Angel's Touch

March 11, 2018 Mayor Inaki Zubiri Duathlon Ta Malaybalay is the first city sponsored duathlon in Malaybalay City, in celebration of the city's 20th charter day. Malaybalay City Sports and Development Office spearheaded the event, headed by Mr. Christopher Soria in collaboration with Malaybalay runners and coach Kenneth Amiel Taylor. It was held in basakan area in Simaya, Malaybalay City. It was a successful event attended by different participants in different regions. And all the winners are more than happy to receive a medal, trophy and a cash prize. Coordinators deserved a double pat in the back. Kudos! Arki joined the event and he got second place in age 6-8 category with 1000 cash prize. Here is a short video clip of Arki's performance: I hope the City would sponsor more activities like this.  Arki's next race: Alaska Ironkids. Bring it on!

Arki Emmanuel C. Lozano was born on June 21, 2011. He was born with a bilateral clubfoot wherein both feet are twisted internally and that the feet face each other. 1 in 1000 babies are born with clubfoot. At 4 days old, he has undergone series of casting; every week for 3 months. It was a tough journey for us. Every week we need to produce 2,500 pesos for his casting procedure. We borrowed money a lot. We borrowed from friends, relatives and even lending centers. Apart from that, we need to take in all the pain that Arki was feeling. He cried a lot and he had numerous sleepless nights, so did we. The Cast His feet without the cast After 4 months of casting, he was now ready to wear a shoe brace for 2 years. The agony started here. He can only move his feet in up, down and side directions. He never slept when he first wore the brace. Only until after few days, did he manage to familiarize the brace. The shoe Brace After 2 years, he was allowed to...

Feb 18, 2018 - Butuan RCL Triathlon Series This was Arki's 1st triathlon race. Competing for age 8-15 category (even though he's still 6). This was more like a tune up race for the upcoming Alaska Ironkids this coming March in Davao City.  It was more of a play for him than a competition. It's always like this in every races. We don't really pressure him to join a race to win, as long as he is enjoying what he is doing. It's already a consolation for us that his clubfeet are now fixed, big thanks to this sport. All our effort and the effort of his coaches paid off. Triathlon ready With Daddy. Setting up the bike for the transition. With friends - youone and klingkling Ready To Swim  Racing to Swim Out in the water Slow and easy To Bike transition area (These motorcycles though. Very unsafe) With my ever supportive parents. I'm officially a triathlete and definitely Alaska Ironkids ready He fi...

Feburary 14, 2018 Gone are those days when you would send me flowers in the office, or surprise me when I wake up with a breakfast in bed, whenever valentines day come. This sounds awful, right? Well, not really. LOVE is not celebrated on Valentines Day only. LOVE is celebrated everyday. A kiss in my forehead whenever we part from work means so much to me. It's a reminder of our love for each other. It's a reminder of the vow we made from seven years ago. I may not tell you this everyday, but I do love you every second of everyday. I treasure every moments together. Those moments when you get to  fetch me from work and we have our alone time together. Talking just about anything -  our goals in life, plans for our family....Arguing over what's more important- financial stability or  significance in  life? This got me thinking and I know that I'm so focused about our financial goals that sometimes I'm forgetting to live life. I easily get angry whenever ...

" I have found the one whom my soul loves" song of solomon 3:4 7 years ago today, we tied the knot. I was 4 months pregnant when we got married. We were not engaged for too long, but still, we decided to marry. I honestly don't know why. All we know and feel that moment was that it was the right thing to do. Probably not in the way that we want it to be, but everything happens for a reason and God's plan is always the best plan. I was never really a happy mother to be. I was not excited at all. I felt tired, exhausted and unhappy. I was aloof to people. I seldom go out. I was not interested to talk about my pregnancy. I guess maybe I was not yet ready back then. June 21, 2011, I gave birth to our little boy. Motherhood still didn't excite me. I felt so young and naive to have this kind of responsibility. Especially when I learned that our baby has clubfoot. It broke my heart. I didn't know what to do. My only solace was you....

Everyday is a new cupcake recipe day! And today, I will share with you my Dark Bottom Cupcake recipe. Also named as Black bottom cupcake or chocolate surprise cupcake or you can call it whatever you want to call it. You see, I didn't study baking or had a formal course with baking. I learned to cook and bake on  my own through YouTube and google. Whenever I want to cook something, I just grab on my laptop or my mobile phone to search on the food I want to cook. I use YouTube if it's my first time to make it, but I'm using google more just to get the recipe. It's my first time to make this but not my first time to bake cupcakes, so I'm going for google this time. I downloaded the "all recipes" app so I can just search whatever I want to bake right directly on the app. So guys, here goes my recipe for "Dark Bottom Cupcake" which I got from allrecipes.com.   Ingredients: 1 package cream cheese 1 egg 1/3 cup white suga...
