Bag/Purse Tag

I received this tag from Dhemcy... I would like to thank her for sharing this show and tell tag...:)... Thanks a lot for this,sis... Also to Joy of Shopaholic's Chronicles.

Here are the rules:
1. Post a picture of whatever bag you are carrying as of late. No, you can't go into your closet and pull out your favorite purse! We want to know what you carried today or the last time you left the house.
2. List how much it cost. And this is not to judge. This is for entertainment purposes only. So spill it. And if there is a story to go along with how you obtained it, we’d love to hear it.
3. Tag some chicks. And link back to this post so people know why the heck you’re showing everyone your bag.

This is my favorite bag. I bought this bag in Rome for a discounted price. I bought this for only £15. I've been using this bag for less than 1 year. This is what I'm using everytime me and my husband is going out. I have other bags but I love using this one.



What I have here: coins, ballpen, my wallet, cell phones (one for my roaming sim and one for my italian sim), lipstick and keys ( house in the city and in the country).

Now, it's my turn to pass this tag to: Ate Lisa, Anne, Toni, Joy, G-Anne, and YOU! Feel free to grab this,guys....

Prayer Tag And Link For The Philippines And The Filipinos

Instructions:

This is a prayer tag and link for the Philippines and the Filipinos. You are enjoined to utter this prayer for nine (9) consecutive days and to tag as many bloggers as you can with preference for Filipinos. But only bona fide Filipinos shall be included in the official registry of Filipino bloggers in this blog. Each time a new blogger makes a link, be sure to send me an email of the entire link through melalarilla@gmail.com so that the official list will be consolidated in a master list in this blog. For our Muslim brothers, you may make your own special prayer formula but you must never deviate from the formula of this entire post.

Prayer

Dear heavenly Father, we consecrate to you our beloved country- the Philippines and all the Filipinos around the world. We acknowledge Father that apart from You, we can do nothing and it is only your divine providence and grace that can unite all Filipinos as one nation. We therefore humble ourselves before your throne. We confess all our sins to you individually and collectively as a nation. Forgive us our sins Father and wash us clean by the precious blood of Your beloved Son- Jesus Christ. Mend our wicked ways and let us experience a strong and genuine spiritual revival for ourselves and for our country. Let the Holy Spirit imbibe us with power, love and wisdom to return to Your path of holiness and righteousness. Bless our country, heavenly father. Bless all Filipinos wherever they maybe. Let progress, unity, harmony, stability, justice, peace and prosperity reign in our country.

Bless our leaders, from the President down to the lowest Barangay official. Touch their hearts that they may serve our country with all honesty and with love and integrity. Bless our children and our future generation. And bless us all Father in all aspects of our lives. This we pray to You heavenly Father, in the mighty name of Jesus, through the power of the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever. Amen.

Can you remember the day you first met your hubby?
Yes, it can't be forgotten..:) ... It's one of the most memorable day of my life...

When was that?
December 13, 2003 when he went to the Philippines and met me in person.

First impression.
Neat and good looking.

Were you attracted to him?
Yes, of course.

Were you friends before he became your bf?
Yes, we became friends for more than 2 years...

What was the sweetest thing he did for you?
He traveled miles away just to meet me in person. Then during his first visit in the Philippines he stayed there for almost 1 month. After 3 years, he returned in the Philippines to marry me. But within that year, he is calling me every Sunday then sometimes we are exchanging e-mails too.

What are the things about him that you are thankful for?
I'm very thankful because he loves me and my family very much. He is a God-fearing person. He is kind. He is a responsible and family loving guy. And he understand me always.

To make the place more fair.
And, like the garden blossoms,
Friendship's flower grows more sweet
When watched and tended carefully
By those we know and meet.
And, if the seed of friendship
Is planted deep and true
And watched with understanding,
Friendship's flower will bloom for you.

Jesus is Lord Tag

First I grabbed this tag to Dhemcy but I wasn't able to post it immediately and then Ate Cecil gave this tag to me... So I want to thank both of them for this tag.

Proverbs 22:5-6 In the paths of the wicked lie thorns and snares, but he who guards his soul stays far from them. Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it. All children must learn that there is only one King of all Kings and Lord of Lords and that is: Jesus Christ!


And now it's my honor to pass it to my dear blogger friends Ate Gigi , Filipina , Gvenrose , Jhelea , Selina and Ate Lisa
