His Plans

2015-03-08T10:54:00.000+03:00

We are placed in a situation where our decision making skills is really tested.

But there's always the perfect timing with God.

At first it may be frustrating and confusing but in His perfect time, everything else goes into place.

His plans may not be given in an instant

But it will truly be an indescribable happiness when you are in His best plans!

Make His plans your plans and surely you'll be full of JOY!

Boyce Avenue In Manila Philippines on Valentine's Day!

2015-02-12T19:28:00.000+03:00

Valentine's Day is perfect for Boyce Avenue to be here Manila, Philippines! Too bad i won't be able to witness my favorite band, perform live! I am pretty sure that Smart Araneta Coliseum will be filled with hearts because of their music!

photo from http://ovationproductionsmanila.com

Boyce Avenue came together as a band on 2004 by brothers Alejandro Manzano, Daniel Manzano and Fabian Manzano. From then on, they have done a lot of cover songs and now a youtube sensation! I so love this band!

Here's my favorite song, of course it's one of their original song "On My Way." This songs pertains to a girl that he has never met, a girl who has gone through a lot. Telling her not to lose hope on love because he is on his way to her, to leave a space for him to come into her life. So sweet! ^_^

I wasn't there the moment

You first learned to breathe

But I'm on my way, on my way

I wasn't there the moment

You got off your knees

But I'm on my way, I'm on my way

Lay down

And come alive in all you've found

All you're meant to be

And for now

Wait until the morning light

And close our eyes to see

Just close your eyes to see

A tear must have formed in my eye

When you had your first kiss

But I'm on my way, on my way

So leave a space deep inside

For everything I'll miss

'Cause I'm on my way, on my way

Lay down

And come alive in all you've found

All you're meant to be, oh

And for now

Wait until the morning light

And close our eyes to see

Just close your eyes to see

And when you feel no saving grace

Well I'm on my way, on my way

And when you're bound to second place

Well I'm on my way, on my way oh

So don't believe it's all in vain

Cause I'm on my way, on my way oh

The lie I did is worth the pain

'Cause I'm on my way, on my way oh

I'll be there the moment

You come out in white

'Cause I'm on my way

On my way

choice

2015-02-11T08:44:00.001+03:00

When you learn to make the right choice, the ones that God has planned for you, everything just falls into the right time and place. Sometimes you just have to sacrifice a little because you can't have everything, if you have everything you might forget to call on Him.

I feel so blessed to have a loving and supportive family!

Little Things are Big Things

2015-02-04T15:49:00.000+03:00

30 January 2015, my first time after so many years to commute ALONE this far! It's good that there's tons of public buses from Cavite (with air Condition of course!) to wherever in Manila. Here's my journey .... from Cavite I took the bus going directly to the MRT Taft station which took 1 hour and 20 minutes (not bad though, considering the moderate traffic and gazillion stops), then took the MRT (Metro Rail Transit) from Taft to GMA/Kamuning. That ride took only 30 minutes and lots of sight seeing of the buildings, not only that, but good thing that male and female are separated saves you from some A****LE men oooppps excuse my french! From the station I took a cab! Very easy! Saves you time, gasoline and stress free! I did it!!! *
Ended the day with Mojito! ^_^

There are so many things that I am able to do here in the Philippines which cannot be done in Saudi Arabia, like, walking around without the Abaya on (black dress). Little things are big things for me now and makes me so HAPPY! It makes me appreciate life even more!

Very liberating!

It’s more fun in the Philippines!

Quote for today

2015-01-27T10:36:00.000+03:00

"We're a little weird. And life is a little weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness -- and call it love -- true love." by Robert Fulghum, True Love

Just stumbled upon this quote. There are still so many strangers that comes into your life, but there will always be that one certain stranger that will catch your attention.

Have Faith

2015-01-23T16:01:00.001+03:00

God has already planned our life. We may question Him why difficulties comes our way. Remember we were given our free will, mind and heart to make choices. Difficulties may come as a resort of wrong choices. Accept this difficulty in order for us to go back to what was planned for us by God. The plan that will make us prosper, give us hope and a better future.

