Midshift Bad Trip

I was LATE, and I was like ....

URRGGHH!!!!

Last day of February (Midshift) and I've been keeping it sacred not to be late from Feb 1-27 (or shall I say, ever since my first day of work) I was really frustrated because I'm not anymore a candidate of the "Perfect Attendance" that is, to receive a reward of some kind of hefty amount.

Well, what really happened??

I wasn't late because I woke up late, walk out home late or being lucky to ride a lousy jeep but, the TRAFFIC that caused by the rallyist! They blocked the road! The 30 minutes home-work travel became 1 hour!!! I even put allowance on my time but still late. En route I was already restless , keep looking at my watch ,and want to cry. My eyes wander to find a motorcycle (habal2x) but unlucky to find one. Grrr..

Hey, I'm not against them. Were a free country right? We have the freedom to speak our rights. The only problem is that they are blocking and giving burden to commuters like me. We also have our rights and that is to cross that road they are blocking. We also have our own commitments like our work, appointments that causes so much delays because of them. I just wished they are mindful to stay at the side corner in order to avoid traffic jam..Hays.. When I've punched in my DTR, I was five minutes late :( Super bad trip.

The feeling that your goal for the month was not meant- it was so depressing. I was late on the last day! Sa last day pa talaga! Where I've been expecting a lot already. 

The fact that I'm pissed today does not mean I should let my emotion take hold of today's commitments. I still have lots of things to do like my work. Though I've felt sorry for myself, that the universe did not conspire to help me still, nothing substitute experience- I've learned to expect the unexpected , everyday is unpredictable. Goodness gracious. I just need to let go and leave those irritations on the road I traveled duh, literally  on the ROAD I traveled a while ago.. 

I'm sad, YSAY :(

Thoughts II (Super Late Post)

As I was checking my drafts, Ive found this out. I was not able to published it. (Super Late) Anyhow, this is about my schoolmate in college who is shot dead. This post expresses how I've felt that time and not being convince of our justice system.


DEATH - The state of being dead, termination of LIFE. 

To tell you honestly, I was afraid of death. Death cannot be anymore revived if its already your time. I was afraid to die young, I was afraid to let go of this world, I was afraid to let go of my human body, I was really afraid. To the fact that you can only live once so make the most out of it! I had this post because of an event that made me think what life really is. My batch mate in college died yesterday, she was hold-upped by two guys riding  a motorcycle and suffered multiple gun shots that cause her untimely death. I was shocked , saddened and get angry with the news. I was thinking she was sick so I asked my friend "bakit namatay eh mukha namang healthy nun" but my friend said  she was killed by that two f*** individuals! Goosebumps and tears developed, even at this time I'm writing this post. There is still an effect of the event. I was talking to my friend Joann and we shared common thoughts with this. Marj died so young in a brutal way! Why do they need to shot her? Kung pede naman sana takutin lang ng baril, cause in the report Marj refused to surrender her bag that prompt the suspects to shot her. It was inhumane and it wasn't been that really good, it will never be! I don't want to die that way, who would want it in the first place? Being a nurse is an effort job already and we are treated that way?? NO WAY! Marj would be indelible to her family, her friends and even to me who is not her close friend. She will always be remembered :( 

Crimes in our city are getting higher, its getting worst! The city isn't that safe anymore. I don't know if I still can call this city a LIVABLE one. Seems that our government or our police are getting stubborn and lax on what they should really be doing. Procrastinating on things they MUST be working on! I can't blame myself but to be angry, why does everyone needs to be so selfish on others life? In the first place no one is allowed to take ones life - only God can do that. Those suspects are heartless, kung pede lang sana tadtarin katawan nila at ipakain sa aso! but, we have our laws, we need to abide on the system  that I'm pretty much sure isn't working well , a slow justice system they say. Why did I say so?? You can only attain justice if your rich, or hear suspect guilty after 1 or 2 decades , or worst part maybe acquitted. I've heard alot of cases that has never been resolved so, in other words I don't have trust on our "JUSTICE SYSTEM".

I received a text from Joann and this is what I've read "The news today reinforced the fact that life is darn too short".  Incredibly true! I always believe in an adage that we live life today, take chances and risks, be crazy because today is the oldest you've been and the youngest you'll ever be again. Lots of us doesn't enjoyed our life that much. Some of us drown ourselves to things that frustrate and stress us that we tend to forgot the essence of our life. We tend to forget even the smallest detail of ourselves. We hesitate to see our own value as a human (the simple ones) because we are lured by so much pressure this earth brings. I was thinking when I lay down in bed last night I asked myself, "In this moment of my life did I already attain what's my purpose?? Or like the others I was already out of myself?

Missing Worship

January 10, 2013

Hi there Lovely Dolls!

