Preparation for the Costumes and..etc..

Being busy isn't that big deal as along as you're enjoying on the things that you are doing and as along as you are happy working with people around you.

These past few days are considered as the busiest days for us due to our preparation for the up coming 8th Anniversary of the church which will be done on Sunday, the 5th of August. I miss this kind of life, letting your mind think and letting your body toil for something worth while. 

What does it make us busy ????
Aside from our work in school as teachers from Monday to Friday, we are busy preparing our costumes for our dance and of course practicing for it. Sleeping late every night just to put the sequins on our red outfit and sewing our yellow green costume with our hands made these past 2 weeks very challenging yet very exciting. What makes it exciting???Exciting to what would be the outlook of our costumes using the "trial and error_method" in putting all these thingi in our dress., honestly this is our first time that it's us who really do this stuff. We usually just tell what we want to put on the costumes and the other "kind & creative hands" were the ones who did the job to make it nice and fascinating to look at. We miss "Gilda"..:) the master on this! Yah it is really tiring! :) but we appreciate it much and we enjoy doing this!

routine for the night in the apartment!

Trial & Error method in putting the sequin..:))
serious mode.....where's the thread??? where's the needle???? ouch!!!! my hand. 

And.....in spite of the hectic schedules in school, we managed to find time to do this during our free time.

Teacher: Excuse me, may I go out.....magtahi sa ko!!!hheheh..joke..:)
making the beads for the neck
pssst...we did this after we had our class and after checking all the activities of our kids...:))..heheh

oh no it's almost Sunday....
good thing that we have 2 days of no classes this week, yesterday and today(August 2 & 3) are considered as holidays here in Thailand, I don't really know why????but that's really perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)) we have an overtime mode for the 8 red and 5 yellow green costumes. Thank you Lord! :)

THURSDAY!...We are grateful for the "back-up" of Arm...He came here with Wann just to help us.
Arm to the rescue! putting some patches for the front part of the redss...
Listening and doing the instructions of ARM.
FRIDAY!... the challenge continued....

Joy & Faith with the Make-up Artist....:)
Smokey Eye Makeup...is it okay? or any suggestions???plzz..
this day has been closed with the prayer meeting by the group. May God bless the hands of His children who work for His glory. May God bless the 8th Anniversary of the Cornerstone Hat Yai Church on Sunday. May God's Holy presence be upon us as we celebrate His goodness and great mercy to His people. Be glorified oh Lord and be magnified! Amen

Time to sleep and take a rest....tomorrow will be another challenging day..whole day practice in the church.

Thank You Lord for this day!

Meet the DANCERS...

I thank God for this day! It's Sunday.....
A pose before the worship this morning!
I didn't join the dance team again today. got to join the music team for the worship. it's a blessing to be together with the Thai Team in leading the worship. To God be the glory!

It has been always a blessing too to have Gene and Yvonne in the dance team for without them, there will be only 3 dancers for the tambourine, specially that Faith is out of town again today for her some "monkey business"..lol...am just kidding! she's with her students today in Phuket for the Debate Competition. God bless you sis! Don't forget our "PASALUBONG"...hehehh

Can't share with some patterns of the tambourine with video this time. just been busy with the practice and for the costumes for the dance for the anniversary of the church on Sunday...

i think i just want to introduce the members of dance team this time..:) lol nothing to say anymore. since im always talking about these people, so just allow me to describe them in my simple way of knowing them. Here they are.

start with,
Genebie Faith R. Saratorio-Sajolan
The Beautiful Mommy Gene. She's the sweettie wife of our drummer Joseph and a loving mom of a very intelligent and handsome boy Hyzyd. Aside from an ESL (English as a Second Language) Teacher here in Thailand, she's also an active blogger whom i also look up here in the world of blogging. 

Yvonne Xyzelle Saratorio
Gorgeous Yvonne! She is the sister of Gene. She's still a college student taking up International Business Economics here in Hat Yai. A very soft spoken girl...

Yvonne & Gene
then here comes,
Rolie Jane Lovely P. Tecson

Lovely Lovely! The very jolly and witty gurlly..:) she always makes us laugh. everyone would wonder when she is quiet..:)lol.. but truly, she is a dancer and a worship leader. An ESL Teacher here in Thailand.
Karisse Mae P. Jandayan
Pretty Karisse! the demure gal of the group. i mean the most demure..hahah..with her very modest actions and beauty, you could see a typical Filipina woman. An ESL teacher here in Thailand.

Lovely & Karisse- black & white effect :)

and meet MISS lady in red.....
Faith T. Alegarme
The Stunning FAITH! with her bloody red dress..she wasn't here this morning, that's why i just stole one of her beautiful pics from her album and cropped it..lol....she is the what we call .... "propesyonal" hehehehe.... a very sweet and thoughtful girl. With her entertaining punch lines, she makes the group chuckles. A talented worship leader and musician. An ESL Teacher here in Thailand.

and my Sister,
GC Joy M. Baon
The Amiable JOY! mmmh...am not that sure though..lol..we're three sisters in the family, and i think she is the most friendly and sociable..Now, whether i like it or not, I have to admit she is smarter than me. she got higher score in the latest exam (TOIEC) that we took! :)hahah..and ok, i surrender, she's the most beautiful among the 3 roses...and she's better in dancing. Sorry for comparing.:) but that's true ...She's a Registered Nurse but she is an ESL Teacher here in Thailand temporarily... I HOPE!

and me,
Grace M. Baon
Simply Gracious! a simple creature of God. I love to sing, dance and play some musical instruments. am not good in talking, i prefer to be quiet mostly in the group except if i need to talk or no one won't talk..lol..Am a teacher since then and forever i guess..:) this is my calling. I thank God for the gifts that He bestowed upon me. I live for HIS glory!
Grace & Joy
We the DANCERS, solemnly offer our talents in dancing to Him who sits on the throne, Who was and Who is to come...JESUS!

before i end, let me introduce to you
Renel D. Cabilan
Dazzling Ate REN! A very kindhearted and loving woman. She's not perfect as she always says, but for us, being with her is a blessing. Behind all these pics and videos  that we have is her very supportive and very caring personality. An ESL Teacher as well.......Thanks ate ren again and again...:) 

another pose of the gals this morning

By the way, these are only the Filipino dancers in the church. Hope to introduce the Thai Dancers next time.

God bless!
