pause for a prayer

Dear Lord, Please give us strength to help us survive the storm. We know You're bigger than the storm, much more powerful, and so we fully give our trust in You and that You will make the challenge for us bearable, and that You will lead us to safety.

Please give our government all the necessary tools they need for aiding the people. Take away the malice and corruption. Lead them to a smarter plan to save more lives.

For the coming typhoons, please protect the lives especially of the little ones. Send down your angels to look upon them.

Thank You Lord for protecting our families back in Cebu. Thank You for keeping them in Your arms.

Thank you Lord for your blessings.

ALL THESE WE PRAY IN JESUS NAME. AMEN.

all hope,

thepuddings.

School Field Trip letter

It's just funny to get a letter to parents for the first time. It's a funny feeling because I'm already part of a school-parent relationship which I thought was a very grown up matter. I still don't feel much of a grown up. But at the same time it made me realize that my baby is already starting to be independent from me and creating his little adventure all on his own. I'm sure my little shoolboy would be thrilled to join his first school field trip.

Dear Parents,

This coming Monday, October 5, we will be taking the N-3 and N-2 on a trip to Dubai Aauarium and Underwater Zoo at Dubai Mall. The N-3 and N-2 will be taking a tour of the aquarium and underwater zoo as well as attending the Ocean School Education Program.

Should you permit your child to join the field trip, please duly complete and sign the permission slip below and return to us on or before Sunday, October 4. Children without permission slips will not be alllowed to join the field trip.

Thank you for your cooperation.

With best regards,

DLSM Management

Ola Argentina!

Dwynn flew all the way to Buenos Aires, Argentina to join the SND's (Society for News Design) 31st Annual Workshop & Exhibition. Here are some of the interesting scenes from the streets and stages of Buenos Aires squeezed in for a week of a new found world. Of course the little wife gets a big surprise from that world too!

show me da simud!

His new found pout. So showy of his kissable simuuud!

(The story: he wanted to say "Papa" but then he still can't get it through, still stuck on P!)
