day 40

at last.....this is it! and so the 40-day fasting ends today, however, i believe the journey continues...and must go on!

*it-it and jen's birthday (pretty celebrators)...

*had a good time chatting with corky and aj....('til next time girls)

*went to blessy's apartment....we greeted the birthday girl! the "surprise" thing worked...yehey!!

thank u EAGURLZ family....(the dress is fabulous)

i love you all....^_^

day 39

i woke up late....huhuhu! (birthday hangover, eh)

*attended the 2nd service
*played the drums in matina (take note: Val played the bass - his first time, not bad!)
*visited the wake of micah's cousin (dad of Nash) @ Cosmo....
---during the wake, i couldn't help but stare at the flowers and wreaths... i thought to myself, when my "time" comes, i would want my flowers to be white and pink, people would play loud music, perhaps there would be a band...hmmm! just a thought...funeral or wedding?!

---but, one question remains: am i ready (are you ready?)

day 38

26 na gyud!

today marks the beginning of another year---and i'm hoping that it would be a (more) fruitful one....

it's been a busy day....whew! but like any other day, it has to end....

i really feel blessed to have people who are so thoughtful...all of you made my day joyous!

i want to be filled with joy...

i want to be joyful...no matter what!

day 37

exactly 25 minutes from now, i'll be turning 26...whew!

i've been through different seasons of my life and i thank God for his faithfulness...for 25 years He's been with me, beside me, over me! no words can ever express how thankful i am....still, i want to thank the Lord.... He has blessed me with so many things --my biological family, spiritual family, job, colleagues, friends...i could not ask for more! (ei, naa diay....only God knows...hahaha).

i've been existing for a quarter of the century already (too short a time)...and now, im going to end my silver years...but, im excited for the coming year (and years) and the things that God has prepared for me....=)

with great anticipation....

hala, i just realized, 4 years more....i'll be there 30 already!hehehehe....
wala lang...

the clock's ticking...can't stop it! 26 here i come!weeee...

i wonder who would be the first to greet??! hmmm....

day 36

in life, we expect so much -- from people and things. sad to say, most of our expectations fail...

so....

don't expect...instead, hope!
expectation hurts but hope brings surprises...

day 35

It is not enough to take steps which may some day lead to a goal; each step must be itself a goal and a step likewise.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

that's right!=)

it takes wisdom from God to make our steps become our goals...

day 34

happy birthday micah and nicole...

spent my day in usep (clearance and enrollment).

i'm officially enrolled now! 2nd sem here i come....hehehe!=)

thank you Lord for the favor and provision....

day 33

bonding with my family @ Eden Nature park!

it was fantastic...
picture2.
prayer time.
hiking.
eating durian.
playing cranium.

enjoy kaau......

next stop: pearl farm! (whooh...thank u Lord sa provision!)

day 32

history maker again!

i attended the first service this morning....whooh!
it was great! =)

8 more days to go...im about to end the fast....
but i still have many things to accomplish...

prov 18:9 - he who is slack in his work is a brother to the one who destroys!
oopsie! toinks!

got to paint the town red...

day 31

saturday...
lazy morning...hehehe

met the girls (3 were present - gelai, jing and jen)

attended reload live wire...

almost.....haay! cge na lang! dli lagi magluya2!

day 30

TGIF

it our rest day...after days of hard work!yakakay!weee...

did many things today...

joined the reload big event...too bad i didn't have a statement shirt!=(

wonderful message from God:
baa or mee? are you a sheep or a goat?

it's your choice..

day 28 and 29

senior boys scouts overnight camp @ camp corazon

i was in charged of the documentation (had fun taking pictures)

there was heavy downpour in the late afternoon but thank God we were able to have the camp fire..

rizma, cathy and i slept in the van ("eric the starex)...it was our first time! =)

day 27

star scouts and kab scouts day camp @ catalina garden

it's been fun though i was scorched by the sun's heat...
but thank God for the good weather...

it's not easy handling young boys, you know how they act...hehehe!
but it was great...boys are really boys!

day 26

even if we do things the right way, some would still be unsatisfied...

we give our best, yet, people don't appreciate us...

i guess the saying "you cannot please everybody" is indeed true...

hurting as it may seem, but we have to admit that life's like that!

we just have to focus on GOD and stop pleasing the people around us...

it's comforting to know that God loves us (and would still love us) despite our imperfection...

now, that's a consolation...

day 25

i didn't have a good sleep.
had a bad headache.
wasn't able to attend the morning service.

but, got my portion in the afternoon service.
thank God....

im grateful i belong to a team of 12.
a great one at that....

go go go Eagurlz....

love this family...

day 24

it's not about fairness, but sacrifice....

most of the time, we long for equality...but life is unfair! no matter what we do, life would always be like that...

after reading 1 Kings chapter 3, i realized that life is not just about clamoring for equality but living and willingness to sacrifice...how much are we willing to give?how far would we go?

hard, isn't it? but that's how life goes...

nevertheless, life must go on...
whoever is willing to sacrifice, wins the prize...

day 23

be a good samaritan...

day 22

ngano man diay? padayon gihapon...

day 21

we're halfway through our fasting...thank God for the strength!

spent most of time doing my project in MA...got to finish this or else...huhu!

the "leah" project

such a great experience conducting a case study...gelai and i spent hours observing, interviewing leah (te annabel & kuya edward's uniqua hija))..it was fun doing it...we actually felt like shooting scenes in a movie...haha! leah was very cooperative--thank God=)

first day...i had to re-learn (fasting) and unlearn (eating junkfoods--huhu).. but everything went well! thank God...my power devo today is from 2 Corinthians 12:9 - "God's grace is sufficient for us, for His strength is made perfect in our weakness."

i really like this verse...indeed, God is our great source of strength especially in times of trials, struggles.. He is really awesome!^_^
