Dark Mind by Jennifer Chase

   

Dark Mind

 A Serial Killer Plagues an Island Paradise... Vigilante detective Emily Stone continues her covert pursuits to find serial killers and child abductors, all under the radar while shadowing police investigations. Emily searches for an abducted nine-year-old girl taken by ruthless and enterprising slave brokers. Following the clues from California to the garden island of Kauai, she begins to piece together the evidence and ventures deep into the jungle. It doesn’t take long before Emily is thrown into the middle of murder, mayhem, and conspiracy. Locals aren’t talking as a serial killer now stalks the island, taking women in a brutal frenzy of ancient superstitions and folklore. Local cops are unprepared for what lies ahead. In a race against the clock, Emily and her team must identify the killer before time runs out.*

Reading dark mind is like watching a movie. You can't take your eyes off of it co'z you don't like to miss anything.  The author indeed captivates its readers desire and lull them into deep reading the book in just one sitting. I like how she enticed her readers with all the suspense and thrill the novel gives.

Sick again :(

My baby has cough and colds again, we actually thought it's because she's cutting her first tooth reasons why last three days she has light fever, but as days went by and I don't see any tooth coming out and cough and colds are getting harder it made me think that this must be something else. The thing is.. I don't want to bring her to her doctor anymore co'z it means more taking of antibiotics.

Hubby is blaming the dust from the constructions going behind our house. We are thinking that my baby is having allergy because of the dust the constructions made. But what could we do? we can't just tell them to back off and leave their work behind. Goodness... there is no else we could go to as well to escape the dust.

This actually made me think  of the business we thought of doing in the city. If we have the business I might have somewhere to go to during the day and I'll bring my baby with me. But the thing is the business we've been planning to do is almost forgotten because we don't know any equipment leasing to help us up start the new business, and one thing more we can't find a good place for the business too.

How I wish  that the Lord will indeed open up an opportunity for us to continue a business that has been established... the same business that I want.. a "coffee shop".

Thinking and dreaming

There were times at night when I went to bed thinking of places to go specially now that it's the first month of the year and planning are of what most people do. I can feel that the summer is soon because of the sweat I have and it makes me think of somewhere cold but with a hot bath tub in the shower room where I could just soak myself in warm water and relax.
Wondering though that if ever God willing I've got a bigger house and got a bigger bathroom, I might buy a hot tub and hot tub covers so that when no one is using it we could cover it to prevent it from getting dirty and easily looking old.  I don't want to think that I want to get rich co'z that's all people wants in life but I want to feel and experience (the good one) the rich people life :).
As of now... I want to be contented of what I have to eliminate negative thoughts and feelings that I may glorify the God who gave me all that I have.

Happy Thursday everyone! :)

Loving thy neighbor

...is stressful and hard.
Moving to our new house is quite a challenge. Our neighbors challenge our Christian character. It was at first hard for me cause they really drove me mad and I faced them with my earthly-manly fist. After being foolish and all.. I realized again who I am and what is my purpose.
Hubby on the other hand  is a very downhearted and calm person that is a very opposite of me. He tried to get friends with our neighbors even though he gets some not good feedback from them, but still he tries to smile even he doesn't get any... even "monalisa smile" back. This act of my hubby humbled me in a way. Sometime I wish I'm like him.
I'm just thankful that God is good even in my sometimes not good attitude.  I pray that I'll be able to love them as Jesus do.

acoustic guitar

Hubby received a guitar as a gift from a friend, the guitar was not that new though but a little fixing done and all is good. I am not surprised if hubby received  good gifts from friends co'z he is a generous person with a very kind heart. He now own two guitar: one is electric and the is acoustic. He is now planning to teach his younger brother how to play guitar since he is a good lead-guitar player.

Hubby is a hard person sometimes when it comes to his treasured stuff or important gadgets co'z his motto is: "I cannot have those anytime I want co'z I don't have the money to buy all the time, so better yet take care of them". It was at first hard for me to understand why he has to scold me whenever I accidentally do something  to his things, but now that I got his point, I just don't mind anymore if he takes time looking at his guitar, wiping the dirt and carefully folding the guitar straps and neatly put it in a box together with the other guitar gadgets.

The other day I put some of his stuff in the stock room but I have to tell him that I was the one who did it to keep my in-laws out of trouble :)

..the guys was here...

Nico and the Sumaya bros. (raymond and roldan) visited us yesterday. It's good to see and have them in our house. It's actually unusual to see some of the young people from church will come to visit co'z we are far away from where the live. We spend five hundred pesos for fare going and coming to where they are, but since they have a bike and they wanted to see their "kuya Doy and Ziah" the long bike trip did not matter to them anymore... and they came :)
They watched movies from ten am till two pm :). I'm glad though that they have fun.

Discussion, coffee and ziah

Hubby came home late the other day with a news, he said that our credit card bill has finally came and it's more than the amount we expected. So we talked about it for a long time and was still our topic the next day. We sometimes got annoyed of each other along the course of our talked but most of the time we laughed though co'z we always told each other that we should control the use of it, but due to our needs especially with a baby we can't help but use it. If we don't talked about the things we usually do the whole day.... we talked about our credit card expenses.

Most of the expenses we have for our recent credit card bill where all December use (meaning those we spend for Christmas season), and the sad thing about it is I haven't got any gift for hubby yet and thinking of a titanium watches would mean pain in our bank account again when the bills came. So now... I am trying my very best to control or cross cut first just to lessen bills for the next moth.

I hope and pray that more blessings of my baby day to day needs and groceries for us this month so that we won't have to use our credit card even just for the month. :) (hope the Lord hear my prayer and grant the desire of my heart).
