The phone rang for the first time I was hoping it was them but that was my hubby. I turned off my laptop thought that sis Mig didn't connect to Laarni. Besides, it's almost 1am in Philippines already. Laarni should be in bed at this time. I was lying on the couch and the phone rang again... my heartbeat goes fast, I'm a little nervous and I jumped off to reach the phone. Yes, it's Migette on the other line. She told me that my wish will be granted today. I can talk to Laarni on the phone now-she is on the other line. Woohooo! She was...hearing her soft, sweet voice I feel like on the cloud 9. I guess, this just a a feeling of being a fan. We talked and I introduced myself and told her we came in the same hometown. We spoke in our very own dialect and realizing what a small world. I have a friend that happens her friends too. Haaay, I am so excited of the release of her debut album soon.

eDocAmerica Health Tip: The Bisphenol A Controversy
What are the health concerns related to BPA? Recently, the National Toxicology Program (NTP) released a report summarizing the potential health risks associated with BPA. There are at least two ways of interpreting this report. On one hand, the report reaffirmed concerns reported this spring that that BPA may have an effect on mammary glands and maturation of females during early puberty, as well as indicating several newer, potential health risks. On the other hand, the level of concern was relatively low, with none of the issues reaching a level higher than "some concern" on a 5-point scale with "some concern" representing the mid-point. The program concluded that more research is needed read more...

The temperature is being fair so far. I like it!

God Goes with Us
I had to fight that kind of spirit. I want to prove that the God I serve is a mighty God. I turn back and hold on the promise of the Lord once again. "I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go.” Genesis 28:15 NIV. Isn't that something? Isn't that God promised to watch over me every single time? Isn't that what he promised, he will do? My strenght get back and I feel much better after that realization.

My Friend Arrived in US yesterday
When I was in Thailand before she was in Singapore. She planned to visit me there but she didn't made it. When I went to Singapore that was here schedule to visit her family in Philippines. A little disappointed because our schedule didn't cooperate. It's been 8 years, we chatted, writing emails, talked on skype and hopefully this time everything goes well. Who knows after 8 years we will see each other again here in US. Isn't that small world? Or will say the world is round, lol.

Go the Distance
Jesus doesn’t say if you succeed you will be saved. Or if you come out on top you will be saved. He says if you endure. An accurate rendering would be, “If you hang in there until the end…if you go the distance.” Max Lucado.
Be patient! Keep going, never get tire of doing what is pleasing to the Lord. Focus our eyes to the Lord! God is faithful to renew our strenght as he promise!

Can I make a choice? Paul says I do: “We capture every thought and make it give up and obey Christ” (2 Cor. 10:5). Huh?, this remind me of the soldiers motto "obey first before you complain. Never say "no" for good, but say goodbye to the old self. Do not let the trashing thoughts drive you...push those and trash them out in our mind. Can you do that? Can I? Yes, through the help of our almighty God!

Paying the Utilities
When I got here last year I was shocked a little bit because my hubby only pay his utility bills online. I asked some of my friends they said they sent check to the company to pay. My hubby said, it takes a long time and I am not so sure if it's safe. I asked him some question on how he do it online. I learned and now I manage to pay all our bills before the due date. My hubby have a busy schedule and he has troubled remembering the bills due date. I hate paying the penalty, I was thinking we can use the penalty money to something else. Yeah, it does really different when we paid our utility bills on or before due date. It affect to our credit scores when delay. Praise God I manage to check and pay our bills every month now and credit score boosts higher. A little advise, pay your bills before the due date to gain good credit score.

