Year End Family Sunday at HCJC - Dec. 26
December 26, was our Year End Thanksgiving service and Family Sunday in church. I wish I started this blog three days ago so I could have posted a separate blog post about the Family Sunday. Don't listen to me...just view the pics. ;)
Ongka Family and Sis. Jhoy
With Miralles Family
HCJC Music Team
There are so many pics of this event. I'm just too lazy to post them. I have pics with more families than you can imagine, and even lots of pics of me playing the piano (you'll get tired of it). Let me say that the whole-day affair was succesful in the sense that God honored it with His presence. And of course, everyone went home with full stomachs..and large intestines...and probably full toilets too, but that's beside the point. ;)
Wedding Gig With Sheena Rios - Dec. 28
I've had the privilege to play piano on the wedding of Sheena Rios' friend and co-teacher on Tuesday the 28th. This was held in Chattel Elysse in Bicutan. Finally after a whole month of practice, we were able to pull it off (in fact, it was just three days of practice..spread four weeks apart..lol). Sheena and my brother Charis sang there. Anyway, I was glad to see the bride and groom happy on their wedding, even if I just met them that day. Pics again:
Sis. Janette Ong's Birthday / Final Wednesday Service Of The Year - Dec. 29
It was a funny though slightly embarassing story. Our friend, Janette Ong, invited us to a lunch treat for her birthday a few days ago. I was sure to come, but when I woke up on the morning of Dec. 29, I thought it was only Dec. 28. In short, nakalimutan kong may lunch pala nung araw na yun. I thought bukas pa. hahaha. After receiving bunches of text messages from them, I finally realized my error and "took courage" to catch up with them. So here, happy birthday to our friend, Janet (wearing yellow below, not the baby): Sorry for being late! lol. Here's a pic of us at Mr. Kabab in West Ave. : (don't ask what time I arrived..lol)
After this we went straight to our choir practice at 5 pm. I'll post a video of our choir practice soon. It was such an uplifting practice session for the entire worship team. The service that followed afterwards was a blast as well. We had a mighty move of God, and it was such a great way to end the year (the final Wednesday church service of 2010).
All in all, I'm thankful for having many people around me, lots of blessings, and lots of opportunities that God has given. As I slowly see the curtain closing on the year 2010, I counted my blessings...and FAILED! Because God's blessings are countless!
And let me add, I've had five straight days of overflowing FREE FOOD. Imagine that. That's why holidays like these are so cool. ;)
