Japan Earthquake and Tsunami
A few days after we arrived in Manila, news of the tsunami and earthquake was shown on TV. We were quite fortunate, having left earlier than our planned extended stay. It was also lucky that my sister and her hubby went to another island far from Tokyo after we left their home.

Two Birthdays and a Trip
It's our birthday month! CB celebrated his 3rd birthday with a Toy Story theme at McDonald's. I made a Toy Story cake using a ready-made marshmallow icing cake and decorated it using a Toy Story poster and toy figures bought in a toy store. My little boy was so happy with all the gifts and toys he received!
A couple of days after, we travelled to Tokyo, Japan where my younger sister and her husband are staying for a couple of months for a short teaching stint in a University. Unfortunately, CB (cheeky boy) got sick and contracted a flu. It's a good thing my brother-in-law spoke fluent Nihongo, we didn't have to go to an international hospital for consultation. My little boy had to take Tamiflu, as part of his recovery meeds, though.
Oh, and I had a simple birthday celebration, got cool gifts (like Hello Kitty stuff LOL) from my mom and sisters. It was so much fun to be with my family again!

New Year, New Post!
Happy New Year!
Gad, it's been such a long time since I posted on this blog! I miss blogging, for sure. But just can't seem to find the time to just sit down and start it. One of my new year's resolution is to update my blogs at least 1-2 times a month and fingers crossed, I'll be able to do that. Since I find it a real effort to sit long enough infront of my laptop, I will try to post more photos and short notes with it. I miss my blogging friends too, and will start visiting other mom blogs again.
Hubby moved up the corporate ladder again and we have moved to Vietnam. It's our first time to celebrate New Year here and I must admit that it was a nice change from all the noise and pollution (from fireworks) I've been used to in Manila. No fireworks show in sight, being on a high floor, we could see a lot from a good distance. We had a simple family dinner and opened some gifts after that, then watched the New Year's countdown in different countries on cable news (CNN and BBC).
New country, new adventures. Catch up with you all soon!

Brother Eraño G. Manalo, dies at 84
It is truly a sad day for all our brethren in the church, as we learn of the news of Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC) Executive Minister Erano G. Manalo's death. Our family found out early this morning, before the news was shown on Net25.
Information from Inquirer.net:
"Eraño Manalo, religious leader of the Iglesia Ni Cristo, passed away in his home Monday, an official of one of the country’s largest religious groups said Tuesday.
Manalo, INC executive minister, passed away at 3:53 p.m. of August 31, said INC spokesman Bienvenido Santiago in a statement aired over the INC-owned television network Net 25 Tuesday morning.
Manalo was 84.
Quoting Manalo's doctor Rey Melchor Santos, Santiago said the religious leader died of cardiopulmonary arrest.
“Hinihiling namin na patnubayan ang buong Iglesia sa panahon ng matinding dalamhati (We request that the entire Church be guided during this time of severe grief),” Santiago said in a brief statement on television.
The wake will be open to the public later this Tuesday.
The remains of Manalo will be interred at the Templo Sentral of the INC in Quezon City, Santiago said.
The Iglesia, which has ministries around the world, is a known political force, voting as a bloc during elections."
After writing this blog entry, we are going to the INC Central Temple to meet with some relatives who are already inside the church, to view and pay tribute to our beloved Ka Erdy.
The flock is in grief, but it is as strong as ever, if not stronger... We will never forget our beloved brother. I vow to carry on...
