January 10, 2010

.. a date I will never forget.

The truth is, while you're at the brink of death, everything flashes back. What you did while you're still alive.... The people you love... Every single thing about you. In just a split second you will see/realize it all. 

I know because it happened to me....

I don't want to recall that horrible event. Because I almost died that night.

One thing I can remember was, while my body was tossed from left to right of the jeep I was in, and my mind has gone blank (and all I can think about was "is this the end..."), there was a sudden bright light in front of me. I don't know if it was from all the vehicles that was passing by or what. I was almost thrown outside the jeep but for some reason i felt some hands grabbing my hands and controlled it and put it on the two seats for me to hold on to. And I also felt a shield at my back that barricaded me from going outside.

From that moment I know I felt my father. My heavenly God. He protected me.

Yes. My life now is my second one.

I was talking to him last night and I can't help but burst into tears. I have so much guilt in me. The thing is, he has given me the BIGGEST gift a person can ever receive from him.... MY SALVATION. But being a human being, I can't resist the temptation the world offers me. My Christian life has nothing but DOWN since last year.

What happened that night was a bitter sweet wake up call from my father. I know I haven't been able to do my duties as his daughter. I have been too selfish and preoccupied in worldly things that I have forgotten about him. I lack on sharing even a little bit of my time to him.

Saying sorry is not enough. I still believe in ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS. Not going to promise anything because there will always be that bumpy road that I have no choice but to take. But you know what, I am more eager and confident that I can surpass that challenge because my father is always with me. He has always been :)

Thank you papa God! I love you!

I got some post christmas presents the other day ^.^

.. cute mug - from our pathologist
.. hello kitty wallet - from my boyfriends sister (thanks boo!)
.. bag hook thingy - from our manager
.. 2011 Belle de Jour planner - myself. lol.

I'm not really sure about what I feel about this planner. I'm caught in between of regret and like for some reason. It's alright I think but I'm not too crazy about it. Not compared to my 2010 BDJ planner. That one I was overly excited about. The only thing was I didn't really get to use the whole thing last year :( which sucks because I spent 600+ because I ordered mine online so a shipping fee was included. But anyway... I purchased this planner at fullybooked- sm the block (that store is AMAZING!) and I paid 598 for it.

I included this thing in one of my new year's resolution: TO OVER USE AND ABUSE IT! hahaha!

Oh! and look what I found inside...

Lol. say wut?!

1.1.11

My family wasn't entirely complete in welcoming 2011. My dad wasn't here due to his work abroad. My sister on the other hand has her own journey. Healing from a hurt that was caused by the years that has gone by. My brother has his own affair at his church.

But despite their absence, we welcomed the year full of joy in our hearts. We managed to laughed and enjoyed all the fireworks of our neighbors. It wasn't really that bad. I'm still glad and grateful for all these.

some captions from last nights fireworks

We went up the rooftop just to get a full view of what's happening. And I tell you it was a-m-a-z-i-n-g!!! Gah! All the colors. The sound. Everywhere I turn there was that beautiful outburst of the fireworks.

every Filipino household has these on their table come new years eve

We only had little time left to cook so my mom made only a couple of dishes. But she sees to it that we have a handful of fruits on our table.

Just for fun!!

Here's a tip for the next year hahahaha! 

• Wear something pretty. Something that will add glow to your whole being. This will help you lift up your mood.  The design and the color of my top jives with the occasion. Plus, I love the bow embedded to it.

•  Do something outrageous. Just to add a bit of entertainment on your new year. I played around with the mask my boyfriend gave me.

• At the end of all the celebration, talk to someone you love before you go to bed. Let's start the year right by smiling before we close our eyes. Who knows! maybe we will end the year with this lovely gesture ^.^  Of course as for me, I had a chat with my boyfriend in fb, ym and on the fone lol.

Let's begin our year with a bang! 

Rock it baby!

"Don't just talk the talk, walk the walk": A 2011 Resolutions

A new year has come!  That means..... it's time for a change ;)

Develop and improve my relationship with my father... God.

Since I started working, I have been so busy and my time for him has lessen and lessen to a point where in I had no time for him. I miss bonding with my father. I miss listening and hearing his voice (within) (thru the help of the pastors at church). My schedule at work doesn't really give me the time I need to spend it with him. I know I know... IT'S NOT AN EXCUSE RUBY! Guilty!

I'm gonna be bringing back my old routine...

I remember Pastor Oh said to us, I challenge you to read the bible 2x-3x every year. Whoa! I don't know how I'm gonna do that but I know my father will guide me. Being a Christian is sensational! It taught me so many things that I have never imagined I can carry out.

Pastor Jesse suggested that we read the bible every morning before we get out of bed and every night before we go to sleep. From then on I've been doing that. I almost finished the new testament last year but then again so many things has intercepted me to refrain from reading it. Hence, this is once resolution I didn't manage to fulfill last year sad to say :(

I am not going to promise anything. I'll just make a move so I can complete this one.

'Till now I am so stunned by how God answered my prayer. I've been prayi ng hard for him to let me have the time to attend the church and you know what he did? He transferred me to a different work place! And we have a Sunday off there! I AM SO THRILLED!! We only get to have one or two a month though but it's good for me unlike with my old workplace I get to have 0 Sundays off :(

And! Attend this year's winter retreat. Woot!

Clue :P .... I am so inspired!!

 




Tone and Be fit.

Hey! I am proud of myself for this. I did manage to cut down a huge amount of weight. I've been moving my butt off early last year and so many people have noticed that. But of course thank you to my work I gained weight again (oh and last night too).












Be good at extraction.

hahaha! a work related one :D

SUCK THE BLOOD OUT OF EVERY PATIENTS LIKE EDWARD DO!!! Lol. Just kidding!

Being a medical technologist I have to be good at this. I AM NOT GOING TO ENDORSE unless I really can't pull anything.

SAVE. SAVE. SAVE.

Nuff said!

Be more active at charity.

I owe Project20 a BIG ONE! Sorry Elay :( I know I said I'm going to help you but I've been passing you up. This year I am going to help you in anyway I can. That I promise you. I may not be able to be with you physically but morally and "financially" in a little way I will.

Learn to cook something delish

.....for someone special :p

Write.

On this blog. I've been ignoring you for a long time! I just don't have anything to write about. Or if I have any ideas, I either forget about it or too lazy to put it into words. And yeah, my laptop have been messing around with me every time. Sorry my dear :(

Gratitude. Write down all my thank you's to my precious and cute little journal. Aw! I love it!! Just thinking about it makes me all hyper!

Buy a good book. Fashion or Inspirational. I'm not really that type who likes to read novels and stuff but I think I'll give reading skills some enhancement.

Decorate my room!

Buy a pretty painting (Paris or London theme). Few storage for my things. Scented candles! New bedspreads/bedsheets. Wow! I'm so EXCITED!

Beauty related

  H2O. Drink more water. If possible only this hahaha. good luck!

Take my make up off every night.

Wash. Moisturize and tone! Stick to one regimen.

Sleep early!

Think happy thoughts.

 
If I can remember it correctly, I made a vlog about this last year. And I am proud to say that I manage to fulfill some of it. So yey for me!

For this year..... *fingers crossed*

2011 I know you and I will be the best of friends ever. No doubt about it ;)
