BAGUIO

This was my second time to visit baguio. I had fun. We (td staff) stayed at the sanctuary for three days and two nights for free... of course not absolutely free, PBS paid everything. All we had to do is eat, play, visit baguio sites and have fun!

sharing my thoughts

What is happening with me? The more I look for myself, the more blurred vision I get. Whenever I try to figure things out, the more confusion I get. The more I trt to have a grip of what I want to be, the more uncertainties I get. But then, after realizing these things, there's always one thing I would ask from you Lord. That You will be with me. That wahatever will happen in my life in this lifetime, You would always guide me and lead the way wherever life would take me. That's the only assurance I need. Just that Lord and I will be comforted. (01-19-2010) / 16:00

I was reminded this morning that we, Filipino Christians have so many brothers and sisters all over the world who have the same faith, who believes with the same God we believe in yet do not enjoy the same freedom as we do. How lucky are we to be in a community where we are free to utter every words of praise for our Lord God! I just realized, I was privileged with this kind of freedom and yet most of the time I ignore it. I've kept this freedom and kept the word of God in me. I can't even remember when was the last time I shared Jesus? Was it because I'm selfish? or I'm too numb to feel other people's longing for Jesus? Why am I like this? This is embarrassing! Lord forgive me for I have not been a good Christian.

...I should have stayed. Maybe we could have settled things. i should have calmed myself and cleared my mind before i talked to you. i should have thought of the consequence that giving you up means letting you drip out of my life. But then, if i did not do it, i wouldn't realize how important you are. i wouldn't understand that a relationship is not merely satisfying each other but more importantly sharing your life and yourself with each other. But I failed. I did not understand. I'm sorry. (01-20-2010)

Last night i dreamed of you. I mean i had a dream and you were there. At first we are not talking. But after a moment of silence we began kissing each other and we started asking "what happened?" We asked why our relationship ended that way. Then we began confessing, clearing things between us. Then i woke up.

Isn't it ironic? I dreamed of you on the 26th of this month. Our day. Does this mean something? It was also last night that i realized I could admire other guys but still at the end of the day I would still choose you. That despite of the attraction i have with other guys, it's still you whom i would want to kiss, to hold and to love all over again. Is this too much? Am i not facing the truth that we have separate ways already? Last night i really thought it was true. Your kiss, your voice, your touch, they all seemed real to me. i really thought you were with me. But sadly, it was just a dream. (01-27-2010) / 09:20

No matter how much we struggle in this life, God will give us peace deep in our hearts. Peace that will make us go on. Peace that will make us live life.

The caregroup chat that we had just this lunch gave me the assurance that God had given me peace. And I have that peace right now. That in the midst of my solidarity, God is with me. That I am not lacking of anything. And that God hears and listens to my prayers. And all these prayers will be answered in God's time. Timely and perfect. (01-28-2010) / 13:15

light-headed

Ten years ago i dreamed of finishing college and working. Ten years ago, I asked help from God. I asked Him to make me strong for my family. I asked Him to always lead my way. I asked Him comfort, because I was down then... Ten years later, I realized just now, that He listened to me. And not just that, He answered my prayers.

Despite of the doubts i have inside me, the Jesus I knew, never turned His back on me. I may have had sad experiences in life, i may have had pain, but then, Jesus was there comforting me every now and then. He was there teaching me, and was never tired of repeating lessons I hardly learned.

I may be sad and hurting but still, God is helping me to cope up.

I'm glad i have a faithful God.

I'm glad I have Jesus(^.^)

wedding bells

















january 6, 2010

olazo-balor nuptial

it was really a nice day... seeing your friend walking down the aisle. it was my first day to actually witness a wedding of someone close to me... i've been a flower girl before but i couldn't remember the details... but haydee and eric's wedding was different. i was there, seeing them and hearing their vows of loyalty and faithful love. so touching and hopeful of their future together. i almost cried. though i am happy for them, i feel like crying. i was thinking then, after this what else would change?

its pretty ironic... when you're just looking back and evaluating things that happened around you, you'll just realize that life changes so fast, but then looks so slow when you want something to happen...

...someday it would be my turn to give my vow to the man i love or maybe that someday would never come. well' i can never tell. i'll just put my hopes to God. that He had made a wonderful love story for me. Well, i'm still hopeful though, but this time there are still lots of things to be settled. first things first. (^.^)

another day

another day... ordinary but different...
what can i say?
i just do exactly what i just did yesterday...
proofreading...
but this time with a twist...
answering phone calls while keeping my focus on what i am doing...
entertaining visitors and callers politely...
its hard, but fun...
and i always try to put love on it...
in everything i do...
and i feel fine...
just by thinking i did something right...
nightnight....(-.-)
