Vlog: When God Made You

"A successful marriage requires falling inlove many times always with the same person."

I wonder what God was thinking when He created you.I wonder if He knew everything I would need because He made all my dreams come true!
There's one thing I am sure now.When God made you,He must have been thinking about me.

When God Made You

It's always been a mystery to me
How two hearts can come together
And love can last forever
But now that I have found you, I believe

That a miracle has come
When God sends the perfect One
Now gone are all my questions about why
And I've never been so sure of anything in my life

Oh, I wonder what God was thinking when He created you
I wonder if He, He knew everything I would need
Because He made all my dreams come true, when God made you
He must have been thinking about me

I promise that wherever you may go
Wherever life may lead you
With all my heart I'll be there too
And from this moment on, I want you to know

I'll let nothing come between us
And I will love the ones you love
Now gone are all my question about why
And I've never been so sure of anything in my life

I wonder what God was thinking when He created you
I wonder if He knew everything I would need
Because He made all my dreams come true, when God made you
He must have been thinking about me

He made the sun, He made the moon
To harmonize in perfect tune
One can't move without the other
They just have to be together

And that is why, I know it's true
You're for me and I'm for You
'Cause my world just can't be right
Without you in my life

I wonder what God was thinking when He created you
I wonder if He knew everything I would need
Because He made all my dreams come true, when God made you
He must have been thinking about me

He must've heard every prayer I've been praying
Yes, He knew everything I would need
When God made you, yes He did
When dreams come true
When God made you
He must've been thinking about me

For Our Extraordinary Mom 15 0ctober 2011

"We never know the love of our parents for us 'till we have become parents".

Mom,because we are your children you're always dreaming with us,cheering for us & always wishing all the best for us to become true.Immediate & extended!And because you love us so dearly nothing is more important to you than our happiness.You have made such a difference,created so much good in our lives!

Being apart from each other will never be a hindrance to show how much you care & love us.Hence we never notice that you're getting older & brittle because we're busy building a titanic of our own.

Time passes by so fast now that we're grown up & have had children of our own,we now realize how much you has done for us and contributed to our "growing up".

And today,your special day reminds us of God’s greatest gift to us.A mom who gave her all to raise us right,a mother like the one I would always wanted to be.

Mom,we wanted to convey that you are so dearly loved & aprreciated by us!We love you very much!And I miss you so so much!

Happy happy Birth-day Mommy!

Corregidor Island Philippines Postcard From The Mommy Journey

Receiving & seeing postcard from a tropical country Philippines, my homeland, brought into my senses that I am missing all the chances seeing beautiful/historical places like Corregidor Island.I've been to so many places in Asias hence I've never been to a place like this before & it's so shameful to become a stranger/alien to my own country.
Thank you so much Mommy Chris for sending me lovely postcard.Thus to understand that I must have visit places like this one the next time I'll visit Philippines.

Babies 1st Birthday In Japan How To Celebrate?

The day has come & it seems like yesterday ...9/11 of the present year,we celebrated my precious grand daughter's first birthday!And like other babies in every other part of the country,Japan has also has its own tradition & a special custom for all the one year olds on their first birthday w/c is celebrated only once in a lifetime.
In other countries when you said fisrt birthday you'll expect a great birthday party, a huge birthday cake,lots of balloons,visitors & even clowns.
In Japan though birthday cakes may still be present for some families, Japanese parents celebrate their kids’ special day with one or a pair of pounded rice cake with the traditional colors of pink & white.

2 kilograms of pounded rice cake with a traditonal colors of pink & white

The birthday rice cake called by many names but I only know is for Kyushu in which where I live at the present now.And in my place it is known　as "mochi fumi" or rice cake stepping.

2 kilograms of pounded rice cake strapped to the childs back.
That’s a heavy load!My grand daughter felt very uncomfortable and start crying almost immediately. And as if that ain’t bad enough, the parents’ role is to PREVENT the child from walking smoothly by deliberately stumble them with a light push. Oh No! What an unthinkable way to dampen a child’s birthday celebration!
Japanese believed that life is never a smooth ride, but full of ups and downs, so it is better to let your buttercup knows that it’s okay to stumble along the way.And by carrying out this odd (and brief) ritual, good-intended parents wish for their precious child all through her/his life to be blessed with health, food.It also represents perfection, harmony, peace, smoothness, completeness, satisfaction as well as integrity. Such a positive word. I do pray that Baby will have all these wonderful qualities.Please watch the video below.

And not to forget the erabitori or "pick & keep an item ,"A Peek Into The Future.This is another part of the “First Birthday” Japanese custom .We had a few items set before her. It is said that the first thing that Baby select will show her/his calling, a tendency towards a specific.And we prepared the following & its meaning so please watch the video below.

Pen -Writer

Money or Wallet -Blessed with abundance of wealth/property
Dictionary/book- Excellence academic performance / Person with extensive knowledge
Hair brush-stylist
and we also added cellular phone on the lists

My precious grand daughter picked the cellular phone first.Thus mean that she'll be a telephone operator someday?Then her second choice was the hair brush.We laughed at the thought that she'll be a stylist someday.^^

Finally our birthday bash's special event wont be completed w/o her birthday cake & the blowing of the candle with the help of her father.^^
Happy first birthday to my very precious grand daughter!
