Cebu Chinese School Graduation 2012

In this summer I'm glad to write what had happen with my daughter (Elaizah Kim) graduation in Small Wonders Academic School. This is her first time to go to school and was enrolled for Kinder I. Now during her school year the teacher was amazed because of the talent and abilities of this young little girl of ours. But deep inside my mind I know my daughter is good because of the foundation she got from his parents and our belief. She was awarded third honor.

Supposedly my daughter would not graduate this year because she still need to take another year for her kindergarten. But according to her teachers and principal she will be accelerated and she need to take a summer class and be enrolled for the school year 2012-2013 as grade I. This is a surprised with us as parents. It is really a worthwhile effort especially for my wife because of her care, guidance and love for our daughter. Thanks to her..

Here are the pictures for her graduation.

These are the pictures that I had taken during her graduation. Thank you for all the teachers and parents who sacrifice their time and talents to teach these young ones.

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.

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.

This week I have a memorable and coolest experience I've ever done. This was held in our unique Chapel, I called it unique because this chapel was a part of the Cebu temple ground.

This is the story behind this activity... The young women president who is my wife and the young men president (Bro. Dean) together with their counselors planned to have a fine dining with the youth. It took few weeks to plan and prepare this activity. After it was planned, budget and schedules were set. It didn't take much money to do this because of the kind considerations of our brothers and sisters especially Divyne and Dean. I don't want to list them down here because I don't want to take more of your time reading. Probably you can just put a comment on this simple article if you want to add. Another thing that I would like to emphasize is that the youth leaders requested us, the Bishopric (Bishop Dan, Larry, Clifford and me),to be their waiters for the night. We were so exited because it was our first time to do this for the youth. You might see the picture below.

For us this was fun, we have served the youth the best we can.

This activity was cool and fun and I'm titling this activity to be the coolest "

Cebu Fine Dining for the Youth

" ever.

Cebu Anastasia - Enchanted - Hercules - Photo Shots

One of the great events we had during our Halloween Celebration this 2011 was our Ward Activity entitled "Happily Ever After". We wore costumes from the casts of the movies like Anastasia, Hercules, Beauty and the Beast, and Enchanted. Each auxiliary had showcased their individual talents through their presentations. Everyone enjoyed the fun, the food and especially the treats (candies and other goodies).  But before we proceeded to the main program, the primary had a great time doing the trunk and treat outside the chapel. The primary had enjoyed collecting candies and sweets, making them more hyperactive! (Parents, just make sure that you brushed the teeth of your little ones to avoid tooth decay...) We too enjoyed this activity because of the fun and happiness we had experienced.

The two couple missionaries who were a part of our ward, Elder and Sister Bailey. They are the missionaries from the Cebu Mission. They started to come to our ward last Aug 2010.

Sisters of our ward who did such amazing things. That's why the activity was successful.

My lovely daughter who wore a purple dress with a crown..

Cebu Wedding and Photo shots

We have attended a wedding ceremony of Dingdong and Bambi and these are the photo shots we've had during that event.

Me, my wife and my daugther Elaizah.




My lovely wife and daughter.


Sometimes they fight for some principles. But I'm glad that I'm the referee..



This picture was taken to a different wedding celebration in the temple. They were married in civil law but afterward married in Cebu City Temple for time and for all eternity. Their family name is Salinguhay. One of true best friend.

But this time I will continue my story line in this post.

Anyway I would Hope that my daughter when she will be on the right age to marry. She will find a young man who would bring her to the temple.




Last of all I hope that she will never be alone and be lonely.. Greater happiness is only attained if you have partner that you can bring to eternities.