Pray and seek help from Him, pray that He may lead you in every decision that you make.

Have faith.

God is always with us.

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11

Clarity

2013-10-28T22:41:00.000+03:00

There is no perfect relationship, because even though two persons are bonded by love, they are still different people with different views in life. In reality, every happy relationship has still its difficulties. But if the love of the couple is established, even if trouble comes they will still find Clarity because for them their love makes sense and both feels good with the love they give and the love they receive.

I hope I made sense ^_^

If Love makes the world go round, then I am happily dizzy ... happy in love!

2013-05-22T01:07:00.000+03:00

Let's talk about Love ...

Some says Love is a CHOICE, some will argue that it is something that is felt freely within, and to others Love makes the world goes round. Yes, Love can change one's life, it can make you feel elated and it can also hurt you. But in every hurtful event of one's love life, one should not stop loving. Ending a relationship only means that someday another relationship will begin. It's a cliché But I still believe that there is one person that is meant to be your partner until eternity ... just to don't be afraid to love again, be real and if someone's gonna find you, first you got to let them in.

Because Love begins with ONE HELLO ....

This is the time of the year ...
When I always wish I still have my Mama physically beside me.
I wish I could see her expression when I greet her on Mother's Day.
I wish to hear her great laugh with excitement when I share my success in life.
I wish to feel her warm hug whenever I am lonely and happy.
21 years with the Lord in Heaven .... all I can do is wish.

But I have always believed, she never left me and my siblings.
She make ways to let me feel that she is always beside me.
Dreams, butterfly, and even through other people.
She has been there to guide and protect me.
She is my guardian angel.

Happy Mother's Day!

Love On March . . . Happy Easter!

2013-03-30T23:30:00.001+03:00

March 2013 was a very long month!

5 Fridays

5 Saturdays

5 Sundays

Big Time!

This month is very special to me as it is my Birth Month. In this very long month it has brought me a lot of realizations, and knew the truth behind the questions on my mind. It has made me shed tears and has also brought me back that RADIANT SMILE again.

March 2013 is a special month for us as we commemorate an important event in our Christian Life ... The Holy Week which reminds us how Jesus Christ died for us and saved us from our sins. And as we end the Month of March we celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus. Blessed are we to have Him as our Saviour, and let us bring back the Glory to our Lord Jesus Christ. Let us cast away fear, anger, bitterness and lies in our hearts. Let us Live Life in the Likeness of Jesus and embrace His unconditional and undying LOVE.

Happy Easter!

Let this be the start of a new beginning.

"When God closes a door, somewhere He opens a window."

BIG TIME! BIG LOVE!

birthday surprise 2012

2013-02-09T23:50:00.000+03:00

This has been long overdue, but nevertheless I would like to share to all how I celebrated my birthday last March 2012. It was a time where I was dealing with things that have made me wonder what life has in store for me. Difficult time it is, but with the Grace of God I have surpassed another challenging chapter of my life

Patients in Tanzania

Going back to my birthday celebration, one day my friend and colleague Maria shared to me that our friend Pamela will be going to Tanzania, officially the United Republic of Tanzania a country in East Africa. It was not just for pleasure but she has unselfishly volunteered to serve in one of the orphanage where children has AIDS. They have decided to pitch in financially to buy stuffs that would be of benefit to those kids such as medicines, educational materials and toys. From there, I emailed my friends and told them that I was not going to celebrate my birthday but instead I will donate the money that I was supposed to use to treat them in some fancy restaurant. Of course my friends did not object on that!

It’s always a great feeling to share and help people who are less fortunate especially on my birthday. I usually do it on Christmas time though.

I thought my birthday would be quiet, I was very touched when my friends surprised me in my office, brought me cake, flowers, gifts and food that we happily shared. It’s really great to have friends who take time and effort to remember you on your special day and make you extra special. I like surprising my friends on their birthday but I hate to be surprised, but on this instance, I loved every moment of it! My friends are like my family and I thank God for giving me such great friends!

