o-h-i-o weather


When I first stepped into the American soil in Detroit I can still remember my reaction, oh wow! This is it! America get ready for Michelle (sounds silly, but I actually said that) one thing on my mind is that, oh what a snowy day,WOW, the airplane just landed and it was cold but yet,I took off my sweatshirt ( weird huh ) its freaking coOld, but i loved it!, people had tons of layers in there wardrobe huh!,don’t they like the cold weather? They’re used to it, how come their not loving it?
Ecclesiastes 3
A Time for Everything
1 There is a time for everything,and a season for every activity under heaven:
days past and im still liking the coldness that the snow brings, it pretty awesome thing that ive ever experienced,oh GOD thank you soo much for this creation, you are above all else, i cannot fathom how powerful you are, the so called " changing seasons " here in america shows the power of our true and living GOD..
praise him alone!

a long fun day

Yesterday was a real good day, we actually woke up late but then decided to take a walk together since the weather outside was real nice, we took a walk to the farm and just praising GOD for the beauty of his creation.went back home and decided to visit the family since the cousins are there to spend thier holidays with our family.We decided to play "RISK" (just click the link if your curious what the game is) since im new to this game, have to observe first and know how to play it an hubby said, im gonna be his "roller", we got a lot of luck since i am the one who roll the dice ( i tell yah it was alot of fun), since im good at it, jacobs brother ask if i could roll the dice for him but hubby jokingly told him "you should get a wife then! " we started the game around 1:30 and finish it around 5:30 pretty long huh but not boring, its fun to fight,conquer and capture some territories from other players.
and the result? we aimed for 1st place but we ended up 2nd place.
not to shabby at all.

a boring day...

i woke up feeling grumpy...(not good)
have to go to an Otolaryngology for them to check up my throat, its been like 4 weeks, since i had this sore in my throat, i hate it, I've been to my doctor thrice, they couldn't figure out whats wrong with my throat thats why they have set up an appoinment for me to an ENT especialist,for them to ultrasound my throat. OH NO!...somethings really wrong..huhuhuhu
So have to wake up early today, but since im feeling grumpy and i dont want to go there by myself, feeling nervous of what will be the outcome of the test, but i already set up my mind if my husband can't take me there, i will cancel my appointment, i know its ridiculous but i prefer to have him by my side, since i feel safe when his with me, but he has to go to work and we thought that he can come home early for the appointment but OH BOY, its turns out he can't take me,My inlaws offer to give me a ride, but i prefer to have my husband on my side, so, i called the office and cancelled my appointment......

o-h-i-o

I am sitting at my home here in Ohio telling you about my life today. My world is a big one, I was born as I was raised in thetropics of the Philippines butnow face the daily weather change of the midwest U.S. I am a woman of many words, speaking both major Filipino dialects(Tagalog and Bisaya) along withimpeccable english and a hint of Japanese,Maybe tomorrow I will learn some Russian, Arabic, or Swahili.No not really, I am actually a wellgrounded humble Christian woman who loves to live my faith following Christ.I thank Him alone, my Creator,for all my talentsincluding my linguisticsskills. I am very much a happily married woman, and for the most part I delight in my new life here in America along with myhandsome young husbandI have dabbled in the personal blogosphere in the past, but now I am extremely excited to make a daily home on this blog ofmine. I want to puta little bit of everything here, my thoughts, my experiences, and maybe even some great advice about being a Filipina-American, and what life is like for mefacing this American experience which is sooo far from my home.However, Ohio is truly my second home, I realize somethingnew everyday.My first day inAmerica I realized what it feels like to start to freeze. When I stepped off that international flight in Detroit in early February it wasco0-ld yet Iloved it, I love the adventure my life has become. Marriage too is quite the adventure. I am a tender spirit yet at the same time I am asurvivor, my name isMichelle Brooks and this is my blog.
