen.

At this point in time I was thinking of how can I get such big amount of money; doctors fee and operation will cost us a lot. First move is to look for a charity to lessen the bills and the right place is Chinese Hospital in Blumenttrit. Since then, anywhere I go a prayer is uttered silently begging to please atleast it’s not the worse yet. With the Lord’s help and guidance He lead the path to where we should go to. He give us friends who are willing to help financially and spiritually. To the brethren of Imelda Adventist Church, Vivien Subigca and Dayrest, Ma’am Feliciano, Ate Ester, Mrs. Bacud, Imelda Church and to all who extend their help to my sister, Thank you very much.

Two weeks ago, when I was trying to use our washing machine’s spinner in the middle of washing our clothes, I found out that it is not working.  Since I really need to finish what I’ve started, I’ve continued with my wash using the old fashion way, wringing the water out manually.

I was able to finish my task, but later I realized that the drying part takes longer as compared to using the spinner.  The usual 1-2 hours drying took almost the whole day.  And since the weather is not that good, I have to watch out for the rain or I’ll end up redoing my wash again because it will leave a rather not nice smell on our clothes.

We discussed about replacing the washing machine since it already marked its 10th birthday this month.  But when we checked on the price of new machines, it’s too pricey.  So we thought of having the spinner repaired which costs us around P800 as compared to 4K-5K of new machine, giving us a huge savings .

Well today is just any other day for Gabi. She’s still    like the usual, looking for something or someone that she can complain about. First, she still insists that we should join their field trip eventhough we have explained to her for so many times already why we will not be going, but still it seems she does not understand. Second, when she went home for lunch, she casually asks for P300. I asked her what’s it for this time and she told me that it will be payment For the cd compilation of all the activities they have in school. It seems that all activities from around last year or 2 years ago were recorded and now were available in this cd.

I patiently told her that this would not be necessary since we also have a recorded copy of all their activities at school, be it a video or a photo. So the fun begin! She keeps on arguing that it is really needed because all of them in class already reserved one copy and they were able to have a preview of what it is and they’re very excited to watch it in full. I explained to her that p300 is overly charged, they should have produced a yearbook instead of this random videos and digital photos, at least a yearbook is memorable. But as usual, above her tears, she keeps on insisting that we need to purchase the cd. I asked bam if she knows anything about this cd and somehow she has an idea, but what puzzles me is why is it that she’s not that insistent as her older sister? I asked also bam’s classmate who’s at our house at time about it and he told us that he will not be buying the cd. more…
