How important is your Spouse?

Last night in church, the priest was sharing about importance of our spouse.  The message was mind boggling.

Paulit ulit sinabi sa Bible...

Genesis 2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.


Matthew 19:5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?


Mark 10:7-8 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; 8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.


Ephesians 5:31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.

Here is the situation posted by the priest:

To a WIFE: you are in a sinking boat with your husband AND your mother.  Who will you save?

Katabi ko si Mama sa church...sagot ko "My Mother" pero talagang in my heart and sagot ko ay si Mama ang i-save ko.  I can find another husband in the future, but I'll never be able to replace Mama.

Halos buong simbahan Mother ang sagot.  Tawa and Pari.

Second scene: You are with your husband AND your 6 year old daughter.  Who will you save?

My answer: I'll save Audrey sabay hug sa anak ko.  She looks at me and says, "I know how to swim Mommy, you need not save me." Oh my innocent child....
Really, I can live looking at my daughter and see in her my husband.  But I don't think I can live in peace with my husband thinking that I chose to let my daughter die...

Pero sabi ni Father...God commandeth husband and wife to be one.  Above all else daw, superior ang relationship ng mag-asawa over any other relatives.

Ganon? Ganon talaga? hahaha

Of course patawa lang ang Pari...there are many explanations of the verses above.  But at that point, talagang napa-isip din ako. 

Third scene: You are with your husband and MIL, sinong se-save mo....tawanan buong simbahan.  Kawawa daw talaga ang mga MIL.  Loko tong Pari, he's rubbing it in.  Ano naman feeling ng mga nasa congregation na kasama ang kanilang MIL? Hay patawa!

Nasa Children's chapel si Luigi taking care of Aeden, so hindi nag-usap ang aming mga mata during the sermon...I'll surely ask him what would be his plan if he were in the situation.

Last for the Road, Crown Hotel Yantai

Gosh, August pa yung trip ko pero anong petsa na eto parin ako at nagboblog about it.  I have been not so busy these past days but I'm too lazy to write.

Although the last leg of my two week business trip to China is the most tiring, I loved my hotel.  But not instantly.  I was given sea view room at the 15th floor.  Nice! very spacious.  I did not take any photo of the view as I thought I had 3 days naman. 

Time to sleep...nak nang! ano yong ingay na yon? ang lakas naman kung yung dagat.  I had a nagging headache (epekto ng kabababiyahe) and had similar experiences before.  I'm sure I won't be able to sleep with that noise.  So I called the operator and requested for another room.  OK, they gave me a city view room, pero delux...sumaya ang lola :-)

Mabilis lang sa room then nag lunch nako sa lobby.  I enjoyed this lunch.  Ang sarap ng food.  Akala ko mulberry yung nasa gitna ng salmon appetizer.  When I looked closely, caviar pala. Antutchal! Their tagliatelle was heavy in cream, kinain ko lang yung mga seafood.  Cheesecake was good too.  I noticed one staff na pinapanood niya ako kasi kumakanta ako with my earphones on, medyo malakas siguro.  But we smiled at each other.  I saw her every morning and her smile made my day!  I went back on my last day to give her some chocolates pero hindi ko siya nahanap.  She really made me feel at home, I feel sad not to be able to say goodbye.

Gabi na nakapagpicture sa Sea View room. 

halata na ang pagod sa aking ngiti  :-(

dahil maingay, upgrade to a delux room.  may opisina ako, may sala, at sing laki ng room ang toilet and bath.
funny thing, di ko napansin ang sliding doors ng T&B.  Nasa side sila ng LCD TV.

nakadalawang self portrait dahil hindi ako makasmile ng hindi maasim...oh well...pagod na nga eh.  dahil di ko nakita ang mga sliding panels (tan GA kasi), i did all my business "without" doors.  eh mag isa ko naman! actually I also left the drapes open.  33rd floor naman, sinong titingin? at hanggang tingin lang naman...LOL baka nasuka lang sila....

Due to exhaustion, my supplier urged me to rest for the morning and continue audit in the afternoon.  Di ko narin talaga kaya...nakakakita nako ng mga sparks... so late ang gising and then ordered room service.  salmon parin, the sushi was overloaded with mayonnaise, loved the mushroom soup.  Earl Grey tea...sarap.

 
I wish maisama ko pamilya ko sa tuwing bumabiyahe ako.  Hubby can bring the kids out while I do my audits :-( wish wish wish.

Sad for my Friend

e-mail ko kay hubby....

this morning, napansin nun MD dito, e bukas ilaw.


tinry daw buksan pero naka-lock.


tumawag ng facilities at pinabukas…so nagsalita siya na andito ako sa loob sandali lang.






pinabaklas daw ni MD yung cover na papel.






tapos sinabihan siya ng HR na nagalit daw si MD…tsk tsk di man lang dinefend ng HR ang heartless hearless…naiyak siya na magshare sa akin. so sinabi ko nga rin maraming beses nangyari sakin na may pasok sa room…ask nila bakit naka-lock…pero grabe nangyari sa kanya!
