         Hi! It's been a while, been busy with the online shop of my daughter, Georgina. I think I have to revise my 60 before 60 as I have turned 60 already, I am not stressed out, or maybe I would like to think I am not :)     Here's my update and this will be the end of it, I mean the end of this list because I am going to make a new one, a more practical one.        Memorize verses from the Bible. ~   memorizing... still memorizing         Read the entire Bible. ~   reading... still reading       Learn how to incorporate Bible verses in my prayers. ~  practicing... still practicing       Learn how to pray sincerely. ~  learning... still learning       Pray confidently in public.         Pray for others without being conscious.     ...

    It was a sunny morning of the 19th of May, this year, when my one of the things to do before I turn 60, materialized. Many thanks to my loving sister who treated us as her Mother's Day gift to us, namely, my mom, my sister, Lolit, and me. It was also her birthday gift to my other sister, Luchi who turned 50 on April of this year. My ever-supportive daughter, Georgina, willingly offered to take me to Subic, the place where we all agreed to stay. On our way to Subic, at SCTEX Georgina, driving We're almost there :) Stopped by Texas Joe's for our lunch We were given crayons and manila paper spread out on our table My note to my daughter :) Georgina's fancy doodles Our barbecued baby back ribs, so far the best ribs I have tasted. Along the same street, a few steps away,  is Terrace Hotel, where we planned to stay. The receiving area, with my mom,  Lolit and Luchi TV on the left, facing the receiving area, and ...

    I wanted to be a nutritionist when I was growing up. Food excites me. It all started when I was in Grade V. We had this subject, Home Economics, wherein I was a leader of one of the 4 groups in my class. This subject was about home management and caring for your home and family. We were taught how to run a family properly, handicrafts, sewing, cleaning a house, cooking, baking, nutrition, even how to plan a balanced meal. I was always excited to learn anything about this subject but what really sparked my interest  was food and nutrition. Hence, I started to read about food, what it does to our body, what the nutrition value of a certain food is, and recipes!     I baked my first cookie when I was 12 and have been baking since then. It gives me a certain high every time I see my baked products. But after all the butter, gluten from flour, sugar that I consumed for the past 40+ years, I acquired this problem in my stomach. I had hyperacidity or ac...

This little man is still so shy that he doesn't want to open his eyes He is more relaxed now, how cute. Napping time     This is Marek and meeting him is on my list of 60 before 60. There was this strange feeling when I saw him but I must admit that I was overjoyed seeing him. I loved how he made faces whenever he noticed that we were looking at him. After several minutes of getting familiarized with us, he became more relaxed and started to talk and play and roam around the place. He is a hyper-active boy, but a disciplined one (thanks to her mom). I can see that he is intelligent and lovable and happy.  It was a momentous event and I will forever treasure this in my heart.
