Food Distribution & Sharing God’s Love sa ating mga kababayang PWD, elderly, street kids, homeless, at less fortunate sa Quezon City w/ Tita Jenneth, Mama Uni, Lauren & Domingo (March 25, 2019) 🍽️❤️🍛🙏😻
Nakapag-pray at nakapag-share kami ng love ni Jesus sa ilan sa mga nabigyan namin ng pagkain. Kami ang na-bless sa mga nakasalamuha namin sa kalye ng QC, lalo na sila Kuya Luis, Kuya Edward at Ate Teresita! 🤴👑👸
- *Nakakabilib si Kuya Luis, isang street vendor na naka-wheelchair. Masipag siya sa pagbebenta ng mga candy. At masinop siya dahil tinatakpan niya ang kanyang mga paninda para wag itong alikabukin! 🤴 Natuwa ako na siya ang unang nabigyan namin ng food nang umikot kami kasi dati pa ako namamangha sa kanya. Bumili ako sa kanya dati ng mga kendi noong minsang nadaanan ko siya. 🍬 Kung makita niyo si Kuya Luis, bili rin kayo para ma-encourage siya!
- *Nakakatuwa si Kuya Edward, isang masahista na bulag. 🤴 Kami ang dapat mag-pray para sa kanya… pero nauna siya na ipag-pray kami! 🙏 May kakaibang prayer request din siya sa amin ni Tita Jenneth at Mama Uni: “Sana ay makakita ako… pero sana pag mulat ko ng mata ko ay maganda ang makita ko. Kasi kung pangit din lang ay di bale na lang!” 😂🤣😹 HAHAHA! 🤣 Ang sagot ko: “Kuya Edward, sayang at di mo kami nakikita ngayon kasi ang GANDA-GANDA namin!!!” 😂😜🤣 Ang lakas mag-joke ni Kuya Edward pero ako ay di nag-jo-joke na maganda kami lol. 😹
- *Kahanga-hanga rin si Ate Teresita, isang matandang street vendor. 👸 Nagsisikap pa rin siyang magbenta ng mga biscuits at candy kahit na siya ay 74 years old na. 🍪🛒🍬 At ang ganda pa rin ng kanyang ngiti at ang lawak ng kanyang tawa kahit di madali ang buhay. 💖 Ang cute-cute niya kasi kinilig siya nung nag-video kami tungkol sa kanyang tindahan hehe. 😻 Bili kayo ng biskwit at kendi sa masayahing si Ate Teresita kung madaanan niyo siya!
Simpleng activity lang ang aming Food Distribution kung saan kami ay nag-tricycle, naglakad at umikot para humanap ng puwedeng bigyan ng pagkain. Kaya nakakatuwa na di inaasahang may ilang naka-kuwentuhan kami sa aming mga nakilala. ❤️ Maliban kina Kuya Luis, Kuya Edward at Ate Teresita, nakapag-distribute din kami ng food sa iba pang street kids, homeless persons at elderly persons.
Thank you kay Tita Jenneth at Mama Uni sa idea at sa effort para magluto at magpamigay ng menudo with rice. 🍳 Sa totoo lang, sila ang nagplano at naghanda at ako ay participant lang hehe. Pero salamat kasi, kahit na sa kanila talaga ang credit para sa Food Distribution na ito, sinabi nila na ito ay aking post-birthday giving activity. 🎂 Alam kasi nila na medyo disappointed ako na di ako nakapag-birthday outreach or kahit birthday date with a street kid noong February, gaya noong ibang mga taon. Kaya ito ang pagkakataon na makapagpasaya kami ng ibang tao sa maliit na paraan. Di na mahalaga kung anong date, basta go na! 💃 Pati sa tricycle ride, go rin ako hehe!🚲
Salamat din kay Tita Jenneth sa post-birthday dinner treat sa Max’s Restaurant pagkatapos ng aming Food Distribution. 🍝🍗🌯 Pati kami ay busog din! (Yup, hanggang ngayong March ay may mga family & friends pa rin na gustong humabol at mag-celebrate hehe 😍).
Salamat sa aming staff na si Domingo sa pagsama sa amin at sa pagbuhat ng mga pagkain. 💪
At siyempre, salamat kay Lord Jesus at sa aming pamilya at mga kaibigan sa lahat ng biyaya at pagmamahal na nagbibigay sa amin ng inspirasyon na ipasa rin ang biyaya kahit sa simpleng paraan sa ating kapwa. 💕 While I don’t always post about it when we do stuff for others, naisipan ko to do so this time to thank and encourage everyone who has shown kindness to us. Maraming salamat po!
Excited din akong i-post ito dahil natutuwa kami kina Kuya Luis, Kuya Edward at Ate Teresita. 💖 Nakaka-inspire talaga sila!
Meowhugs & foodie love from Lauren, Mama Uni, Cutie the Cat & Cute-ings! 👟😻🍽️
*Our photos with Kuya Luis and Ate Teresita were taken with their permission. 📷 Kuya Edward prefers not to have a picture of his face taken so I just took a photo of his cane instead. We didn’t ask or take photos of the other folks we gave food to anymore, out of respect for their current condition.

“Welcome to “Lauren’s Family Birthday 2019” Series! 💝🎂🏊🌴🎁👸😻🤴🍽️🌊👑🌞💃 I will be sharing about my birthday adventures with my awesome family in this series. Thanks to all my amazing & loving fairy godfathers & godmothers – my lolas & lolos, my Mama Uni, my Papa Boy, my titos & titas & the rest of the family in the Philippines, US & Australia – for the unexpected birthday surprises & greetings! 🤴💖👸 I was originally planning to celebrate simply & quietly as usual, but you all made my birthday extra special this year with your unexpected birthday treats, gifts & dates, and more importantly, with your love, your genuine concern for my health & well-being, and your presence. 💕 And through our fun conversations, foodie bonding & crazy moments. 🥤🍽️😹 You made a big difference, not just because you cheered me up on my birthday, but also because you lifted up my spirits just when I needed it. Nakakagaan at nakakataba ng puso ang encouragement niyo during this challenging time when I have health concerns & when it’s easy to be discouraged sometimes in spite of my efforts to stay positive. Kaya maraming salamat sa inyong tangible reminders that I am loved by God & by our family. 🌞 Mama Uni & I love you guys with a special love. 😻❤️🤗
Thank you also to everyone, my family & friends, for the birthday greetings & wishes! 🎂💕😘 I appreciate each & every birthday greeting, whether in person or via text, call, video chat or FB/social media. 💌 Kulang lang ng snail mail. 😂 Haha joke, oks lang yun! To be honest, I didn’t really expect many people to greet me kasi I haven’t been that visible or active socially in real life and online for over a year. Plus, I myself haven’t been that good at birthday greetings & remembering special occasions lately lol. 😅 So I appreciate na you didn’t take it to heart. Salamat sa inyong pagbati! ❤️ I will do my best to reply to each & every birthday greeting & message gradually. ✏️
And of course, thank you to Jesus for another year & for my life & the lives of the people (& the cats!) around me. 🌞 The Lord is teaching me to value each new year & each new day now more than ever. And that’s a good thing, because I now savor each new day & each new experience more and more. 🌳 Yung food though ay di na kailangang ituro sa aking i-savor kasi matagal ko nang sina-savor lol. 😂
We love you all! 💕 Birthday & burpday meowhugs from Lauren, Mama Uni & Cutie the Cat. 🤗🎂😻❤️🐈”
