DS's 18th Birthday

Dearest DS,

I can’t believe that you are now celebrating your 18th year! 

I know that you don’t really like posts like this, but I have a license today since it is your special day, and I am responsible for your existence, haha. 

It feels like just a moment ago when Dad and I held you in our arms -- a squirmy, fussy, 7.2-pound howler! 

Now you have grown to be a fine young man, and we are proud of you and the many blessings that you have also given us, your parents. 

All those years that led to this day are all worth the journey as we watch in amazement how the Lord’s purpose in your life is slowly and steadily coming into fruition. 

May your dream and desire of becoming a medical doctor - especially for the underserved - be fulfilled as you allow Him to use you for His glory. 

I proclaim that you will be a blessing to a lot of your future patients because I know your heart and where it is deeply anchored. 

May it always and forever be after His own heart. Keep the light of your lamp lit and make it shine even brighter -- so that others may see your good deeds and glorify our Father in heaven. 

Happy 18th birthday, Migs; we <3 <3 <3 you so, Anak!

This verse from Job 22:26-28 is our 18th birthday blessing/prayer for you, Migs. Claim it too -- “Then you will enjoy God All-Powerful, and you will look up to him. When you pray, he will hear you. And you will be able to do all that you promised him. If you decide to do something, it will be successful. And your future will be very bright!”

Dinner After DS's MedChoir Prac

Right after fetching DS from his MedChoir 
practice at PazMen... :)
At Shrimp Shack.








Another BIG Blessing for DS

Thanking and praising God for another big blessing -- Based on the results of his 2015 UPCAT score, Migs was granted a UP Scholarship which covers full tuition for his whole course of INTARMED in the UP College of Medicine. In addition to this, he will be given a monthly stipend, and book allowance every semester. 

We were informed about this in July, but waited until the actual grant came out -- which is only this October. Since it came late, and the 1st sem already started, UP refunded all the payments we made in full.

(((( put pic here but blur Migs's name ))))


Migs is now, in the real sense of the word, an Iskolar ng Bayan for the next 7 years. All our prayers were answered. What an amazing God we have!

Classes Cancelled Due to TS Lawin

Yesterday evening, classes in all levels were cancelled (for Thursday) 
because of Typhoon Lawin, so we fetched DS last night from the condo. 

This afternoon, after DD's ballet, we checked the Ringway Digital Piano for DS 
from Power Play Sta. Lucia, then off we went to Roku for dinner, and dessert at Noonsaram.



TYL, for a good Thursday. :)
