Departures

This is life. There are things that are painful and beyond our control, things that are predestined to happen to us. The pain of separation is so intense this time and in this depressing period in my life. But I am glad we had spent some time with my sister before she sojourned abroad. If we could just keep our family intact and complete everyday, what a wonderful life it would be, but we have our individual dreams, struggles and opportunities and to live the life we choose to live. Only God knows what will happen to me, but I am hoping we will see each other again in one or two years time or whenever the Lord will bring this family together again. This time could have been the perfect time for us, but the pains and hurt I believe will make us grow, in bond and love. The tears that we shed will be rewarded with joy the time when we will be together again. Lord please take care of my sister. She is strong and faithful to you, guide her in every way in the foreign land. Comfort us and make us hope and look forward to that blessed time in the future. And for us who are still with our families, my sister is right. We might have wasted many times but we still have a chance to savor every moment with them.

Single sack racing

Last summer our whole church had a fun day together. We had a lot of fun. We had a lot group activities. One of our fun activities is single sack racing. All of the participants should be in a sack and they have to jump or run if they could. Who ever reaches the finishing line wins.


Ready get set !!!!!!…go!!!!!!

As you can see the participants and the audiences have a lot of fun. There was never a race that every participants have the same speed and win at the same time.

Merry Christmas!!!

We have a merry and loud Christmas eve this year. Loud in the sense that all sound systems here were operated in full volume, at least just for few minutes. And it was not yet New Year’s eve! We have several young people caroling us (they already had few times the previous days) with their voices so great they will give goosebumps. Their choir group (two members are my cousins, and others now church converts) is called “League of Young Voices” and they have been competing nationally. We have some preparation for Christmas eve and we let them eat, and all of us too. It was a really happy day. May yours was a blessed one.

Christmas at home

I chatted with my sister today and I am glad to know that my other sister in Dubai can go home after some issue with the airline ticket that the company is supposed to give her. I am glad all went fine with her and she can now travel. I am excited for them, for the reunion, I wish I am there! Just wishful thinking. We are not clear yet I would go home again for a vacation. It would be nice to spend Christmas with my family this time.

To the Middle East

It seems that our days in India are over, whether temporary or not. We have seen what we have to see, and visited places we ought to while there, and I am privileged which I am so grateful for. Have to move on. Middle east is very exciting for me too. I have several former college classmates and fellow engineers that work there. I want to know more about its culture (music, art, dress, and cuisine) and the beauty there is to share to those who stop to appreciate, or for those who want to see everything there is.

Frontier trivia of the day:

As of 2007, oil and natural gas revenues had enabled Qatar to attain the highest per capita income in the world, followed by Luxembourg. (see note)

Imagine me without you

Imagine me without you. Imagine ourselves without God. Imagine ourselves without our loved ones. It is so hard to lose someone we love so dearly. I know it does not all end up here, but in the moment of losing we cannot help but stop. I will really miss him so terribly. I tried not to question Him or blame anyone, but surely days will be lonely again. Yeah we have to go on, but I will bring all the memories, for comfort.
