back for good

Lately, I’m having a hard time talking to “Him”. I cannot find the right words to say, I forgot how intensely I talked to “Him” before, but I still remember how it feels to talk to “Him” really deeply, to feel “Him” around, embracing me, whispering words of encouragement into my ear and telling me “it’s gonna be alright…”.

So, the other night, when I slept really late (around 5 am), I said to “Him”, “let me feel it once more, I want the passion to come back, tap my shoulders so that I can learn by heart”.

After an hour, I was awakened, and I knew it was “Him”, patting me on the shoulder. He hit me really hard, I cried, and I said, “Wow, that was fast!” Though the occurrence that awakened me that Sunday morning was rather a bad news, (a petty yet quite painful incident, I should say), I knew it was “Him”, I wanted to tell “Him”, “why this way?” But I know “He’s” unquestionable, everything “He” does is absolute, and so I just talked to “Him”, and after a relatively long time, at last, “I was able to “really” pray again”. I realized how much I missed “Him”.

Later that night, before going to bed, I was almost certain that my predicament will be over… and so it was.

…then I prayed some more.


God uses problems to DIRECT you.
Sometimes God must light a fire under you to get you moving. Problems often point us in a new direction and motivate us to change. Is God trying to get your attention? "Sometimes it takes a painful situation to make us remember HIM."
Proverbs 20:30

ding-dong-ding

Young girls, when asked their future ambitions, would typically say a doctor, a teacher or a flight attendant. But most of us won’t be. They are merely fantasy for some of us, either we had a change of heart or we simply are not qualified or we did not strive for it.

So for those girls who persevered to carry on the childhood dream, you are most probably out there smiling.

And one of them I should say, I’m so proud, is my cousin Jila.
She passed the training, and is now a certified flight attendant for an International Airline.

I really enjoyed her Bienvenida/Despedida party. I know she did, too. I called it bienvenida/despedida party coz she went back just to pack her stuufs then leave the next day! Hectic!
During the happy get together, she told a joke about the Attendants script upon landing on the airport, in Filipino version, It goes like this:
DING-DONG-DING!
Maligayang paglapag po sa pandaigdigang istasyong pampaliparan ng Ninoy Aquino!
With matching voice moderation!

I just hope for all the best for my cousin.

Enjoy your trip “around the world”!!!...luvyah!

jittery me

I know I said to someone that I would post pictures of jeepneys. My traveling experience everyday, from home to work and back, but it’s too complicated, why is that? There is a 70 percent chance that you will be aboard a jeepney with a hold-upper or a robber, so if you put out a camera-phone or a digital camera, you are most probably going to be the primary target, and you are in big trouble if that happens. That’s too bad for bloggers like me, sometimes, you stumble on something nice to post but you cant get a picture of it coz your camera might be snatched, it can happen anywhere, believe me, sometimes, even in front of a police station. Only here!

But Maria, I will still try my best because I also really want to do that, I would just try to minimize coffee intake, it engenders a feeling of jumpiness in me.

lateness

It was a very rainy day today, I was soaking wet when I got to the office, and I was an hour and a half late, it’s not because I went home late last night, actually I left the house the usual time, It’s the hard rain, the train that I missed, and the traffic that caused it. Ohhhhh!! Another cut on the pay slip.

It was actually flooding at the 2nd floor of the LRT Carriedo station

The train that I just missed, still running though :)

everybody loves the devil

Finally saw “The Devil Wears Prada” at Glorietta. I love the movie and the characters, Anne Hataway and the devil herself, Meryl Streep. I mean, yes Miranda, the character that Meryl streep portrayed was a “bitch” but it seems true that the more “bitch” you are, the more people would want to please you. I’m not saying it’s a good thing, cause, even if she makes everybody bow to her, and make everybody speachless whenever she says “That’s all…”, she’s still unhappy.

I must say that women would definitely enjoy the movie, the actors were great, the wardrobes are fantastic, it will definitley make you want to wear something extremely fashionable, Prada for instance. It’s not all that, you will definitely learn something from the story.

I watched the movie with my girlfriends, we really enjoyed it. After that, we had Mocca frap at Starbucks Greenbelt. Thanks Chuz, well, he just went there to pick up thets, and to buy us some frap, it was a girls night out afterall.

a walk to consider

The interesting walk along Baywalk, Roxas Blvd (after the bday bash). My sister was dwarfed under this enormous coffee cup. There was also a giant bottle of coke but we were not able to get on that part because the seniors are already complaining, to think that this walk was their Idea :)

This one’s a real kid; I mean he’s not a midget or something. And let me tell yah, he’s got really cool moves, especially when "the price is right"

Happy Birthday Kambal!!!

My two favorite aunts celebrated their 56th birthday. We went to Max’s Malate for the celebration, and the food was over-flowing. We had Kare-kare, crispy pata, boneless bangus, lechon kawali, sinigang na hipon, fried chicken, and buko pandan for desert. After dinner, we went for a stroll along baywalk. It wasn’t a long walk but since we were walking with senior citizens, it took us an hour. (hungry again!!!)


What can I say about them, well, one thing for sure, they are both “dalagang-pilipina” and “matimtimang-birhen” haha! Certified mamas-girl, especially auntie Sol, I know how hard it was for them when Nanay bid so-long, but that’s life, I know Nanay is happy wherever she is. She’s so lucky to have had wonderful daughters. I’m lucky as well. Both are very young at heart, they love to go out, watch movies, eat out and do whatever. They do not have all the riches in the world but they were over-flowing with love, and they are so much fun to be with!

Happy Birthday you guys! I wish for many more to come. I hope you still find Prince charming, it’s never too late! Luvyah!

mmmm! yummm!

*next time, our walk at roxas blvd*
