Grace: For you on your special day

Grace ...

... seemingly effortless beauty or charm of movement, form, or proportion.

... a quality pleasing for its charm or refinement.

...a sense of fitness or propriety.

...says the dictionary...

...but to us who have known a certain GRACE ... her name represents something more, something more meaningful. She is a woman who has graced our lives, playing different and unique roles : our faithful friend, our guiding ate, our kikay companion, our adventure mate, our confidante, our movie pal, our organized planner, our discipler, our mentor... and so many more. She reminds us to be in close contact with God, admonishes us when we forget, wins us back into the faith. She can be serious yet be so funny. We see in her commitment... and maybe that is her greatest trait.
In many ways, she helped us become better persons and have deeper relationship with others and more importantly, with God. And so, on this special day of your life... we want to greet you...

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

we give you the messages below!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRACE!!!

I knew nothing, except what everyone knows - if there when Grace dances, I should dance. - W.H. Auden

Grace means there is nothing we can do to make God loves us more. And grace means there is nothing we can do to make God love us less. Grace means that God already loves us as much as an infinite God can possibly love. - Philip Yancey

News Flash: HBG strikes again!!

Disclaimer: Ang mga pangyayari na inyong mababasa ay walang katotohanan at pawang kathang isip lamang. Anumang pagkakahawig sa totoong buhay ay hindi sinasadya. Hmm....sige, na nga, siguro may pagkakahawig ng konti.

Isa na namang kainan ang binulabog ng Happy Birthday Gang (HBG) noong Huwebes, Sept. 22. Nilusob ng HBG ang McDonalds sa Jupiter St. corner Makati Ave. armado ng mga lobo, laruan at kagamitang pang-prinsipe at prinsesa. Halos 30 katao ang napag-alamang hinostage nila nung gabing yon.


Sari-saring pagpapahirap ang ipinagawa sa mga kaawa-awang hostages: pinatakbo, pinakembot, at pinasigaw ng paulit-ulit. May narinig din daw na mga putok sa loob ng kainan. Halos mawala sa sarili ang mga hostages nang sila ay kausapin dahil kung ano-anong mga salita at pangungusap na walang ibig sabihin ang kanilang mga sinabi.


Napag-alaman din na 5 biktima (itago na lang natin sa pangalang Gie, Francis and Jojo, Aris at Malou -- hindi naka-ayon sa larawan) ang walang awang pinag-ihip ng mga kandila sa cake habang paulit-ulit na sinasabi sa kanila ang kanilang pagtanda (psychological torture).


Hindi pa naawa ang HBG dahil dinakip ang isa sa limang biktima (na tinago natin sa pangalang Gie) at isasama daw ng HBG sa London upang doon magkalat ng lagim. Nasa larawan ang biktima habang namamaalam sa kanyang mga kasama.


Hindi pa alam kung kailan ulit lulusob ang HBG kaya binabalaan ang madla. Ipag-alam sa pulisya kung makikita nyo ang pinuno ng HBG. Narito ang kanyang larawan:


Pinag-iingat ang taong bayan dahil napakagaling daw sa pagpapalit ng anyo ang pinuno ng HBG. Nakita nang nag-anyong manok ang pinuno noong Hunyo. At hinihinalang may anyong bubuyog din ito. Pinag-iingat ang lahat.
