Wow! I cannot believe husband and I are 5 years already. It doesn't feel that I am married that long. I feel like we just got married yesterday. I don't have any regrets of being married for 5 years to a wonderful man in the whole world. I would say, I am very much in-love and happy. He really fulfills every woman's dream to have a wonderful married life together. I didn't say that marriage is a "Bed of Roses", of course there are a lot of ups and downs especially we came from different world but we both adjusted and comprehend every situation that we have and talk for the better living. I am so blessed to have Seth in my life simply because he loves me and cares for my family back home. My husband sent me this wonderful greeting for our 5th year wedding Anniversary...

This is the song that he sang in our engagement party, Infairness, he has a good voice hahaha... He sang the Matud Nila that really captured my heart..



My loving and caring Bride,

Even though I am half a world away from you on our special day, does not make it any less important to me. I am sad that we could not spend it together and I know you understand. I just wanted to make sure you knew how much you mean to me and how happy I am to have you in my life. We have had our moments, our ups and downs, but I do not regret asking you to be my wife. I love you so much and I am grateful to you for giving me 2 wonderful boys. My life is incomplete without you. God only knows what our future holds but I do know that it includes you and our boys. Thank you for being there for me, and thank you for loving me. I am looking forward to seeing you. We will celebrate this special day when I get back, ok!! I love you and miss you honey. Happy 5th Anniversary.

One thing I've learned in our married life is "Have Faith in Him and Keep Christ the Center of our Marriage". I am sure we have a healthy and blessed relationship to our spouses and to our Loving Savior Jesus Christ.

This morning, I had a devotional and this verse from Philiemon 4 reminds me of a very dear to my heart, Ana Gemma!

"I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers. Philemon 4."
Is there someone in your life for whom you regularly thank God? When I thought of Ana Gemma, I expressed genuine gratitude to the Lord for having such a true friend. We don't have a constant communication since I got married and moved to Japan with my husband and now we are living here in United States, and she still in Bahrain with her family. Since then, we only communicate through emails or sending messages through Friendster but even we don't have often communication with each other, our friendship is very strong, we both knew that we are always there for each other no matter how far we are. Today, when I read this passage the only friend that popped into my mind was her.

A true friend proves trustworthy. Do you have a friend in whom you can safely confide? One man said, "Sometimes I will share a secret with someone just to see if the information leaks. If the story gets out, I know this person is not to be trusted!" A true friend speaks the truth even when it hurts. Do you have a friend who cares enough about you to confront you when necessary? I do! It takes courage to love someone enough to tell him/her his breath (or attitude) stinks! A true friend is willing to lay down his/her life for you. Who would speak in your defense? Donate a kidney? Work eight hours a day for you?

Someone said, "If at the end of your life, you can count the number of true friends on one hand, consider yourself richly blessed!" Take a moment amd count. For whom do you need to thank God? Equally important: Is anyone thanking God for you?

Heavenly Father, thank You for my true friends and especially to my dear sister in Christ, Ana! I am truly blessed to have her and being a true friend. You are truly awesome, when I needed someone to lean on, You gave Ana to me. Just want to share this bible verse that I am truly believe will help you. 1 Corinthians 1: 1-15.

A couple of days ago, my mother in-law told me that if I want to go with her to pick some blueberries. Of course, I will not say to that especially this is my first time to experience blueberries picking. Yesterday morning I got up very early because my mother in-law and I are going to Zion for blueberries picking... I am very excited simply because this is my first time to go to a blueberries farm and pick it for myself. Well, on the way to there, we stop to my mother in-law's friend and picked her up then went to the farm. I cannot believe that there are a lot of people before us. I cannot believe that I filled the two buckets for less than an hour. The bucket contains maybe 7 pounds or more. I never had a chance to finished picking the three blueberry trees. I was having so much fun picking them up. I thought picking blueberries is hard part because as we all know that they are not the big but when I was picking them I filled the bucket so quick. I told to myself if I have a big freezer I will really get more but I don't so I only get two buckets. I am sure this would be enough. My mother in-law told me to put it in can so that we can preserve it but I suggest putting it in the freezer bags and freezing them so that we can bring them to California. Wow! This morning we have blueberries pancake and my children love it... It is really good to have fresh blueberries sauce for your pancake...

