Psalm 46:10

"be still and know that i am God."

While i'm waiting..

i am injecting new regimes to my routine.

-starting next week, i am going to the gym!! wohoo!! time to burn fats and calories in a natural way. (i am hearing hubby's yahoos and wohoos!! haha!). actually, i have already started this fitness thing four sundays ago. inspired by jen's enthusiasm (hnaks!), my usual sunday turned out to be my fitness day! that is both physical (brisk walking in the morning) and spiritual (church service in the afternoon). the first two sundays, we did brisk walking in greenhills and ccp. then two sundays ago, jen, manj and i enjoyed biking at quezon city circle (not to mention our sleepover, i mean movie marathon at jen's place using her laptop and projector. so we were like watching in a movie house. cool!!). our next stop is UP diliman (if it's not raining on sunday).

mangita!! bilis!! haha!

antok na si manj!

-in august, i will get a student license so i can have my driving lessons already and obtain a non-pro license. so that i can drive hubby around whenever we have our vacation in manila :-)

this is the first time that i belong to a team that the number of men and women are equal. this helped me understand more how men think alike. well at least :-)

I heart my new twitter background

Dreams do come true

i have already forgotten when was the first time i have dreamt of a situation that have come true. to my curiosity and to know if this is something that was given to me as a gift, i shared to my discipler and to kuya tito about this. they have advised me to pray for it and to pray for the dream and for the persons that were present in my dream.

here are some of my dreams and these are relevant to the events in the philippines. i do not know these people personally that is why i was wondering then why i had such dreams..

1. dream: i went outside. the office was overtaken by the military and the city was surrounded by soldiers. the scene was like of a martial law.
actual: when i woke up that day, the news was about the oakwood mutiny. a group of armed soldiers took over the hotel to show the filipino people the alleged corruption of the arroyo administration. they also stated that they saw signs suggesting that the president was going to declare martial law.

2. dream: the nbi's were following me. it was like a scene in the movie. then someone helped me escape and we were hiding in an establishment. there was a helicopter that's flying around trying to find where we're at. the only reason i remember was that they wanted to get the envelope that i was holding.
actual: that week, the people power part 2 (edsa dos) happened because the envelope that contains the evidences of erap's corruption was not opened.

3. dream: this is recent, i think i dreamt of this just this week. guess who was in my dream? it's P-noy. here's how i remember my dream: suddenly, rocks (huge ones) were thrown into the building. many were injured. the people were accusing several people (i do not know them) for this. but in my dream, the mastermind was no other than P-noy.

i do not know what's with that dream. when i woke up, i have prayed to God to protect my family. i also prayed for the current administration.

these are just dreams..my life is still dependent in God alone.

oh here's another one..two years ago, i have dreamt of cesar. when i woke up, i told him that his visa will already be granted. he asked me how did i know. i said that he received something from australia and agie confirmed that if he received that thing, it's good as approved. cesar was wondering if someone has told me about that. i said no, i just dreamt of it. cesar affirmed that he indeed received a document from the embassy and agie told him the same statement he said in my dream (whoa!).

after a week, cesar's visa was granted.

good night and sweet dreams!! :-)

I feel highschool

cool sbux pictures from the web.

Long hair is back!

i just notice that my hair is already long. when i was in college, i decided to keep it short and since then i have been bold to experiment different hairstyles. because i am inspired to have it curled, i haven't cut it since february. i know that it is not too long yet but for a gal who's always been short-haired like me, it is something . but i will not curl my hair anymore and will make it stay that way. its simplicity reflects my personality and i look mature with my hair now (naks! tama ba dy? ahihi).

My experience at EN2010

after months of waiting, at last! on july 22-24, every nation church (victory christian fellowship here in the philippines) had its world conference at SMX, mall of asia. approximately 18000 to 20000 delegates have attended this, 500 of which are international delegates. wow! that was a great number! just imagine during breaks, the mall of asia was crowded by additional 18000+ people. whew!

i wasn't able to attend the opening night on july 22 due to work commitments but i filed a vacation leave on july 23. one word to describe my two days experience at the conference - AWESOME.

here are some of the highlights of the conference:

(1) inspiring story of efren penaflorida, the CNN Hero of the year.

(2) haka performance of new zealand delegates and the traditional dance performed by the delegates of the host country, philippines

(3) darlene zschech speaks about worship.

(4) amazing grace was sang in 50 different languages which made it to the guinness book of records.

