GOD BLESS AMERICA
The tone of political discussion in America has a certain flow to it. It's been this way since our founding. We are at a point in history where the tone of our dialogue has hit a harsh and negative flow. Such a time calls for a leader with the right touch. Mike Huckabee has the right touch!
I fear that many are willing to exchange a politician who has firm resolve for a wishy washy person who will leave us feeling good, but also will leave our nation in disorder in the end.
Mike Huckabee has the right touch for America. Mike Huckabee is firm in his views and beliefs, but he is not divisive. Anyone could see this from his reply during the debate when they asked him about his religious beliefs.
Some Democrats talk about not using faith to divide America. Mike Huckabee is an actual politician who has not used his faith to divide us. Mike knows where he stands, but he gives you freedom to stand where you choose.
This is the kind of leader we need in America now.
Vote Mike Huckabee in 2008.
holiday means to me
What The Holidays Mean to You |
For you, the holidays are about generosity. You give as much as you possibly can to friends, family, and charity. You celebrate the holidays in a natural style. Homemade gifts are your favorite, and you can't stand imitation Christmas trees or wreaths During the holidays, you feel happily busy. There's so much do to and not a lot of time to do it. But you enjoy every minute of your holiday chores. You think the holidays should be nostalgic and sweet. The holidays bring out your inner child. Your favorite holiday memories strongly evoke your senses. You are vividly aware of all the tastes, smells, and sounds of the holidays. |

Thanks mommyjen....
Thumbs up for AWESOME mom's....
You Will Be a Cool Parent |
You seem to naturally know a lot about parenting, and you know what kids need. You can tell when it's time to let kids off the hook, and when it's time to lay down the law. While your parenting is modern and hip, it's not over the top. You know that there's nothing cool about a parent who acts like a teenager... or a drill sergeant! |

tradition continues...
"our ornament this year"
It has been a tradition at the brooks family to have ornaments every year, since hubby was born and turned 1 year old, he had an ornament already, so as his siblings, so every year they got to pick an ornament which mom always prepare, now that Jacob is married mom got us a penguin sitting on a ring,as you can see...
its a fun way to make memories in christmas, surely this tradition will be in our family too
no wonder

am i?
honestly...im very reliable and honest..naks nagbuhat ng sariling bangko
but thanks to jenny, who see me as like that, i actually ask hubby if im really a true blue person and he said yeah baby, i ask him in the very verge of his footbal video game so he will say YES...kinda brialliant idea ha...well he mean it naman..
my star sign
Lets101 Quizzes - Fun Quizzes
i actually snagged this one from jenny's page, im kind curious about my star sign.
GOD revealed himself to us..
i woke up expecting to have the whole day with pure fun with hubby, but end up being cranky because of his relaxation time, i mean his relaxation time is playing football with his brother that turns out a 2 and half hour session, then when he called me saying im done, ill be home in a minute, My response is,
yeah, you should be done now, it took you 2 and half hours, i timed you Mr. Brooks!
But, still came home happy giving me a smile that just take my crankiness away..whew, and now we have to plan our day together, we actually agreed that maybe we could go christmas shopping for the family, but just before we left the house he ruined my shopping mood already, simply by telling me, i dont wanna do something today, im not in a shopping mood, but then he take it back by simply saying, but ill be your driver, we went to get some gift cards from texas road house and eat some burito at chipotle and got some giftcards too for our g-pa & g-ma its the time of the year that they got to try something new.
We rushed to shop something for the birthday girl jessica at kohls, but have to call jenny for the size, its a funny convos with jenny, hearing myself say something funny..hahaha, but thanks that my mouth slips that time, coz im actually in a bad mood already, since i saw hubby sitting in the corner, imagine in the floor near the wall, and i said, stand up, your embarassing,
and he said,
i told you im not in a shopping mood im tired ( usually he likes to shop thats why i was pissed off)i understand though..he worked very hard but still...arrgggh..
so i told him to wait for me in the car and he did,but im feeling sorry for what i did to him and so i end up my shopping thing. on our way to the parking lot, an old lady ask jacob to help her loading her vacuum cleaner on the trunk and so hubby said YES with a smile, so i smile and said, im blessed to have husband like that...
inside the car,no one said a word, until he told me he lost his wedding band...and im like what? oh oh noooo...but he was hoping its in the house, but, i told him i actually ask you before we leave the house if you have your wedding band with you and you said yeah right? but were still hoping its in the house.
As soon as we arrived the house, we keep on looking but we cant find it, so we called kohls and ask them to lool for the wedding band, but still we wanna make sure, so after we called we went there again, on our way there, hubby joked around and said, "we really like kohls hah" we've been here twice today, (laughing is a good remedy)
We tried our very best to search it at parking lot, we dont get a luck, we were thinking maybe its on the lady's trunk, so we headed to the costumers service at kohls to tell them that we called a while ago for the lost wedding band, and tell them about helping one of the costumer here who bought a hover vacuum cleaner around 4pm, hoping if its her trunk she might call kohls and look for us. still got no luck,
On our way home, hubby said, no one will know that i lost my wedding band ok, even the family, then i said ok, we went home feeling bad, hubby said we have to go mom and dad's for us to decorate the 12 feet tall christmas tree, they have a tradition in their family, each of them has their own ornaments from the time that they were 1 year old, so each year they have one ornament, hubby is 26 already so he has 26 ornaments and mom got us two penguins sitting in a wedding band ( pic's later ) kinda cool huh! just lost a wedding band, but the family doen'st even know about it..so we had fun, despite losing the wedding band..huhuhuhu, we came home around 10:30 and went to bed around 10:40,just before going to bed its our thing together to pray before GOD,
hubby's prayer went something like this!( as far as i can remember),
we thank you for a very good family that im a part of and now michelle can be a part of it, and thank you for a very good wife, help us to be aware ( prayer continues, cant remember it all ) and GOD help us to find the wedding band, whoever got the wedding band, we hoped and pray that they are honest and trustworthy people AMEN,
Just a split of seconds our phone ring around 10:56pm,we dont even recognize the number we dont have it on our buddy list, but i have that thing going on in my mind, that maybe its the answer of what weve prayed for, on the other line is a lady and she said, is this jacob brooks? and hubby said yes, the lady said we just found your ring and oh my gosh i cant help myself but just shout YES thank you GOD,and we just got soo excited and take our sleepyness away. we just witnessed how powerful the GOD whom we served, hubby said, we need to PRAY, and i prayed and just tahnk GOD for the prayers that he just answered, it is really wonderful...we are in awe of his majesty..
we called kohls again to find out if they were open till midnight, we cant wait to get the ring back, we drove down there again to get the ring and hoping to get the story where did they found the ring, we went to the jewelry section and ask for the ring and ask who found it,
the lady said,
i just got it from the costumer service department, it was taped up there, so i assumed that it was yours, here's your ring
we were like, oh my gosh its purely a GOD THING..no questioned ask, but we just thank GOD for giving us back the ring...
its time to celebrate so we had milkshake and burger at steak N shake...
who said GOD doen'st answer's prayers? he answered OUR's
pretty amazing story to tell people
now we dont have to hide that we lost the ring, we want to give GOD the glory,
so we need to tell the story