My first trip to Thailand
Whew! I was scared that he will not let me to leave the country at that time. It would be a big frustration if he will not allow me to pass the immigration because I had everything I needed for my trip. When he said, okay I let you go I felt like floating in the sky. I was determined to go of course!
When I was on board I was thinking what will be my life in Thailand would be. Thai people could hardly understand English and even coudn't speak. When we landed in Bangkok, I have only 5 minutes left for my connecting flight. I was so scared that the plane will leave me. I don't know where's the domestic area. I kept asking the staff, security at the airport but they didn't gave me the right answers. That started the language barriers. I was determined to find the domestic area and thank God I finally found it. When I check in the counter he said I have to wait a little longer because the plane just arrive. Then, I felt better and relax.

Jesus Planned It All
As we summarized everything that happened, we can say that Jesus planned his own sacrifice.
Max Lucado said: Meaning Jesus intentionally planted the tree from which his cross would be carved.
It means he willingly placed the iron ore in the heart of the earth from which the nails would be cast.
It means he voluntarily placed his Judas in the womb of a woman.
It means Christ was the one who set in motion the political machinery that would send Pilate to Jerusalem.
And it also means he didn’t have to do it—but he did.

It was a fun night but tough night as well. Little kids are always hyper and wants to do something new every minute. So, we had games for them too and my hubby prepared it. They have to shoot the rice bags in the bucket in front of them. This is my time that my hubby teach a little kids and he still learning how to handle them but I've seen his progress after a week. I love kids and I've been in Children's ministry like my whole life. I'm so happy that God put me in this kind of ministry here again.

The Pot of Prayer
I got this line: You can dump your bad news in the vat of worry and pull out the spoon. Turn on the fire. Stew on it. Stir it. Mope for a while. Brood for a time. Won’t be long before you’ll have a delightful pot of pessimism.
How about a different idea? The pot of prayer. Before the door of the doctor’s office closes, give the problem to God. “I receive your lordship. Nothing comes to me that hasn’t passed through you.” In addition, stir in a healthy helping of gratitude. Your part is prayer and gratitude. God’s part? Peace and protection.
Instead of panicking and end up to the negative solution, do the prayer instead. Prayer is the answer of everything. Never stop praying to God!

What do you want for your birthday?
Isn't that pressure to think what I really want for my birthday. I knew my parents-in-law didn't mind if I ask them another gadgets but I am thinking for costs. They helped us so much in the past month when hubby and I are working on our house loan. Maybe, for them as parents they want me to completely happy on my special day. They do anything they can to make me feel happy here. I told my hubby I will not ask expensive stuff this year, he's thankful for that-lol. But he said I will ask his parents something because they love to get me something. Right now, I am still looking....!

A Symbol of Love
There's one man who did a great sacrificed for you and for me. It says in Luke 24:6,"He is not here; he has risen from the dead.” Through the rags of death, John saw the power of life. Odd, don’t you think, that God would use something as sad as a burial wrap to change a life?
But God is given to such practices:
In his hand empty wine jugs at a wedding become a symbol of power.
The coin of a widow becomes a symbol of generosity.
And a tool of death is a symbol of his love. Because of his great Love for all of us.

Congratulations Laarni!
Cuneta Astrodome was indeed filled with tension as the much awaited announcement of Pinoy Dream Academy Season 2’s Grand Star Dreamer has finally arrived. The Top Six Scholars were joined by their former co-Scholars, Vina Morales and Wency Cornejo to open the show with their rendition of Bon Jovi’s It’s My Life and the legendary group Journey’s Don’t Stop Believin’.
Joining the new Grand Star Dreamer in the Top Three were Bugoy and Miguel who gathered a total of 26.70% and 13.69% respectively. Unfortunately, Liezel, who was a consistent Star Scholar didn’t make it into the Top Three and had to settle with fourth place with a total of 247,346 text votes. I really wished liezel made to the top 3, but she didn't. She was followed by Van who garnered 112,065 votes while Cris filled in the last slot with only a total of 36,487 text votes. Indeed, our textvotes for Laarni made it and help her to be the Pinoy Dream Academy Season 2 Grand Star Dreamer. Mabuhay Laarni at also the Laarnians!

