Ayala Cennter: The Terraces


I'm now back home and my daughter just sent me a picture of me and my friends while we were going around Cebu.

At our back is the new wing of Ayala Center Cebu. They called it the Terraces. We went around the huge wing and saw just about every kind of dish! There was about 7 coffee stores and more than 20 reso's catering to your every craving .. =)
There was American, Mexican, Greek, Taiwanese, Chinese, Filipino and a lot more !

To think that this is just one of the food places that we were able to go to. We also went to Crossroads, BTC, IT park and a bunch of places the names i could not remember anymore.

Just thinking about them makes my mouth water again. =)

Executive Check-up

Haven't been OL lately because i'm actually in Cebu. I'm having my annual executive check up like a good patient.

Actually, it was my eldest daughter who forced me to have a check up. I always planned on having one but due to my busy schedule, i would always push the date back. =)

Two weeks ago, my daughter threatened to starve herself if i didn't go through the check-up. I was quite upset with her for not understanding that i have alot of responsibilities and commitments that i have to attend to.

That night, while thinking about the situation, i had a great laugh! Imagine ? My daughter is the one who is actually thinking about my health.

I guess that song is true: " mahirap magpalaki ng magulang"

As we grow older, we indeed need a bit of guidance from our children to straighten our way. =)

This is all the time i have for now.

But i'll check back as soon as my work load isn't mounting on the desk ! hope to hear from you !

How I Re-Met my Husband

A picture that my naughty children took during one of our long drives .. =) tsk ... =)


A few years ago, my husband and I were having trouble with (ahem ahem) communication, and so , we fought a lot lot lot.

I guess God thought that we needed a little help. And so, one day, a very old family friend of ours dropped by the office to talk about business... as usual.

And before he left, he invited us to join their community called the Bukas Loob sa Diyos (BLD). We were both quite hesitant to join for dozens of reasons... but something or someone was whispering to me .. or nudging me quite gently to join. And so, we made an unofficial promise.

As the days went by, the list of reasons not to join the Bukas Loob was getting longer. I'm too busy in the office as it is. I'm afraid of the outcome. Joining Bukas Loob meant another responsibility (being the boss, mother, friend, wife, cousin, sister), another part in need of attention.

Alas, the final week came and we decided to join. It was all in a rush because we had so many requirements to get. One of the funniest (and sweetest) was we had to get married again, this time to a parish priest.

To join the Bukas Loob sa Diyos(officially), you must experience a 3 day camp dedicated to opening yourself up to the Lord, your spouse and yourself. Of course, i wont spill the beans on the activities! But if you are interested to join, just leave a comment.

Back to my story.

Well, we finished all requirements just a few hours before the start of the camp. And then we were all set.

After the camp, i realized a lot of things. I joined Bukas Loob for a lot of wrong reasons like it was too awkward to back out of the promise. But God really makes His way. And through that experience, my husband and me learned so much.


Yes, we still argue. Yes, we still have our differences. But all in all, it has become more of a marriage than it has been for many years.

Did I have any regrets when i joined Bukas Loob sa Diyos? I'm proud to say NONE. I have actually been quite active for more than 5 years now. I have joined almost every event. My children have even joined in the fun! What more could i ask for?

God will make a way when there seems to be no way. He makes us understand when there is only confusion. God knows what's wrong even before we open our mouths. And God has loved and accepted every inch of our being.

Have a great day !
