What’s for dinner? February 8, 2009
Yash preached at the One Way event of the Forerunners of TFI Pasig. We were done by 8:00 pm and we were soooooooo hungry after that we decided to have dinner at Greenhills before going home. We had burgers and onion rings at Big Brother’s Burger, I would have taken a picture but I was so hungry that I forgot I had my camera with me; I was done by the time I realized it.
We were on our way to Starbucks for coffee when we saw Cheesecake,etc and decided to just have dessert there. I was too full by that time and just took a bite from what Yash ordered.
Yash's Cheesecake
It was good but I still like the one from The Old Spaghetti House better. Anyone know where else can I find good cheesecake?
Welcome dinner February 7, 2009
Last Saturday, the Primemovers (our church’s ministry for young professionals) had a welcome dinner for the incoming Primemovers this year. We had it at Regali Kitchen, somewhere in Tandang Sora (I can’t remember the exact address). It’s actually a house that is converted to a cozy dining area. We had a great time just having fellowship with each other. While we were eating their amazing food, we were also being entertained by songs rendered by Tim and Carlo. We got to meet the Cada family who owned the house and found out that they do this kind of thing about once a month. They call it the Dine and Jam, and the guests get to eat food prepared by the chef (who is one of the sons), and entertained by an in house band.
I really liked the idea that we got to welcome the Forerunners (youth ministry of the church) this way. we’ve been wanting one for a long time now. You see there was always a difficulty in the transition between being a student and a professional. Having connection events like this would help ease the transition.
Anyway, we hope to go back to the venue again, I already know of some people who are planning to book it again for birthdays and such. Here are some pictures from the event.

My Portion and my cup February 3, 2009
5 LORD, you have assigned me my portion and my cup;
you have made my lot secure.6 The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
surely I have a delightful inheritance.
God is just really good. With all the things that have been happening to me, and around me,He never fails to reassure me that I need not worry because no matter what happens, He holds my world in His hands.
Last Sunday, I got to lead worship at church again. When Yash told me the night before, I immediately started thinking about what my line-up would be. Immediately the song Healer came to mind, I’m not really sure why. We’ve never really sung it at church yet, although not really because of the whole scandal involving its composer. I guess it just wasn’t time yet. But last Sunday, God really moved in such a powerful way.
He reminded all of us that in the old days, among the 12 tribes of Israel, the Levites were not given any portion because as God said “I am your Portion”. Grabe noh?! What security! What an assurance! To know that God is our portion! While we were singing the lyrics, it was like we were all making a declaration that despite all the difficulties that we were facing or that we might face, God is our portion and we will never lack. And the best thing was that we weren’t just declaring it over our finances, true, most were probably claiming it as a promise over their finances, but it was more than that. We were declaring it over our families, our jobs, our businesses, our spiritual lives. We declared healing over relationships, and even on our country.
Before singing I shared the above verse to the congregation. This was the verse that God gave me at the beginning of the year. And I’m claiming it everyday. I will not be shaken by what I see or hear or feel, because He’s with me. I will not worry about what tomorrow may bring, because all I know about tomorrow is that He’s got me in His hands =).
