2011-10-29T01:58:00.001+07:00

I've got this important message from my Facebook wall, it is actually from Samitevej Expat Club, where I am one of the members of the said group. I thought about reposting it here to help someone who needs this kind of information. Specially, now that we are experiencing this flood crisis here in Bangkok, Thailand. Technically, my family and I are still on the safe grounds, no floods (as of now

International School Library Week @ RAIS

2011-10-12T16:30:00.002+07:00

Earlier this morning, I've received a phone call from the Principal's office of Ramkhamhaeng Adventist International School to cover a class (again) because the same teacher last time was absent. I had no clue about the subjects for today, but I was glad everything was ready. I was told to come at 7:40am. But as usual, I was early because my boyfriend offered me a ride this morning and I was so

WARNING: Borrowing Or Lending Money Can Ruin Friendship!

2011-10-10T06:30:00.005+07:00

I have been yearning to write this topic so much for a very long time. There's nothing wrong about borrowing IF you have the exact money to pay for what you owe AND at the RIGHT TIME. Although, the latter may be negotiable, this MUST NOT be HABITUAL! (read my lips~ H A B I T U A L). Sometimes, it is not difficult to lend money if the person is really paying on time. But, it is not just the

Don't Judge Life By One Difficult Season

2011-10-08T07:49:00.003+07:00

I just got this post from Facebook via The Book of Revelation group. It did hit me right in my head to ponder things about LIFE... I don't know who originally wrote this or thought about putting these into words... But for sure, I apreciated my life even more. Special thanks to Tonny John, you are truly blessed! Don't Judge Life

Repost: Never Borrow From The Future

2011-09-27T22:17:00.001+07:00

I have received an email today, I thought of deleting it because at times I got tired of reading chain religious emails. As for me, that would only be useless IF the person reading it is not actually practising Christian faith or not a good Christian. Nothing really wrong about reading and forwarding, but I know some people might not like the way I thought that it is still good to show it in your

Contemplating

2011-09-02T09:40:00.002+07:00

It has been a long time since my last post and I miss blogging so much. I was occupied with most important thing than blogging.. MY FAMILY. I was thinking of compromising my part time job and future career here over my family. And to sum it up... I could still manage and balance both.. and YES, I survived and I always will! Through this sorrowful journey in the past, I have learned something

What To Watch Out For When Making Friends?

2011-07-03T22:30:00.000+07:00

Sure, we're friendly~ but, we must be careful in making friends. They may influence you to become a better or worst person. However, there's nothing wrong being with friends or making friends... the problem arise when your friend abuses your kindness/generosity, freedom, sincerity, thoughtfulness, etc. There are the types of friends that are messy. They like to engage in gossip and bring your

Happy Father's Day!

2011-06-18T21:18:00.002+07:00

I am so blessed to have a wonderful father of my daughter. He is so caring, loving, patient, understanding and kind. Words are not enough to describe how great he is, as a father and a partner. He's truly a God's gift to our family.

CLS Day 4: Life In The Holy Spirit

2011-06-17T19:42:00.000+07:00

I have been busy lately because of my job, so I posted this just now. The 4th Sunday was really memorable because the topic was about the holy Spirit. Our facilitator asked us this, "Who among you, are praying to the holy Spirit?" Few people raised their hands. It made me really think hard. I seldom pray before, specially to the holy Ghost. It was memorable because I've got a chance to make a

CLS Day 3: Loving Your Neighbor

2011-06-06T10:10:00.001+07:00

To love God, includes this commandment of loving our neighbor. Our neighbor is not necessarily mean literally our neighbor.. this is not limited to neighbors but those other people.. could be our ENEMY, our friend, someone we do not know, anyone who is in need or any person other than you. This is difficult. To love your neighbor is not easy but to begin with.. First, we need to have PATIENCE &

