My dad found a friend in the midst of the mud.

We let it go after.. But I swear, my dad is like a big kid.

 He was serious about keeping it.

Clean up day!

It was a family effort. We got the street cleaned and better looking. And then reenforcement  came. Huge tractors in a bunch all of a sudden came! They really cleaned up the streets!

A break from the rain! Yay!

The aftermath of the storm left a bunch of mess on our block. Today was the first time I actually got to go outside and drive around the city. It turned out that my block wasn't the worst site. A neighbor on the other culdesac got mud all the way to their garage. and the City was just a mess. We got it good. Thank God for keeping our house and family safe. But today was not the day to clean up because I spent the whole day with Kevin, Thomas, and my sister and my family.

Updates about the storm

I took pictures by the hour-ish.. and the storm got worse.. better.. and....Hopefully not worse!
I'm thankful that both my parents are stuck and safe inside the house. 

My dad found little friends along
 the way of cleaning the driveway.

The weather guy is actually right!

I woke up twice this morning. The first one, I was woken up by my sister at 7 in the morning, to hear water pouring. The second one was an hour later by a neighbor pounding at our front door. Our neighbor, a caring lady, came to tell us that our driveway is flooded with mud and that we should call the city.

So my mom called the city to tell them that the sewage drain under our house is completely full of mud, hence the reason why we're trapped in our own house. This storm is pretty bad... The weather guy was actually right about this morning being the worst of the storm.

I pray safety for everyone!

More than half of our driveway is covered with mud!

An excerpt from Crazy Love

Page 29
' There is an epidemic of spiritual amnesia going around, and none of us is immune. No matter how many fascinating details we learn about God's creation, no matter how many pictures we see of His galaxies, and no matter how many sunsets we watch, we still forget.
...
It may sound "un-Christian" to say that on some mornings I don't feel like loving God, or I just forget to. But I do. In our world, where hundreds of things distract us from God, we have to intentionally and consistently remind ourselves of Him.'

Remembering the meaning behind Christmas...

A date with Dad

Actually.. I wouldn't call it a date.. But my dad sure spoiled my sister and me. We got to watch the new Chronicles of Narnia movie in 3D! Have to say..it's a good movie! My dad even cried (though he didn't admit it). And then after that, he treated us out and took us to eat at the Vietnamese restaurant we always go to. Pho definitely gave me a huge food coma. Chill day.

Ups and Downs

the Downs.. my sister came home from dropping Thomas and Albert off to tell me that our car got splatted by eggs.. Boo.. Luckily we cleaned it up quickly.

The UPs.. A faithful group came out to the Row. We got to pass the a lot of the scarves and blankets left from the SSB (Socks/Scarves/Blanket) drive. I got to eat 5 delicious tacos, got to have midnight tea time with my sister, Thomas, and Albert, while watching Kung Fu Panda, AND got to webcam with Kevin! Despite the downer.. I feel so blessed and grateful. Don't know why I feel so enlightened.. maybe it's because finals are over or because I have amazing people around me..Nah. It's because God is good. (:

Thanks for the donations and prayers!

A.T.I.S.

A.T.I.S. = Alicia, Trisha, Iris, and Sally! Took us a while to think of an acronym that didn't sound awkward. We thought of TIAS ( aunty in Spanish), TISA, SITA.. My favorite.. ISAT. We decided on ATIS.

My future pet!

Bored after Finals..

Kevin not being here + my sister not done with finals = watching Glee by myself & crocheting & baking. I'm such a grandma. :]
