3 Days of Thanksgiving

A happy and an overwhelming 3rd quarter of International Thanksgiving to God was held at ADD Convention Center in Apalit Pampanga last September 27-29, 2013 which is lead by Bro Eli Soriano at Bro Daniel Razon.

Quarterly Members Church of God International are preparing so much to offer thanksgiving to God. Most of the brethren in the Luzon region are attending in Apalit Pampanga of course not all  have the capacity to go there so they just attend in different locales or coordinating centers including the brethren all over the world. Bro Eli was not at Apalit but we still feel his presence, see and hear him via satellite including the brethren outside the country.

We learned a lot and new topics are opened to us, of course I also take down notes for I will more understand it, with God's help brethren were amazed and feel blessed after the 4 topics were discussed. Aside from that we offer songs of praise to Give thanks to God because we learned that "It is good to give thanks to the Lord, And to sing praises to Your name, O Most High" (Psalms 92:1)

Thanks be to God for His loving and kindness!!!

Photowalk: A walk of click



Friday morning, (September 20, 2013) at exactly 5:00 in the morning where the sky was still dark and you can see no stars but all is full of clouds, I arrived from our locale to went to intramuros for our photowalk. When I am already in the bus going to munoz, I`m sitting beside the window while the strong cold wind was smashing my face, excitedly visualizing on what will happen on that event, making different shots in my mind; Planning to create a picture with a beautiful and and a very nice composition, I will make this and that and while making my fantasy, there was a bit of lightning that come up to my mind that makes me remember that I still don`t know how to get in our meeting place. But fortunately, after I get out in the LRT, I saw some of my classmates so I feel safe. A few minutes later after a not so long distance of walk, with God`s we arrived safe in the meeting place.

After of 2-3 hours of waiting, we finally went to intramuros to take pictures. When I saw a child crying and running I immediately click the shutter button to take the decisive moment, the result was very nice so what I felt was very great, so I take pictures from a low angel, high angle, and crazy angle. I click the shutter button many times to get a nice shot, I am sitting just to take a photo, I use to lay down in the floor just take my best shot. I click the shutter button at any moment just to take a beautiful shot. It was a great honor ehto hold a 10-20 mins. DSLR canon camera, it was an overwhelming experience to take not only a snapshot but a photo with some mixtures of compositions that you can proudly say of, "that is photography" I really appreciate our photowalk because it gives me a lot of meaningful experience.

The friday morning of September 20, 2013 at exactly 5:00 in the morning I am arriving to intramuros that is full of action and adventure was a very unforgettable experience in my life that I will surely treasure.
