LIGHT A CANDLE FOR CORAZON AQUINO

1. Bits & Pieces - Thank you Lord for giving President Aquino the gift of life. It was a well-lived life as she touched nations all over the world. It must have been difficult for her especially the last months of her life. But everything is well now as she joins you. May her family find comfort knowing that she is now safe in your kingdom.

2. Kero's Celebration - Our gratitude to you, Lord for sharing with the Filipino people, one of your miracles on earth. May the courageous life of President Aquino continue to inspire women all over the world.

More than anything she is the best example of a kind and loving wife and mother. I know that you are the only one Lord, who could give the ultimate comfort for those who grieve especially her family. May you please give them the comfort and warmth that they need.

4. JengSpeaks - Accept our prayers for Corazon Aquino that you may grant her the entrance into the land of light and joy, and receive her into the arms of thy mercy, into the blessed rest of everlasting peace, and into the glorious company of the saints in light.

Make a Smilebox greeting

Thanks Genebei of Her and History for letting me do this tag for mothers. I'm tagging all the mommy bloggers in my blogroll and here's wishing you all mommies a Happy Mother's Day!

love and honesty from mommy diaries

I received these from CheChe of Mommy Diaries, thank you so much ; )

First is this "I love your blog" award. Thanks for always visiting my blog.

The second one is this:

There are only two rules: Choose a minimum of 7 blogs that you find brilliant in content or design and pass this award. List at least 10 honest things about yourself.

1. Although I did not practice physical therapy, I am very grateful for medical transcription because now that I'm married and a mom, I can work in the comforts of our home.

2. I would like to travel more.

3. I'm not good in budgeting :(

4. I like the smell of paint, paper fresh from the copier and gas. 

5. I had worked in Dunkin Donuts as a crew during one one semester in college.

6. The reason for the above was because I failed one subject on the 2nd semester of my fourth year in college.

7. I used to have terrible teeth which were crowded and crooked. My parents could not afford giving me braces, so when I was already working and I had enough money, one of the first things I did was have my teeth fixed.

8. I really wanted to have a baby girl but when we had Joaqui, I was glad we had a boy.

9. I like anything sweet - cakes, cookies, ice cream...yum, yum!

10. I used to play the piano and the guitar, and I even write good poems back then. I don't know what happened but I have a seemingly lack of creativity for quite a while now. 

Again I'm not tagging anyone in particular because I did this too late already. So if you want to do it, consider yourself tagged. ; )

Penmanship Tag

Joanne gave me this tag. Thank you and I did enjoy it ; )

1. Write down who tagged you.

2. Answer these: your name/username/pseudo -right handed or left handed? your favorite letters to write? your least favorite letters to write?

3. Write "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."

I used to have a nice penmanship, but since I am used to typing in the computer, I don't like my handwriting anymore. Hahaha. Since this is such a fun tag, I'm not tagging anyone in particular. If you want to join in the fun, feel free to tag yourself with your own penmanship. ; )

Purse Talk

Jona tagged me for what kind of bag I use recently.


1. Post a picture of whatever bag you are carrying as of late. No, you can't go into your closet and pull out your favorite purse! We want to know what you carried today or the last time you left the house.

2. List how much it cost. And this is not to judge. This is for entertainment purposes only. So spill it. And if there is a story to go along with how you obtained it, we'd love to hear it.

3. Tag some chicks. And link back to this post so people know why the heck you're showing everyone your bag.




This Nafnaf bag was given to me by my brother who used to work in Japan. I always carry big bags because I always carry a lot of stuff, but since I had a mommy time last weekend, I decided to use this bag. It also has a lot of separate compartments inside, so although it looks small, it can hold a lot! If I'm with Joaqui, I just put my stuff inside his bag so that I don't carry a separate bag. It was a gift so I really don't know how much it costs, but I'm thankful that it was given to me.


I wonder what bag my other friends are carrying, so I am tagging CheChe, Rhea, Jacque, Con and Janis.

Agustin Inc.

This was a fun tag from Che-Che and thanks for this Che ; ) Let me present to you the Agustin Inc. in stick figures....

Make your Stick Figure Family at FreeFlashToys.com

And because I had fun doing this, I'm passing it on to everyone in my blogroll who haven't done this yet. Happy Monday!

This is one fun tag that I got and it's a good thing hubby was here to take a picture, and this was taken while I was playing with Joaqui. I'm lucky that it's a decent photo and I'm not in my usual "pambahay" clothes. Thanks to Quinnie for giving me such a fun tag ; )

Amazing Blogger Award

This award from Quinnie and it really brightened up my day. I haven't really been blogging that much lately and all the things I want to blog about are sometimes all in my head, but either I'm just too lazy or too tired to do them ; ( I hope this award will inspire me to blog better, so thanks Quinnie!

I'm passing this on to Mec, Leah, Joey, Sujee and Marites. Enjoy this award!

the pink sisterhood

It’s a meme highlighting the threat of breast cancer and how important it isto practice early detection procedures like self breast examination.

* One in eight women or 12.6% of all women will get breast cancer in her lifetime.
* Breast cancer risk increases with age and every woman is at risk.
* Every 13 minutes a woman dies of breast cancer.
* Seventy-seven percent of women with breast cancer are over 50.
* Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in women between the ages of 15 and 54, and the second cause of cancer death in women 55 to 74.
* Risks for breast cancer include a family history, atypical hyperplasia, early menstruation (before age 12), late menopause (after age 55), current use or use in the last ten years of oral contraceptives, and daily consumption of alcohol.
* Early detection of breast cancer, through monthly breast self-exam and particularly yearly mammography after age 40, offers the best chance for survival.

1.Copy the badge and put it on your blog,
2.Link back who pass you this tag,
3.Spread this tag to at least 7 or more bloggers who you think you are friends with.

And lovely are the blossoms

That are tended with great care,

By those who work unselfishly

To make the place more fair.

And, like the garden blossoms,

Friendship’s flower grows more sweet

When watched and tended carefully

By those we know and meet.

And, if the seed of friendship

Is planted deep and true

And watched with understanding,

Friendship’s flower will bloom for you.

I'm now tagging Vina, Kaye, Joey, Renz, Pat, Nol and Michelle.
