I'm not Feeling Well

Got this colds since saturday evening and because of this I didn't get much sleep last night... I was awake until 2am and I had just some short naps and then was awakened every hour. And just imagine, I have to be up at 6am to be able to make it by 8am in the office... just when you need that precious sleep... Right now, I'm not feeling well, guess I have to leave early, buy some food and go home (dorm). Tomorrow, my babe will go with me to the hospital. I need to have a medical check - up... I was supposed to upload my pics and my babe's... I'll just do it some other time na lang... well, that's all for now... shalom! :)

T.G.I.F.

Last October 28, my room mate Lei,her friend Luz and I went to watch a concert at Dusit Hotel. This is a blessing from the Lord, why? Because it's for free! Just imagine how much each ticket cost (the ones we had)? Just about P3,500.00 each! Hehehe! Now, do you agree with me? This concert didn't cost me even a single centavo! Thanks to my room mate, Lei! :) Now, you may wonder why TGIF? Can you find out why? Here are some of our pics!

Amazing God

Want to sing with me? hehehe! this is really a nice song! It describes who God is - He is Indescribable! Amazing!Actually, words are not enough to depict who He really is!


Indescribable
Chris Tomlin

From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea,
Creation's revealing Your majesty.
From the colors of fall to the fragrance of spring,
Every creature unique in the song that it sings. All exclaiming...

Indescribable, Uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God.
All powerful, untameable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees and we humbly proclaim,
You are amazing God.

Who has told every lightning bolt where it should go,
Or seen heavenly storehouses laden with snow?
Who imagined the sun and gives source to its light,
Yet conceals it to give us the coolness of night?
None can fathom...

Incomparable, Unchangeable,
You see the depths of my heart and You love me the same.
You are amazing God.

FlightPlan

Last night, we watched this movie, Flightplan. It's a nice movie. I just feel that it's quite slow or dragging, but the plot is interesting. It's about a wife, Kyle Pratt (Jodie Foster)who had just lost her husband in a mysteriousand unexpected death. She decided to leave the place where they used to live (Berlin) and move to New York together with her 6 - year old daughter, Julia who was hesitant at that time because she's afraid. After some prodding and promise that Pratt would be holding her "all the way", the child conceded. They were the first one to board the 474 aircraft. Julia had some apprehensions but Pratt encouraged her again by telling her that she helped in designing the plane. That's why she knows that everything would be all right. After sometime, Pratt felt asleep and found that her daughter was missing. She looked everywhere and even asked the captain to have a full search. When everything's done, her daughter was not found and all evidences showed that her daughter was never on board. Though the entire passengers and crew of the plane doubted her sanity, Pratt did everything to solve the mystery and save her daughter.

It talks about caring for other people, that you have to look after the welfare of others also and not just your own. Just imagine, nobody saw Kyle's daughter, though she was talking to her all the time? And they even moved from their seats to another, I think, it's at the "back" of the plane. Evrybody seemed to have the "mind your own business" kind of thinking. It's like nobody cares at all!

It also gives this reminder not to judge people by their looks. When Pratt was already devastated, she saw an Arab who was also on board and she interrogated her. She even accused the man as the kidnapper of her daughter.

This film also shows the power of mother's instinct. When almost everybody was saying that her daughter was already dead and that she was not on board, she firmly believed that "my daughter is alive" and she proved that amidst all the physical challenges that she encountered.

It's a nice movie. We enjoyed it, I hope that you will too! :)

He's Back!

my babe is back! yehey! actually, he's been here for two days :) well, what do you know? of course, i'm so happy, happy, happy! i missed this guy so much! two weeks of being away from one another is no joke. he went to the islands of visayas and mindanao for some ministry work. he told me it's not really that long, that i wouldn't even notice how time flies so quickly... but you know what? those weeks are the longest week for me. why is it like that? when you want time to stand still, it just won't but when you don't want it to end, it seems that it runs... sometimes, i would cry because i miss him... praise God, he's back! it's really nice to see him and hold his hand again... the way he slips his hand and how it fits into mine... haay, i feel so secured and so loved... thanks babe, i love you :)

I'm Almost There...

for the past few days, i was really trying my best to make this blog very nice. i mean, i kept on adding things, then remove them again, then add again, it's kind of tiring but i really enjoyed it and i know i'm almost there:) hehehe! one day, i'm gonna make it... and make it to the top! hahaha! that sounds familiar?

how will i do it?

hiya! i've been thinking about this blog. i really want to redo it, the thing is, i just don't know how. i want to put some music, change the font and color, i just don't know how... can somebody help me? i'm totally lost =( poor child...

random thoughts...

my back hurts, as in, grabe! maybe because of my too much time in front of the computer. what will i do, this is my job? honestly, i really enjoy this internet thingy that i do in the office. it's kinda different from my past jobs, but i'm really enjoying it... it's a whole new world to me... i wonder where will this bring me in the end? well, only the Almighty knows... after all, no experience is ever wasted in His hands...

i'm so excited now because this is the last day that i'm gonna long for my babe... hooray! yehey! he'll be coming back tomorrow, boy, i really miss him so much... funny, that for the last two weeks that he'd been out (he's in the islands of visayas and mindanao), i always had this tampo and you know what? he's always quick to appease it by assuring me that he loves me and that i'm the only woman in his life. isn't it sweet?

babe, you really made me feel secure... thank you... i love you...

i want this blog to be a little something different... hmmm... anybody got an idea?

just want to post these quotes:

Don't make negative criticism. If you can't praise - say nothing.

