say a little prayer for you.

Times are hard for a lot of people right now. I can think of a number of friends and families that are hurting, but eventually, i know it will get better. or I hope it does.

I'm still really grateful for my job. It came at the right time and right place. It was never in my plan, but I owe it all to God for giving me this. Not only has He given me a great job, He's given great people to be around with. My friends & family here have been great supporters. Other then my job, I just been working out to stay fit. Thats pretty much the story of my life.

Anyways, when i took this picture of my candle, it made me think of people who need prayer. i think of my mom and her family who are dealing with the loss of their brother. i think of all the college kids missing home and striving to make the best of it. i think of all the unemployed looking for a living. i think of all those who are sick battling for a cure. i think of all the soldiers fighting for our protection and freedom. i think of those who are lost and need to find a way. i think of all the Christians trying to make it in this world. and i think of all those who just need prayer whether they have any problems or without.

so today, i am praying for you.

Nolan & mom

Happy Birthday, Nolan! :)


Heres my little cheeser! His grandparents and Auntie ShaSha threw him a pool party for his second birthday. He invited most of his playmates and other family friends. Anyways, Nolan is terrified of the pool so we thought maybe his friends could influence him, but i guess we thought wrong. he ended up crying the whole time in the pool. but overall it was a great birthday party! obviously the best part of the birthday was all the BASKETBALL and ball games he got to play.

in other news, i would like to ask if you could pray for my mom. she is in the Philippines at the moment getting some test done for her health. for about a month, she has been suffering pain on the left side of her forehead. the pain extends through her left arm quite often. a few days ago, she said a numbness occurred, but luckily, it only lasted for a short while. then two days ago, her whole left side of her body went numb. From medical terms, it could mean she might be having a stroke. i wish i could be with her at the moment, but i cant leave work. thankfully, my brother is with her at the moment.

im worried, but i truly believe God is in control of all of this. A lot of crazy things happened before my mom and brother left, but it all worked out, and just like that showed me how God knows what He is doing. :)

the lone coconut tree.

yesterday, mel & i went to hilton to take some pictures. it was such a beautiful day that we really wanted to make use of it. i really dont like having pictures of myself so i always have mel or someone else be my model. i got some great shots of mel during this photoshoot, but its too bad that that my internet or computer is being SOOO SLOW! hopefully ill have time to upload them later.

anyways, i thought this was a great photo for the day. it was the only coconut tree sitting on its own. but the most beautiful part to it is that it had a view of two lover's point in the background.

life is great for me. i have a good job. plus im babysitting on the side so im getting extra money on hand. and i really have nothing to worry about just yet! :)

does it take SOMEONE to make up or ruin your day?

i have a problem that i have never seemed to get over.. and that problem of mine is that i let pretty much anyone rule over my emotions..

whether it be a real close friend or a total complete stranger, things they do or say have some weird affect on me. i know for a fact that im a people pleaser, but there are times where i really dont care what they say. but today, i let this stranger yell at me in a middle of parking lot, and now its eating me up. i made a mistake in parking at the wrong place at the wrong time, and thats my fault. i thought that the other cars parked there were vehicles related to the place i was going to. but apparently, I WAS WRONG, and the stranger sure put me at my place.

i dont know whether to cry or be angry. but writing it out has relieved me for such a time. im telling myself that he is a stranger and i will not see him again. theres no need to bad mouth him when deep down i really want to.. but it doesnt make it any better.... like i said, im repeating all this in my head... again thats my problem.. im letting someone rule over my emotions, and i cant seem to get over it..

LOVE love babies.

if you already dont know.. this beautiful baby girl is KEIRA.. daughter of NANI & DON. :) she is soo adorable! my friend nani is such a great mom.. im so happy for her n don..

sorry i havent been doing much uploading or any updating. practically my life consists of work, eat and sleep.. and a bit of exercising.. now i need to fit in some social time..

BUSY!! :)

this is the word for the month: BUSY!

i know i havent uploaded anything or even bothered to write.. but because i got myself a full time job, my time is consumed into work or rest. and i even try to fit in some social time with friends.

so much has been going on in the Pacific. Philippines has suffered a major storm that flooded many homes.. Samoa had a treacherous earthquake that caused a tsunami to damage more of their areas. The Marianas are encountering many typhoon watch. There are more i can name.. but its sad to read about it on the news..

anyways, im headed to bed now. hopefully ill post up pictures soon!

