updates

In my everyday living, there would always be a time that I would think of blogging. My mind would usually register the opening sentences for my post, only to lose track of what I would really want to write about after a few seconds. And at times when I can freely write, when Internet connection is readily available, I seem to lose everything I have thought to write.

And just so I could update you of what I have been busy with lately, be it in thoughts or in deeds, here is a list of random things that keeps me occupied:

1. Life has been busy at work, but things are starting to slow down now. Yipee! :)

2. Remember the good thing that Husband and I are working on? Well, we had to prepare some documents and had to undergo some check ups. *wink*

3. Since the last swimming we had, our weekends were always spent at home with the family. The last weekend though was the most uneventful because I was down with migraine again. :( And it was too bad yet I couldn't do anything but apply cold compress on my head because I am allergic to most pain relievers. I even spent the entire Monday in bed.

4. Husband and I usually daydream of how our lives together will be when we finally get to go to the land down under... *wink*

missed you,

would this be my last take this summer?

It took us around an hour and a half braving the heavy rain on our way home to the apartment. We left Husband's place earlier than usual because we would like to avoid getting caught up in traffic in case rain would pour... however, it seemed like we went head on with it! It's a good thing that Husband knows a few alternate routes, we were able to avoid the slightly flooded roads.

But driving in the midst of the heavy rain was just fine. Really! because earlier we had so much fun enjoying the sun, that Husband and I are all so tan again!

We had long been wanting to visit the Momarco Resort. It's just some minutes away from our place in Baras. We were delighted with the place. The spring-water pool is big enough to accommodate big groups of guests. Being there is like being one with nature again... it's a very good place to visit when one wants to unwind or just simply relax.

Entrance fee is at P250.00 for all aged 4 and up (day tour until 6PM), the smallest cottage is at P600.00 - enough to accommodate 10 people. They also have rooms for guests who would like to stay overnight. Guests may bring in food but with a corkage fee of P50/her for all aged 18 and up.

For more info, please visit their official site here.

way behind...

Every now and then, I log onto my blogger account to see if I have comments to moderate (though I haven't been updating lately) or new posts to read from blogs that I follow. It has only been 2 days since I last checked in and I have been missing quite a lot on my reading already.

I hope to read all your posts although I know my comments would be really late already.

Haaaayyyy.... life is so busy these days.

i'm so glad he won

What can I say??? Two seasons in a row, the contestant I was rooting for was declared the Idol!

I am just so happy that Kris Allen made it. I hope that his success will have NO BOUNDARIES. By the way, I think he sang NO BOUNDARIES better the second time.

it comes when i least expect it...

This was supposed to be posted last Tuesday night, after I have cleaned up the house after a mini party with my colleague-friends in celebration of my birthday. It was such a lovely day that I felt so inspired and blessed, that I have written this. However, when I was about to post it, it turned out that I don't have any credit left in my pre-paid Internet connection. I had to wait until I had time again to sign in and post it. And now is the time.

GOD IS GOOD... ALL THE TIME. ALL THE TIME... GOD IS GOOD.

Yesterday (Monday), I received a good news, but I was not attentive enough to realize that it was indeed a very good news.

Later this afternoon (Tuesday), when my busy day at the office was about to end, the good news was pressed on me again. This time, I was confronted with the good news in total surprise.

It was around August of 2007 when Husband and I started working out on this thing, which could change our lives and our future. Every step we took, we were able to receive the results earlier than we expected it to come. But the recent good news is the record breaker. We were just expecting for a status report, instead we received another step to take on, which brings us closer to our goal. We have prepared ourselves for this step to come sometime in October this year, but it came just in time for my birthday, which is five months in advance of our set deadline.

I have never doubted God’s faithfulness, but I have learned to be patient when waiting for my prayers to be answered. I have never challenged God. Even at times when I feel disappointed that things don’t go my way, I still remind myself that God’s plan for me is always the best plan. So if a procedure is said to take a year to process, I keep that in mind and patiently wait for the days to pass. Receiving a result that is way ahead of the schedule is truly a blessing for us.

I might have not received my first birthday wish, but the second one, I believe is on its way.

Tonight’s devotion is very timely with the surprise I have just received, that it prompted me to post it to share with those whose faith are probably shaken by their current circumstances. It reads...

Trust God’s Ways

"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways... For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts."

Isaiah 55:8-9

Did you know a lack of understanding of how God does things can wear you out? If you don’t understand His ways, you could end up fighting and resisting things, thinking they are an attack from the devil, when in reality they are an attempt by the Lord to work something good in your life.

You know God does not do bad things. But sometimes you may fail to realize that everything that feels bad to you is not necessarily bad for you. Reminding yourself that His ways are not your ways will help you trust Him even when your circumstances are hard to understand.

As this busy day comes to a close, just put yourself in the hands of almighty God... and rest in the knowledge that He is good and knows what’s best.

32!

The birthday blues faded as soon as Husband got home from his badminton game. It was around 9:30 last night and he asked me if I wanted to go to Tagaytay and have coffee. He said it would be nice to wait until the clock ticks 12 and it'll be my birthday. But I was already in bed, ready to sleep, so I told him that we just have a chat.

This morning, I was awaken by the alarm of Husband's reminder on his phone. He reached for it, checked it and said "Happy birthday, Mahal." to which I sleepily replied "thank you..." So, he has it on his calendar! :) Perhaps he would like to make sure that it's not gonna slip his mind. :)

We were on our way to the Church, when suddenly Husband had a stomachache that we had to go back home. And so, we're here at home, spending some of my birthday time on the Internet to thank all the well wishers and everyone who has remembered me on this special day.

The birthday blues is gone, and today is one happy birthday! Yay! I'm 32! :))
