Thank you again!
I am a child of royal birth.
My Father is King of heaven and earth.
My spirit came from courts on high,
A child beloved, a princess am I.
—Anna Johnson
My destiny is beyond me.
Laid out and called the plan of eternity.
My Mother is a queen of Heaven and earth,
I have a divine birthright, of nobility and greatness.
I am a child of God sent down here,
With earthly parents destined to govern in righteousness.
My Brother showed a shining example on how to live,
Who served us all, sacrificing His life even to death.
And so with all the trials and challenges that besets me,
With all the fears and weaknesses I have everyday,
I am a Child of God,
A Princess from High,
A goddess in the making,
accumulating strength and power and intelligence,
through righteous deeds
and
simple faith
humility
and obedience.

How is she doing? Our little 3 months old baby tot, teething, kicking, sleeping, sucking milk like it will run out the next day, and occasional sigh to breath…
Our princess, from on High.

We have a cat, we named her Pinky, 
Why Pinky? Coz her pinkish tongue would always stick out when she’s asleep…and look at that pinkish nose.
She sleep so soundly by doing this everyday, folding
her arms and even mimicking Mini Me.
And when I cover her face for this photo opt,
she took my hand away, rolling her green brownish eyes
And when I fall asleep,
Shie finds her there! Almost like a baby.
Will there also be cat in heaven? So Sweet, so funny, so naughty,
and yes, so tasking, doing the litter box everyday!
And yet they gave us so much joy doing nothing
but entertain us after the end of a weary day
So, yea, honest question here, will there be cat There?
Share your cat story! Hit the comment!
"The heavens, they are many, and they cannot be numbered unto man; but they are numbered unto me, for they are mine.
And as one earth shall pass away, and the heavens thereof even so shall another come, and there is no end to my works, neither to my words.
For behold, this is my work and my glory, to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man."
The Universe, the one that is only known to man, 40 billion light years in diameter
There might be more,
I believe there is more beyond the reach of our brightest and best telescope man can ever invent.
It is composed of millions, even billions of clusters.
Let us zoom in those bigger lights from above and this is what we will see.
The Nearest Clusters to our Galaxies,
150 Million light years in diameter, and made up of millions of galaxies
Our galaxy and its nearest neighbors, 4 million light years in diameter
Inside this Galaxy is a Milky Way Galaxy, which is 100, 000 light years in diameter.
In this Milky Way, astronomers said is composed of Hundreds of Billions of stars.
The small white above is our Solar System, and it takes sunlight over 5 hours to reach pluto.
12,756 kilometers in diameter, it takes sunlight 8 minutes to reach us.
And That’s You and your loveones. Looking from the Top view, starting from where we came from.
and you are HERE…A Small dot that is not even visible to the natural eye.
If you see anything in you that puff’s you with so much pride, boastfulness and arrogance…
Look closer, and you will find more than enough to make you humble.
Hold On. Hold Fast. Cling Tightly Unshakable Conviction The Sweetest, Sublime Joy Found on Earth and THAT I CREATED ALL THINGS, BOTH IN HEAVEN and EARTH

THE PHOTO TESTIFIES
There is beauty in everything that we do, every goodness that we do.
Let us do good wherever we are, and let that goodness shines within us.
Our lives are reflection of the things we were taught, and the things we learn and are learning.
Let us be faithful whatever faith we belong, whatever religion we subscribe.
In the end, God will not ask us what is the name of our faith, but rather He will ask,
DID YOU LIVE YOUR FAITH?
Beyond the Shadow of Doubt
Deeply Rooted Faith
BELIEVE THAT I AM, 
BELIEVE THAT I HAVE ALL WISDOM and POWER, BOTH IN HEAVEN and on EARTH.

Our popular THOUGHTSKOTO
Less than one day old, playing hide and seek at the nursery staff in the hospital.
I told her to pose for some friendster photos, and there she is, hehe, posing like a real pro! From the shape of the face and the slant of her eyes, and lips and the nose, hehe, its all from her lovely mother.
But our heroine, her mother, who labored and pained to deliver her safe and sound, fresh from Heaven. I was by her side from the hours where she suffered the pain that mothers are very familiar with. I cannot tell her how much I love her, the pain in my hands and arms when she holds it everytime contraction and pushing was done is very very little compare to the pain she had.

