Vancouver & Daddy

vancouver has always been a city that intrigued me! i mean, its pretty from a few thousand feet up in the air, the airport is gorgeous and well from what i hear... its just pretty all together. 

so i think this year it'll be my next stop. i will make it a point to visit vancouver and spend say a week here, who knows... i may just move here... hahaha. yeah. knowing my track record for moving and picking up... who knows right? 

dad and i had a great time yesterday. we went to dimsum with ninong paeng and ninang sylvia. it was fun. we just talked about old times and just how much things have changed. and then dad and i hit mississauga and visited lola. after that we did more stuff before settling down for dinner at swiss chalet. hmm... sarap sobra! 

so this morning, as i was getting ready to leave, i could not help but think of how much of a daddy's & mommy's girl i am. at my age, you'd think saying goodbye and getting on a plane would be easy. something i've gotten used to. i still choke up when i hear daddy say "i love you hija. i'll be praying for your safe trip." it makes me well up inside and just want to run back and stay there. be with him. be with him and mommy. not because it's comfortable being around them... no. it's because i love being with them. the talks that we have, sometimes the arguments, the silly things we talk about. the dreams that we talk about, the prayers we whisper as a family. i cannot wait until we meet in hong kong this month. it'll be the perfect way to celebrate father's day and their wedding anniversary. 

i love you dad. can't wait to see you.

He is Great!

The past few months have been very exciting... crazy and wild. But all I can say is that GOD IS GOOD! He has been so faithful to us. Just always protecting us from late nights, long hours, sickness. The business has been picking up like you can't believe. When people said we couldnt... Or that we wouldn't last.... Obviously, they don't know our GOD and how HE IS GREAT!!

To add to the long list of blessings we have, we got an apartment just this morning. When we thought it was going to be a difficult one, it wasn't!! So Alex and Mom are going to move in this weekend since its a long weekend.

And just when we thought we were SUPER BLESSED, dad called us to let us know that the Canadian embassy wrote mom about her citizenship! They've verified it and now we are moving on to the final step of Jorge's (pictured on the right!) adoption! PRAISE HIM PRAISE HIM!!

Count your blessings!

Name them one by one!

Count your many blessings!

See what God has done!

I'll be back in Manila in a few days and I'll be blogging my journey from there... Or whenever I have time!
