hapi *ello!

so i'm back from my hiatus of blogging....felt real strange not posting anything for awhile.
finals went well and yet another semester of graduate school is at my door knocking (started this week)
and i'm itching for this degree to already find its end.

last weekend was a variety of being spent celebrating my mom's pre-birthday at the Trump Tower Chicago Hotel downtown...and it was really relaxing...(pictures to post in future posts).  amongst the fun spent shopping, taking the sites in....it was also spent reflecting on life.  it's ironic how at church we just had an outreach called "life is short"----and during the weekend je's dad was admitted into the hospital for pneumonia----it might not seem much to some, but being Christian you see those that don't know God (no relationship) and see how short life is for them....without knowing and participating in God's love and goodness.  thankfully, je shared to his dad about God's love, and now comes the part of continual feeding of God's word.

May is upon us, along with many birthdays!  well...it was my mom's birthday may 3rd and... HAPPY BIRTHDAY JASMIN! and my tatay (my grandfather) is turning a wonderful 100 years old this sunday (saturday Philippines time). how i wish i could be there to hug him and wish him in person a blessed birthday.

also....it'll be one month till my birthday comes...hee hee..and i couldn't help myself but to make a birthday wish list (this will never get old) .  there's so much more, but these are at the top...
