We finally got a ticket for the Every Nation 2010 World Conference (EN2010). It only happens once every three years, so we can’t miss this event no matter what. EN2010 is a time when pastors, missionaries, church planters, members from all around the world gather together for a time of powerful worship and fellowship! It’s gonna be one amazing event!
The Philippine Registration started today at 12 NN. I guess Ticket World did not anticipate such a huge number of participants that’s why their system crashed for a few hours. I tried registering online and by phone, but to no avail. It’s a good thing my husband also went to National Bookstore to grab a ticket. It took us more than three hours waiting for our turn (the line was too long + system outage), but who cares? It was worth the wait!
We already have the ticket on the first day of registration. Thank God!
It’s my first time to join in this kind of event, so you can just imagine how excited and thrilled I am now.
To those attending, see you all on July 22-24 at SMX!
Blessed Sunday #4: A little distracted

I have a confession to make.
I got a little distracted during the service a while ago. I tried to keep my focus on what Pastor Paolo’s teaching us about God and Government, but deep inside the movie fan in me kept screaming wildly. And why not?! Piolo Pascual was sitting behind us! And not only that, he was with Mark Bautista, Christian Bautista, Erik Santos, Jeffrey Hidalgo and other non-showbiz people. Then a few minutes later, KC Concepcion arrived and sat next to us. And just when I was trying to REALLY focus on that day’s message, Ruffa Gutierrez walked in and sat one row apart from us where her friend Miriam Quiambao was waiting. What a star-studded Sunday we had, eh? I felt like my heart was going to burst out of my chest! LOL.
I tried to keep my sanity intact and succeeded on hiding my excitement — that is if you’re taking it from other people’s perspective.
But who am I fooling?
I might have fooled the people around me but I could never fool myself, could I? After all, it’s not everyday that you get to sit next to a hoard of celebrity. I knew I got a little distracted. And for a second I almost forgot why I was in church in the first place: to worship God and to thank Him for all the blessings he’s given me. We’ve been regularly attending Sunday services at Victory Fort for quite a while now and I am used to seeing one or two celebrities after the service, which is perfectly fine. But to actually be surrounded by quite a number of celebrities during the service is another story. Talk about major distraction! LOL.
Oh well…if this has been a test, then I must have failed miserably. God, forgive me!
Blessed Sunday #3: Happy Valentine’s Day!

Valentine’s Day never fails to remind me of the day we promised to love, cherish and respect one another for the rest of our lives. I still remember quite vividly how we brought everyone to tears (ourselves included) when we had our emotional exchange of vows. It wasn’t a grand wedding, yet it was a day filled with true love that made it really special.
Here are some of my favorite shots.
The much-awaited kiss
At the wedding reception
Now this is us six years later…
Happily married and blessed with two little angels.
As you can see, nothing has changed very much — except that we both gained weight. 
Happy Valentine’s Day!!!
We spent Valentine’s Day just like a regular Sunday. We rested during the day, went to church in the afternoon and had dinner at the mall. It’s our regular Sunday routine. Nothing exta-ordinary. Because when I’m with my family, every day is Valentine’s Day!
Off to snoozeland!

These pictures were taken three days ago before we slept. Kuya Greggy loves hugging and kissing his baby sister. But needless to say, my little girl doesn’t like it very much. She cried and screamed at the top of her lungs a few minutes later. LOL.
Oh I love taking pictures of them! I Thank God everyday for giving me such wonderful blessings!
Baby Ayesha: Let me go, kuya! I want to sleep now.
Where’s Ayesha? She covered her face so she could sleep.
But Kuya Greggy kept forcing her to smile and look at the camera.
Baby Ayesha got really pissed and started screaming! LOL.
Avent BPA free bottles leak like crazy!

I am a huge fan of Avent bottles.
I tried the other brands when Greggy was born four years ago, but they’re nothing compared to Avent. Yes, the designs are cuter and the price is much cheaper. But quality-wise, Avent stands out among all the other feeding bottles I’ve tried. My baby boy became less colicky and I had no problems with leaks. I was very satisfied. Feeding bottles are something that every parent should invest on. After all, it’s for our baby’s sake. So I made a decision not to buy any other brands ever again no matter how cute and cheap they are. That’s how loyal I can be.
To cut the long story short, I recently bought Avent bottles for my new baby. And this time, I bought the BPA (Bisphenol A) free ones. Let me tell you that the price of these BPA free bottles are twice the price of the regular airflex ones. Since I had so much faith in this product, I didn’t have second thoughts even if it was unbelievably overpriced. I bought the BPA-free Infant Starter Set that comes with four feeding bottles, a brush and a milk dispenser. I wanted to test if these bottles were better than the regular ones. And if they’re really better, I’d buy more. Only to find out later on that I made the biggest mistake of my life!
The BPA-free bottles are the ones with the honey-colored tint
Well, it turned out that Avent BPA free bottles leak like crazy. All of them leak from the very first day my baby girl started using them. It’s so annoying that I still have to unscrew and tighten the plastic ring in the middle of the night (while the baby is screaming miserably) so it won’t leak . But sometimes it still leaks no matter what I do. And if I twist the plastic ring too tight, the milk hardly comes out of the nipple and my little girl ends up screaming even more. Now which is more annoying? The leaky bottle, the baby getting drenched with milk every feeding time or a husband screaming at your back saying that you shouldn’t have purchased these BPA free bottles in the first place? You tell me.
Since I had invested so much money on this Infant Starter Set, I didn’t want to throw them away and start over, so I did a little research and came across this blog. It turned out that I’m not the only one complaining about leaks. I was even more surprised to find out that it’s a known issue and that Avent had recalled these leaky BPA-free bottles already due to poor design. Anyway, I followed the solution stated on this blog. I aligned the nipple with at least two of the air valves within the fins before putting the whole thing together, but the trick didn’t work for me. I’m glad it worked for some people though.
I’ve already accepted the fact that I wasted my hard-earned money on a piece of junk. As a matter of fact, the bottles are now placed in the cabinet as souvenirs of my being stupid. LOL.
Despite this, I still bought six new Avent airflex bottles and I am happy with all of them. No more leaks. No more wet baby. No more hassle in the middle of the night. No more screaming husband. LOL.
Buh-bye, Avent BPA-free bottles. You’ll be remembered for as long as I live. My pocket still hurts. But since my husband and I work really hard, we’ll surely get ten times more of what we had lost.