I am grateful though that the humpy-dumpy part of Shie, my ever dearest Mrs. Thoughtskoto is over. A few vomiting in a week, mild headache and nausea at times, and all in all, things work out fine. Except for one thing which amazes me. Other than her cravings for cherry, kiamoi, pomelo, corn, and some out of this world, I mean, fruits that can’t be found in Saudi, she is doing fine now. Fruits that can’t be found in Saudi – I’ll give you one example, where in the world can you find a buko or young coconut in the middle of a desert? Hehe. Anyway, now, she becomes a cutty-pretty-butete-guzzler-anything-that-can-be-found-in-ref devourer, hahaha! Shhh, she might get mad at me when she founds out about this blog entry.
Well, I guess I’m happy today huh? I’ll share some funny musing we have had lately. People back in my home town used to call me ‘Batute’ when I was a kid. My Mom said my Uncle gave me that epithet. I hate it. Well, I don’t really hate it, but I don’t like it even though I don’t know what it means. Well, Mrs. Thoughskoto wants to call our new girl ‘batutay’ or boy ‘batotoy’. And guess what will be the name of the mother? “Batutena”!!! O, cute di ba? Hehe For the mean time, since we don’t know yet if our little angel is a he or a she, we settle to call him/her ‘Batots’
We just arrived a few days ago after crossing another country, a small Island of the Bahrain Kingdom. Yes folks, the place where Michael Jackson and family currently live and the place where famed Formula 1 race is held. We went there for leadership training, well, so Shiela can eat some lechon kawali and barbecue na baboy. Hehe.
So we will everyone a happy ‘pabo’ day, yes, as in American tradition, a turkey holiday. Straight from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Thank you so much, in one way or another for touching our lives for good, a little example or word or note, or text or email there, a little tap on our shoulder, stories to tell, or laughter’s we share, Thank you friends and pals wherever you may be now. Please keep in touch.
THE LOVE OF A WOMAN
I believe I ‘met her’ in the MIR in Recto, Manila Institute of Religion, yes, that is. Oh, not met, but ’saw her’ is the right word. I saw her there when I was attending Pearl of Great Price classes back in 2004. But we never have the chance to get to know each other. Not until the very first month of 2006, I am here working in KSA, she barely graduated from college and working in Dell Philippines in Ortigas. She was introduced to me, I was enchanted by her. We texted each other, I called her, she called me. We chatted from yahoo to google. We email each other almost everyday. And who would have consider that love will be born through those ways and means, flourish and eventually lead us both to the temple. In almost a year…
I don’t know her that much. She don’t know me either. Right after marriage we have the chance to know more of each other. But amazingly, the more I get to know her everyday, the more I am in love with her, the more I am grateful for the wonder of the spirit. The grateful I am because I listened to the promptings of the spirit.
…she is caring, and self-less. She will not whine waking up early morning to cook and prepare my food, and baon for lunch, and cook desserts and pastries so when I come home in the afternoon I can fill my stomach. Seriously, I am having bulging belly already. I thought when you marry, the girl usually get preggy, I mean lumalaki ang tiyan. In our case, ako ang lumalaki ang tiyan, haha. But we do hope a baby will soon come. We will let you know once Gazelem or Celestine is coming. Hehe.
I have learned a lot since I got married. Most of those things I learned is how love can fill the gaps of sadness, loneliness, afflictions, challenges and most of the time disappointments. I’ve learned how love can make things lighter to carry on. I’ve learned how someone’s love, especially the love of a woman you too love with all your heart can make things great and wonderful despite the pressures and troubles around.
Not all days are bright and beautiful. There were times my Lovefate will sob, and feel sad because of aloneness and boredom. Saudi Arabia is not a liberal country. It is perhaps one of the most isolated place I’ve ever been. Woman cannot just roam around, ride a taxi or simply go to the mall all on their own. Shie usually stays at home, trying to keep busy with just about everything. We get to go to the mall and nearby markets and groceri stores once I arrived from work. We get to eat in some fine restaurants and date together. We do some walking, or in our own term, we do some walking…
But despite of those hardships and loneliness, a woman who had worked at the two business centers of Manila, Ortigas and Makati, a woman who misses hanging out with friends and malling at Glorietta, she stands with her man. Because we are in this together. There is far greater purpose and wisdom why we are here. Read my late entry about WHY ARE YOU HERE. Almost the same month after I arrived here. I questioned myself. Why I am here, what I am doing here. It took for me a few strides to answer that own question and finally knowing the wisdom of the Lord.
It is no coincidence that I am working here. There is a greater purpose that I fully know and that I cannot simply disclose now. There is a purpose, great and wise that Shie is with me here. We are a family. We are trying to be together no matter how hard and difficult the circumstances. We pray together. We read the scriptures. Everyday. We live the gospel, and try to be as obedient as we can be. We sing hymns together. We teach our Primary kids in the Church together. She is the president, I am the teacher. We enjoy our lives and trust in the Lord that after saving a few dollars, we can go back home, and live life with little comfort and with some savings for our kid’s studies and mission.
Today is her birthday, 23rd birthday, when I left her early this morning she is still asleep, but I sing to her happy birthday, tell her I love her and kiss her sweetly. She is carrying our first baby for 3 months now, and I’ve seen her hardships and her toils, her afflictions and challenges, but we both know how great is her calling, the noblest calling a woman can ever have, to be a mother.
Happy Birthday sweetheart, my dearest Shiela, my LOVEFATE.
