Thai Kingdom Come: Happy Birthday Drey

Thai Kingdom Come: Happy Birthday Drey: Last August 10, one of the Cheequitas celebrated her birthday. My good friend Drey Lallo turned 18 last week (LOL) and I'm so sad I was...

Morning Realization

Have you ever shown appreciation to all the things that you CAN do everyday? How about the things that you can see? These are just some of the questions I have in my mind right now. A conversation with an old friend this morning surprised me with what he's going through right now. And I was glad that I had stopped to say hi and ask how he has been doing... He is fighting for his life! A truth I had to deal with calmly while I was infront of him. The color of his skin and his eyes have already changed due to a procedure he has to endure on a bi-weekly basis and yet he comes to work. Shrugging off the fear of rejection because of his appearance. While some of us may be spending thousands of pesos for gluta injections, he had to inject something to keep his hemoglobin level at a normal state. Again, to keep him alive. I dont know how he is able to deal with these. I am even surprised that with all these in his plate, he still has the courage to show me the scars of his suffering. It was like the scars are telling me, " Ms. Drey, look! I have made it this far!" There was a sting in my heart. I suddenly felt the burden of what he has been going through. And as much as I have tried to stay composed, I know I couldnt. So I had to bid goodbye. Much as I wanted to spend more time I couldnt hold my emotions. Is this really happening? How often do we realize that we are indeed lucky to be where we are right now? That with our petty cry because of a little push at work, a little increase in the weather temperature, a simple viral infection etc, would create a monster in you. When some people are praying to get well and spend another day of his or her life. I may be lucky that I'm not going through something comparable to what he has to bear but I feel his pain. Still I am grateful for this life. Despite shortcomings and the loneliness that sometimes pull my spirit down. This is my morning realization.

My Kiddo's Graduation

It was my first time to attend a graduation ceremony wherein I was no longer part of the audience. Yeah, this time, along with other parents, we celebrated the joy of finally finishing our children's elementary days! It was a moving moment. I cried. I felt that it was my greatest achievement. But wait! There's more! Off to High School!!! Haha!

RENEWED

And then it hit me...

For the longest time, I have been earthly and selfish. I have been away from my spiritual family and I haven't attended church religiously.

But this year's Holy Week has made me realize how neglectful I have become and has sparked the dire need for me to start living according to His ways. It is the Holy Spirit at work, I should say.

Looking back, I have devoted my life and surrendered everything to HIM. But I felt guilty of my sins that's why I moved away from the Christian beliefs. I should say that I also lost those people whom I have walked the Christian life with that was why it was easy for me to turn my back.

I am working on quitting smoking. I used to quit because a person would tell me to do so. This time I am doing it for me, since our body is the temple of the holy spirit. Prayers will be my shield whenever I would have the urge to smoke.

I have to sustain this fire in me. Otherwise, I would end up going back to being earthly and selfish again. After all, he deserves all the praise and worship.

I am not completely renewed but I am a work in progress. And I pray that you also have a very meaningful Lent Season.

Psalm 51:10 "Create in me a pure heart, Oh God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me."

HAPPY EASTER!!!

Remember

Forget the times he walked by
Forget the times he made you cry
Forget the times he spoke your name
Forget the times he held your hand
Forget the sweet things if you can
Forget the times & don't pretend...


Remember now you are not the same.

First in 2012

After some time of being at home and drowning myself with boredom, got the chance to spend quality time with colleagues after shift. Was with Jops, Ja, Leigh and Lyan.

Good talk. Good laugh. Good company. Thank you Lord for this :-)

Unplanned gimmicks,as they say, tend to be more fulfilling. And yes it true indeed!

Here we go Tagaytay!

Thanks to Buon Giorno!
