I don't always write about my husband. he's a very quiet guy, low key. but since it was father's day yesterday I am going to dedicate a few paragraphs of mushiness just for him. =)
Paul is a great guy. He is very patient with me and michelle, very understanding. he is a man of few words but we can feel how much he truly loves his family. I know him so well that even the slightest twitch in his face or the change in his breathing tells me that he's thinking of something and if I don't ask him what it was, he probably wont speak about it. he doesn't hold a grudge, nor does he criticize people. He can be funny and crack jokes, but he never makes fun of people.
he's hardworking, smart, and passionate about playing his guitar. I love hearing him play and watching him get lost in the notes and chords of the music. It really seems like he is in his own world when he plays. I am his biggest fan.
I never forget to tell him how much I love him every single day. and because I say it, he says it back. lol he's never broken my heart and we pray our marriage stays the way it is, Christ-centered, and full love.
He strives to be the best dad for Michelle so that she grows to be the best person she can be. I am thankful that Paul is a great husband and father so that Michelle's standards for her future husband will be high! =D Whenever I see Paul and Michelle together, my heart fills up with joy and gratitude that I have these amazing people in my life. God truly knew what he was doing when He brought us together.
This September, Paul and I are celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary. I am giddy with excitement to have reached a milestone year. I love him a little bit more each day. God is good. =)

rheumatoid arthritis/health update
I've lost almost 20 lbs in about 2 1/2 months. it sounds like a lot but I have about 30 more pounds to lose to get to a healthy weight. I have gained so much weight during the past 5 years so there is so much to lose also. once I get to my target weight, or close to it, I will share with you how I lost this weight, the healthy way.
on Saturday, I was talking to a friend from church who currently has an undiagnosed auto-immune disease. those who have read my blog may be familiar with some of my posts about Rheumatoid Arthritis, the auto-immune disease that I currently have. my friend may have some type of rheumatoid arthritis also, or a type of lupus. she doesn't know it quite yet but her rheumatologist is working closely with her to get the right diagnosis and get her the right treatment. she was sharing with me her frustrations about being sick (while not looking sick), and the pain that she is currently going through. I remember very clearly the first few months of feeling the symptoms of RA, how difficult it was to simply move. Every task, no matter how simple, was excruciatingly painful. undressing to shower and get dressed took anywhere from 45 minutes to 1 hour. preparing breakfast? forget about it. I only had the energy to make coffee. I was in pain, and exhausted. it was so scary to not be able to do the things you used to do so effortlessly and to feel this helplessness at such a young age. thankfully, I was able to see my doctor right away who immediately suspected rheumatoid arthritis and referred me to a Rheumatologist. it has been about 1 year and 8 months since I was diagnosed and while I still feel the pain especially in my feet, I am on the road to better health. i felt the same way early on in my diagnosis. i didn't look sick at all. some people said, 'you just need to exercise!'. i know was overweight but how can i exercise when even getting out of bed was painful! i cried so many times because so many people just didn't understand. thankfully, i have such a wonderful and supportive husband who did his best to learn about my condition and help me in any way he could.
i shared all of these pains and frustrations with my friend to let her know that she is not alone. she was close to tears and very appreciative because there was someone she could relate to. i thanked the Lord for the opportunity to be an encouragement to her and i realized that there truly is always a silver lining to every dark cloud. who knew that my illness will be a source of understanding and encouragement. God's ways are truly magnificent and His ways are above ours.
since i have lost some weight, i felt bold enough to register for my first 5k run in august. i started training last week, using the couch to 5k app and successfully went through the first day. yesterday, my husband and i decided to go train again and i failed miserably. halfway through the training, i felt the pain shooting up from my feet to my shins. it was so painful i thought i was going to pass out from the pain. aside from having RA, i also have flat feet. I've always had flat feet but people who have normal arches and later get RA can also have fallen arches. i limped the rest of our 'training' and went home and googled for tips about running with RA and flat feet. Tip #1, get the right shoes and insoles - i had neither. training is suspended until the husband takes me to a store that specializes in these things. *sigh* but i haven't lost hope. it's just another hurdle to overcome.

