The USHERS

More than 80 ushers attended the training day, to remind us of our calling and upgrade our services to the flock of God. It was fun and very educative. We get to know more new ushers in that day during fellowship time, parlor games and in table sharing during our meals. I gained more friends. After lunch we went to the main auditorium to prepare ourselves for the incoming live concert next week, Sept 23, 24 and 25. All seats are taken, i heard that more parking areas are ready for those days. 


Me and my friends, 6 bikers with 8 riders are coming in Sunday after lunch for the 3pm concert. We are praying for them that they will surely come and be blessed and inspired and get excited because they get to know their savior. 
PRAISES BE UNTO THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY 

MY FRIENDS @ Bolinao, Pangasinan

 The BOLINAO EXPERIENCE. It took us 10hrs 30mins to reach the town proper of Bolinao, Pangasinan. We left Meycauyan, Bulacan  at 4AM and we were there at about 3pm same day. After Tarlac City, roads were straight where both ends meet together. Cemented, not much vehicles and because of that I was able to make full throttle of my Honda Wave 100 and I was
surprised to have a 105kph speed that time. It was fast, I was thrilled to have that speed but nervous compelled me to reduce it to 80kph. My companion drove a Honda Wave 125 and left me for awhile. That was okay since the road offers anyone high speed. We were in that speed in the span of not little less or more than 100 kilometers none stop. That beautiful beach house became our place to stay, rest, sleep, wash and eat but the best were the views and the beaches. I became so in love with the place, even up to this very moment I dream of building a rest house one day and bring my family there for them to experience its beauty and feel the sensation of wanting to stay there. No traffic, big market place full of fresh sea foods, you will feel the sea breeze touching your skin with its gentleness, no pollution, you can ponder upon your best memories in your life and no one will disturb you. I can give so many adjectives to show anyone how beautiful the place is.

    It is a place where you can recharge yourself of physical and spiritual strength. At night, the sounds of the waves turn into music as it approaches and touches the sands of the beach. These will make you feel so at ease and start to dream dreams you never had. I am saying these by experience. I never regret going there.
 

Everything was free fuel, food, lodging. I never pulled a coin out my pocket for the entire duration the trip or stay in Bolinao.  Our experience was quite incomparable.
          

          My only wish is for you to experience the same. I thank the Lord God Almighty for the blessing He has given. All praises are yours oh Lord.

 









Truly I was amazed about the favor of our God, His grace, His faithfulness to all of His children. He brought me here and I thank Him so much for what he has done. This place became so memorable to me.





God is so good all the time...

TYPHOON and FLOODS

                FLOODED streets during rainy days even in light rain experiences are very annoying already... in this street, Lias Lambakin Road, Marilao, Bulacan. I believe its the area's life style already. There are three Barangays that are involve or we can say Brgys that claim ownership of the street Brgy Ibayo, Bgry Saog and Brgy Lias. Flood waters only pass thru Lias and Saog but Ibayo is the last area the flood waters goes into before Marilao River. It serves as the basin.


             This year's experience is extraordinary compared to last year records, For just a few minutes of rain this street will be likes this.
I pray to the Lord that Saog and Ibayo Bgy Chairmen will be moved to clean up the side street covered canals from here to the river passing MacArthur Highway. During that day, that highway was unpassable even to trailer trucks.  SM Marilao was not accessible to people.


Situations are not getting better but getting worst. Not only in the local news but in the international news as well, we can hear and see places devastated by floods. These events reminded me of what I read long ago, from a popular book, that the world is not going to be better but it is going to be worst. I believe this is just the start and if it is then the end will be unbelievable. I wonder what is in that ENDing will look like. if this is the kind of world we have now, famine there but floods here, wars there and rumors of war nearby, earthquakes here and there, human behavior has drastically changed. How much more in the end of times, will I survive? Opsss, I don't have to ask me that because I might be gone in those days. It is beyond my thinking what it will be like for my three sons and to my grand children. How about you? Have you given that a time to ponder upon or think about it? I can suggest a few of what to do...

MY FRIENDS @ Baguio City and Infanta

BAGUIO CITY TRIP. This was our first trip  as a group, no uniform, no name but has the same dream and that is to travel together as a family caring for each other. Discover places and enjoy whatever  it can offer. Find new friends and bring home memories in pictures. We were seven bikers that time, yes it was too difficult to travel that way, back pain, hotness of the sun, dirt and many more. The feeling of accomplishment in going to places in bikes is something you will never have when you travel by cars. It is so different. The feeling of fulfillment is priceless. We travel slow, 232 kilometers in seven hrs with 3 major stops with a maximum speed of 80kph. We arrived in Baguio close to lunch time. It was a wonderful experience. Be a friend of SRC STRAIDER RIDERS @Facebook and you will see the pictures and few video clips of our four adventures. It was for only php150 per head to get an overnight sleep.
                                                      
It was my third time to go up Baguio by my mini bike... It was a very wonderful experience.




INFANTA ADVENTURE. was so challenging due to its curves. So many indeed, just made a turn but you are now making another turn. Some called it snake road. This was in the Pililla Mts. we were on top of it. then comes the mountains of the Province of Real, Quezon. So many curves again. When will these curves will stop? I asked myself, but it was fun real fun indeed

and the four of us were so thrilled going to Infanta. It was my first time to feel the pavement without the sliders and doing it by a minibike. Terrible but enjoyable...

We were in four bikes when we went to Infanta, Quezon. It was so exciting, enjoyable and fun.

MY FRIENDS @ Zambales and Aurora

ZAMBALES TRIP.  A two day trip for an overnight swimming and it was rewarding for the beaches, just beyond the Zambales Air Port, are just loveable. Clear open sea waters.
It was an experience all of us can't forget. night swimming was the moment of truth to some.

We left Marilao, Bulacan early morning of about 4:30 and arrived Brgy. Amungan, Zambales before lunch. We had two rest spots of 15mins rest period each. It was a great experience indeed.

AURORA PROVINCE trip. we were going to Dingalan beaches that day to swim in open sea waters then proceed to the Dupinga River, after lunch, to wash off salt waters.

Dupinga River 
        Dingalan Beach



We arrived Dingalan, Aurora at about 9am that day. Although we had so many rest stops during the travel. To take pictures, eat, others to rest and me to check my motorbike for defects. We were able to have two swimming sites in that day. Morning was at the beach of Dingalan, Aurora and in the afternoon 'till before nightfall, at Dupinga River in Gabaldon, Nueva Ecija. Drivers were so tired that resulted to a 40 to 60kph speed only. We are at our hometown that early evening. Nice experience...

MY FAMILY

      Life is full of surprises, yes it is true, it comes in different ways. When I ponder of the memories I have experienced with my three sons in their younger age, it always bring happiness in me, countless happiness of course. Those precious seconds spent together were irreplaceable. The giggles we had, the goose bumps I had, those are just a few. You have to be a father to experience those. There are not enough words that could express how precious they are to me. I am proud of them.

     Their mother is the most wonderful person happened in my life, the best wife and the best mother of our children. I thank God she stayed faithful to our love for each other. I am lucky having her.

We go to Cathedral of Praise in Manila every Sunday. I am one of the ushers in the 7 AM Sunday service of COP. My kids goes to COP every Sunday afternoon.




         I AM PROUD TO HAVE MY MOST BEAUTIFUL WIFE... in the WORLD
