Happy Christening Daniela!

I love this name, Daniela, because it reminds me of one Latin teleserye way back in 2005 I devotedly followed, Daniela, starring the very pretty Colombian actress, Litzy.

And yesterday, I became one of the godmothers of Daniela!^_____^
Welcome to the Christian world, Daniela!

She is the second child and first daughter of Helen’s sister, Emma Monte, and I found her super cute and behave! I rarely noticed behave and quiet kids nowadays but Daniela, at one month and nine days, was so behaved during the baptism ceremony, she never squirmed nor wailed, she just slept all through out. She is one of my godchildren with a mother who is close to me. I’ve known Emma since her college days and Helen is one of my best friends in life, a kind of friend whom I can truly trust, confiding all my secrets, hehehe!

It was my second time to be at St. Mary’s Church in Buhangin for a christening, in December 2009, I went there for the christening of Ameira Breanne Faustino where I stood as one her godmothers, she is the daughter of Engr. Roumel Faustino and Bels Faustino. The circumstance was also very special since Mel and Bel are both good friends and they asked me to be a godmother when Breanne was still in Bel's tummy.

Yesterday was a good breather since I was able to relax and talk to my closest colleagues in UIC. I went there with Juvy, Roy and Jerry and while at the car of Jerry we talked so many weird things, hahaha! At the church we joined other colleagues, Margie, Givan and Cherry. We went to Indangan for the reception and renewed our little sharing, laughing in-between and poking fun with each other. We went home past 3:00 in the afternoon and while at the car we continued the conversation which has nothing to do with our future.hahaha!

It was a relaxing day, full of laughter and fun!

My First Travel Abroad!

Image
Got a taste of real life adventure outside the country! :-D Back in my high school years, I often wondered what's on the other side of the continent, how people lived, what the environment looks like, the culture, the food, the lifestyle and the feeling of being in a completely different place. So I dreamed of going to another land, not necessarily to work, but to satisfy my curiosity and explore new learnings and experiences. Then one day, a good friend, Maribeth Galindo, coordinator of the social science division at UIC, told me to join their group for a leisure trip to Hongkong and Macau after summer break and because my passport will about to expire early next year with no single stamp yet from the immigration, I wasted no time and agreed. For the next three months, I became preoccupied with our itinerary plan, listing down everything I could think for this trip, I also did some research on different tourist spots around Hongkong and Macau and what public transp...

San Pedro Cathedral, stepping on Theological history

Image
San Pedro Cathedral, one of the largest Catholic Churches in Asia, made another history with its newly refurbish altar and tabernacle. The grand renovation, which partly done in Baroque architecture, has a stunning contrast of Gothic and Renaissance designs ushering both Theological and modern influences. This is quite interesting since only few Catholic churches in the Philippines so far use Baroque architecture. The structure is furnished in Auburn color accentuated with panel of Gold shade with emblems of Eucharistic mystery. The tabernacle has a luminous ray of Sapphire and Cobalt blue combinations.       The Cathedral's roof structure is designed like a boat symbolizing St. Peter's humble beginning. According to the Holy Bible, when he was handpicked by Jesus Christ to be His disciple, he was still Simeon, the Fisherman, Jesus then renamed him Peter and was later on selected as the "rock" whom Christ built His church. St. Peter became the first Pope, thus, all P...

Great Schemers

Kate Middleton and her mother, Carole Middleton, can be compared to Sir Thomas Boleyn and his daughter Anne Boleyn. Both great schemers. But unlike the Middletons, the Boleyns were aristocrats. THE BOLEYNS During medieval period, being linked to a King or a future King is like acquiring a large Estate, it would also enhance their standing in the society, so parents pushed their daughters so hard to be near to the royals. Sir Thomas Boleyn was exactly one of them. When his two daughters, Mary and Anne, were growing up, he made it clear they would be hovering around royalty. He sent both his daughters to the French court to be trained as Ladies-in-waiting.  When Anne returned home, she became an accomplished and well-educated woman ready to become a mistress of a King. Her father and uncle, Thomas Howard, the 2nd Duke of Norfolk, moved forward to place her in the English royal court, they introduced the young Anne to the notorious King, Henry VIII. Anne first served as...