Hotel Review: Disney's Port Orleans Hotel Riverside
it's always rough when you get off a red eye flight from the West Coast. We arrived at Orlando before sunrise without much sleep, so we slowly walked our way to the Disney Magical Express which took us to our hotel about 30 minutes away.
when we arrived at the hotel, we were greeted by the staff wearing their big smiles and Mickey Mouse hands and handing out stickers. I was not expecting such a warm greeting so early in the morning but it did cheer us up. When we walked in to the hotel lobby, I was amazed at the elegance of it's tall white columns and beautiful chandeliers! "Wow!", I said to my self. It was more than I expected from a moderate resort. Check in was a breeze. I knew our room would not be ready so early in the morning so we were advised that we would receive a text message with the room number when it was ready. They didn't have to give us keys because we already had our Magic Bands and we could go to our room as soon as we received the text message, no need to go back to the front desk to get keys.
Since we had time, we decided to eat breakfast at the Riverside Mill Food Court. It was around 8:30 am so the dining room was abuzz with people getting ready to go visit the parks. They had a pancake/waffle station and a omelette station. We were not expecting the quality of the food to be exceptional; WDW has a number of other restaurants that had outstanding food (our favorites during this trip were Chef Mickey's and Akershus). After breakfast, we walked around the resort grounds that were very well kept. the large trees provided a lot of shade and the river gave a Louisiana Bayou feel to the resort. There were 3 swimming pools, the largest of which had a slide. I remember Michelle squealing with glee as she slid down the slide for the first time.
our room was ready around 9:30 am (check in time is really 3 pm, so thank you Disney!). We had a room in the Alligator Bayou which was large enough to accommodate 5 guests (it had 2 double beds and a murphy bed for kids). The bathroom was small but it did help that the vanity was separate from the toilet/bath area. so one person can be in the shower while someone else brushed their teeth or got dressed.
Disney's bus system to the parks were very efficient. an added benefit of staying at Disney's Port Orleans resort is the water transportation from the resort to Downtown Disney. we took advantage of this amenity after exploring Downtown Disney on our last night at Walt Disney World.
Highlights: to me, the best thing about staying at the Port Orleans Riverside Resort was the friendliness of the staff. there wasn't one person that stood out but everyone did an exceptional job. I was in awe at the professionalism and the level of service the Disney Cast Members give to ALL the guests. From the Disney Magical Express, to the Hotel, to the Theme Parks, everyone was helpful and attentive. we have stayed at many hotels, some even at the highest level of luxury so you expect the service to excellent. we experienced the same excellent service all through out our stay at Riverside and throughout Walt Disney World. I highly recommend staying here for your next Disney World Vacation. We have not experienced other WDW hotels so we don't have a basis of comparison, but Port Orleans Riverside will not disappoint.

how to plan a Magical Disney World Vacation
we got back a couple of weeks ago from our Walt Disney World vacation. As exhausting as it was, it was truly, truly, MAGICAL. I cannot get over how much fun we had, how beautiful our resort was, how great the parks were and how helpful the Disney Cast Members were.
planning this vacation started about 6 months prior to the trip. I've never been to Disney World and wanted to take Michelle here for her 7th birthday but she decided on a birthday party instead so I shelved the WDW vacation idea. after seeing one too many WDW ads on tv, I decided to look into it and see how much it would cost. It wasn't expensive (it wasn't cheap either, it's just right) so we decided this was going to be our spring break destination.
Before I share the rest of our experience at Walt Disney World, let me share with you my step by step guide to planning a WDW vacation:
1. Pick your Disney World Hotel. Don't even think about staying off property. Trust me on this. I did the math and you get more bang for your buck by staying at a WDW hotel. There are 3 tiers to their properties: Value Resort, Moderate, and De Luxe. We stayed at Port Orleans Riverside which is a Moderate Resort. I selected this property because based on reviews that I read. This is not over run with kids and is a quiet resort. The grounds were beautiful and were very well kept, there are multiple swimming pools (the main pool has a slide, all moderate resorts have this), there are restaurants on-site, and ferry service to Downtown Disney. By staying at a WDW Resort Hotel, you don't have to worry about renting a car. The Disney Magical Express takes you from the Orlando airport to your hotel and vice versa. There are buses that take guests from their hotel to the parks, too.
2. How many days do you want to stay? We were at WDW for 5 days, and spent 4 days at the parks (Hollywood studios, Animal Kingdom, Epcot, and Typhoon Lagoon). This was our biggest mistake! 5 days is not enough time to visit 4 parks. By the end of our vacation, we were EXHAUSTED! we should have spent a full week and visited 4 parks so we could squeeze in a day of rest in between parks. but if you only have 5 days, visit 2 parks or no more than 3. there's just too much walking involved in hot and humid Orlando. Taking a 'rest day' also allows you to enjoy your hotel a little more. There is a catch and release fishing hole at our hotel but we never had a chance to go because our schedule was so tight. We could have lounged by the pool more if we had extra days or do a few more things at Downtown Disney. There's so much to do, not just at the parks so those rest days wont go to waste.
3. Pick a Disney Dining Plan. I was unsure whether this was a good value prior to our visit. we paid approximately $140 per day for our dining plan (this is for 2 adults and 1 child). we figured, we would spend at least $120 per day for our meals if we didn't do the dining plan. $120 for meals where we pick the cheapest meals and no character dining experiences at all. I don't like the idea of being stingy on vacation. it's a vacation! so we decided on the Magic Your Way Package Plus Dining. The way our dining plan worked was we got 1 table service, 1 counter service, and 1 snack for each day of our stay. On some days, we had 2 counter service meals at the parks (lunch and dinner), we used 2 of our table service credits for 2 Character Dining experiences (1 table service credit per person), 2 table service credits (per person) for the Spirit of Aloha Dinner show. We had snacks thru out the day and we got to really enjoy the food at the parks and at our hotel. The value for money was really good and we got to enjoy some of the best restaurants at WDW without breaking the bank.
4. Visit a Water Park. Disney has two water parks: Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach. Typhoon lagoon is perfect for families with young children. Blizzard beach has giant slides and are for the older, more daring kids. since we were traveling with 8 year olds, we picked typhoon lagoon and enjoyed the wave pool, the shark reef (we swam with sharks!), and many different slides and the lazy river.
5. Get the photo pass/memory maker. I know everyone has a good camera nowadays, whether it's your phone or your big, bulky, digital SLR. While we have some good photos from our own camera, our favorite photos came from the photos from the memory maker. We always asked for 'Magic Shots' where Disney characters were photo shopped later on. Even the photos from the rides are included in the memory maker so you can keep yourscared and shocked funniest photos from your vacations, too!
6. Magic Bands. Every day I used the Magic Bands, I was in awe at all the magical things it could do! Our magic band was our room key, it was our park tickets, it held our fast pass information, it had our dining plans, it connected with our Photo Pass account, it can be used to make purchases all over WDW. I didn't have to bring my wallet at the parks at all so I never worried about it being stolen or lost while on vacation. I simply kept my wallet locked away at the safe in our hotel room and let the Magic Band do every thing it's supposed to do! You can only get a magic band if you stay at a Disney hotel, if not, you'll have to purchase them online ($12.95 each).
7. Call Air Manila (650 757 5555 or email at airmanila@hotmail.com) to book your vacation! If you don't think you can afford a WDW vacation, you are mistaken. By booking a WDW vacation package, you are only required to make a $200 deposit and your vacation doesn't need to be paid in full until 45 days before your vacation so if you book early enough, you can make monthly payments on your vacation or save up and pay in full before your deadline!

