In reality she is one year older. I am not sure why she has to lie her real age. I only found out when one time she had a video chat with a stranger in Facebook dating. The guy who called, her up who she hasn't met yet said, he loved her and I had this question in my mind how can you say I love you to a person whom you've just called, up. He had told her how old he was which ten years age difference. She had told him her age I found out later she is one year older than me. She had told the guy he can be her son. I than tease her and called, her Ate (meaning older sister). She looked at me. I said, you are one year older than me why do you need to lie about your age.

It has been a long time since I have attended a baptism and become a God Parent at the same time. What is the preparation before you have your baby's baptism? Birth Certificate of your daughter/son Reserve a date of the baptism Each Godparent there is a fee to pay at the church depends on the parish. Reserve the venue of the reception Know who your godparents will be and make sure you know they will be there to give the best guideness to your child as he/she grows up. In the Philippines people go all out when they plan a baptism they have a banner made up which I was able to design one for her. They also give our Baptism Party favors as their remembrance on that occasions. The baptism only took thirty minutes with short prayer, blessing the baby in holy water and lighting the candle. The process compared to the States is really different compare to the Philippines. The people don't really dress up for baptism in the Philippines.  ...

For example: I buy my Australian hamburger at Shopwise Grocery Store when they have a BOGO sale. They run the price of PHP 500.00 ($10.00) for eighteen patties. They are not seasoned yet. I just sprinkle salt and black pepper on both side. I would defrost the meat and season them place they back on their individual wax paper place back in the freezer. Each hamburger patty is 15 minuites to be grilled. I stop it when it reaches to #8 than flip it and wait till there is #4 remaining and it is completely cooked. We don't like our ...
