He’s in Phuket

Friday, June 26th, 2009

Hubby’s in Phuket again. He has gone to have a retreat with some friends there. We could have gone with him but I chose not to. The kids missed so much of school because we had been traveling quite a bit for the past first half of the year. I miss Phuket but there’s always next time.

I’m actually waiting for my hubby to get online now. He phoned me this afternoon but it was a brief call. I want to tell him of how the meeting with the kids’ teachers went on today. I hope he can get online. His laptop sometimes has problems with internet connections. Hopefully there’s no problem this time.

I will be waiting.

Michael Jackson’s Death

Friday, June 26th, 2009

It’s all over the news. After 50 years, Michael Jackson’s life had finally reached its end. It was a sudden death, they say. The true cause of his death is still under investigation. Could it be due to medical malpractice? Wrong diagnosis? Wrong treatment? Nobody’s certain for sure.

There’s actually a lot of medical malpractice going on. That’s why there’s the existence of Rochester medical malpractice attorney to help you prepare your case. There are many types of medical malpractice. Some doctors can make mistakes just like that.

Of course I’m not blaming the doctors nor the hospital for MJ’s death. Like I said, the cause of his death is still not certain.

Macy’s Curtains and English Living Room

Monday, June 22nd, 2009

We found some good and pretty curtains at Macy’s in Taipan. We are trying (read my lips – trying) to set up an English living room. So I chose one that’s flowery with shades of limelight, peach and summer heat. That’s our theme color by the way. It looks so sweet. I got it with 50% discount. It was so timely coz it was their last day of sale.

Hubby kept saying it was really God’s favor for us to find the curtain store at just the right time. The 2-panel window curtain was on display. It’s supposed to be on 30% only. But I wanted to get it even if it was only on display and there was no other stock. So I jokingly said, I will buy if you give me more discount. LOL. She actually gave me 50% discoun instead of just 30%. Me and my jokes work well, sometimes.

Our new house is smaller. So it;s quite easy to make it cozy. It’s a good thing that we repainted it. The house we are staying now is all-white. So it’s hard to decorate it. And we didn’t want to do a lot because it is not our own house.

But with our new house, we decided to take charge and went ahead with repainting. The owners didn’t mind. So yes, I am excited to move in to our new house with an English living room. But of course, one can’t expect too much as we have limited budget. So it won’t be that Georgian, or Victorian, or even Edwardian interior design. Just basic English design – full of flowers. :D

Troubles

Thursday, June 18th, 2009

“The righteous person faces many troubles,
but the LORD comes to the rescue each time.
For the LORD protects the bones of the righteous;
not one of them is broken!”

—Psalm 34:19–20

I am getting a daily encouragement for women in my email everyday. I use them for my quiet time… not that I have a daily quiet time. Yes, I plead guilty. I don’t have a regular quiet time. I read the word of God and yet, sometimes, it becomes so routine it’s like reading a novel chapter by chapter everyday. I know I need to work on that.

Daily Encouragement really helps me through my day as most of the times, the words just hit right to the core! God is awesome. He knows when to speak and in which situation. I haven’t installed the Bible Reader in my computer yet. Peter has it in his laptop. The size of my computer memory doesn’t allow me to further do some installations. So I am glad to be getting some encouragements which is sent everyday. Thank God for Christian Woman Today subscription.

Anyways, back to the verse… I believe that we all face troubles… the only difference is that we know that even if we face troubles, there’s always someone to help us through and that we can always trust and depend in His promises.
