Mr. Pio EspanolAs I have mentioned in my earlier post, me and hubby attended the Kerygma Conference 2010 held at Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas Convention Center located at E. Quirino Street, Davao City. We arrived there just in time for the schedule which is 8:00 o'clock in the morning.
At the start, I was a little bored because it did not start right away. There were reminders flashed on the screen like putting off the cellphone while the conference is going on, not sleeping during the conference. The sponsors for the event were also flashed on the big two screens beside the stage.
It was almost 9:00 o'clock already that the conference started. At the start, there were singing of praise and dancing. I was very excited when I first saw Bo Sanchez in person. I have always been his fan and he really is a good speaker. Everyone listened when he speaks. He told about the famous story in the bible, The Prodigal Son. He talked about how Jesus loved us so much and that his love is all-embracing. He loves us regardless of who and what we are. Honestly, I can't get enough of Bo Sanchez. I want more of his talk but he has to give way to other speakers.
Then there was speaker Brother Pio who talked about family. He shared about his family and how he's able to raise an amazing children. Next speaker was brother Obet Cabrillas who talked about the secrets of being a happy catholic.
Chad Borja rendered a song " The Prayer" and made a sharing about his faith experience when he was diagnosed with throat cancer. He pointed out that we should not stress ourselves and that we should not "sweat the small stuff". Life is too short to allow ourselves to be stressed out by these petty things. He is now based in Davao City and owns the Seraph productions.
The conference was a huge success with an attendees of 2, 300 people. They said that once a conference is started in a particular place, it will go on every year. I'll definitely attend again next year if there is one.

Christmas Bazaar at Gaisano Mall
Have you finished decorating your house with beautiful Christmas decors friends? I know a lot of you have already done beautifying your homes with Christmas decorations since Christmas eve is fast approaching.
In our neighborhood, most of the houses have already their trees and decors. Our street turns into a glowing myriads of colors when the brightness of the day gives way to the night.
But I know that there are also those who are still wanting to add to the decors that they have put up in their houses. If you are one of those and if you are in Davao City, you can go to the Gaisano mall and the Christmas bazaar is still going on. They have a lot of Christmas decor display at the atrium ranging from Christmas trees, replicas of Santa Claus, lanters and more decorations for your trees like balls and many others.
Here are some photos...