I have to say that ever since I started blogging, I have come to learn a great deal about it. But, aside from the experience I get, it has been great just being able to tell people about my family and dreams through the internet. It is kind of an online diary to a point and it serves as a great way to keep loved ones up to date on current things happening in my family. I have to say though; you cannot just jump into blogging blindly. It takes a little bit of research and caution to get started. The most important thing you must think of is your Hosting service. This is the basis for blogging. If you get a good web hosting service, your pains and learning curve will be much less. If you are thinking about getting your own website, then I suggest you check out Web Hosting Geeks first. As one of the most respected ratings and review sites on the internet. Web Hosting Geeks will provide for you all the information you need to know when choosing a Web Host. Providing a tremendous amount of information and handing out awards to the best sites, you can be sure that if their recommendation is on it, then they are worth trusting. It is hard enough trying to find a host on your own. Why not let the Web Hosting Geeks be your first stop before you do anything to get your own site and blog going and also check out web hosting types if you want to learn more about hosting.

Since father's day is pass approaching, I am sure most of you are busy looking for what is the best gift to give for a very special day.

Well, put down the chainsaw, pass by the fishing rod, and don't even think about buying that electric razor. A national survey of dads says more than half of them want electronic gifts for Father's day. Not clothes, golf clubs or trips. This year, reward Dad for all he does while satisfying his gadget craving. To the man who loves sports, give a high-definition television that will let him see the game as clearly as if he were there himself. Many cable services broadcast sports games in high definition. For the music lover, offer a portable mp3 player that will let him take his music on the road, or a satellite radio service that gives him access at home or in the car to hundreds of commercial-free music channels.

A book-loving dad will appreciate a digital book reader, which lets him store and read hundreds of digital books in a palm-sized device. Energy star rates some small electronics so you can buy the most energy-efficient models. Energy Star rated devices use less power while operating and while in standby mode.

So what are you waiting for? choose the best gift for dad that he would love and enjoy it...

We are planning for a short trip to Colorado by car this upcoming 4th of July. Yes, it's only a plan right now but I am sure some of you might think how confident I am to drive going to Colorado especially my husband is not here. Well, not just us (kids and me)! My in-laws told me that they are planning to visit their youngest son in Colorado maybe early next month, this is only tentative schedule and they invited us if we are willing to go with them using my van. Of course who will say No to this kind of road trip? I know it would be hard especially with the kids but we will not go straight to Colorado, we have to stop and get some rest for one night somewhere, so I am sure this will help with the kids. Also a family bonding! I was very excited about this road trip with my in-laws so I emailed my husband and told him about our plan of might going to Colorado to see his brother. He was very happy that we are going to have a short vacation and he told me that I will enjoy his parents company. Of course, I would! They are very nice, caring and loving in-laws. They treat me as their own daughter.

Anyho, I am getting excited to be with my husband... I cannot resists myself of how anxious I am to have him back after 8 months. I know that God will bring us back together very soon...

Yes Lord, I am lost without YOU! THANK YOU so much for being there for me. You truly blessed me for almost everything. I have two smart little kids that understand if I need a break. I have a loving husband that always there for me in times of ups and down. You constantly care for me, You never leave me nor abandoned me.. I am blessed that I have YOU in my life. Thank you to all my friends and family who brought me closer to YOU. I am not perfect but you created me being me.. and most of all You love me the most. You shed your blood for me. Every minute and every single of the day, I always praise you in Spirit and in Truth. Everyday, I always thank You for Your unfailing love and for watching over us. I don't have any prayers that you didn't heard, you always listen to my cry. You answers all my prayers and petition for my loved ones. Everyday, I always pray to You that my children will grow up and to know you more. I always tell them how awesome You are, how powerful You are and How much You love us. When I am down, You pick me up and when I am sad, You make me happy. Thank YOU for your mercy and grace that new every morning... Lord I will bow to You and Honor YOU because of who you are, You are the best thing that happen in my life, knowing You is truly a blessing. One day, I will be with you in paradise together with my family.

Galatians 1:3-5 - (3) Grace be unto you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ. (2) Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father. (5) To whom be glory for ever and ever, Amen. It is very true! God's will that we would be delivered from this present evil world.