GREAT FRIENDS! (not complete though ... )

Share with all your heart and according to your will! Sharing is not only on special occasions, it is not only in the form of money or material things, it is also sharing your time, effort and care to others.

Thanks Pamela for the photos! :)

Girl On Fire on 2013

2013-01-11T15:21:00.001+03:00

It maybe late to write my first blog for the year 2013 though, it may be a cliché but it is better to be late than never!

Thank God for the year 2012 and thank God it is OVER! Last year has brought so many laughter, tears, excitement, opportunities and a lot of learning. Every new year we have our resolutions, that is most of the time to be better from the previous year. But I guess we don't have to wait for another year to change, we can always change any time we want to. However, we should change because we feel that we need to, not because others says so.

They say when you grow old, you get wiser, and at my age I still learn a lot from life. Learning is a never ending process and it does not mean that we only learn from school. It is through our experiences and from other people around us that we learn the best and "not so best" things in life. It's not about numbers, formulas, grammar, but it is about how you live towards being a good person. I am gonna share to you what I need to change from year 2012, which I admit have known it for years but I am just too stubborn to really accept the fact that I am being too much of it and that I have allowed it to somehow make my world crazy.

I have came to realize that I am the type of person, who, I may say have too much of what I call the 3 A's. Analyze, Assume and Anticipate. In most of the situation that I am in, I Analyze every detail of it, unfortunately I could not get help from Google or Wikipedia and that makes me go ballistic! Then comes next, Assuming. I would like everything to be clear, if it's a NO it's a NO, if it's a YES and it's a YES. There are No maybe's - No if's. If I don't get a clear answer to what I have analyzed I tend to assume, I give answers to my own questions, I tend to miss out the "read between the lines." Maybe because I am a frank person, who says loud and clear of what's on my mind and what I actually feel. Too sad not everyone can speak their mind and heart. So, Assuming too much can sometimes get me in trouble. And because I over analyze and assume, this leads to, most of the time Anticipate of what's going to happen next and in most cases, things happens not what I expected it to be. Which leads to disappointment.

Now I am in the process of weighing and seeing things in different perspectives and accepting that whatever happens, it has always a purpose and it is God's plan. We only get an exact answer in Math, of course when we solve it correctly! ^_^ Most importantly, everything too much can be harmful.

I am a girl on fire, will keep both feet on the ground, with heads up high because I have a Great God who is greater than my obstacles in life and who has great plans for me.

change for growth!

It's Christmas All Over the World

2012-12-07T14:37:00.001+03:00

We are given each day to be a better person ...
Sometimes people are brought into our lives to be an instrument for us to appreciate the beauty of life ...

Trials are given to strengthen not only our emotional being but most especially our Faith in Him ...

Let us repent, forgive and have a clean heart ...
For our Savior will be born ...

All my life

I've tried to do what's right

First star I see tonight

Make my wish come true

Why can't we

Join hands around one tree

Let live and let it be

Make Christmas last forever

When Santa's flyin' in his magic sleigh

Goes all around the world in just a day,

From the North pole to the Southern tip,

He makes his trip with love to give away.

Hear him say ...

It' Christmas all over the world tonigt,

It's Christmas all over the world

All my life,

I've learned if I was good

Did everything I should

My dreams would all come true.

I can see

A special time with me

Join hands around one tree

Make Christmas last forever

Spread LOVE this Christmas!

December ... it's Christmas time!

2012-11-30T20:26:00.000+03:00

This is the time of the year where people are busy decorating their homes, offices, and even the town or city with all those bright lights and different Christmas ornaments which make you feel the spirit of Christmas. Christmas songs are now being played in radio stations, people are starting to make their list and even start shopping for the gifts for their families, friends and colleagues.

But what is Christmas? What are these Christmas decors means to you?

We should be reminded that ….

