This is the hibiscus that I gave May to start it. Isn't it beautiful?

Santa Clause

Unfortunately, it is sad to see many people (non Christian) missing out the true meaning of Christmas Celebration, especially the children. The focus is obviously on Santa Clause instead of Jesus birth. People are getting more weird on the idea of celebrating Christmas. I shared with my Community Group about a skit that still stand out of my memory about a birthday boy who never receive any gifts on his day but those who attend the birthday celebration. The idea is similar to Christmas Season. We tend to gift each other and we forget what would be our gift to Jesus since it is His birthday!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

It's been a while that I've been away from my blog due to the loss of my password and finally I got it this time.

Eye Exam

I finally got my eyes checked the other day [9/10/08] at the SDA Eye Clinic.
A big "THANK YOU"going out to PIBC for their generosity in taking care of my eye exam.
I also would like to thank my Supervisor - May Vigil for always there for me. She did her best in persuading people to get this done. And most of all I thank God for being my provider along the way and for more to come!
Some of you already know that I noticed watery eyes and a growth on both of my eyes.

Exam: The uncorrected visual acuity in the right eyes is 20/25. The left eye sees 20/30 without correction. Well the result was not that bad, it just irritating sometimes.


The doctor have declared that the tissue growth won't cause me to go blind so far but I was told how to protect it from growing.
Pinguecula is the name of this type of growth in the eyes.

I was given a mild prescription. This glasses may help me to be more efficient. I will return for follow -up in about one year.

So that's a big PRAISE! I thank God that it is not something really serious!

PIBC BASKETBALL TEAM in the Past

This is the picture that was taken back few years ago . Our PIBC Basketball Team played hard through all the challenges & against tough players but they always tried to cope with one another and finish up the game together whether to loose or win! Isn't it neat to see some of our PIBC women helping out our players!

More New Computers in the Library!

MeLiSSa's CeLL PhOne

During the gathering at Zion Fellowship Church down in Tamuning 8/10, unfortunately Ethel lost Mel's cell phone. But she didn't realize till the next day morning. It bothered her big time of course! She looked it up almost everywhere to the very point where we had to drive down back to the Church. We couldn't find it anywhere in there. As we hit back to the Campus, somehow she felt that the last place to search would be her car, by looking from outside in, she thought she show something like a cell phone in the front seat, when she opened up the door, it was NOTHING. She totally gave up & was about to leave the car, there surprisingly, she finally find the cell phone right in the back seat of her car. She still confuse of how did the cell phone ended up at the back seat! She don't remember her putting it there... Anyways, it was lost & found! [Big Praise]

CoNgraTuLaTioN LiBBy!

Libby finally got her beautiful car the other day. She was excited about it, now she doesn't need to rely on people for transportation anymore! Isn't that GREAT! That's a big PRAISE :-)

BLESSING Guam

I was moved by Dave's message on Ephesians about "United in Christ" during the Nations Celebration [Blessing Guam] that was taken place at Ypao Field on Sunday 8/2. There were many different nationalities [Korean, Japanese, Chinese, American & Micronesian] who showed up. We had a good time!

Thai Team is Back!

Spending @ Kalau's Place

It was fun spending with Ethel at Pastor Kalau's house.
Surprisingly, I found the Yapese heavy cash at their enterance door! It was more than enough to buy the whole KMart (laugh).

Eating Out @ Jamaican Grill

Ethel & I were able to eat lunch & spend time with Tanja & her mom at Jamaican Grill before they left to Germany last month (June). We had a long conversation after the meal. It was wonderful!

YPAO BEACH

Early this morning around 6:00 A.M. Ethel & I went to Ypao Beach to do our morning devotion and of course swim :-) That was a really good exercise in the morning. It made our day...
The water was really kool and the beach was not that crowded.

Bethania High School

My first & last moment @ Bethania. It's a beautiful Campus with a nice beach across. I met the "Principal" Daisy Ulitch (smile). "She got one more year to work" she said.

~My Palaun Family~

This is the family that I stayed with in Palau. I strongly thank God for the opportunity He gave me to be part of this family. They're nice and supportive people. It was such a big blessing being with them. This was my last day with them so they took me on an island tour. We enjoyed our time together. I also spent time with the wife doing a little Bible Study & Prayer at the house after the kids get to bed. This is their beautiful house! I also got a chance to spend time with the kids and get to know them. I taught some kids songs & actions songs to them. We also pray together at the table before their meals. It was wonderful, I enjoyed being around with them.

I was also blessed by this guy (my driver) who was always willing and available to drive me around. The family kindly assigned him to drive me whenever and wherever I needed to go. God did provided all my needs during my stay in Palau. On top of that God opened the door for me to shared with this guy & encouraged him in his faith. He has been searching & was exposed to many different Churches/Religions (Iglesia Ni Christo, Catholic & much more) but he stopped going to any Churches for a while until I showed up. Well, I don't blame him, he was trying to explore the truth and the real teaching about God. In fact he has to drive me to Emmaus Church every Sunday morning so he ended up coming along with me to PEC. Surprisingly, before I leave he persuaded that he will continue to attend the Service at Emmaus Evangelical Church. That's a big praise!
