Beautiful Sunday

Hello everyone........
Let me share to you a beautiful passage I got from the Sunday Service last time....

When you know GOD:

NO SITUATION will discourage you.
NO LACK will make you fearful.
NO SICKNESS will keep you helpless.
NO STRUGGLES will keep you bondage.
NO LIES AND SLANDER will bring you down.
NO PRESSURE will make you lose control.
NO CHALLENGE will stop you.
NO TEMPTATION will overcome you
NOTHING WILL STAND UP AGAINST YOU... 

And may I share to you a beautiful scene I've seen from the sky on my way home?
Looks like you are having a hard time appreciating its beauty.. I was just using a regular digi-cam.. But c'mon I even had to get out of the car to take a photo of it... I call that "effort". :)

Anyways, it's the Crescent Earth Moon and Venus. Such a wonderful sight to behold. A revelation how amazing our God is... :)

So to give justice to that magical scene I have witnessed, I am sharing you a photo I got from FB, taken by a professional photographer....

BE BLESSED... :)

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,
Daintypinay

Another Fun Monday

Went to Makati yesterday with Ruthie to enroll in a Fashion School wherein I'll be studying makeup... I was actually torn between two schools before, but after reading reviews and doing my research, I finally made a choice.. Bes and I decided to take a cab from their house since I find it so hard to drive in Makati particularly in Ayala Avenue area .... Parking is bad and all those crazy one-way streets is way too much to handle for a girl like me... Traffic that day was like bumper to bumper... If you've never been to the Philippines -- you have no idea how bad it was.

Headed down to Greenbelt 1 to buy some stuff for other people but ended up buying things for ourselves.

Had our early dinner at Fish & Co. in Greenbelt 3.
These are the foods that we ordered.


I must say that the rest of the crew were so nice, friendly, and very polite. But sadly, I don't think the taste of the foods is worth your money.
Rooch did not even finish her pasta.

Tired and restless on our way home. Rooch and I could not help but talk about out favorite subject which is -- "Mr. Someone". People were about to go home when we reached the church for the Simbang Gabi. Obviously, we were deadly late.


As planned for that night, the gang (GANG = Nori + Ruthie + Tal + Nat + Tita Luz) went to Paskuhan Sa Imus to eat a very good Filipino treat this Christmas Season-- bibingka (rice cake)... While waiting for our bibingka, we ordered Mami and Goto matched with Barbeque Tenga and cold softdrinks. Yummy! :) Goto and Mani
The Lovebirds Nat & Tal with Tita Luz aka The Buzz
Bibingka just arrived.. Sarap!


There were also tiangges, wherein you could buy cheap items. Bought some items, mostly hair accessories. Much to our delight, on our way home, we found an Ukay-Ukay shop just in front of SM Bacoor. It was already 10:30 PM by that time.













(1)Rooch found a violet winter jacket while Tita Luz was busy choosing dresses. (2) Tal wanted to buy everything while Nat was comparing prices.


We were so overwhelmed when we entered the shop. Lots of clothes, bags and shoes to choose from.. Didn't know where to start. It was fun choosing clothes while haggling for the price (that didn't quite work, though..LOL) ;)



Leaving you a candid shot of mine that night,




***while enjoying the fume of the barbeque at my back, which is actually part of the experience... :)
