My daily life with photographs

2009 Winter Solstice

Yesterday was the shortest day of the year. We only had 3hrs and45 minutes of daylight. There was a lot of activities that went on Downtown yesterday in celebration of the Winter Solstice and the 50th year of Statehood.

Here are some pictures that I took during the fireworks display.

White Christmas

Living in Fairbanks Alaska, we don’t need to wish for white Christmas. We are guaranteed to have a white Christmas. Actually it's white outside for couple months before Christmas and few more months after. I just wish it’s Christmas all the time.

Thankful

I'm so thankful for what I have. Sometimes little things that can be taken advantage.

I am so thankful that I have a truck and I don't have to cross this scary bamboo bridge to get to where I'm going.

I am thankful I don't have to fetch water from the well or spring.

I am thankful I don't have to spend the whole day washing clothes by hand and drying it in the cloth line.

I am so thankful I have a comfortable house with water and electricity in it.

I am thankful for my kitchen

I'm thankful for my couch.

I'm thankful for my floor.

and oh! I am so thankful for my bed, my comfortable bed. It's hard to imagine that I spend at least 30% of my life sleeping. yep! almost half of my life, spent sleeping.

Rev. Ludrigo Gasmin

Please help pray for my Brother, he's in pain right now. He was diagnose with Cholelithiasis with Cholocystitis. He needs to have a surgery pretty soon and we are struggling financially.
When it rains it pours, it really does.
After my Dad's funeral, my uncle (dad's brother) got admitted in the hospital and that same day my brother got in motor bike accident, he was fine but his daughter's legs got hit and had to rushed in the hospital where she was admitted for 3 days.. Joel and I was still there that time and also during the typhoon. We were ok but my sister wasn't. Their house got flooded in.
Please help pray.
