"My ways are not YOUR WAYS...."

I hate this feeling...so many questions on my mind - why and what went wrong? I really don't know the answer....no matter how i keep myself busy, thoughts of the past keep disturbing my sanity...i'm tired of being emotional....Can't help myself but seek help from my one and only dependable friend whom I've ignored in some of the critical decisions in my life...oh, help me GOD!!!

It's true, sometimes "my ways are not Your WAYS." Be My Guide, and help me lead a good life because my ultimate goal is to be with YOU....Searching for my own happiness is never-ending and unattainable....only in YOU can I find true peace and happiness by forgetting myself and finding joy in serving others and expecting nothing in return...Teach me how to love even more, to forgive easily, and to trust once again...

Love is indeed an altar of sacrifice....And you can't find the value of each suffering without the grace of our Lord...

My Lolo Zario's Birthday...

There are a lot people who have influenced my life and my Lolo Zario is one of them. Though he had already joined our Creator few years ago, great memories of him are still vivid on my mind. And I do believe that he's still with me in spirit and he never fails to pray for me.

It's his birthday and I thank God for the chance to be loved by a "LOLO" who has a lot of humor but a caring heart. That's the legacy he has left and it's an inspiration to all of us.

I do miss my Lolo Zario, especially the special love and attention he has given me!!!

It was my debut party, 20 years ago...

One of my happiest moments...

It's one of the touching messages I've ever received, "Life is better when you're happy but life is at its best when other people are happy because of you."

There's a story behind that photo....After few hours of real celebration because it's my birthday (2 years ago)...my friends gave me some honoring...It was Dupong who started being melodramatic with his message, and the rest of the group we're all caught crying...

Showing Love.....

I'm on leave today...and I thought of showing some love to my friends (you know who you are)!!!!

"till my next return...."

My sister who’s working in Singapore came home for a 5-day vacation. We’re all surprised to see her again. Since she arrived, it’s always like a feast in our house. There’s delight in every one’s heart with my sister “Lala” around. It’s a short vacation but well spent with her family.

Saying goodbye is inevitable. There were times that I was already numb when a family member or friend would be leaving. Maybe, I'd just wanted to suppress my real emotion or I got used to it. Last Sunday, I didn’t cry when my sister left again. We just hugged and kissed each other. I heard her saying, “till my next return.”

Missing My Sis...

The thought of giving our family a good life propelled my only sister to face up to the challenges of working abroad. She is an OFW just like my father. Coming from a close-knit family, I admit having suffered from loneliness in the beginning when she decided to leave the country.

Before she left for Singapore, she made a Powerpoint presentation entitled, “The Story of My Life – Evolution.” It’s a collection of my pictures from childhood up to present. It’s hilarious as I view myself evolving from an ugly duckling into a fair lady, with the help of science.

There are times that I really miss her especially when I’m strolling in the mall. I can’t forget her little surprises on my birthdays. She is also gutsy in posing like a sexy star and singing like a diva.

However, almost every weekend, she finds time to call us. There’s a delight in my heart whenever I can hear her voice. Upon hearing her contagious laughter, my longing is instantly replaced with joy.

Burnt-out?

I feel lazy to go to work. My patience to callers grows thinner each day. I easily get tired. I always want to extend my day off. It’s tough, overcoming these feelings of burnt-out. It’s when routine works seem to bore me and dissatisfy me. But I carry on with my day-to-day task because I need a job – to sustain myself and to support my family.

Then I chose to divert my unhelpful thoughts to my blessings in life and blurted out, “Thank God, I still have a job.”