(5) i met my old friend and got to meet a new one. it's interesting because ethel has a chinese blood and virginia is pure chinese. virginia and i have three things in common: 1. we love reading books (i accompanied her at national bookstore, though i am a fan of fully booked, but they do not have the books that we were looking for. she bought five people you meet in heaven, your best life now, tuesday with morrie and boy meets girl) 2. we love traveling (she and her family have been to boracay last year. and after the conference she and her colleague/friend will go to cebu and bohol) 3. we are both working in finance (she is working at P&G china). in two days, we were able to exchange life stories and about china and the philippines. i have learned that 1. in china, each couple is only allowed to have one child (this i know) 2. if you have more than one child, the fine for each is (php)140k 3. if you are an only child and you marry an only child, then you are allowed to have two children 4. if you are working in a government, then you have more than one child, you will be fired from the office 5. about their education, they spend 6 years in grade school, 6 years in highschool and 4 years in the university. usually, they graduate from college at age 24 or 25.

she get my home address because she told me after that she will send me a city mug from china. ahhh..

with ethel

with virginia

virginia gave me a bracelet and wrote me a letter. i bought her a native bag with a cute pink bear tag from egg.

i am so blessed to be part of this spiritual family. pastor steve's simple message leave a mark in my heart "To honor God is to know ur place and give Him the praise due His name".

i live not to receive glory but to give you glory.

Collection 2010 - part 1

for every city mug that i have, there is a story behind. that is why it is not just a mug with a city or country printed on it, but it is a collection of stories of different people who have been to the cities across the globe.

for the first half of the year, three were added to the collection. the first two were from pilita when she had her trip in taiwan last march. one of the mugs was her gift for me and i paid for the other one. it costs me 500 pesos. not bad. it costs 600 to 800 pesos to other countries.

then the third mug was from edwin. he borrowed my dslr as he wanted to have a quality photo of him at the eifel tower. in exchange, he bought me a city mug.

You are a Star!

thank you glyn for the kind words. you made my day. it is worth staying because of people (and a boss) like you.

Hi Pamela,

Kindly be the star that you are and provide us with the reports for today. We appreciate you co-operation at all times and your positive attitude is truly pleasing! We love having you as a part of our team!

Kind regards!

Wish wish wish

i am torn between this

and this

both are compact cameras with good image resolution plus this is more handy than dslr. i love my dslr though but i also want a point and shoot that i can easily bring with me everyday. as this is only a want and not a need so i am putting this aside. but if we have extra, i would like to invest it to one of these.

Collection

a friend sent me a picture with an email subject line - for your inspiration. wow!! this is cool! as of now, only have 23 (im not sure) city and country mugs in hand.

still a long way to go before i can attain this..

Happy bday Senior and Junior!

june 30 was declared as philippine holiday due to the inauguration of noy-bi. for the carino's (i am in!) this is a perfect timing to celebrate papa cesar's 92nd (but according to him it was his 102nd hehe) and papa boyet's 58th birthday. though i have work at 3pm, i decided to visit pasig at lunch time kahit sandali lang. i would like to see papa cesar's shrewd endearing smile. before i meet mama (lina) in marikina, sumaglit ako ng loyola and bought flowers for papa boyet.

happy birthday papa! as per biboy's request, orchids ang binili ko for you :-)

papa cesar while reading hubby's letter. bumili kami ng axe as birthday gift and aside from it, i printed out biboy's letter for his lolo

oooppss, maliit pa rin pala ung font ko :-)

we love you, papa cesar! i will never tire of hearing your panahon ng hapon and familia tuazon stories. sabi nga ni tito ado, hindi pa tayo umaabot sa panahon ng amerikano hehe

and the highlight of this day (i guess so hehe), was my adobong baboy. while helping ria and tita nenet prepare the chop suey, tita bubut handed me the pork and i rinsed it. when ta bubut said "o, ikaw na bahala kung anong luto gagawin mo dyan ha. gusto mo adobo rin. tikman ko mamaya", i appear to have some sort of mental block out that i have totally forgotten how to cook adobo. nyaaah!! ma, help!! hindi ko alam mag-adobo ng baboy :-) i smiled..kaya ko 'to ahihi..toyo - check! suka - check! paminta - check! bawang - check! asukal..asukal?? kwatog was laughing at me "ha?, walang asukal ang adobo". yay!! i asked myself, "wala nga ba?" i know there is, un ung turo sa kin ni mama. anyway, i did not put sugar and just crossed my fingers and hoping that it will taste like adobo (nyehehe). oh my! it feels like ten years before it cook and it's almost 2pm. i texted my teammate and ask him to run the reports for me as i will not make it at 3pm. after an hour, at last! pwede na!! haha!! sabi ni kwatog paksiw daw, sabi naman ni ella tocino raw! hahaha!!! let's hear from the main judge, dra bubut carino..

shux, kinakabahan ako haha!!

yey!! nagustuhan ni tita bubut! whew!!

tinikman din ni mama and she liked it. kinwento nya agad kay cesar and hubby was so proud of me..ahihi thank you dy! may utang kang isang shellane kila ninang hehe

kahit na late ako sa office, worth it naman :-)
