My Motorcycle Accessories

It's been ten years since I bought my Yamaha motorcycle. It was January 2000 when I got a loan for the down payment of my motorcycle. It took me three years to pay it. I bought it so I can have a ride in going to work. No I didn't drive it. It was my youngest brother who drove it for me and he took me to my work and then come back and pick me up. It was really a great help because I can go to my work on time. The motorcycle was my service for more than three years until I got married and migrated abroad. I left it to my brother and he's been using it as his service. Now after ten years, the motorcycle still runs good. It's just that it needs some accessories to make it look and run better. Well, I've been telling my brother to buy some accessories that will fit the motorcycle like the BrakeAway motorcycle accessories. It was just a suggestion but it's really up to him what accessories he wants to buy. I'm pretty sure my brother knows what he wants but most of the time he listens to his big sister.

Field Trip (Part I)

Last Saturday, hubby and I went with my nephews and their parents to Manila for their field trip. Hubby and I decided to go with them so we can see those tourist spots there that we haven't seen yet. There were 2 big buses filled with students and their parents plus a van with the staff and faculty members of the school. We left at 3:00 AM and the we arrived in Manila at 7:00 AM. First stop was at the Quezon City Circle. We had our breakfast there. We brought some foods and we just bought coffee for hubby and hot chocolate for the 2 boys. There were quite a few buses that were parked there obviously hired by other schools for their field trip too. After we ate, we went to the Quezon City Museum which is just a walking distance. I'm not very fond in going to museums but I just did it for curiosity. I know that was an educational field trip for the students and they learned something about our first president Manuel Quezon. Next stop will be in my next post.

1st Year Anniversary

It's our church's 1st year anniversary today. It feels like it was only yesterday when we got here in my homeland. Time flies so fast when you're having fun. We had a good celebration in our church this morning. We invited a guest preacher and we had a good worship service. I invited some of our neighbors too and I was so glad they came for the 1st time. After the worship service we served lunch for all our guests and members. We ordered the foods from our neighbor who is a caterer. The foods were so good and we had lots of leftovers. We had more than enough for supper.

Postcards For Friends

I've been meaning to send some greeting cards to my loved ones and friends across the sea. But the problem is it I don't have the right cards yet to send them. I've been looking at the stores every time my hubby and I go there but the cards there doesn't look appealing to my eyes. Besides, the stores we've been to have limited choices so I decided to look somewhere else. I dislike spending time looking around but I have no choice. I can’t anything that I wanted in the stores. I decided to go online and browsed some websites and I've seen quite a few sites that sells postcard and some other stuffs. Well, I've seen a lot of styles and designs of postcards online and after looking at those designs, I decided what I wanted and I finally settled to it. Hubby said that I am so picky, picky but what can I do, this is me and I won’t settle for anything less than the best. Hubby knows this trait of mine. Well, I'm pretty sure my friends and loved would be delighted when they will receive the postcards that I am going to send them.

Hubby Is Excited

This is a late post but I just wanna write here that my hubby got his permanent resident visa renewable after a year. Next step is to get his ACR card but since we are not yet planning to travel soon, we decided to get it later. Right now, we can concentrate on our ministry here. Hubby is scheduled to have a Bible study and he will be the speaker at the police station here in our town. Another Baptist pastor has invited him and he gladly accepted it. Now he's looking forward to it and that will be on the 21st of this month. It's a blessing to have the opportunity to share the gospel to those men in uniforms.

My Treasured Valentine's Day Gift

It's hard to believe that two weeks had already gone by this new year and it won't be long, it will be Valentine's Day again a few weeks from now. I can't help myself to reminisce my first ever diamond ring which my hubby gave to me as a Valentine's Day gift in 2004. Hubby and I were supposed to repeat our wedding vows in Texas on Valentine's Day that same year that's why he bought me that ring but since it snowed on that day, we had to postponed our wedding on the next day. I really treasured that moment and also my diamond ring. It was one of my most treasured Valentine's Day Gifts that I received from hubby. But lo and behold! After three years, that ring was stolen together with some of my jewelries that hubby had given me. I was so devastated and since then I kept requesting my hubby to replace the diamond ring that was stolen. He didn't grant my request yet. I know that diamonds are so pricey but who knows this coming Valentine's Day, I would get what I’ve been requesting from my hubby. Knowing my hubby, he always love to surprise me like what he did this past holiday.

Bible Reading

Well, what did I do today? I read my Bible early in the morning. It's the first month of the year and I decided to start reading again the Old Testament. I started from Genesis and I already read 19 chapters. I have read the entire Bible a few times already and every time I read it, I learned something new. My Bible is King James version and you know what? Many years ago, I didn't want to read King James because it's so hard to understand but as I prayed to the Holy Spirit and read it a few times, I can now easily understand. Both hubby and I are using the King James Bible because it's unedited, unlike the other versions which most of the verses were deleted. I hope to finish reading the entire Bible before the year ends that is if Jesus Christ will not yet return.

Fixing Cars

My husband knows how to do auto mechanic works. When there's something wrong in our car, he's the one fixing it. My hubby used to have a wrecking yard before so he has a good experience in fixing cars. During his younger days, when his car broke on the road while he was traveling, he fixed it by himself because he always carry his tools in his car wherever he goes. Now that he's older and he has some back pains and arthritis, he can hardly stoop now or much more bend and work on the car if it breaks. He told his friends and kinfolks to just look for a good collision repair expert like the auto body shop montclair if something happens to their cars. Hubby is not getting any younger and he has gained a lot of weight too which make it hard for him to do the work that he used to do during his younger years. That's what age do to you, so while you're young, enjoy life to the fullest and do the things that you're passionate with because when you get older, you can’t do the things that you used to do.
