Family Outing

It was the last day of summer vacation for my son Gelo. Then since my work assignment would limit our future outings, the whole family decided to do some bird watching together with his cousins in the nearby watershed.


Too bad we did not get to reach the actual site due to on going road repairs, but we still had quite some fun along the road. Using the binoculars, Gelo hunted for birds flying across the field, while the rest of us spread out for the photo op & did sky watching until dusk.

We might have missed the birds, but we sure did capture the moment.

The Power of Our Inner Glow

Jaymes was already discharged yesterday. ECL said he was diagnosed to have had functional abdominal pain with antral gastritis. It was a great relief.

Thank you for all that shared a prayer for Jaymes' quick recovery. Its a demonstration of how powerful our concerted efforts can be, no matter how diversified we are.

The radiance of our individual glow can create a soothing and harmonious impact...and it is in knowing that we made someone feel better, where we get the greatest reward. All thanks to you... and you... and of course, to you.

Lets share a little Prayer

Hi! Thank you for dropping by my site today. I would appreciate it even better if you could join me in giving a little prayer for eastcoastlife's son, Jaymes.

He has been suffering from acute abdominal pains for weeks now and the team of doctors treating him is still uncertain of its cause. It is our hope, praying in faith, that Jayme's be healed.

Thank you for your time.

Dona Nobis Pacem

Today I join the multitude striving for peace around the world. Instead of just hearing the desire for world peace from beauty pageant contestants, here's a way where we can make a contribution.

Last May 27, I was tagged by Maiylah regarding a blog blast for the Peace Globe Post more commonly known as Dona Nobis Pacem. We joined a growing link of bloggers around the world, committed to make a difference for global peace. Together we increase the awareness one link at a time.

Nowadays, the news of fighting and wars is a common head line story. Then lately, global pressures on food crisis has troubled a lot of Asian countries. Then the horrors of Myanmar & China shocked us all. Its as if, the world is nearing its end.

But then again, it is written: "And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars; see that ye be not be troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet." (Mat 24:6 KJV)

For sure we will encounter troubled times. It will be difficult, no doubt. Fighting for the basic living necessity will drive many towards violence. But if we continuously do our effort in believing and living in peace, with faith, we shall all be victorious.

MAY PEACE BE WITH YOU MY FRIEND.

Wordless Wednesday: Bring it on!

Cutting Through

My colleagues at work and I had a team building activity in Subic. We took the newly opened express way going there and the sceneries were just magnificent.

They named it Subic-Clark-Tarlac-Express Way (SCTEX). Its a 94KM super highway that connect Subic Bay in Zambales to the free port zone in Clark, Pampanga and all the way to Tarlac. What used to be a 2 hour drive from Clark to Subic, has been reduced to a mere 45 minutes drive.

To do that, the engineers of SCTEX had to cut through mountains. Its the same with facing life's challenges. Sometimes, the best way is to meet it head strong...knowing that once over the mountain, it will all be downhill from there.
