Cebu Apas Basketball Team

These pictures were taken during our stake basketball friendly game (February 2009). I've posted these things for documentary purposes which I know it will be preserved for some reasons. The name of the team is Apas because we are called after the name of our ward "Apas Ward". The game was held at the old chapel in Salinas Dr, Cebu City, Philippines. 

List of names from left to right - Noel Canada, Bishop Dennis Dan Nunez, Bro Kingi, Randulf Pagaran, - , (me) Rosendo Cuyasen Jr. The little boy in the center is Henry Nunez, first born son of Bishop Dennis Dan Nunez.

This is the same picture above but the daughter of Noel (Shine-shine Canada) and the son of Randolf Pagaran who is Don Rolph Pagaran.

We didn't win the tournament but we have enjoyed our games and our friendships. This is a memorable experience in my life to play with my good friends and have fun.. 

Cebu Christmas Season Celebration for my Family

I often wonder about what we will do during this month of December because as I was contemplating what I had done during the past busy months, my time was mostly spent on my work and I realized that I've done lots of extra work from my job and business. I know working hard would lead us to better opportunities but I need to balance everything so that I can spend more time with my family.

Finally the month of December came and it was time for me to contemplate what should I do to my family so that we could feel a better and meaningful month. My wife and I planned together because it is Christmas and it is our sixth year anniversary. Initially, we planned to go to Bohol. I was excited about this plan to celebrate our wedding anniversary and Christmas. We've tried to make this plan possible by working hard so that we can have sufficient funds during our forthcoming anniversary.  I will be putting some updates about our success with our plan.

Another thing I would like to emphasize on this blog post is that I'm so much happy because I've watched the beautiful message from our first presidency which they called the "First Presidency Christmas Devotional: Preparing Our Hearts for Christmas". My heart rejoiced because I had felt something different because I've realized the true meaning of Christmas.

In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints we are truly blessed because we have living prophets to guide us and teach us what we should do these latter days. That is why I called this to be the "Cebu Christmas Season Celebration for my Family" so that I could easily remember.
