Daily Directions

Watching Pastor Joel Osteen over at his YouTube channel talking about daily directions . He was telling us that we need to pray and ask God for daily directions in our life . We may sometimes think that we know what to do with our lives and neglecting God's provision but we may go on but there will be things that we will be missing out .

I remember before in my life I feel as if I have everything I need but something is still missing and I found it from the word of Bro Bo Sanchez in one of his talks , Jesus will complete that missing part that I am looking for in my life . A relationship with God /Jesus will complete our journey in this life .
God will provide that daily direction we need in our every day , we just have to ask for it .

Thank you Lord for loving us and providing for our daily needs.

Empty Nest

My house use to be full of noise with three (3) children around us but nowadays we have an almost empty house as my children have found work in the Middle East and my eldest just got married and establishing his own household now. It is an adjustment indeed as we even build a three story house for our family .

Are you experiencing an empty nest ? As a parent this is quite difficult for us to face as our children are finding their own place in this world. I remember a commercial of McDonalds about a couple who had many children but as the years passed by one by one they are leaving the mother house and the  background music was the song of Noel Cabangon Kanlungan . Quite touching really . That time when I watch that commercial I truly appreciate my mother or my parents as we are seven (7) children in the family . I know their sacrifices for us as they lead us to our success .

Appreciate your parents as they love you so much . God bless us all.

Travelling

Travelling nowadays seems to be life with our millennials generation . You can see pictures of their travels in their social media accounts.And they are even influencing their families as they bring them along with their travel adventures .

Based on my experience , it's really enjoyable travelling as a family as you spend the whole day together ....eating , conversing just anything under the sun , sometimes even doing nothing just let time passing by , just enjoying time together .

I also experiencing travelling alone for work and it was quite difficult eating alone thus you are not motivated to go around as well . So if you have the time and the budget I encourage to spend time with your family members

Enjoy and God bless you all .

Ocean Park Adventure

While in Hongkong , we decided to go and visit another tourist attraction and see the Ocean Park . It's on the 2nd day that we decided to go and visit the Panda bear . If it's Cathy's dream to see Disneyland  it's Tin desire to see a real Panda bear ., which is her favorite character in her stuff toys and other souvenir items . Since Daniel was in Palawan that time in his honeymoon so Cathy was the one who search for our tickets . According to the twin , if we buy in Ocean Park our time will be consume on the long lines there . We also tried buying in a 7 11 store but it was too expensive . So Cathy found one in the Net .

So off we went to visit Ocean Park and see the real Panda bear . So this time it's Christine dream of seeing a real Panda bear . We never know if we will still go back to Hongkong in the future.

We even tried a cable car ride off the high mountains of Hongkong . There was even turbulence while riding the  cable car . Honestly quite scary for me who has fear of heights nowadays but mustered all my strength and energy for this once in a lifetime experience . All of us rode the cable car and luckily we finished the ride no choice once you are inside the cable car .

On our way home, there was even a trio singing some beautiful old songs , which I even posted in my You Tube channel .

Thank you Lord for this beautiful opportunity.

Hongkong Disneyland Team Santos adventures

It's been sometime that I post my last blog but here I am again and I would like to share the recent Team Santos adventures . As mentioned in my precious blog my twin daughters will be coming home to the Philippines from Abu Dhabi UAE to attend the wedding of their eldest brother . So they came home for 15 - 17 days to be with us and before going back to Abu Dhabi . we had a short vacation in Hongkong for 5 days . Then we visited Hongkong Disneyland . It was such an amazing experience because you are with your family .

Family is life . You get to experience the best because they are around you . We are all back to our regular life of working , finding a better future and making a living . It was Cathy's dream to go to Disneyland . I remember even making as an incentive that if she graduates with honors we will go to Disneyland . But she indeed graduated with honors but if we will all go there as a family the expenses will be a huge amount so I just gifted her with a big cash amount and she agreed Thank God . Now this is her time to shine she said that dreams do really come true .

We were so happy as a family while in Hongkong Disneyland which can be seen in our pictures posted in our Instagram and Facebook accounts .

Thank you Jesus for granting dreams to come true .

My Dunkin Family

It has been years since I last saw my Dunkin' family but you are always in my heart . There were a lot of things that I learned from Dunkin Donuts where I worked for 15 long years . I decided to leave my work for my children , just to prove they are my priority back then . Armed with a promising career as a manager I left my position to be a full time Mom. It even took me two ( 2) years to look for a replacement .

At Dunkin I learned how to manage a training store, how to open a new franchise , how to be a department manager , how to do strategic or business planning and all these things I was able to use in my future work assignments.

Because when my children graduated in high school , I decided to go back to corporate work and be an HR Manager again so high time to still use my knowledge and skills in HR through Dunkin.

Dunkin was one company I will always treasure in my career as it give me the breaks that I need and my mentor , Engr Nes Co , honed me to be an effective manager . Of course , my Personnel and Training team also gave me the support I need to be a leader in our department . They were an amazing and tremendous team to work with and best people to be with .
