My eldest son has been very good at keeping his toys safe, and as testament to that, he had three “toy” guitars that he has now passed down to our youngest. Unfortunately our youngest son does not have the same high regard for guitars, he has since broken two out of the three toy guitars and we are hoping that he doesn’t wreck the last one.

When he gets older, we will have to buy him his own guitar, probably a classical guitar from Mitchell Guitars. I just hope that he does not trash the real guitars in the future as he did his toys.

My youngest son and I guess countless other kids are fascinated with ceiling fans!

Even at a very young age, he would stare at the fan for a long time, as if playing with it with his imagination. Now that he is older, he points at it with excitement every time he sees one in the malls, restaurants or whenever we visit someone else’s house.

This leads us to look at cool furniture fans like the hunter ceiling fan for our living room as soon as the renovation is done.

Our church renovation has been moving along nicely, although slow, the progress has been continuous and hopefully before the rainy season kicks in, the rooftop slab would be in place.   Right now we can see the third starting to form and ofcourse we are all excited to see its completion.  Although I’d prefer the classic wooden church look over steel buildings, the new design and bigger space will definitely benefit the congregation and will stand as a beacon of hope in our community.

The old photos of Pasig river as shown here feels like an alternate universe that never existed.  Because if you look at Pasig river now, its a filthy river that carries all the waste of the city.  There have been various attempts to clear the river – but obviously without the political will to sanction individuals and corporations that throw their waste on the once beautiful river, it will continue to be problematique.  Maybe instead of wearing funny tee shirts, we could wear images of the old Pasig river – as visual reminder for everyone of the once majestic river.

Cebu Pacific is having a seat sale for as low as 90% off for Labor Day. I almost booked a flight to Hongkong for our youngest son’s 2nd birthday. However, my husband has other plans. He wants to celebrate his birthday here instead.

I know anywhere we celebrate it we will have a grand time. We have lots of friends and families here who I know will be delighted to celebrate his birthday with us. We can just invite them for a swimming party so everyone can have a grand time. Those who can’t attend we can just send them birthday party cookies so they can also celebrate his birthday even though they are busy.
