Sweet & Bitter-Sweet November

November is almost over and I would like to note about the happenings in the past few weeks.

The Sweets:
• GMDC Family Day Halloween Party – as early as September, Reese was already looking forward to this event and yes, she was happy about it.

• Hubby’s birthday – spent the day on health check-up, looking for Reese’s new school and the best part, dinner at our favorite new-found resto, Maimee’s in Little Baguio, San Juan.

And the Bitter-Sweets:

• FIL’s open heart surgery – it was a big shock for the family. 15 days after we returned from our vacation in HK, FIL had a continuous heart attack and was rushed to the hospital. He was transferred to Heart Center where the major operation took place. Our prayers were answered, he recovered within 10 days and was able to go home and continue his diet and medication.

• Reese school transfer – the school was home-based and they had a security concern with one family member. The bad guy had a gun and we were told that he was under the influence of drugs. He got caught and was put into jail. But still, we cannot risk having Reese go back to the same school again. So we decided to transfer her to a“big school” in San Juan. Thank God, they accepted her even though it’s already the beginning of the 3rd quarter!

I would like to end my posting here with this quote from a friend priest, it says "Hold on to God no matter how hard the situation is, coz the winner won't be a winner unless he finishes the race... ".  I have faith that God won't give us challenges that we cannot overcome.  He will be there in every step of the way and will never leave at any point in time...
