Sunday, March 22, 2009

It's my first anniversary in blogging. Though am not celebrating it with a bash like most bloggers do. I'm just thankful to God that I was able to maintain and update my blog despite of my busy schedule.

I'm also grateful that I was able to meet a lot of friends online. And I'm still looking forward in meeting others too.

Blogging is really fulfilling. It has been a channel of inspiring other people. Uplifting comments and messages from my viewers makes me feel great. It drives me to strive more to write something that really enlightens.

I am now taking this opportunity to give my warm gratitude to all of you who have been viewing and visiting this blog ever since I started.

Many thanks, God bless you all!

TEAM BUILDING @ VILLA GREGORIA

After months of planning, we've finally pushed through with our Team Building. We decided to go to Villa Gregoria Terrace Resort. Located in Brgy. Buboy, Nagcarlan, Laguna. Approximately two hours if you're coming from Manila. Owned and managed by the family of a former colleague.

The place is so relaxing with it's nature scenery. Not to mention the well maintained facilities, very clean setting and accommodating staffs. There are a variety of cottages to choose from. And they also offer fully furnished appartelles and air-conditioned rooms, if in case you want to stay overnight. I highly recommend this resort. Truly worth visiting.

We had a wonderful time. We just enjoy and relax and unwind.. We feasted on our food.. We played around and swim.. After all, it's our day (so.. no pressure, no worries, no diet) Just fun.

THANK YOU LORD

Just came from a Team Building in Laguna yesterday. It was very relaxing I would say, but since prior to this trip, I had a really busy week with barely four hours sleep almost every night.. (Sigh..) It was also tiring.

And so my Sunday Service suffered. I was so sleepy this morning and I felt really guilty. Thank God I was still able to catch up and understand the Message.

Well.. Just don't wanna pass this day without thanking Him.

I had a terrible chest pain a while ago while checking my mails. Very alarming 'coz it's really painful.

So I just prayed hard.. then it subsides immediately. Thank God! There's really a lot of reasons to thank Him.

THANK YOU LORD

RAIN'S DEDICATION

This cute little babe is the new angel of my office pal Nora & hubby Ed. She was dedicated last Saturday.

Her mom & dad used to be workaholics. But now that she came into their life, things became really different.

She's now the apple of their eyes. And it's worth it.. can't you see, she's so cute!

With her proud Mommy & cousins

Of course we were there to welcome her to the Christian World

FORT SAN PEDRO

Honestly speaking, I had no idea that there's a place called Fort San Pedro in Cebu City. If not for our driver (who also served as our tour guide) we wouldn't have known that this wonderful place exists.

And we're really fascinated by it's landscape, simple yet beautifully built with it's tranquil and very relaxing ambiance. I was able to take a lot of photos during our stay. If you're a nature lover like me, I'm pretty sure that you will enjoy the place as well. Great spot to unwind and even for dating.. LOL

BTW. According to my Google Search, Fort San Pedro is the smallest and oldest Fort in the Philippines. It was built in 1738 by the Spanish and indigenous Cebuano labourers under the command of Spanish conquistador, Miguel Lopez de Legaspi.
