Bookmark collection

Im not a bookworm, I start reading one book today and the next day I'll read another without finishing the first and then forget about it days after and then when I remember I get the book again and start over again.Hmmmm, there are lots of distraction to my reading adventures, first is that I have that ningas cogon attitude, always procrastinating things, im glad I have these bookmarks to help me. The all time bookmark favorite is the metal bookmark from singapore, I love to use it when im reading, very convenient and I just love it!

Tuyom and startfishes

I call it tuyom  since I dont know what that black living thing beside the starfishes is called in the english language. Reminds me of happy moments with officemate during summer outing. The smiles of those who were once with us and now already just a memory while others are still here through the many years of hard work. They say its poisonous and the only cure available for that is urine. Yes urine, you heard it right. I have witnessed our officemate sir malon one company outing, he went to the deep part of the sea to snorkel without gear and was not aware that were lots of tuyoms there and he got hurt. The sting according to was painful and so we have to look for a guy to unrinate his foot and then the company nurse helped in getting the black needle like  tuyom from sir marlon's foot. It was a not so nice outing experience for sir marlon and for those who witnessed it , but also a lesson that next time we should be very careful .

Im still trying to think about the english term for tuyom. I need to make more research and post the results here.

Easter sunday food trip

Its easter sunday. Praise God for the message that He prepared for us through His servants and praise God for the fellowship with new friends in Cebu, they are young and are sharing their lives in reaching out to others and spreading the good news to many. Indeed, im energized and challenged to see the kind of fire that's burning in their hearts, you can feel the passion for serving and getting involved in God's work. After the fellowship Wendy cherry and me went to our place and I toured them to my favorite place papakits, wahehehehe, I'll never grow tired going there, the place always reminds me of God's splendor with the creation like a painting changing before my very eyes.

On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
The emblem of suffering and shame;
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
For a world of lost sinners was slain. —Bennard
To escape sin’s curse, run to the cross.

A night @ Max's

After a long day's work, we decided to have a break and treat ourselves with food, food and food. Thats the only four people with different personalties agree, FOOD. So it was Max's, something we have not tried before was the theme but as always we ended ordering the group's favorite Lechon Kawali as the star for the night, sinigang na hipon,  fresh lumpia, buko pandan
 The thought of food comforts me, how comforting it would when Im infront of them to comfort me with the scent and sight of great food . Wow!
im humgry na!

so what's our order?

mam madz you look better when you are smiling, ma Ai you look lovely!

thank you for the kind waiter who took this picture

wow!

fresh lumpia - our starter - love the scent of the veggies and the sauce that melts in your mouth with chewy nuts that compliments with the sauce and the fresh lumpia

ma Ai getting excited and counting the minutes

 I wish I had a bigger stomach to lavish with lots of food, but I only have a limited stomach and could not consume much....
Love this trio...can I ask for more? much more?
