EN2010 World Conference

The Every Nation World Conference, which happens once every three years, is a time when our pastors, missionaries and church planters and members from all around the world gather together for a time of powerful worship and fellowship!

"My 1st time to attend the Every Nation World Conference! There's nothing like it! It's like a picture of heaven on earth..People from different parts of the world, every tribe, nation, gathered in one place worshiping the One True God. Blessed and encouraged by people's testimonies. Refreshed, fired up and in love, more in love with Jesus!" - Angela Montejo (my beautiful bestfriend/sister in Christ)

Arrived at SMX at around 8:45 am..I promised Anj I won't be late... (excited kasi)...
But for the first time, she was late... Hahaha... 

Was able to secure a good parking space..
Then I took a cab and went to Bluewave to have my breakfast (again!).

This is what I had from Starbucks - Chicken Pandesal + Coffee Jelly ...Yum!

That's Anj and I looking excited to hear God's words

and hear the testimonies of people from different nations.... :)

Maoris from Auckland performing the Haka Dance..
I can't believe I am seeing them perform the haka LIVE...
They got a standing ovation....I was so happy...

Impressive performance from the Philippines...

Praise and Worship

with Jon Owens....:)

It was indeed an experience of a lifetime. I was blessed to be part of this World Conference, singing praise and worship to my Saviour. Learning the most important things in life..  I can't wait for EN2013. I hope and pray that my family will get to experience it too... Just amazing....

We were all created to honor God and give Him glory...

Farewell Dinner Party + Videoke

Van is leaving on the 26th for US.I have mixed emotions... I am sad, but in the same way happy for her...  She is actually one of the nicest among my classmates at LCI and yes I play favoritism.. She's one of my favorites. We share the same birthday. That's maybe the reason why we share a lot of things in common.. I remember telling her, "Kaya pala ang gaan-gaan ng loob ko sa'yo, dahil ka-birthday kita.."

We all decided to meet up and have a farewell dinner party for Van...

This photo was taken last Wednesday (March 17) at Old Spaghetti House in Robinson's Pioneer

We decided to meet there because all of them (except for Mel and I) work in the Ortigas area...

After the dinner, Elaine and Jhen had to go home while Van had to go back to her shift. I, Carlo, Mel, Monique and her hubby decided to spend more time and have a videoke. Haha.. I didn't know Monique and Mel sing well... It was so fun singing Britney's and Spice Girls' classic songs...   I hope the rest could join us next time... It would be so much fun...

Thanks everyone for the gift of FRIENDSHIP... 
I heart you all!

Updates

Just a quick update:

11 January 2010 

Anj and I had a relaxing one hour massage at Touchpoint Spa in Tagaytay. It was her first time there and I was so glad she enjoyed the treatment a lot. Anj and I have known each other for so long, but would you believe that it was our first time to go to a spa together.. Funny? Needless to say, we had the best iced tea while getting the best sauna bath ever. Felt so relaxed afterwards.. We promised each other to be back and avail of the 2 hour massage next time...

16 January 2010 (Saturday)
-My first day at a Fashion School. (Will blog about it in the near future)

-Met up with Anj, Carll, Mark (Carll's bestfriend) and with my beloved high school friend Joyce at Glorieta.

Bumped into Jewel. She is a friend of Anj and I..

Had our halo-halo at Razon's....

Later that night, Joyce and I waited for Mhel, another high school friend of ours. Three of us went to Bluewave, as requested by Mhel... It was a fun night...

I arrived home around 2AM..  Good thing, my friend from NZ Roland accompanied me. He noticed I was sleepy that time.. Thanks friend...

Still here,

Tagaytay Overnight

December 29-30, 2009

Dropped by in McDo Tagaytay just to say hello to Jason and Len of DPSC (Doha Photographer Shooters Club). Jason is a friend back in Qatar. He knew how much I wanted to join the club but I just could not afford to buy a decent DLSR from the salary that I was earning.. Haha.. Poor little girl.. So instead, they would just ask me to pose for them... Now that he's here with some DPSC members, they invited me to pose for them again but sadly, I was not able to join them for a photoshoot in Fantasy World since Ruthie had to meet up with her His Sounds choirmates.

Went to Starbucks to have some cup of coffee and for a breath-taking view of Taal Lake, but it was too crowded. Decided to just have a little merienda at Pancake House which is just beside Starbucks while waiting for Ruthie's friends.

Snapshots while we were sightseeing the beautiful Taal Lake..

When her friends arrived, we went to Mahogany Market to have our dinner. There were many food stalls just in front of the market. My first time to be there actually. I was told that they are known for the famous "bulalo", that's why the place is always jampacked. Aside from the bulalo, we also ordered papaitan, tuyo and ... geez.. I don't remember the names.. lol..


Enjoying the dinner at Mahogany Market

Then decided to just wait for the rest of their choirmates at Bag of Beans.The place was more beautiful at night. I was not able to take photos since battery of the digi-cam was almost dead. Also, I was not in my best mood that night cause a loser stole my parking space. I was about to park when he suddenly snatched that one and only space.. Ha-ha. I ordered Black Forest Frappe with a cherry on top of it. When it was served, everyone was like... "wow".. All of them ordered hot coffees. It was so cold that night. Service though was super bagal. As in super slow... Good thing, the place was so cozy..

L-R: Love, Me, Ruthie, Michelle (everyone was saying I look like her.. Do I? Must be our tanned complexion)

Then we stayed over in the house of Ruthie's friend. That was the time I realized I forgot to bring some important things like towel, camera charger, shirt, (so I slept wearing a tube mini dress which I was supposed to use for the shoot..) But I was happy because I was able to bring my blanket. I swear I can never sleep without it. My Pooh Blanket will always be my security blanket... :) On the room, we found a portable massager.. Winks.. We liked it a lot. I want to buy one too.. I dozed off after my bestfriend gave me a massage at the back. (I still owe her a Wensha Spa massage as a Christmas gift..)

Rooch and I at the rooftop of the house. Was so cold. The wind was even blowing hard.

Goofing around the webcam, our fave hobby....

I slept around 3:40am and after just almost 3 hours of sleep, we drove all the way to somewhere (forgot the name of the instituiton/building, but it's just in front of Picnic Grove). His Sounds performed there for a conference. Wow, they were so good. I wish I could sing too.. While I was at the Powder Room, people kept on praising them. Some people were even greeting me, thinking maybe I was one of them. Ha-ha...

Posing after the concert with bestfriend Ruthie. Thanks Jenny for the shot.

His Sounds.. Photo taken by yours truly from Jenny's DLSR.

Her friends still wanted to go somewhere else after the performance. So I told Ruthie to stay and spend more time with them, since she's leaving on the 16th. But I wanted to sleep then, so I went home... I have an insomnia, because someone keeps on thinking of me every night, and that's one of the reasons why I am anemic. I was actually seeing double vision while driving... So I pulled over in a gas station and bought Gatorade and some chocolates.. Thank God, I got home safely.

It was so fun spending time with my bestfriend. She is the greatest. Is she really leaving for Europe? Another bestfriend is leaving for Italy also.. Oh Avick, do you really have to a leave? This is new, because I am the one who normally leaves the country to work... But I cannot stop them from achieving their dreams... Who knows I might follow them..



Much love,
