I claim it!

On her 56th

Yesterday was Mamas' day!! Happy birthday, Ma!! Mahal ko kayo!!

ended our day with a relaxing whole body massage

Bruises

while watching glee this morning, louie sat beside me. then i touched his face and softly massage his head not knowingly that he will attack me. i don't understand what triggered him to do that because i always do it and he is calm. whatever he was thinking, i suppose it was not intenional to hurt me. i got bruises. with his two hands and two feet, he grabbed my right hand, then locked his two feet so i won't be able to move the upper part of my hand, scrabbled his nails and tried to bit me. ouch!!! i felt the pain when he released my hand. i didn't scold at him. this was not the first time, i know the wounds will suddenly heal..i saw louie peacefully sleeping at the corner. i smiled. though he brought me physical hurt, he is still our joy. hindi ko kaya magalit.

since last week, i always check my yahoo account as i am waiting for an important email. two weeks have passed, still no advise. nalulungkot ako..i played the hillsong dvd and sing songs of praise to him. i trust his timing..and will keep on praying and waiting..praying and waiting..i fell asleep again and woke up late. eto na naman ang aking struggle - to go or not to go to work. since it is my holiday naman tomorrow, i decided to go. while traveling to work, i can't help myself not to think about the thing that i am waiting..then i received a note. the message was like louie's scratches on my hand. ang sakit..i went to the ladies room to wipe my tears away. lilipas din 'to. nasaktan ako pero hindi ako galit. hindi ko kaya. walang nagbago, i still love the person.

this made me realize how god loves me unconditionally. no matter how many times i hurt him because of my sins, his steadfast love never ceases; his mercies never come to an end and they are new every morning (lamentations 3:22-23). i am still his daughter and he is my heavenly father.

enough for today..tomorrow is another day and i am excited to my date with my two mamas :-)

John 10:10

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

i will not give in to the lies of the enemy and never let him steal the joy and peace that i have in me. i will always live a life of victory and live life to the fullest. God is good!

Maligayang kaarawan, Mangita!!

pagkatapos namin manood ng concert, hinintay namin sandali ang alas-dose para batiin ang isang kaibigan sa kanyang kaarawan :-)
 

si jenny, si bday girl na nakapikit, at ako

si carl (hinatak ni don galing ng pacita), si bday girl na hindi maipinta ang kasiyahan, at si don (pumunta ng music museum galing ng pacita para sunduin si manj)

Tanging yaman

sinamahan ko si mama kanina para bumili ng salamin sa mata. nawala kasi ung salamin nya ng binisita nila si lola sa himlayang pilipino. sakto naman na hindi ko pa nare-reimburse ang optical allowance namin sa opisina. kaya naghanap kami ng salamin (kasama ang lente) na magkakasya sa halagang tatlong libong piso. meron sya nagustuhan, halos ayaw nya ito bitawan. kaya lang ang presyo nito ay 6,700. meron 20% discount kaya 5,300 na lang. alam nya ang aming "budget" kaya nahihiya sya magsabi sa akin ng "la, gusto ko to." naghanap pa ng ibang salamin ang nag-aassist sa amin, meron naman na sakto lang sa budget pero sa reaksyon ng nanay ko hindi nya ito gusto at paulit-ulit nyang sinukat ang salamin na tig-6700. tinanong ko sya, "gusto mo yan ma?" ngumiti lang sya sa akin. sabi ko, "miss, eto na po kukunin namin." abot tenga ang ngiti ni mama. ang sarap sa pakiramdam makita ang mga ngiting iyon. alam ko naghihigpit kami ngayon ng sinturon ngunit makita ko lang na masaya si mama, sapat na iyon sa akin. kikitain ko naman ang sobra sa budget na 2,900 (kasama ang presyo ng lente). isang oras pa ang hihintayin namin bago makuha ang salamin kaya niyaya ko sya na magikot-ikot muna sa mall. pagkalabas namin ng optical shop, hinawakan nya ang kamay ko at sinabi, "anong gusto mo anak kainin, iti-treat kita." napangiti ako. alam ko na ang pera nya ay sapat lamang na pambili ng pagkain sa bahay. "hindi na, ma", ngumiti ako sabay akay sa kanya (hirap pa rin kasi sya maglakad)..mahal na mahal kita, ma! lahat para sayo..

naalala ko, noong isang linggo, pagkauwi ko galing sa trabaho (mga ala-una ng umaga), tinabihan ko si mama na natutulog at bumulong "ma, gusto ko ng champorado." naalimpungatan sya, ngumiti at mayroon sinabi. hindi ko masyado naintindihan, parang tungkol sa tsokolate para sa champorado. pagkatapos ay bumalik sya sa kanyang tulog at ako naman ay umakyat na sa aking kwarto..nang pagkauwi ko uli kinabukasan, meron ng nakahandang champorado sa aming hapag kainan :-) the best ka talaga, ma!

bago kami bumalik ng shop, bumili kami ng cake para kay kuya mac (kaarawan nya kasi noong biyernes, ngayon lang kami nakabili).

halos buong araw ay nasa kwarto lang ako. napansin siguro ni kuya ruel kaya pinuntahan ako at nagtanong "ok ka lang, la? kumain ka na?"..salamat kuya!!

mahal na mahal ko kayo!! wala man tayong sapat na yaman pero nagpapasalamat ako na kayo ang aking pamilya. kayo ang aking tanging yaman..

Salamat, Tatay

When I

Look into those bright eyes

So young
Always so ready to run
Then I
See your change when fun subsides
And new colors start to arise
There's a hidden picture
That wasn't seen outside

When you run, don't tire
Keep on reaching, higher
Even when the pain and trouble bring you down, sometimes
I will see you through
I'm forever right here with you
Even when you feel you don't need me around

I will be your friend, forever
I will be your one, big brother
Even when I see you fall
I will be your father

When I hear you call

When I hear you call

Wives..

Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight. For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to make themselves beautiful. They were submissive to their own husbands..

1 peter 3:3-5

may i give more effort to the beauty that comes from within and always be pleasing in the sight of You and of my husband. and as you designed it, i submit to my husband who you assigned as the head of the family. bless our marriage, father. amen.

My ex boyfriend
