Unlimited Joy

Let me start by saying THIS DAY IS ONE FINE DAY. Everything went smoothly, there were literally no cringes or raised eyebrows. The day started early as we're all prepped by 7:30am to attend the 8:00 am service. We had the third installment of the series Unlimited, Pastor Patrick talked about the burden of being in debt and what the bible says about it. 

The first principle of debt is that you need to get out of it and in order to do that, there has to be a change in your lifestyle and must utilize what is available. You do the practical which is changing your lifestyle and God will do what seems impossible, he will multiply what you have. That's how God's grace works, you have to obey him and he will do the rest. Besides the financial debt, there is also a personal debt and God will also pull you out of that -- He already did the most important thing which is to erase the debt of sin, how much more the other things? 

After we attended church, we had lunch in Mr. Choi's Kitchen to celebrate my brother's 11th birthday, it's actually an early celebration -- he'll turn 11 tomorrow. I can't believe how fast time is, it seems like yesterday he only played with legos and never argued about anything. I am happy with how he is now -- he's a very intelligent boy and has self-discipline, he's also very understanding though sometimes I'm a hardheaded sister. I'm certain that I love my brother so so much. 

Lastly, this post has a special place in my heart because it was my Mom who took the shots-- she's also the one who directed haha.

Red is one of my favorite colors, it's such a happy color and at the same time, it's classy. If you're my schoolmate, you know that my backpack is red, and I have a number of other red bags and red shoes, even my baking materials are red. I used to hate red because I thought it was superstitious but my mom liked it so much, so maybe I acquired that as I see her with red wallet, clothes, shoes, chairs, toys and all other things.

This was my outfit last last week in church and the feeling was amazing, maybe that's what happens when you wear things that have significance to you. For this outfit, I applied print on print and color coordination which was the thing last season.

Also, Christmas is near, it's exactly a month away so I kinda went seasonal for this look. I am very much looking forward to Christmas 2012 since my Dad will be home, my aunt too, also I built a great relationship with people especially with my best friends Mary Jo and Diana making me conclude that this Christmas will be special and memorable.

And of course, I have a wishlist, a real wishlist! By real, I mean I now recognize the things that I love which is arts. On top of my list is a sewing machine, next are art materials particularly the Winsor & Newton watercolor, then clothes and shoes and the thing I really really really wish I'd get is a ticket to The Script's concert but effort never goes out of style, so a card or self-made bracelet or a collage would make me happy as much as the things in my list would. :)

Friday Night

Had dinner last night with the family in Aristocrat, but before that we watched the sunset in Manila Bay. The sky was wonderful, it was heavenly and also while I was there, I remembered how people suffered from the past typhoons. The cement bars in the shore were literally destroyed, it was tragic. 

Besides that, I had fun because I was with the whole family, after we ate dinner we went to Robinson's hoping we can go to the movies but the movies were all Filipino movies. We're honestly not a fan of them. So we just went shopping instead :D