a boring day
have to go to an Otolaryngology for them to check up my throat, its been like 4 weeks, since i had this sore in my throat, i hate it, I've been to my doctor thrice, they couldn't figure out whats wrong with my throat thats why they have set up an appoinment for me to an ENT especialist,for them to ultrasound my throat. OH NO!...somethings really wrong..huhuhuhuSo have to wake up early today, but since im feeling grumpy and i dont want to go there by myself, feeling nervous of what will be the outcome of the test, but i already set up my mind if my husband can't take me there, i will cancel my appointment, i know its ridiculous but i prefer to have him by my side, since i feel safe when his with me, but he has to go to work and we thought that he can come home early for the appointment but OH BOY, its turns out he can't take me,My inlaws offer to give me a ride, but i prefer to have my husband on my side, so, i called the office and cancelled my appointment....

let me share this...
3When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for money. 4Peter looked straight at him, as did John. Then Peter said, "Look at us!" 5So the man gave them his attention, expecting to get something from them.
6Then Peter said, "Silver or gold I do not have, but what I have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk."
Sometimes we are like the crippled beggar, we ask for money coz and we aimed for the alms. we tend to view GOD also as a vending machine, if we like to get coke,we put the coins in and get what we want, if the vending machine doen'st work properly we get frustrated, the beggar wants money from peter and john, but john and peter did not give him what he wanted/expected. they give him more than what he ask for. so many times in our lives we ask GOD to give us something and when we dont recieve the specific thing that we ask from him we tend to think that he did not hear our plea, we need to check our motives first when we ask for something and rejoice while waiting patiently for the answers of our prayers, HE answers our prayers, all we need to do is wait and trust in him, remember the answers may not be the answers that we want,but know that he give us the answers that he knows whats best for us..

my world,my family just got expanded..
tropics of the Philippines but
now face the daily weather change of the midwest U.S. I am a woman of many words, speaking both major Filipino dialects
(Tagalog and Bisaya) along with
impeccable english and a hint of Japanese,Maybe tomorrow I will learn some Russian, Arabic, or Swahili.No not really, I am actually a well
grounded humble Christian woman who loves to live my faith following Christ.I thank Him alone, my Creator,for all my talents
including my linguistics
skills. I am very much a happily married woman, and for the most part I delight in my new life here in America along with my
handsome young husband
I have dabbled in the personal blogosphere in the past, but now I am extremely excited to make a daily home on this blog of
mine. I want to put
a little bit of everything here, my thoughts, my experiences, and maybe even some great advice about being a Filipina-
American, and what life is like for me
facing this American experience which is sooo far from my home.However, Ohio is truly my second home, I realize something
new everyday.My first day in
America I realized what it feels like to start to freeze. When I stepped off that international flight in Detroit in early February it was
co0-ld yet I
loved it, I love the adventure my life has become. Marriage too is quite the adventure. I am a tender spirit yet at the same time I am a
survivor, my name is
Michelle Brooks and this is my blog.
