Curbside Stories

A little something to tickle your funny bones and imagination. Have a great day everyone!

My son was born on January 18, 2008 at around 10:15 PM via Caesarian Section. He weighed 7.9 pounds, pretty large boy.  After five years, I could still vividly remember the first time I held him when the doctor put him on my chest when he came out. I was still at the operating room. I was groggy because of anesthesia, but, I could still remember his loud cry, his pinkish and wrinkly skin, and his angelic face. He is such a darling! He is my life and the only person who brings constant happiness in my life.

Life of Pi is a story of a boy named Piscine (Pi), who became trapped with a Bengal tiger for 227 days after their ship sank in the Pacific Ocean together with his family. It is basically a story of faith, hope, friendship and survival. I was lucky to have seen this movie last week. It moved my faith to another level. Do you believe in God? If not, this book (and movie) will make you become a believer.

I had the most life changing dream last night. It was the first time that it happened to me. It was the most concrete proof of God's intercession in my life... the proof that God is always with me, because He was with me even in my dream. In my dream, I was sleeping and was possessed by a demon. I was alone. My body stiffened, I could not breathe, but my mind was clear. I prayed. I have never prayed like that before. I was crying. I closed my eyes. I prayed for forgiveness and salvation. I surrendered myself to God. When I opened my eyes, while still in demonic possession, I saw before me a familiar image taking form. It was Jesus Christ! My heart rejoiced and I cried of happiness that He heard my prayers. All I could think of at that moment is I am saved. He stretched out his right arm, reaching his hand to me. I reached out my hand in return. There was a blinding light and the possession was no more.   When I woke up, I checked the time on my cellphone. It was 4AM....

This is how the love of God is revealed to us: God has sent his only Son into the world so that we can live through him.  1 John 4:9 Never forget that HE is always with us... no matter what.

I got these cook books from my Kris Kringle monita. Cook book is actually in my wish list this Christmas. Wishes do come true! Woot woot!

Merry Christmas! I could not ask for more. God has blessed me with so many things this year that I am deeply humbled by His generosity. If there are things that I would wish to have, it would be for other people. I pray for the victims of Typhoon Pablo and the rest of the calamity-stricken areas to be safe and to continue to gather their faith and strength to build their lives again. I pray for the people to continue to help and extend their generosity to those who need their help the most. I pray for the victims of Sandy Hook Elementary and their loved ones to find healing, peace, acceptance and forgiveness so that they may be able to live their lives better than today like what the innocent children wants them to have. I pray for wisdom to all country leaders to exert extra effort to promote harmonious living within their country and among other nations. I pray for Your continued mercy. May You guide us towards the right path through your Son Jesus Christ, o...
