You'll never really know what will happen next.

You don't really know what will happen next.

I learned today that a couple who's been friends with J and I for quite a long while had to put off their supposedly January wedding because the guy's parents suddenly had a change of heart... Can you imagine that? They've been together for 7 or 8 years. The guy's parents have always loved her like a daughter -in- law even without the wedding yet.....and then just because she had said ' something' that his parents didn't like, they just stopped ' liking/ loving ' her?! eh? in the middle of all the wedding preparations?! they just blew away 7 years and everything they knew about her are just 'changed'?! I really wonder what 'words' could possible change their thinking about her. What kind of 'words' could possibly make them call off the wedding. Sigh

My new hobby~

I have a new hobby.
Guess what?! ......................................................................................
D R A W I N G.

Yes! Drawing! Who would have thought I'd be interested in drawing? hehe! I'm not very good at it but I'm enjoying it, right now. Anyway, I know that this is just for a while.

Actually, cooking is my real first love. Sadly, I can't cook now as much as I did when I was in the city, 'coz a lot of ingredients aren't available in the local market. It's so frustrating. So instead of being crabby, I've decided to diverge my attention into something really new, that is drawing. I'm lovin' it. =)

My Church in Antipolo

I was really excited to go to church this morning and thank God 'coz my hunger and thirst for worship was quenched. My mother church is 3 hours away from home and it's really expensive and inconvenient to go there every Sunday as much as I want to. It is a missionary church which is located in a poor area somewhere in Antipolo. People there are way generous, warm and kind. I love that place so much although I've broken maybe 5 pairs of shoes (heels and trainers) in a year because the road is muddy and rocky. =(

The moment I arrived at the church, children welcomed me warmly. " teacher rayanne!!!" They kept on hugging me and kissing me. awww...children...I love them. They can turn my gray sky into blue. They can fly me over to the moon. I'm just happy that they haven't forgotten me. I used to teach Sunday School Children and Young People a year and a half ago and I started being a mushroom church member in January when I began working homebased. I missed them a lot.

Anyways, I felt home even for few hours. I had so much laughter, anointing and grace. It's really different when you're attending worship in your mother church.

My pastor was so glad that I visited so he prepared a little lunch fellowship for us which he doesn't normally do on Sundays since the church's budget is kind of tight. My pastor must've really love me as a member.

Have a blessed Sunday everyone! oops! Should I say 'have a great week everyone!' hehe!

Bad Day

A lot of things happened today. Not so significant but, ugh!

One. I got up at 5, as usual, and I was really thirsty! What's up with the muggy weather lately? Few days back I was already feelin' the chilling breeze of Christmas, but for the past 3 days, it's sweltering again. Well, I've no control over it so smile girl! =)

Two. I went on with my classes and one student who's been constantly bugging me for quite sometime now, again, infuriated me. Argh! Okay, that's the second. I'm not going to talk about the reason why.

Third. Brownout! They're fixing the electric lines again so electric power was off for around 5 hours. Thank God! coz last time was for 12 hours. -.- Whew! Breath...relax..smile! There was nothing to do so I decided to cook tuna penne. The taste was fantastic! Of course I cooked it. wahaha! (gloating)

Fourth. There goes my mom..again and again and again.....ughhh!!! zip your mouth now.

Fifth. My knight in shining armor to save the day. =) Thank God I have someone like him. Always present. Always on time. Always handsome. Always loving. Always caring. Always capable of taming the monster in me when it's about to arise.

'FILIPINOS' chocolate bar

Why not diba..I wonder if it's masarap. hehe

My FARM

okay! so here's my 'own farm' and I so love it. =)

You can see that I put lots of white roses and tulips because they're my favorites. I'd like to add some more decorations and architectural style ( naks! ) but like I said, I'm not very creative so perhaps next time. The most essential part of my farm is the line JESUS SAVES. Actually,I first wrote, I HEART JESUS. But then I thought, so? okay I love Jesus but then what? I'm not proclaiming the message of the gospel in that case I guess. So, it's now Jesus Saves, after all that's what I really meant to say. Surprisingly, I've been getting messages saying that my farm is beautiful. Hmmm.. I think that it's not compare to other's farm, but what makes it 'extra' beautiful is the name Jesus on it. Glory to God!!! =)

Farmtown

Here's a picture of SuzieQ's farm which i thought is simply amazing! I 've been playing FT for almost a month now and I've been thinking of how I can declare my faith through my farm like this. Unfortunately, I've been really tied up lately, I couldn't decorate my farm nicely. I have 639, 053 coins and I'm at level 27 which means I can buy many stuff to put in my farm but I need a lot of time to do that.

Anyway, the point of this post, is that I admire SuzieQ for her way of telling the world about Jesus. I'm sure God is smiling on her because she's not only playing, she's also evangelizing. Good joob Suzie!
