Random thoughts - Monday: 25-02-2013

Joshua 1:9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go. (NIV) Everyday, has always been a bitter- sweet experience since the day I offered one aspect of my life to the Lord. He's been with me and had shown faithfulness to His promise at all times. I admit, it wasn't a perfect walk at all, but He never fails to amaze me in times  I couldn't cling to anybody else but Him. His provisions in my life are like the  miracles we read in the bible during the old testament days, only this time its performed in a modern, non- historic way.  Slowly He teaches life's lessons and let me go on in life as He held me by my hand, never totally letting me go. There were times I went astray, still He holds my hands slightly sliding it away from mine then drawing me near when I needed to. I run out of words to describe this feeling when all I can say is THANK YOU. Thank you for this w

Thank you! (an early morning praise)

Woke up at around 3 o'clock in the morning, and for whatever reason I started browsing for songs in you tube which was defaulted to a praise and worship sung by Hill song.  Next thing I knew, I was crying over this song by The Katinas titled: Thank you . The words just started filling me up until I burst into tears and ended up praising Him for all the blessings I had this 2013. Only a few days has passed since the year started, but then again, feels like years! Because  I knew in my heart, It'll take years ( maybe less than a year ) to gain all the things I have now.  Surely, when a window closes another door opens up. I will whole-heartedly testify to that truth! And I cant stop thanking HIM for opening up a new door to let someone in me and gab's  life.  Setting up a career goal is not necessary for me right now, because of a new opportunity that opened up for me in an unexpected manner. Thank you Lord for Business!  John 4:21-24 Jesus said to her, “Woman, believ

Random thoughts 2013: I love shopping!

Today, I found myself engulfed at shopping. But this time its much more different than the last time I did stroll around the mall. My frailty cannot be hidden the moment I pass by these stores for shoes and nice tops. And believe it or not, I don't get tired of going back on these stores just to check out the apple of my eye (whatever that is.. ) My strolling ended the moment i felt cramps at my feet and my eyelids started dropping because of too much sleepiness. Then I found myself going home with a bag full of stuff from National bookstore. Yep! Notebooks, pad paper, another set of pencils, bond paper and art papers for gab! Only then have I realized how much my life had turned around now that my little gab is growing. I came home with a glad heart knowing how much I've changed in this matter. I thank God for having gab in my life! 1 Thessalonians 5:18 Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you

2012 Year Ender : Unchangeable, Unworkable.

Here I am, writing a blog about change at 5 o'clock in the morning. I've been prepping myself up for this very moment I can write about my 2012, and talk about CHANGE and how much everybody loves the word. There are a lot of things that happened the past year that made me who I am today, and for a change, I decided not to give an overview about it. If someone asks me -- "looking back, what are the things you thought you might do better in the past?" I will answer -- "Given the chance to go back, I will do ALL of it again, the same way I did it..." I'm not saying that I've done things perfect, in fact it was not at all. But these imperfections, made me a better person today and they moved me. So the next time I almost fall for the same mistake, I know exactly the path it will turn about. That's when The Unchangeable and the Unworkable takes HIS place. This 2013, I would like to uphold to this bible verse:   Numbers 23:19 (NIV) God is not a ma

Christmas in a child's eyes

Image
When I was younger, Christmas for me is the time I get to spend time with my loving  family, beloved cousins and relatives I rarely see within a year. Growing up, I continue to live up to that yearly Christmas ritual without expecting any material things from them. I'm not being a hypocrite when I say "I'm not expecting anything material from them " but its the last thing that comes up in my mind. The First, is the wonderful feeling of being with my cousins and spend time with them which only happens on a limited occasion-- one of which is CHRISTMAS day. Now that I grew older I see Christmas in a different light. Somehow, the innate child in me was unraveled  as I think of the things that would make my gab happy. My happiness is somehow intertwined with my child's as if it is my own. Having gab in my life if the most wonderful gift CHRIST has ever given me. And I will forever be grateful as I continue to see the upcoming Christmas the way a child sees it.

Dear Gab-- mama's love letter

October 15, 2012 4:30 PM- MNL Dear Gabby ,  Today I finished making your Notebook #1 ( for the 3rd time ) I don't see any problems buying another notebook and lots of white bond paper and art materials ( I enjoyed doing it, just so you know :) ) As long as you use your notebook the way it is meant to be used.  I remember the very first notebook we made was all sweaty with water when you came home from school.. only to find out, that you pour out water all over your bag. I bought another set of notebooks, bond papers, colored papers and plastic cover ( including  a new school bag and separate lunch box so as to separate your baon from your school things ).  The second Notebook #1 , was eventually filled with lots of notes that you copied from the blackboard ( good job!) But I do sincerely hope that there'll be a big improvement with your hand writing though.. ** with further practice, I'm sure you can write smaller letters.  Unfortunately, we have to replace t

Memoirs -- A smile with friends.

I never imagined myself being with a group of people who can fill out the missing pieces a loving partner used to give me. There is a sense of contentment whenever I'm with these people-- they were my BREAKFAST TEAM . Since dragon days, everyday had been a tug of whether to go to work or not , or to resign or not to resign . Every working day itself is the most challenging part of my everyday work life. Deciding whether to go out for a quick break or not makes it more harder. The exciting part? comes in when we find our way to make it through our yosi break- con- 30 minute lunch break together even though some of us has lots of emails to respond to, an internal call, conference call, activations. Escalations??-- Who the heck cares? sneaking out with friends for a quick laugh during yosi breaks is one of the few things I look forward to every single day I go to work. LAUGHTER - has been my perfect breather. There were times when I cant afford to go downstairs to avail of that Q
