Jesus Calms a Storm

He woke up, rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Quiet! Be still!" The wind ceased and there was great calm. Then he asked them, "Why are you terrified? Do you not yet have faith?"
They were filled with great awe and said to one another, "Who then is this whom even wind and sea obey?"
They were filled with great awe and said to one another, "Who then is this whom even wind and sea obey?"

Cool Sandals


I bought two pairs of sandals recently from this shop . And I found these so comfortable to walk around and classy to wear for work. These are reasonably priced as well ! I'll buy a couple more next weekend.

Solemnity of the Most Blessed Trinity
Then Jesus approached and said to them, "All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age."Matthew 20: 18-20

Safely Home

I am home in Heaven, dear ones; Oh, so happy and so bright! There is perfect joy and beauty In this everlasting light.
All the pain and grief is over, Every restless tossing passed; I am now at peace forever, Safely home in Heaven at last.
Did you wonder I so calmly Trod the valley of the shade? Oh! but Jesus' arm to lean on, Could I have one doubt or dread?
Then you must not grieve so sorely, For I love you dearly still; Try to look beyond earth's shadows, Pray to trust our Father's Will.
There is work still waiting for you, So you must not idly stand; Do it now, while life remaineth--You shall rest in Jesus' land.
When that work is all completed, He will gently call you Home; Oh, the rapture of that meeting,Oh, the joy to see you come!
In loving memory of my mom, Esperanza who joined her creator on October, 2008

Pentecost Sunday

Breathe in me O Holy Spirit that my thoughts may all be holy;
Act in me O Holy Spirit that my works, too, may be holy;
Draw my heart O Holy Spirit that I love but what is holy;
Strengthen me O Holy Spirit to defend that is holy;
Guard me then O Holy Spirit that I always may be holy.
St. Augustine of Hippo (AD 354-430)

Weekend Trip to the Forest
Our destination approaches. We took an unplanned nature trip after mass today for a change of environment. Forest and waterfalls were good choices. Wednesday, May 13, 2009
Trip to the Mangrove Forest
This afternoon, we took a trip to a mangrove forest in the province of Samutsakhon. It was good to take a walk, the weather was sunny, but not so hot because of the rains. The experience proved to be educational and interesting to JM as this is first trip ever to a mangrove forest. The sign above tells us that the place is not only for educational purpose but for recreation as well. Materials about mangrove forests are available in this government office.
Not so far from the office, I found seedlings of mangrove trees planted in a nearby pond of salt water.
JM poses in front of the Mangrove Office Learning and Development Center.
The mangrove forest
We found the inland waters dry because of low tide, but mangrove trees grow abundantly on the seashore. Crabs with a variety of metallic colors came out of the holes they dug on the mud. Mudskippers also abound the nearly dried mud. And yes, flies abound this forest and they bite.JM and dad heading back to the mudtrail.

Orchids Plant Shopping
We went to this orchid farm and supermarket today to shop for orchid plants.
While looking around for new orchid plants, we noticed this beautiful orchid garden located adjacent to the supermarket. JM obliged to pose in several spots of the garden for souvenir photos.
He loved this spot with garden furnitures !
We took home the sweet pink Burana Pearl dendrobium (topmost orchid photo) and the classic dendrobium Sonia (photo above).

Old Church, New Church
One of the places we dropped by during our visit to Chacheongsao, Thailand is a centuries old church called Saint Paul's Catholic Church. What was left of the church was its facade because the entire structure was demolished. The reason why it was demolished will forever be a mystery to me because the history of the church was written in Thai and I always have a problem reading Thai. Photo above shows my son JM making faces while I took a photo of the facade of the church.Tuesday, April 21, 2009
City Fort

During last Sunday's trip to Chachoengsao we passed by a place called Chachoengsao City Fort which was built during the reign of King Rama III to protect the city against enemies. During the reign of King Rama V, the fort was used against Chinese opium traders. The front of the fort was developed to a park to enable tourists to get a better view of the Bang Pakong River. At the back of the wall are canons ,which are remnants of the past.
