My Jesus, my Savior
Lord there is none like you
All of my days, I want to
praise
The wonders of your mighty love
My comfort, my Shelter
Tower of
refuge and strength
Let every breath, all that I am
Never cease to worship
you
Shout to the Lord, all the earth
Let us sing.
Power and majesty,
praise to the king.
Mountains bow down and the seas will roar
At the sound
of your name
I sing for joy at the works of your hands
Forever I’ll love
you, forever I’ll stand
Nothing compares to the promise I have in you

It feels like I have been gone for a while. Stranded perhaps. Yes. I have been going from our house to the clinic and back. It just feels like I have been floating for the past couple of weeks. Somewhere deep inside me, there was this little girl — lost and confused.
.
And so I haven’t written about it — surprisingly I should add. The San Antonio Spurs have won the finals! Tony Parker got Tim’s trophy — the MVP award that is. He deserves it. I have said this before and I would say it again. Basketball is a team game. Enough said.
.
I remember that time when I skipped my duty at RITM. I was but an extern then. I felt fed up of lab work and went to Starbucks (it was the only place I can think of since it was just seven in the morning). I was sitting on my favorite couch and enjoying my favorite blend. I wrote down all the things that I want to do for this year. It read "TRY OUT NEW SPORTS." Yep! You read that right. I want to try out new sports. A colleague invited me to a game of badminton and it didn’t take me a second to say "yes." I didn’t know how to play. I was actually bad at it but, what the heck, It was so fun! I just had a minor disagreement with my muscles as they were all sore the following day. Hmmm… new sports? Ice skating? Bowling? Argh! I can’t wait!
.
I missed cooking. I’m planning to buy this cookbook. (still thinking though — DECENT BUDGET, remember?). I cooked Tinola one Saturday afternoon. Simple but oh soooo delicious! The chicken cooked and flavored to perfection. The sharp flavor of ginger combined with the spice of pepper leaves is balanced by the sweetness of chayote (sayote daw yan!). Whoever invented that dish is (for me) a genius!

I added new pictures in my friendster account. Check it out if you are reading this and have not seen the new pictures yet. Just don’t forget to read the captions!

I miss my Saturday trips at Starbucks. I’d park my butt on my favorite couch and just relax. Read a book or write about anything while enjoying my favorite Java Chip Frappuccino. Argh! I miss Starbucks Saturdays!
.
Cinemalaya Festival will start on July 21. It will showcase independent films from budding directors. I love independent films! The storyline is different and the way of presenting it gives the industry a new light. Featured films are different from those highly budgeted overrated flicks. Try watching something else! Don’t miss this yearly event!
.
Everyday situations can either pull you away or draw you closer to God. It is just a matter of choice and perspective.
.
I missed blogging. I missed laughing about little things and putting it into writing. I missed writing about my bus rides or my silly conversations. I missed my computer. I missed writing. MISSED. Yep! Because I’m here again, and still writing.
.
The things you want, you should ask for. If you don’t ask, NO is always the answer.
.
Make your dreams a reality. It so much fun!
.
The devil’s lie is deceiving. Put on your guard fast. Before you know it, you are under attack!
.
Thank God for family and friends who are there to pick you up when you fall down. Truly angels do exist. They may not come with a halo and a pair of wings but they are God’s gift for us to be able to go on with life with much hope and love.
.
Yes. I admit it. I was being attacked by the devil yet again! Doesn’t he know that I have a Father in Heaven? Maybe he’s trying to convince me that God doesn’t love me. Hello?! He’s God! And He’s good all the time. And HE LOVES ME! I have been drifting away from Him, it seems but He is pulling me back to my refuge, under His protection, enclosed in His love — to that place I simply call HOME. One of the things I have learned is that everyday is a battle — a choice whether to do what is good or not. We may falter sometimes. Yes. But there is always God who is unchanging, patient and loving. It is through His unending grace that we will make it through. There is always God who would carry you through anything and everything. There is always God who you can hold on to. GOD IS ALWAYS THERE, NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO AND WHERE YOU HIDE. GOD IS HERE. ALWAYS HERE.

"you’ve asked all too many questions. now is the perfect time to look for the answers."
"Mahirap mabuhay sa panahon ngayon."