Last year, in the seven months out- of-work most are spent in church. Not to mention I'm part of our church's music team. I sing and dance for God and eventually, I learned to play some instruments in the long run. I'm happy that our church gave me "break" for music :) I may boast that my voice is wonderful and can dance well but, nothing else will be better when you used your voice and body to worship God. Right?

Now, Ive felt guilty inside. Ive been away in church for months now. To be honest, Ive been missing the days where my Spirit's on high, High in worshipping my God. I'm not doing anything "bad" as you may think now but my Spirtual life has becoming dry and I DON'T WANT IT TO HAPPEN. I don't want to think that my recent job is the culprit of this self-reproach issue, cause I can see that my work environment are good, nice and healthy. I've got workmates who are believers. The only thing that I can see as "not good" is my Sunday's booked for work and that may affect my  spiritual time. 

Don't get me wrong with the statement above. I respect our company, I respect my boss. =) 

... here's the THING

I think  this is God's challenge for me. I've realized that even if your away on church, that does not mean your gonna stop worshiping.  No its not. Distance does not matter to God, only TIME does matter to Him. The time you're going to spend for him. Time that you are going to read the Bible. Time for worshiping , praying and getting spirits high. Time for helping and encouraging others. Time for sharing His words. (Smells remorse here). There is just really time if you really want to and that hit me.

Maybe this is subtle to understand as of the moment. But you know what? I've been grateful that I'm having this feeling. So ironic it may be but this signifies that I'm craving for God and for His fire and holiness.  Lord keep the fire burning in my heart!

Have a great weekend . =) God Bless our hearts.

Remembering 2012 and Welcoming New Year

December 31 ,2012

Howdy Dolls? Time passes so fast right? How many hours from now , we will end up 2012 and welcome the year 2013. Hows your 2012 ? I guess there are lots of things or events that put marks in your life. I do have also, and I want to thank God for all those things, whether it made me cry or laugh.

I thought this year is my year. The thought of being a "Dragon" baby will give me lucky charms. However, I think this year was a struggling - glorious year. What does it mean? I was struggling when it comes to my career. STILL. No good news. I resigned to my previous job to took up nursing but seven months of being jobless wasn't a great idea anymore.I need to find a job! and OLA! I got one, but not as a nurse. Nevertheless, I still welcome the thought of being one. Glorious on the other hand , because of the seven months out of work I became closer to our GOD. I got ministered in music and even learned to play some instruments. I became productive, not just on talents but even spiritually.

Hey dolls! Not to mention on Travels and Adventures! :) I've been always grateful for the chance of Travelling, Exploring, and Adventures. Lists of places to go, and adventures to try is always full. I've been happy also to met people who have the same passions with me like Joann, Manny, Tony , Shing and Zaldy. People that inspires me to do what I want and love. I was in the thought of the greatest regret aren't the things you've done but the things you didn't do. I was just taking chances for this, I don't know when will I ever got to do it. I guess that made sense :) The LUZON trip was amazing and unforgettable. The days where I keep on coming back to IGACOS are awesome. To try the minor climb was a dream come true (APO's going to be next). A 24 hour trip to Saranggani and South Cotabato was crazy however it was fun! :) Looking forward for more travels next year!

Thank you Lord for this year. Thank you for my family. Thanks for the friendship. Thanks for the talents. Thanks for the opportunities and blessings. May the coming year be more fruitful and glorious.

I pray that you may heal aching hearts Lord. May the people that are affected of the Typhoon Pablo find peace and strengthen them as they face the new year. May you guide all my love ones. I bring back all the praises and adoration.

And here are some of my NEW YEAR'S favorite Bible Verses

* 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

* Isaiah 40:31Yet those who wait for the LORD will gain new strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary.

* Ecclesiastes 3:11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!

My Real Place

You don't have to live very long before you painfully realized that nothing lasts in this world. The designers bags, shoes, your clothes that you bought in dollar tags are now on hand-me-down box. Your house with amazing architectural design  can be rotten and fall down. Even on relationship that you keep enduring will fail at end. Well, if you live in this world, all is uncertain, just temporary. Have you noticed that some people are on busybodies making themselves greater, richer, powerful but at end, when they die , they can't bring forth to their graveyard all their money and popularity but they remain nothing of value six feet below the ground? That's pretty sad. 

I would be very hypocrite to tell that I don't want to get rich. Of course! Everyone wants it or need it badly depending on the persons state of living. But I always thought that this earth only offers temporary happiness, nothing lasts forever and change is inevitable. I've realized that God made all things great and small and only He has the authority to destroy anything He made. 

