Dear Mymy,

Greetings from the Ateneo de Davao!
The Pamulak (Floral Parade) was another major activity and attraction during the August Kadayawan festivities. Below are pictures of the winners in the Traditional Category and other participating floats. Grand prize winner was Sul Orchids, owned by Mrs. Sally Uy Leuenberger and her husband Engineer Eduardo Leuenberger. Both Ed and Sally were once upon a time members of the Ateneo de Davao faculty. The 2nd and 3rd place prizes went to the groups owned by Charito Puentespina and her family. Charito Puentespina was a student of mine way back in the 60s and belongs to BSC 1967.

Congratulations to the Leuenbergers and Puentespinas and all the other winners and creators of the Floral Floats which participated in the last day of this year's Kadayawan Festival! May these colorful and beautiful floats with all their pretty flowers, fruits, plants and other gifts of Mother Earth imprint in our minds and hearts respect and grateful love for God's gift of Mother Earth which provides us, specially in Mindanao, with so many blessings for our happiness. May we reciprocate God's bounty by strengthening our spirit of brotherhood/sisterhood, our peaceful living and sharing with one another, specially the needy.

Happy Weekend! God bless you and your loved ones.

I've Got A Friend In You

Thanks to you my friend Norm. It is my joy in life to find many friends online and I feel so bless to have a pretty friend like you. To have a friend and be a friend is what makes life worthwhile. Thank you so much for considering me also as one of your friend. A true friend loves at all times (Proverbs 17:17). May God fill you with all joy, love, peace and happiness in life and let God guide in all your plans, in all your dreams, in all your wish to happen in your life. God bless you always and forever...

lessons i've learned that made me stronger and a better person

A big part of who I am is a combination of influences from my parents. The people I have met and experiences I've been through also play a part. You try to be the best you can be and along the way people and events in your life shape you. You have to learn things as you go along. You learn from every experience, whether good or bad. You learn from kids, the wise men, and even the not-so-wise. I'm grateful for everything that's happened in my life-the blessings, mistakes and even painful experiences. I think everything happens for a reason and eventually I believe I will find some good in every bad situation. To all my friends I'd like to share this quote of mine to you "Don't let anyone steal your dreams. Follow your heart, no matter what."

Thankful Thursday

I thank God for the gift of life, happiness and good health. I am thankful that I have a friend Norm from Canada who helped me encourage to do blogging. My hard work was paid off and I started reaping rewards from it. Just like yesterday 19th of August, I got a paycheck from Adbrite ads though it wasn't a big amount but it's my start of opening a dollar savings account from it.

And I thank God for giving me this blessings that really helped me a lot. Life has been always favorable to me. These are the things that I am thankful these days that I want to share this Thursday.

Sexy Lingerie

I love shopping on many kinds of lingerie online because I can have many choices that are very affordable, comfortable, trendy and quality products. My preference is to wear something nice and sexy as I feel so sexy walking down the street even if it's just an inner wear. But some women have different preferences, they want simple design yet elegant and comfortable, others love daring and sexy.

They have sexy lingerie to choose from such as baby dolls, baby stockings, bras, bustier, bikinis, camisole, chemises, corsets, mini dresses, matching sets, open bust, teddies, club wear, dresses, gowns, patent vinyl, garter belts, gloves, fishnet pantyhose, thights, skirt sets, panties, thongs and a lot more.

So if you want to gift your wife, girlfriends, sister, or lover this valentine's day, just visit their website at SexyDepot.com. I am sure the person that you will give this perfect present would be very happy to receive your gift this valentine's day.
