Punot Restaurant

Been seeing a lot of reviews on the opening of Punot Restaurant located at the Boardwalk. Whats not to love about Filipino food?

Bryan and I headed to the Boardwalk for lunch today. We were not disappointed.





Started with the Clam Chowder with pesto. Light and a bit lack luster. Good for 2-3 people. Lots of seafood bits.




The Callos was a different dish altogether. Good for 2 people, done cleanly with chunky tomato sauce and slightly spiced chorizo. Very flavorful! This was a delight.




The grilled platter came highly recommended by the waitress. Two thumbs up for the yummy squid. Tender and seasoned nicely.

My first impression is above par and would definitely come back for more dishes to try. The rice platter solo was actually pretty big. They didn't use a cup, if you get my drift.

Priced fairly. Ground and 2nd levels are airconditioned. Restrooms pretty clean.

Who do you say I am?

Jesus asked His disciples once, “But who do you say that I am?” How you answer this question depends on how you see Jesus. And how you see Jesus will determine how and what you receive from Him. So see Him as your God, as everything He claims to be in His Word, and He will do mighty works in your life!

Twice the adventure

May 3, 2013:

May 4, 2013 :
 
 It hasn't been an easy road the second time around.  But as always, God has the best timing.  Completely out of left field and against the odds.  He made it happen just like that.

At a time when I was wallowing in self-pity and boredom over my 10 day confinement, little did I realize there was a miracle taking shape inside.  How cool is that?

I was planning a trip to Singapore with highschool friends, Joy and Emeelou, this Thursday.  Bryan was planning a trip to Hong Kong in June for my birthday, too.  I guess this is definitely a sign to take it slow for the next few months.  

Though it was hoped for, but circumstances pointed to a miss for this month. Hah!  

I am just filled with awe and wonder at how God could plan this and bless us with another wonderful being.  I still stare at Dani in wonderment each time.  And I do hope I continue to do so all the days of our lives.  In my eyes, there is nothing more beautiful.  The embodiment of how my God is so amazing in a tiny little body.  Such a little soul has brought so much depth to this family already in such a short time.

I do hope for a boy this time around.  But then again, our future lies in His hands.  He knows what is to come and what we need.  So I am not going to question his choices on the matter.  All I pray for is the health of the new baby and myself.

Dani now has an ally in life.
 
"Do you hear what these children are saying?" they asked him. "Yes," replied Jesus, "have you never read, " 'From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise' ?" - Matt. 21 : 16

 I prayed for this child, and the LORD has granted me what I asked of him.- 1 Sam. 1 :27

Upon studying for verses for this entry, I came upon these lessons from  http://www.biblestudytools.com/concordances/torreys-topical-textbook/parents.html :

PARENT'S DUTY TO THEIR CHILDREN IS:
  • To tell them of Gods judgments Joel 1:3

A new beginning?

Yesterday marked a new day of God's greatness. Today, in a few hours, we will try to get it on paper to help us make it even more real.

My God is God. Though I am so unworthy, He gives me new joys and a hopeful future.

Our future is brighter and stronger with Him at the lead. My heart is filled with happiness. Dani will have a partner in life.

May my Lord, my God be honored in our lives always! He deserves all our praises and exhaltation!
