DS as Choir Pianist at Tulong Dunong Thanksgiving Mass in Kostka Chapel

Tulong Dunong Summer Class of 2016's culminating activity, 

wherein DS served as Choir Pianist during the Mass this morning

What a fruitful way to serve the community, and making this summer one memorable event, 

as DS ended his days as Tulong Dunong Tutor

in his beloved Ateneo -- and onwards to achieving and making his goals

and dreams come to life in the UP College of Medicine 

starting August...

My Mother's Day

What a blessed day this was for us!

For we were chosen to offer the Bread and Wine 

during Mass this evening at the Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish.

The priest blessed each one of us too after handing them over to him.  

This is the first time this ever happened to me/us, 

and we are amazed about this experience.  :)

Sumptuous dinner after Mass
at one of our favorite Japanese restaurants -- Roku  :)

Mother's Day with the Extended Family

Thanks to my BIL, Apollo, for the Mother's Day lunch.

Mother's Day 2016

HAPPY MOTHER's DAY to all my Mommy friends, 

but most especially to MY DEAR MOM -- LM --

Ma, I just want you to know that even if I don't say or make you feel it, 

you are always loved and appreciated by me. I <3 you! :)

DS is Accepted in the U.P. College of Medicine INTARMED Program

Praising God to the highest for granting our prayers! Our son, Migs, made it to the FINAL list of 20 boys accepted at the University of the Philippines College of Medicine 7-year INTARMED program. 

This is a dream come true for him, and all the glory is His! Thank you, Lord, and to all those who offered prayers for us and kept our intentions in their thoughts. 

With this, we say goodbye for now to our beloved Ateneo, who has been so good and gracious to us all the way. You will always be Migs's second home. 

Thank you again, family and friends. 

For the greater glory of God! ♥