no judgement!
no matter which side of the fence you're on, we all get judged, unfortunately.
constantly get bombarded with questions about when I plan on having my next child, and when I tell them the honest truth that I don't want any more, I know the things that go on in their heads - the unspoken comments, unasked questions. behind all of that I know they're thinking I'm being selfish for choosing to have just one child. sometimes it bothers me, but it bothers me less and less as michelle gets older. I always say, I have so much respect and admiration for parents who have more than one child. I just hope they can say the same with our choice.

Tahoe, back to back weekends
winter is here!
or is it?
after a really wet december, when we were feeling optimistic about putting a dent to this drought we're experiencing, it stopped raining/snowing this january. =( we had made plans to go to South Lake Tahoe using our timeshare with Marriott and then my cousins invited us to rent a cabin in North lake Tahoe for the weekend before our original plans. Paul is really into snowboarding, so i am sure he'd want the chance to ride as much as possible, so off we went to Tahoe on back to back weekends.
we rented a cabin in Truckee for the weekend of January 9th. There was a decent amount of snow on the ground and there was enough snow in front of our cabin so the kids could play. we went to soda springs so the kids can play and also went to a snow park. we really made the most of this snow trip and it was a great time spent with my cousins. we plan on doing it every year.
the following weekend, Martin Luther King Jr weekend, we went to South Lake Tahoe where there was hardly any snow, it was truly depressing! all the places that had snow (usually man made) was crowded and terribly expensive! i also felt ill one day we were there and spent several hours curled up in bed with a hot water bottle. despite the lack of snow, it was still great time spent with my loves.
the photo below is my absolute favorite moment in tahoe. my heart does flips when i see these two together and feel how strong their bond is. paul said, 'i want to hug michelle until she turns to pulp!' they were not posing for this photo. they were hugging each other for a long time and i took the picture. i pray that their bond will last forever. =D
I think Tahoe is one of my favorite places to visit whether it's winter or summer, but not during winters that feel like summer. =( tahoe is beautiful any time of the year and since it's a short 3.5 hour drive, it will continue to be on our list favorite weekend destinations. now if only we can get half the snow that the northeast is getting!

Pope Francis
i was watching news coverage of Pope Francis in Manila and I was moved. I have so much respect and admiration for this man of God. I admire his humility, simplicity, and modesty. He is all about love and not so much about rules which is exactly what Christ wanted us to learn.
Of course nobody is perfect...no religion is perfect, but we serve a perfect God and He is all we need.
I grew up Catholic but I'm now a born again Christian. What's the difference? That's a pretty long discussion. =D anyway, I pray that the Pope's example leads more people to Christ.
