Lao Liao (old already)
26.....26! can you believe it? Im now officially past the mid-twenties.....*shudder*....well I wanted a quiet birthday and have it pass as quickly as possible...but it was nice that people came to wish me a happy birthday...I mean I like that much more then presents...but I like cards the most...

The Tele-Filipina
Uncle Bob called and gave me his birthday greetings as well and I told him how puzzled I was at how so many people at church knew that it was my birthday... he then told me that it was probably the Filipinos who spread the word... he then told me that in this world there's the telefax, the telephone and the tele-filipina...and the fastest moethod of communication was the tele-filipina....and how true he was....thanks Nings/Malou/ Neph hahahahahaha

Hole-in-the-middle
We had lunch at the cafe by the lake near the zoo (and yes thats how i describe it), and Victoria bought my a cake...then Christina told my to make a hole in the centre and distribute the cake from there...apparently in south america its a habit to leave the centre circle for the birthday person...its was a cool idea dont you think! its much more meaningful that way :)

Alpha....
My Alpha group also gave me a mini-surprise birthday party as well...Mark and Celia put up decorations....could you believe it decorations!!!

Well I don't usually like birthdays but last night was special....at the end when we sat down after dinner...I read a passage from the 'back to jerusalem' book and i felt whole again...as if the testimonies in the book had been missing in my life for a while now...God rekindled my heart for missions again...thats the greatest present I received...Khup Khun Pra Chao!!!
