Got Rained Down

Whew! I never expected a heavy downpour of rain last December 26, 2007. When I left home, I haven't suspected that it is raining in Metro Manila. I didn't bring an umbrella. And so, when I arrived at Alabang, I have to run to the nearest shade. But I still got wet.

When I left the office, I feel chilly. I knew then that I am not feeling well. True enough, last night I already got a fever with throat aching.

Today, I was not able to report for work. I pray that I would get well soon and be able to report back to work tomorrow.

On Saturday, we will be going to my soon to be sister-in-law's house for a "pamanhikan". Rita and my brother Manny will be getting married next year in Dubai.

On Sunday, a good friend of mine, TJ will tie the knot with Che. Our relatives will also come here for a reunion, conflict of schedule... hectic schedule... that is why I can't afford to be sick... I have to get well soon.

Love that Lasts Forever - Max Lucado

“Love never fails.”I Corinthians 13:8 NIV

“Love,” Paul says, “never fails.”

The verb Paul uses for the word fail is used elsewhere to describe the demise of a flower as it falls to the ground, withers, and decays. It carries the meaning of death and abolishment. God’s love, says the apostle, will never fall to the ground, wither, and decay. By its nature, it is permanent. It is never abolished.

Love “will last forever” (NLT).
It “never dies” (MSG).
It “never ends” (RSV).
Love “is eternal” (TEV).
God’s love “will never come to an end” (NEB)…

Governments will fail, but God’s love will last. Crowns are temporary, but love is eternal. Your money will run out, but his love never will.

God loved me for who I was,

for who I am

and who I will become.

I Love Him so...

7 Dwarfs Raids Fish & Co. after 10 years...

Haha! We really missed each other! Why not? 10 long years have passed since we get together... After graduation, everyone got busy hunting jobs, finding a husband and getting married. Though Chel and I was still looking for that man in our life who will sweep our hearts out.. hehe.. in short, kaming dalawa na lang ang natitira sa barkada na single and available.

Pechay was the first to tie the knot. Then Beth, Emma, Edith and Carol... We missed Edith who's in Australia, and Desiree, who we haven't had a word... as in we lose our contact with her.

Anyway, we spent the night eating at Fish & Co, courtesy of Chel who had flown from Australia to meet all of us... What a great reunion! Whew! the food was great and so the price... hehe Thanks to Chel, kasi nga nilibre nya kami... =)

HE CONTROLS MY DESTINY...

"But He knows where I am going.

And when He tests me, I will come out as pure as gold.

For I have stayed on God's paths;

I have followed His ways and not turned aside.

I have not departed from His commands,

but have treasured His words more than daily food.

But once He has made His decision,

who can change His mind?

Whatever He wants to do, He does.

So He will do to me whatever He has planned.

HE CONTROLS MY DESTINY." - Job 23:10-14

God has written my name on the palm of His hands. Though my mother may forget me, He will never forget my name. God calls me by name, I am His. He has done great and mighty things in my life this year, though I am not worthy. He has blessed me and blessed me indeed, though I am not that faithful. I have committed mistakes, yes I am not perfect... but He still loved and loves me. He accepted me for who I am, and He is patient with me.

How can I not love Him back? How can I not be grateful? How can I forget all the GREAT and MIGHTY THINGS HE has DONE?

Oh, Lord! You are Great and Awesome! You can do all that You wanted to do, You are the God of the IMPOSSIBLE THINGS! You have lead me this far, and You wanted me to trust You for more! Our lives here on earth are full of uncertainties, yet YOU ARE THE GOD OF CERTAINTY! What You say and what You promised will happen.

You are the GOD THAT CONTROLS MY DESTINY!

my first journey ... SINGAPURA... Singapore

my first journey out of the country was Singapore.

Day 1 (11/10/2007): Trip to Sentosa. Had a great time looking at the "man-made" sentosa beach, walked along the hanging bridge while shaking it... had an encounter and a photo ops with a dolphin named 'PET'... and posed with my friend JOYCE...


Next stop: Merlion near Imbiah Station... still with JOYCE and JasZ... the Merlion statue was so huge, that I seemed to be soooooo small.. hehe...