Too Incredible
The idea that a virgin would be selected by God to bear himself…The notion that God would don a scalp and toes and two eyes…The thought that the King of the universe would sneeze and burp and get bit by mosquitoes…It’s too incredible. Too revolutionary. We would never create such a Savior. We aren’t that daring.
Whom this word refer to? No other than God! When we create a redeemer, we keep him safely distant in his faraway castle. We allow him only the briefest of encounters with us. We permit him to swoop in and out with his sleigh before we can draw too near. We wouldn’t ask him to take up residence in the midst of a contaminated people. In our wildest imagination we wouldn’t conjure a king who becomes one of us.
But God did., Max Lucado said.
No one is greater than our God!
Cowboy Hats
Haircut for men
Since Sunday was approaching at that time, I kept reminding him our condition. Sunday came, my husband plays guitar in our church. After the Sunday service our friend, Jesse told Lance "Man, you got your haircut done, I like it". How much you paid for your haircut ? My husband was very excited to hear that praise and suddenly said, Mimi cut my hair. Lol, he blushed, he look at me and said sorry I told Jesse that you cut my hair. Since Jesse appreciated it I said that's alright. I will love to give you haircut anytime you want, baby. Lol. Well, his hairstyle is not that difficult though.

When All Else Fails
I'm kinda down a little bit today and I couldn't cry. So, that means everything stucked inside of me. My hubby kept checking me if I'm alright. I said yes, I wish I can cry that I will be better. I saw this plaque again and ask myself "Whom I'm gonna ask when all else fails?". It's a weird question but the answer simply "God". He has the control about everything that I worry for. He is the one who will restore my joy and give me peace. As my friend reminded me today, everything is only temporary. Everything has end. Everything has the Departure Date as we refer to Eccles. 7:1. I would say, everything it's up to the Lord!

Income Insurance During Pregnancy
Press Release:
Missing work during and after pregnancy has become a common occurrence. According to a 2002 study, 29% of short term disabilities (180 days or less) and 12% of long-term disabilities are due to pregnancy. Maternity disability can turn what is otherwise a happy occasion into a financially harrowing experience when the mother is left unable to work for months before and/or after delivery. Disability Income insurance can be the answer to the unknown risk to a household’s cash flow due to pregnancy.
Many larger companies offer paid maternity leave to employees whereby the employee is granted full pay for a period of time (generally 3 months) while out of work with the newborn. Any complications that cause the employee to miss work before delivery or beyond the maternity leave period after delivery result in a loss of income for days or even months.
Individual short term disability insurance can provide up to 70% of regular income when you’re not able to work due to illness or injury for 3-6 months. Long-term disability insurance takes over after the short-term benefits period has passed and can provide income protection for up to five years or longer.
Mothers-to-be often rely on the group disability insurance offered by their employer. Group disability usually covers up to 60% of regular income. However, all benefits received from such a policy are taxed as regular income, lowering take home dollars to roughly 42% of regular income. Group policies are also commonly riddled with exceptions and limitations that further reduce or eliminate benefits altogether.
Mothers-to-be with group disability insurance can very affordably plug the holes in their policy with a supplemental disability insurance policy. Supplemental coverage can extend income protection to 100% of pre-disability cash flow and benefits paid from the supplemental policy are not taxed as income.
The key to protecting a future mother’s income during pregnancy is to get disability insurance, be it individual or supplemental, before becoming pregnant. Once pregnant, the eligibility for additional disability insurance evaporates.
Future moms have several options to protect their income from a long-term or short-term pregnancy disability. Without this coverage, families take the risk of losing a good portion of their income for months, if not longer. Whether you participate in a group plan at work or not, maternity disability can be planned for in an affordable manner to help ensure a truly safe pregnancy where your family’s quality of life remains unaffected.
Please visit us at http://www.disability-insurance-update.com/pregnancy-disability-insurance.html with any questions or to find further information regarding the protection of your income during and after pregnancy.