How little a life is to offer to God!

Some Favorite Quotes

I have finished reading "The Horse Whisperer" by Nicholas Evans. It's beautiful but it's kind of sad. It made me want to cry after the last sentence... Huhuhu! Why does he have to die? Anyways, here are some of my favorite quotes from this novel

For secrets uttered softly into pricked and troubled ears, these men were known as Whisperers

...These animals (horses) have got big hearts, there's nothing they want more than to do what you want them to. But when the messages con confused, all they can do is try and save themselves.

They (horses) are the most forgiving creatures God ever made

(Tom)

It's like asking a woman to dance... If you've got no confidence and you're scared she's gonna turn you down and you sidle up, looking at your boots, sure as eggs'll break, she'll turn you down. Of course, then you can try grabbing her and forcing her around the floor, but neither one of you's gonna end up enjoying it a whole lot.

(Tom's grandfather on a gentle way with horses)

Dancing and riding, it's the same damn thing...It's about trust and consent. You've gotten hold of one another. The man's leading but he's not dragging her, he's offering a feel and she feels it and goes with him. You're in harmony and moving to each other's rhythm, just following the feel.

(Tom's grandfather on riding with horses)

If only you could make now last forever.

(Tom's brother,Frank)

I guess that's all forever is...Just one long tail of nows. And I guess all you can do is try and live one now at a time without getting too worked up about the last now or the next now.

(Tom's father, Daniel)

These children of ours are precious, GOd - given creatures and when something goes wrong, we just have to stand right by them and do what's best.

It was she believed, a simple and unassailable fact of life that if a woman went to epic lengths to throw herself on the mercy of a man, the man would not, could not, refuse.

Maybe all mothers had such insight on their daughters and sometimes it was wonderful to be so understood.

All her life she had lived where she didn't belong.

She looked at the bulls lazing in the last of the sunshine. 'Who'd be a cow when you could lie around like these guys all day?'

(Annie)

Seeing the house standing there against the clear night sky, he'd thought of Rachel and the pain those walls had encased so many years ago. Now pain was encased there again, pain of the highest order, finely wrought by mutual guilt and used by wounded souls to punish those they love the most.

There were such moments, he knew, when the world chose thus to reveal itself not, as it might seem, to mock our plight or our irrelevance but simply to affirm, for us and for all life, the very act of being.

It's only the difference between looking and seeing. Look long enough and if you're doing it right you get to see.

(Tom)

...Where there's pain, there's still feeling and where there's feeling, there's hope

(Tom)

All things were one, and like a rider in harmony, the best a man could do was recognize the feel and go with it and be as true to it as his soul let him.

Because you're you. YOu're incredible. You're beautiful and you're strong. And you're the bravest person I ever met in my whole life

(Annie)

So special. Because I was the only one, I felt you both expected me to be so good at everything, so perfect and I wasn't, I was just me. And now I've gone and spoiled it all anyway.

(Grace)

...What a perilous commodity love was and that the proper calibration of its givng and taking was too precise by far for mere humans.

When he lays his hands on them you can ssee all the trouble just kind of fall out of them

(Tom)

'He had to the choice to go on fighting life or to accept it... He did. It was hard as hell, but he could have gone on. Gone on making himself more and more unhappy. But what he chose to do instead was to go to the brink and look beyond. And he saw what was there and he chose to accept it.' He turned to grace and put his hands on her shoulders. 'What just happened to him, laying down like that, was the worst thing he could imagine. And you know what? He found it was okay. Even you standing on him was okay. He saw you meant him no harm. The darkest hour comes before the dawn. That was Pilgrim's darkest hour and he survived it.

(Tom)

'Annie? Do you understand? It's real, real important you understand this. Sometimes what seems like surrender isn't surrender at all. It's about what's going on in our hearts. About seeing clearly the way life is and accepting it and being true to it, whatever the pain, because the pain of not being true to it si far, far greater.

(Tom)

Annie looked at it a long time before she opened it. She thought how strange it was that never till now had she seen Tom's handwriting. Inside, folded in a sheet of plain white paper, was the loop of cord he'd taken back from her on that last night they spent together in the creek house. On the paper, all he'd written was, In case you forget.