Hey don't get me wrong. Its okay to have treasures here on earth but lay up your treasures in HEAVEN. What about riches if you don't have JESUS in your heart? Nonsense.  Make investment on eternal life where enough is understatement. In heaven, we don't need to endure life there. But, we are going to enjoy the riches, abundance, overflowing mercy and love of God for us. We will not worry any longer cause nothing will be rotten, nothing will break, nor fall down or fail- all is EVERLASTING. How wonderful it is!

I always foresee HEAVEN as my real place and I really want to go there badly. And I think, the greatest treasure lies in there. :)

John 14:2

In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

Revelation 21:4

 ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain,for the old order of things has passed away.”

It's One Year!

September 04,2012

HAPPY ONE YEAR BLOGGY!

I can't believed it!(over!) A year had passed since the day I've created this blog. One year of laughter, sadness, failures and success posts I had shared here. And reminiscing such events made me teary eyed, tears of joy dolls, I've been here for this long! One of the greatest accomplishment I've done for myself which I thought I really can't. So, September is a special month for me and opted to make entries this month dedicated to my blog's anniversary. 

Lets go back in time, one year ago.. when I've felt and discovered what was my other passion. I've made this, which I'm calling a "Virtual Diary"- accounts of anything I would love to write. To be honest, I don't have a knack in writing and I'm not pretty good in expressing myself in English (shame on me). A product of pester every time I stutter lol. Whatever it is, I can't imagine myself fit in this world before, but not for now =)

So, whats the ground of making such this? What's the force that pushes me to create one? Adventures and travel epilogues are part of the reason, but it wasn't the major one. It was for DIVERSION, yes, you read it right. 

Last year, I was in a state of emotional anguish. Though I had work before to keep me busy still, It does not amend a painful sorrow (getting emotional here) haha. It was hard to overcome an event such like that and so, I want my dynamism to be burn in a sensible activity. With the help of my friend who is also a blogger, she recommended me this and told me to write all my accounts in travel and adventures or, anything under the sun. And ola! I just discovered that I have talent for this. As time goes by, I'm getting good and becoming a better writer ,and I can express myself well now. What a blessing in disguise! =)

and I want to share this pic - the awesome " I CAN"  =)

Thumbs up for my little introvert self. What a wonderful year it is! Hoping for more years and posts to come!

Aqua Fun at MAXIMA

August 30,2012

One of the best beach adventure I had was going to Maxima @ IGACOS. It was August 20,2012 when our family decided to trip-out in one of  IGACOS famous resort. Excited as we are, since no one of us have been to this place before, it was all first time! hehe 

Going to Maxima can be via bus or boat. We chose boat since its hassle free and direct to the resort itself. We went to Sta. Ana Wharf  near Magsaysay Park @ 7:30 am but the boat is still 9:00am (excited?) so, we've waited. The boat capacity was 70 persons and it traveled twice a day only (going to maxima and going back @ 4:00 pm ). It was 30 minutes ride going to the resort and en route, our eyes wandered to the vast see and to the island of IGACOS. 

FEELING CAPTAIN!!

WHILE WAITING ON SOME LATE PASSENGERS! 

Mr. Sunshine was in its peak when were finally near the resort, and my heart beat faster and got excited more when I saw the slides! haha :)

ONE OF THE WATER SLIDES

PICTURE TAKING WITH LITTLE  COUSINS :)

As we walk down the boat going to the entrance, the process was challenging :) The bridge is not supported below by a concrete foundation, I think it was supported with big drums? so it floats. When your going to step on the bridge, tendency is it will move and you may lost balance so, hold on the railings tightly or else, you'll fall to the water hahaha

THE CHALLENGING BRIDGE!

Entrance fee is php200 for adult, php150 for 5-12 years old and below 5 years old is free. Inclusion of open cottages,unlimited slide with free used of life vest, and take note, its not allowed to swim if you will not wear one. The blue water part was estimated 120 feet. :)

THE OTHER WATER SLIDE

My little cousins enjoyed swimming and we don't worry much of drowning since their wearing life vests :)

we also headed to the banana boat and unluckily we cannot go up LOL

I CAN'T JUMP HERE.. HEHE

TIRED BUT STILL SMILE ^.^

I only did once the slide since after it,the back of my left leg was really hurt and ended up with a large bruise:( Did it only for experienced, but to tell you honestly I was really scared at the slide ahaha.

Canopy walking was also part of the outdoor adventure in Maxima. Again, I need to conquer my fear of heights lol. Basically shouting was really blatant haha and my guide wasn't really guiding me at all! He is busy with the first three individual and I got irritated at him also. However, I just did my best in crossing on to the bridge with shaky legs lol. And the last part was a tree drop and I think it is even more scary than canopy walk! :P

The verdict?? I enjoyed it though my leg was injured and got SUNBURN!! :)