2011-06-06T08:54:00.002+07:00

Last week was horrible for and I thought it would be the end of the world, for me. But, with FAITH, I was able to control the situation and because of my strong faith in God, my problems were resolved. Thank God! It made me realized many things. Trials are not the reason to give up or make you fear, hopeless, hateful, or at times we blame everyone and even God for the challenges that we're

Patience is a VIRTUE

2011-06-03T09:10:00.002+07:00

I thought the word "hopeless" exist for real because I was feeling it before.. Especially, when it comes to have better opportunity for me to work with a permit. I figured, it was just a state of mind. Hope ends when we're burried 6 feet below the ground... "When there's LIFE, there is HOPE"~Cicero. Fortunately, I came across online about this private organization which is pretty much

Starting Over Again

2011-06-02T07:04:00.002+07:00

Reconciliation is sweet. With God's name, grace and mercy I was able to control the chaotic situation in my life. With God's wisdom, He sent me so many possible answers to my questions, various choices and solutions to my problems. My faith in God was tested many times for the past two weeks. I thought I couldn't be able to handle it. If not for believing, trusting and worshipping the Lord.. I

Blasts From My Past

2011-05-30T08:00:00.007+07:00

It has been years, since I lived here in Bangkok. As I was looking back how I went through... Specially, how I got here for the first time. I laughed at myself so much. My former co-workers and me having a pictorial while at work LOL My mind traveled backwards, where I was still in Manila working as a Customer Support Professional at Stream Global. Those were happy, routinary tasks. But, I did

CLS (Day 2)

2011-05-29T17:00:00.002+07:00

Today's our second Sunday for Christian Life Seminar. The phrase that stuck in my mind is: CHRISTIAN... it was divided into two Christ and Ian. To become a Christian we must be in CHRIST otherwise it is only IAN short name for "I Am Nothing". I have noticed and actually experienced last week's trials about my personal life. As something bad came up, that I couldn't be able to discuss here due to

CLS (Day 1)

2011-05-23T07:57:00.003+07:00

I received a phone call Saturday night from one of the Church members in our area. She said that the Christian Life Seminar will be held on May 22nd, it'll be 6 consecutive Sundays at 11am to 3 pm. I was delighted because I knew that I will have time for this. Weekends are days and time devoted for my family and my fellowship with God. Although, this shouldn't be limited or not necessarily or

Bonus Reward

2011-05-19T03:03:00.002+07:00

Christmas bonus and the 13 month pay aren't that familiar to be heard here in Thailand. Obviously because Thailand is a Buddhist country. Although, some people, families, schools and companies nationwide are celebrating Christmas as Catholics/Christians do. I had random interviews with expat teachers and other personnel who have been working here in the Kingdom for years and that they mostly

Friday The 13th: The Blogzilla Fever

2011-05-15T01:34:00.001+07:00

Whoa! Finally, I've got time to post a new blog for this week after my lost post... What happened last time that I couldn't be able to post? It's not that I'm too busy or haven't got enough time to do so.. It's because the blogger site experienced a crash or whatever. It took like 2 or 3 days to have it fixed. But, I am happy that Blogger has been restored in "normal mode"... Last May 13th(

Celebrities Look A Like

2011-05-10T01:49:00.004+07:00

I am amazed about celebrities who have similar facial expressions or resemble other celebrities from other countries. I don't know if you agree with me or not.. But, this is based on my honest judgment hahaha Are they cloned? Separated at birth? What do you think? ;) Lucy Liu and Pokwang (Host-Actress-Comedian from Philippines) LMAO too bad for Lucy or Pokwang? It was funny but they are

Osama Bin Laden... is DEAD? Really?@_@

2011-05-04T21:53:00.056+07:00

America's most wanted terrorist Al Qaeda leader, Osama bin Laden is dead. He was 54. President Barack Obama told Americans on Sunday night that Osama bin Laden had died in a firefight. The White House now admits he was unarmed. Whis is which? The story has changed? I smell something fishy! I hope not, though.. "The leader of the Al Qaeda terrorist network had eluded capture for a decade since
