Happy Birthday Jesus!!!!!

I am who I am today because of the sacrifices He made for me when He hanged on that cross. So it is just fair that my whole life is dedicated to Him. I want so much to be like Zacchaeus, knowing how short he was and how people hated him because he was a tax collector; climbed the Sycamore tree, just to see this "famous" man knowing perfectly well he would not be noticed. But hey, you know what, He called him by name - he knew Zacchaeus and He wants to stay in his house. And I want so much to share how that woman felt - that woman; who sold herself to earn a living by selling her body but every time she laid on her back it took a bit of her away and it destroyed her emotionally and spiritually. She anointed His feet with her tears and the ointment she bought with her one year earning laying on her back, but no critictism came from Him.

How beautiful this child that was born today two thousand years ago. He looks beyond your appearance, beyond oneself and the only reason He did it was because He loves us and that is enough for me.

Happy Birthday Jesus......

WASSSSSSappppppp!!!!!!!


My elder brother got married this morning. Yeah, my estranged brother. Never thought in a million years he'll do this kind of thing but everybody is glad for at least it will give him the sense of responsibility; not that he is not but now he has a "family" to take care of.

Terry Toda married May Ann Padilla this morning in a Civil Court; just a simple ceremony witnessed by the whole family . The morning started with Snah and I being the Mak Andam terjun. Although the whole ordeal was a bit messy (nothing new when it comes to this brother) but that is just the way we are; at least we did it as a family. His journey in uniting with his wife is also not an easy journey. It started I guess in August 2010 when they fell in love with each other. We only met May in June(correct me if I am wrong). May is from the Philippines; they flew to KL twice just to get the clearance by the Philippines and Malaysian authorities. They only got the green light 2 weeks ago with every body's delight especially mom.

So, here to you Mr. & Mrs Igat. Congratulations!!! and may you be blessed with many memories and the tapping of little feet..... We share your happiness.

The family will be welcoming the new edition to the family; Jeremiah(so he says) in March 2012.

So the new chapter of life begins.......

Since November, my weekends were emmm, how should i put it; hectic?, fulfilling?, busy?, tiring? And it is also that time of the year when you have lots of PARTYING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We were in Miri for cuz Mimi's wedding.It was an in-prompt-to kind of thing until lil' bro pressed the "enter" key on Air Asia website. Still, i don't think I regretted. Travelling with the kids this time around were fun. They are bigger this time unlike 3 years ago when I brought them for a trip to KL. This was our 1st trip to Miri ever (except for the MOTH who had a week's attachment when he was working with his last company)

So, to Mimi and Ronnie, welcome to the club and may your lives be blessed with lots of little Mimis and Ronnies.

It was the 1st time that we met Jareth too. He is the latest edition to the family; the MOTH's nephew. He is so adorable; for a while was a nice feeling to be able to hold a baby.


And of coz we loved the sunset at Luak Bay.......


and our stayed at the Park Everly......


and we enjoyed Hayden's birthday (Jareth's elder brother).....


It was a good trip and I would like to thank my sister-in-law Senorita and the family and Freda Godeng and the family for their hospitality. Moga kalau ada rezeki, kita akan pegi dan buat lagi ok.
