My Family, My LIFE


Just like any other family, mine have survived the ups and downs in life.  We continue the struggle... Together we can surpass any hurdle,  Together we can fight the odds.

MY FAMILY... MY LIFE

At Great Image
Taken sometime in August of 2005, a truly memorable photograph of a family that is bonded by love, respect and dignity. We may not have the luxuries of life but we always possess the blessing of having each other through good or bad times... in moments of sadness or joyful success... in weakness or strength... through heartaches and blissful unions... We treasure every moment like this:

happyfamily
Taken two years back.  It was our Christmas Party 2010 and our family got the blue color theme so here we are...
the BLUE BABIES

Closely knit... that's what we are
"KAPIT-BISIG"
whatever
whenever
wherever

Always hold each other so tightly
no matter what
no matter when
no matter where

Through rain or shine... we share
any thing
any time
any place

When one of us is in pain, 
everybody feels for the hurting... 
When one of us tastes victory, 
everybody jumps for triumph... 
When one of us is in need, 
everybody has a helping hand...
and if one of us is lost... 
everybody cares to lead the way.

    You have nice family there. We also have our themed family photo every Christmas and New Year. I guess the family that has been through a lot together becomes stronger.

      We're in yellow last Christmas Party. Every year, we elect our president and hold meetings during weekends or after office hours. Our FB group page keeps every member updated with the minutes of the meetings.

      Family is our strength... it is our HOME.

      If only every family in the country do practice eating together over meals... this will definitely open a room for communication. This is one factor to be a strong family.

Lizette Turns 18 - The Opening Prayer

Image
Every milestone in life is a remarkable event... an occasion to celebrate and be grateful for. Nothing is worthier than appreciating God's blessings and praising Him everyday. Either in joy or sorrow, we close our eyes... kneel down to ask for guidance and utter our intentions. The most anticipated day has come. November 16, 2013 marked the 18th birthday of my daughter. As we shared a momentous night in her life, we offered a prayer to ask for the Holy Spirit to come upon us and bowed our heads in God's divine presence. Claire Dave Ellis The opening prayer was delivered by: Claire Dave Ellis Magos , younger cousin of our debutante, currently in 7 th  Grade at La Immaculada Concepcion School. Their closeness goes beyond being cousins because Lizette treats her like a baby sister. THE OPENING PRAYER "GOD of all creation, worthy of our praise, we are grateful for Your presence in this evening’s celebration of life. We thank You for this opportunity in

MyeDomain.info Is Now on Track

The last few days of February had been terrible due to my family's battle with contagious URTI (upper respiratory tract infection). We were all sick and the least that I can do ONLINE is to LIKE and SURF. When I felt a bit OK... I got the chance to update some of my online tasks and was able to successfully transfered my GoDaddy domain to my blogspot site, 8 March 2013, after having tried a number of times... It was a TRIAL and ERROR, because I have no idea about how it's done like the technicalities... fortunately, all my hard works paid off by the kind help of google of course.

Why Blogging?

Image
Photo Credit After almost 15 years of idyllic yet a little obnoxious stint in an office environment, I found myself in front of our computer most of the time because of my newly discovered world: the blogosphere . Well defined as the "world of blogs " or a collective whole of all the blogs in the Internet . I started blogging last May of this year and I am truly delighted with this experience. Firstly, writing is my passion though I considered myself not that professional like a novelist or lyricist, playwright or journalist. I just know how to write but I'm not any "master" of this academe. Secondly, through writing, I can convey what goes in my mind and put them in words. Thirdly, I can freely express my innermost feelings about what I see, what I hear, taste and even the most aromatic scent that can touch my sensitivity. Mye Domain will be turning six months this coming November and I am in fact very grateful for my family for being so suppor

Invading CATTLEYA RESORT

Every year,  Acierto Clan traditionally brings the whole family for an out-of-town summer escapade. We usually go to Pansol, Laguna and enjoy its hot springs but this year we preferred to go somewhere near like Antipolo. Because of our large number, we can only afford an overnight or two-day stay to any private resort.  We usually make the road trip on January to search for clean and spacious rooms that can accommodate the entire clan. Once the reservation was settled, we start the countdown This 2012, we invade the cold waters of  Cattleya Resort .  Came March 31, more than 60 of us headed for the hills of Antipolo, Rizal. Our meeting place was  Jollibee-Tikling Branch  to have our breakfast. We were the first customers of that morning.  While waiting for our orders, we took some photos. My generous cousin AIMEE who settled the resort's day-tour expense