May nakausap ako kanina. Ewan ko kung bakit pero bigla akong humirit ng tanong na…
"Hindi mo ba nararamdamang matanda ka na?"
"Minsan."
"E bakit hindi ka pa nag-aasawa?"
"Anong ipapakain ko sa kanya? PAKO?"
Natawa naman tuloy ako! Sa lahat naman ng pwedeng maisip ipakain, bakit naman kaya pako?! Pero kung sabagay, totoo naman e. Hirap mag-asawa sa mga panahon ngayon. Kung ako lang ang asawa at ang ipapakain lang sakin e pako, di bale na lang! Ano ko, pang-circus?! Pambihira!

Frap addict?
I took the bus to Alabang this afternoon. When I got there, I found myself walking towards Festival Mall. My agenda? To buy some medicine. I went to the ladies’ room before heading towards my hunt for medicine. As I was walking, I had this craving for java chip frappuccino. Damn! I was there last saturday but sadly failed to enjoy its chocolatey goodness because I had important things to attend to. Maybe that’s why I’m craving for another cup! I didn’t even bother buying the medicine that I intended to buy. I went straight to Starbucks to have my caffeine fix. As surprised as I was, when i got there, I took a look at the already packed place and decided to just go home.
Here’s the thing. I love Starbucks’ Java Chip Frappuccino. That’s a given. But you see, I am actually TRYING to come up with a decent budget (yes! I’m TRYING to be responsible in handling money). Now that I’m working, I can feel how hard it is to have the "buying power." Now, I have money to buy the things that I always look at at store windows. I don’t have to scrimp (that’s what I used to do when I want something so bad when I was but a student) because now, I am holding the money that I worked hard for. AND IT IS SOOOO FRUSTRATING! It is so frustrating to know that I can buy that something that I want when I have to be responsible with how I use my money. It is just so hard to say "no" sometimes but I realized that it is actually an everyday choice that I have to make. I have to think whether it is a good buy or not. I have to think about its use and importance. Do I need it or do I just want it? Most of the time, I find myself saying, "I want it." I just want it. I don’t really need it but I want it. I realized that saying "no" is a hard choice to make sometimes because I am actually saying "no" to myself. I am denying myself of what I want. And it is so hard! Sometimes, I give in to what I want. Sometimes, I get a hold of myself and just walk away. No matter what the decision may be, it always boils down to one question: TO BUY OR NOT TO BUY?

Lagi kong tinatanong sa sarili ko kung anong ginagawa ko sa buhay ko. Lagi ko rin naman yung sinasagot ng "hindi ko alam." Kapag tinatanong ko naman kung masaya ba ako sa trabaho ko (tutal eto naman ang kumakain sa oras ko sa mga panahon ngayon), nasasabi ko namang oo. Pero minsan, naiisip kong eto na lang ba ako? Eto na lang ba ang magiging ako? Taga-paubo ng mga taong nagbabalak pumunta sa tate? Alam kong bata pa ako, pero hanggang kailan? Ano namang magiging ako pagkalipas ng sampung taon? Nagpapaubo pa rin ba ako ng mga taong nagbabalak magpunta sa tate? Gusto kong pagplanuhan ang buhay ko, pero parang hindi ako yun. Kadalasan naman kasi ng mga plano ko, puro drawing lang! Pero may pangarap naman ako, marami! Minsan nakakalimutan ko tuloy kung paano mabuhay sa ngayon (as in ngayong segundong to). Kahit alam kong wala namang magagawa kung lagi na lang akong nakatingin sa bukas, sige pa rin ako sa pangangarap. Libre raw kasi! Pero sa ngayon, salamat naman sa Diyos dahil may trabaho ako. Sa kabila ng kawalang-pagmamahal ko noon sa kursong pinili, binibiyayaan Nya pa rin ako ng magandang trabaho. Ang hirap kasi sakin, minsan pag napapatingin ako sa buhay ng ibang tao, gusto ko ganon na rin ang sa akin, nakakalimutan ko tuloy magpasalamat. Kaya kasama ng pasasalamat na to, e isang malaking sorry na rin ke papa God. sabay kiss! hahahaha!
