His mother said to him, ‘Son why have you treated us like this? Your father and I have been anxiously searching for you.’” Luke 2:48 What is your responsibility as a Christian adult concerning children? The number of children you have is something you and your husband must determine, along with the help of the Lord. While you are considering this issue, it is good to consider the responsibilities that come with parenting. What are they? • Provision: food, clothing, home, education • Discipline • Guidance: being a role model • Most importantly: your presence. You may have Lola and Lolo in the house. You may have a wonderful yaya. But no one can take your place. As a Christian mother, God expects you to be the main caretaker of the little one. You should be teaching, disciplining, talking to them and reading to them. Don’t blame your son or daughter if they do not perform the way you expect if you are not around them to t... http://dbaa.multiply.com/journal/item/41/Think_Before_You_Have_A_Baby Tue, 6 May 2008 07:02:46 -0000 Pacquiao arrives in Gensan to Hero’s Welcome by Bariles PIctures!

And I could go out and have a little fun. But there are still changes that I encountered during this month. 1.  Constipation - this suddenly became a problem for me when I hit my 5th month and now is my number one problem, it seems pregnant women are prone to this, so I had to change my diet to veggies and fruits, only allowed to eat meat once a week. 2. Prune Juice - I had to drink once a day, to help with my constipation. 3. 1 tsp of Virgin Coconut Oil - I also have to drink once a day to help with my constipation. So now the constipation is my number one problem and stairs second. And take note my sister said there are still changes coming, oh my...

But I said no problem! Ponce Suite it is! Good thing they have placed markers along the road as to where to find the place since it's tuck somewhere in Doña Vicenta Village, not easy to find if you're not familiar with the place. But you won't miss the hotel since the outside is decorated with sculptures, gigantic in size. The place really look impressive, since the artist work peppered the place.

The storyline is quite unique, a playboy suddenly finds himself in love with a man, whom he did not know was actually a woman posing as a man. How he deals with the situation and his feelings, is totally hilarious, but at the same time you would feel sorry for him. This korean drama is quite addicting. Only 17 episodes but each scene would make you laugh or tug your heart. Info: The Director and staff paid close attention to the details of the story, the props to be made, each actors clothing style according to their character, and the place where the events will be shots. You might feel sad when the shows ends, as you would want to watch for more....

Since Claire boasted how the cheese in the pizza really is sticky. And their pasta is different.

So are there any changes on the 4th month? 1.) Definitely my tummy shows. 2.) I at least know which foods the little person wants - Jollibee, yum with TLC and pork bbq. 3.) Increase in fluid intake 4.) All of my regular clothes won't fit anymore, all I can wear are maternity dresses. 5.) I walk like an old lady, really slow. 6.) Cannot stand up for more than 2 hours. 7.) Cannot sitdown on any hard surface chairs for more than 2 hours.

I love their butter chicken, fresh lumpia, then there's the  ever famous "tokwa''t baboy and lugaw". I've been to Manila and Cebu but I've never found a similar taste of their "lugaw" else where.

The café was opened for the purpose of not only as a financial income to help fund this organization but also an avenue where some of the products in the communities they help, can showcase and gain exposure to the public. All the ingredients in their menu came from the communities that they are currently involved with. Like the coffee beans, strawberries and such.  And honestly, the taste is very very good indeed. As all of the ingredients are authentic. They are open from 8am to 11pm, except sundays.

Have you read the very controversial column in People Asia Magazine?  I just did, and though I don't have an OFW within my family, I do have OFW friends. This column has touched a very sensitive issue in the society, that for some people who are blessed with money and in a better financial standing they think of the poor ones or the one's with no money as lesser beings. (Not everyone.) This kind of discrimation is found almost everywhere. I do not know where they get such ideas.But this has been recorded way back in history. I think wanting to be "superior" is one of man's worst evil. Some of us have somehow forgotten that all of us are created equal. And what we do have material or status in this life are all blessings from God.