Christmas is a compound word, “Christ’s Mass.” It is commemorating the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. The Fir Tree or the Christmas Tree with its green color reminds us that there is everlasting hope for mankind. The Christmas Star represents the fulfillment of God’s promise to us, He has sent us our Savior Jesus Christ. The Christmas Wreath which is round represents REAL love, Love which is continuous and unconditional that we should offer to mankind. The Christmas Candle represents that Christ is the light of the world, He guides us and lightens our dark paths in life. Santa Claus symbolizes generosity, especially during the Christmas month! The Angel reminds us how they sang GLORY TO GOD in the Highest, peace and good will to His people on earth.

Christmas is not just receiving and giving material gifts, we should rejoice that our Savior Jesus Christ was born to save us. We should always remember that the best gift we can give is Love and Prayers and let us always be thankful with the Blessings that we receive every day.

Let us all have a Merry and Blessed Christmas!

"Can't Take My Eyes Off You"

I know that the bridges that I've burned
Along the way
Have left me with these walls and these scars
That won't go away
And opening up has always been the hardest thing
Until you came

[Chorus:]
So lay here beside me just hold me and don't let go
This feelin' I'm feelin' is somethin' I've never known
And I just can't take my eyes off you
And I just can't take my eyes off you

I love when you tell me that I'm pretty
When I just wake up
And I love how you tease me when I'm moody
But it's never too much
and I'm falling fast but the truth is I'm not scared at all
You're climbin' my walls

[Chorus]

Off you
Off you

So lay here beside me just hold me and don't let go
Oh, this feelin I'm feelin is somethin' I've never known
And I just can't take my eyes off you
And I just can't take my eyes off you

First Man In My Life ... Happy Birthday Papa

2012-09-20T00:00:00.000+03:00

A man with great courage, strength and full of dreams.... that is my PAPA.

He is the eldest of 9 children. He was born in a family that lived each day wherein they have to work hard to have food on the table. I remember him telling us his story, that as a child he would wake up early morning to go with Anda (grand mother) to sell pandesal (bread) in the streets of Pakil, Laguna. His mother a dress maker and his father a soldier. They may not lived a luxurious life, but they were happy and was raised as God fearing children. He strive hard to reach his dreams and he worked while finishing his studies. I am proud to say that he started from the lowest rank and retired as the Assistant Station Manager of AIR FRANCE Airline, after 30 years of service. He did not let poorness be a hindrance in fulfilling his dreams.

Papa is a good brother and a son. He was never selfish in sharing what he has, to his parents and his siblings. Even when he got married and had children he still provided for them. He has even helped other people and managed to save for the future.

Growing up, my Papa was some sort of a strict father, even if it's weekend the latest time we can wake up was 8am, otherwise you will really be scolded. We were not allowed to sleep over at our friends house, had curfew (12mn quite lenient during those times). Every summer, Papa and Mama see to it that all our helpers will be on their vacation, me and my siblings will have our own chores to do.... BOOT CAMP! Back then, we didn't like it, of course as kids we just want to play, sleep and eat! But now, being independent, I thank him for training us and all was worth it.

Papa is a loving, caring, protective father and a very good provider. I admire how he has raised us all by himself when my Mama passed away. It was a big pressure on him I am pretty sure. But he did not allow loneliness to give up on us. For more than 10 years he portrayed the role of both Father and Mother to us, his children. He may not be perfect but I can say he has done more than what was expected. Because we want him to be happy, we did not get in the way for him to search for his partner. We knew that we as his children would not be able to give the kind of love of what a partner would be able to give him. He is lucky that God has given him my Stepmom MAMSI who has taken cared of him and loved him unconditionally. The big age gap did not hinder their love for one another. And even luckier that 3 little angels were born whom I can say have never considered to be half brother and sisters.

Now that Papa is "_ 2" years old (i wont write the real number, because the kids knows that Papa is still in his forties ... lolz) I wish him good health, peace of mind and spend more time with the kids, as we were not able to experience that before because he was busy with work which we understand. May our Great God give him more years to live so we can spend more time with him. God willing we will all be together again.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAPA ... thank you for being the best father and friend to me. Thank you for being so understanding and for loving me unconditionally.

Here's a song that every time I hear it, I remember papa singing it ... he has a very good modulated singing voice too! ^_^

I LOVE YOU PAPA!