LOVING it!

ok SERIOUSLY... GOD IS SOOO GOOD.. it is totally worth being patient!

although i do not have a permanent job at the moment, i do have a temporary job that pays well. and a few side jobs to keep me going. I LOVE THE JOB. The people are really awesome, and I'm just constantly busy doing something.. :)

I have a new side job for the week: i got called in to watch over my friend's grandmother for a week while the whole family leaves for the states. My duties are pretty simple. All i have to do is cook lunch & dinner for the mom, and to sleep at the house at nights.. Everything is provided.. and I'm even getting paid $500 bucks for it! also, they are offering me to use their cars while their away.

while im at work in the daytime.. im getting paid at nighttime! :) i am really really grateful! to being busy is what i really wanted! God knew I needed this.

anyways, sorry for NO PICTURE. :(

NIGHT

there is way too much beauty on this earth. i may not be able to capture it beautifully in camera, but i sure can enjoy it by just spending sometime outdoors. i took this picture when i got home one evening, and realized how gorgeous the moon was within the clouds.



i've really been lazy with photography. i don't have that same desire when i first got my camera.. and i get discourage easily when i see others take WAY better photos than i do.. i dont intend on becoming some professional, but i do want to become really awesome at it. i need to keep learning stuff about it, but i have no time or money to invest in it. hopefully ill be able to know more about it, and LOVE it more than i do now. i really don't like the uploading.. and even the editing.. :(

anyways, first day at my job went super well. i actually LOVED it! i was constantly occupied with work which made the day go by sooo fast! im so grateful! :) its only a temporary job which would last me about 2-3 weeks.. but to have something is undeniably great!

PRETZELS!

ok being back on island is so bad for me! all these foods i keep coming across with is soo tempting! my friend ethan is quite an expert in making some very delightful pretzels! My favorite is the cinnamon kind.. soo yummy!! anyways, i wish i knew how to make them.. :P


also in other news... I GOT A JOB!! or at least its temporary! BUT I GOT A JOB!! :)

MUFFINS!

I've never made muffins before, and this is my first attempt to it. So far it's edible and looks good. Hopefully my sunday school girls will like it. It's chocolate chip. yum! :)

Wedding at Two Lover's Point

let me start with this: I LOST MY CELLPHONE. I don't normally lose things, but when I do, its always gone. I tend to be forgetful though so I guess that doesn't help. I totally got grilled for losing it, but thankfully, I'm getting a better phone in return. My old phone really sucked. It was a matter of time I got rid of it. Believe me, it wasn't purposefully either.

In other news, I did my first wedding photoshoot. Honestly, there wasn't much I could do since the wedding itself was very casual. No bouquet, no entourage, no fancy reception. Family and friends were mostly in jeans. I was basically asked to just take pictures for the spur of the moment. I wish I could have done more, but they didn't expected me to do much.

The wedding was at Two Lover's Point. It was a nice day out, but it was really bright and sunny and extremely hot. It was nice and simple. I'm happy for the newlyweds. :)

Anyways, im stuck editing what needs to be edited. its the only thing i don't enjoy doing very much... ha i also don't like uploading.. :P

well heres a photo of the newlyweds..

BLACK&WHITE

i believe this here is such a precious moment. :)
Baby Gregory Paul Schacher Jr. is the son of Greg & Hermi Schacher.
He is extremely adorable and soo beautiful!

SUN & RAIN

wow.. it has been awhile now that i haven't posted anything new. normally, if i had new pictures to put up, i would add them on my facebook.

anyways, i've been trying to catch a beautiful sunset these past few days.. but everytime i see one, i dont have my camera.. :( but i do have other pics i played along with. hopefully its likeable..

Rain over the hills.

P L U M E R I A S

i havent had a lot of motivation in taking pictures. most of all, i just dont like uploading. GOOD NEWS.. the sun is finally OUT and barely any rain is dropping. ok thats it for now. ill put more pics up later.

omgosh.. for the weekend, i've been stuck indoors. the rain keeps coming. and coming. i dont know when it will stop.. i guess i have to resort to reading a book or watching tv. my mom suggested cleaning... but im not feeling it. :P i would rather take pictures.. its not my best, but i like it.

M A J E S T I C
