Monsters and friends
December 27th, 2011 
Iris The two aren’t the same, at least in my case. Good for me, yey. I like surprises and so does Mia. When she got this crafts kit from Liee, all glitter broke loose. Thank you, Liee! For a little something different this year, I had these scary-adorable amigurumi monstuuurs made by Liee. I now [...]
Hope and dreams
December 13th, 2011 Iris “I remember my affliction and my wandering…and my soul is downcast within me. Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail.” Lamentations 3:19-23 NIV Hard-core faith means hoping in things unseen, confident that what you hope for [...]
So I’m not cool anymore but at least light shines for me
October 16th, 2011 Iris Morning feeding frenzies, milk spills, weekly baon trips to the grocery, and impromptu Disney live shows. That’s my life now.

August 11th, 2011 Iris Being a single parent is hard. And I don’t even mean I’m-the-mom-and-dad kind of hard, but the i-need-to-’compete’-with-my-parents’-discipline-too kind of hard. When I put quote marks on ‘compete’, I feel like I’m watering down the word, hoping it doesn’t convey the negativity it really has. It’s hard because I’m away 70% of my kid’s waking [...]
An outward expression and going on strike
August 1st, 2011 Iris Outward as well as inward morality helps to form the idea of a true Christian freedom. We are right to lay stress on inwardness, but in this world there is no inwardness without an outward expression. – Meister Eckhart Ah, thought for the day. My consciousness has been plagued by the difference between sins of [...]
Ode to The Creative and waiting at a jeepney stop
July 8th, 2011 Iris [Christians], at their best, know that often they don’t know. They do not have all the answers. They do not have God in their pocket. We cannot answer every question that any bright boy in the back row might ask. We have only light enough to walk by. – Howard A. Johnson —- I’ve always [...]
Stillness and a birthday wish
June 30th, 2011 Iris To know the will of God is the greatest knowledge, to find the will of God is the greatest discovery, and to do the will of God is the greatest achievement. – Author Unknown —- A day’s quiet can do your soul some good. Twittering, FB-ing, and tuning in to Discovery, however educational, cannot. [...]
