SSCDC on its 5th Year

It was always a pleasure being invited at Sunny Side Child Development Center (SSCDC) whenever they have events like this. Since it started 5 yrs. ago, Ma'am Marlyn (my elementary teacher and co-owner of this pre-school) never failed to invite me, and so I became one of its loyal guests especially during graduations.

This time I was once again invited to be the master of ceremonies at their commencement exercises. I'm just glad my sister came with me this time. I wouldn't look as nice without my make-up artist and fashion consultant beside me. :D thanks a bunch sis! muuuah! :)

I've seen kids come and go at SSCDC every occasion such as this. And I'm always inspired whenever I see what has become of them after a few years of their stay in this institution. They surely have learned a lot from their committed teachers, and their teachers must be really proud of them as well! :)

I'm sharing some photos here taken from the graduation ceremony held this afternoon. :)

one proud sistah! :D

A couple of new stuff =)

#1

After almost 6 yrs of faithful service, I now had to bid farewell to my good old nokia 6610 huhuhu... No, it wasn't broken nor stolen. Though I know many people wished it would, so they could see me get a new one. I think they're just wondering why I don't change units like what many people do. But yes, they're already pleading (yes, begging) that I get a new phone. hehehe...

So there, I now say hello to a brand new nokia 6300 which I got for free! An early birthday gift from Globe huh? hehehe... Better yet, a great blessing from the Lord. :) He just knows exactly what I wanted. And He knows as well that I really would not easily convince myself to spend for a new unit (ok I admit I could be stingy sometimes :P). I'm just glad He just gave it to me for free! Really, really sweeeeeet! :D


so here's my new mobile - on the left w/ a leather cover and w/ that little blue dolphin hanging over there (courtesy of my dear friend Dan, thank you); on the right I've shown it's current wallpaper which I captured from our Galera vacation :D I sooo love it!

#2

While spending some family time at Puerto Galera, we had to leave Mayumi at Pastor Archie's house to take care of her since we expect her to give birth anytime during the weekend. And true enough, we received a text message at Saturday evening of our stay at Galera informing us that Mayumi is already a mom of 4 cute puppies (2 guys and 2 girls)!!! yipeeee!!! Unfortunately though, one of the male puppies turned out to be weak... and so he was gone after a couple of days :( twas really sad, but at least there are still 3 more puppies we could take care of. :) Here take a look at them....

the new mom, Mayumi and her one week old puppies feeding :D

Happy Easter! =)




Checkout this video I stumbled upon at Godtube.com. A really cool version of the song "Umbrella". And a timely song as well for our beautiful celebration today. :) Enjoy!!!

"Because...
When the Son died
He didn't die forever
(they) put Him in the tomb
and three days later
died on the Cross and He rose again
dipped me in His blood
and He washed away my sins...
I thank the Lord I'm born again.. eh.. eh.. eh..." :D


Blessings to you this Easter & always! (",)

The Bridge...



May we realize how wretched we are, and that we are nothing and hopeless apart from Christ's Sacrifice. JESUS is the ONLY WAY, the Truth and the One who could give us Life eternal.

When this life is over, where do you think you're headed?

Be sure now, while you still have the chance.

"For God loves YOU so much... that He gave His Only Son for YOU... If YOU would only believe in HIM, YOU shall not perish, but YOU would have ETERNAL LIFE..." (John 3:16 - a personalized version)

May this season of Lent not only remind us of what Christ did for you and me. But let this be the start of your new life with Christ, acknowledging Him as your Lord and Savior always, wherever you go and whatever you do, even when this season has passed.


"There's a Cross to bridge the great divide
a Way was made to reach the other side
the mercy of the Father
costs His Son his life
His love is deep
His love is wide
there's a Cross that bridged the great divide..."
