Travel.Bus.Mom

It's almost weekend again and I can't wait for this week to be over because of another long weekend. November 1 is Monday and that is a regular holiday here in the Philippines. It's the day to remember all the departed love ones and for us it simply a day of rest (from work) and day to spend time with the family. I will go home on Saturday so I can be with my Mom whom I've never seen since May of this year. That was long! And I am missing her so much.

Though going home at this time of year is quite tough because everyone is going home, you expect heavy traffic along the major roads and highways and the buses for sure will be full and getting a seat is a major pain but I will not be discouraged. I really want to go home and see my mother.

If only traveling with our motorbike is easier, we would have opted that but our province is four hours bus drive from the Metro and I will not risk hubby’s and my life with the small motorbike in the middle of super high ways.

How I wish we have a car, even a second hand car would do- but it would be lovely if we have a luxury big car, like the one with lambo doors that CariD.com is selling. They are beautiful! I can imagine how exciting it is for the whole family to go road tripping together.

But since we don’t have a car yet, the bus will do us fine. I hope.

Car Dilemma

Our motorbike is our only means of transportation and most of the time we often use it for ministry purposes, just recently, my husband bought new set of tires for it, But it is very frustrating that after a few weeks of using the new tires, the interiors has to be replaced again because we often have flat tires. And if you are in the middle of the road and no vulcanizing shop in sight it can be very frustrating I tell you.

We do want a car because it is more safety but we can not afford it. Do I pray for a car?, Definitely yes and I know God will honor our prayer someday soon. As a matter of fact. we already have the kind of car we want, we don’t need too much car accessories but hubby will surely want some good car grilles or spoiler or mugs. But right now, we have to settle for our motorbike. I hope the new interiors will last longer until such a time that we can afford to buy new ones.

Utility Van for the ministry

Christmas is just around the corner, 32 days to go and everyone seems to be excited, people are buying gifts already, some are even finished with their list while me on the other hand hasn’t started anything yet. I just don’t feel it yet at this moment. Oh wait, last month I wrote my wish list and posted it in my other blog and guess what? a good blogger friend said she now knows what to get me. That’s the advantage of having your wish list published.

And talk about wish, the husband and I have the ultimate wish list for next year or the next year or the in the future years to come. It is something that we can use for the ministry, something that we really need for the ministry. We are actually praying for a car, nope not the expensive chevy but we are praying for this utility van.

It is perfect for the ministry because it is very spacious, we can carry all our stuff, children’s tables and all the materials we need for the Saturday feeding and literacy program. This cost roughly 600 to 700 thousand pesos or $16,000.

But wait, that’s nothing compare to this yellow 2010 audi s4,

look at that! It is so beautiful but the I guess the price is beautiful too! but then again taht's a real beauty. And here’s another one, it’s the 2010 audi a4. Wow!! If you have the resources and you want it, why not drive one yourself. If not, there's nothing wrong in dreaming. let's dream together.
