Our Little Kirsten Amber

"For this child I prayed, and the Lord has granted me my petition I made to Him"
1 Samuel 1:27

Our bundle of joy will be on her 4th month on Monday, July 27th :) How time flies.. she can now roll over and do some mini pushups - very active and tough little bubbly girl. I remember how we intently prayed and waited for her arrival, the frustrations and the waiting game - and how beautiful that day was the moment I took a glimpse of that epic two red lines :D

Kirsten Amber Tive-Lana you truly are a gift from God. I might sometimes forget - but take it upon yourself to remind papa and mama that there can never be another you in our lives, that there can only be one almost-always-whimpering and almost-always-barfing but source of ultimate joy "batenten" there can ever be. I pray to God that He'll give us the strength and wisdom to guide you as you grow in love, kindness, humility, patience and all the virtues there is.

Constantly remind us to thank God for the life we have - for it is indeed good. We have families and friends who stood by us - who were always there, who looked after you from Day 1 when your mama was cut up and your papa was dead tired and sleeping like a log :p Love your grandmommies and granddaddies - they are our forever source of strength - if not financially ;) hihi.. love your titas and titos as you are left with their always open and loving arms when papa and mama are not around working to buy you lotsa diapers to poop and milk to throw up - suka pa more! :D Thank you for coming into our lives little "batenten." Let's start making wonderful memories :D

my favorite books

Thursday, March 1, 2007

Back in highschool, I had this particular... uhm... fondness(?) with the works of Christopher Pike, which real name is Kevin Christopher McFadden. Up to now, I still don't know anything about this writer.
Well, it was my cousin Ging who introduced me to the world of reading gory, mystery, supernatural, thriller, spine-chilling and the likes literatures - thanks to you cuz for the sleepless nights and wild imagination I now have, nevertheless - I love you! Anyway, I just want her to know that - and one more! I miss her, I always do kahit we're not that super connect now. Hehehe... we'll work on that someday. We should.
Back to my topic. I have surfed the net about him just recently but still nothing come out of him Well, I really haven't made an effort to reach or even write him a letter anyway so maybe that's why I never had an inkling about him - yeah, right! Maybe I should! asus, nano man ko man?! Question is, will he write back? The man's a millionaire with lots of grammars, punctuations, subjects, predicates, verbs, nouns, adverbs, adjectives, etc. going about in his head for another book. He might be busy. Hehehe... here I am talking to myself - because no one would talk to me - not even my beh because he don't know a thing about him or even interested in reading one.
If anyone can read this and know something about this writer, could you please prove his existence?! hehehe... joke!
Books I've read that of C. Pike's: bury me deep, die softly, eternal enemy, fall into darkness, gimme a kiss, the immortal, last act, the lost mind, monster, road to nowhere, scavenger's hunt, sati, see you later, spellbound, the star group, the starlight crystal, whisper of death, the wicked heart, witch, the final friends trilogy (courtesy of ewa, my busmate and classmate for a while) and finally, remember me and the midnight club as my favorites.
Actually, I've read these all so long ago and would like to read it all again to see if my preferences or what I think about his books change. I am now for Dean Koontz, Patricia Cornwell, Harlan Coben, uhm... I also read romantic novel like that of Danielle Steele and the likes.
Lastly, the book that everyone should read is the book of the Bible. Oh no, I don't want to sound so goody goody here or anything 'coz I'm not. Honestly, I've read the whole book the first time and just remember things like that of the stories of Moses, Joseph, David, Solomon, when Jesus was born and risen, and some important points I apply in my life. It really has interesting stories to tell and teach to all of us. God is the greatest author of all, anyway. He is the author of the whole wide universe. The author of our faith.
