It's official.
I am now looking for a new job...
It's really a pity I have to leave what I have right now. Kung kelan pa naman natututunan ko nang mahalin ang trabaho ko (meaning, I don't have to ask around anymore regarding processes). Kung kelan pa naman I’ve found a community that I’m beginning to love. Kaya lang, I can't take the insults and the power trippings anymore.
I am targeting this one very special position... please pray for me.
Hay… I’ve laid out my plans to Him. But it seems that He wants to make some revisions. Ok lang naman with me. I just hope that in the process, He is tightly hugging/embracing me. Para naman me cushion, if ever I fall…
~~~
Anyway, on a totally different topic…
Hindi ko na matiis, kakanta muna ulit ako ng… :)
Dadaanin sa Panalangin
Jimmy Bondoc
Tila ba dapat huwag ng umasa pa
At tila ba dapat nang kalimutan ka
Mabigat ang kalaban sa pag-ibig mo
At tila ba kailangang mapansin mo pa ako
Dahil kasama nga sa buhay natin ang mabigo
Kaya ano mang pasya'y gagalangin ko
Ituturing bahagi na ng paglago
Ngunit hangga't di naririnig sayong mga labing ako'y bigo
Ikaw ay dadaanin sa panalangin
Dadaanin hanggang maawa ka sa'kin
Dadaanin sa panalangin
*sigh*

Magdalena ng Canossa
How I wish high school na lang ako...
Para simple na lang ang lahat.
~~~
She's our patron saint in high school...
the one whose mission is "to make Christ known and loved."
St. Magdalen of Canossa
(1774-1835)
Wealth and privilege did nothing to prevent today’s saint from following her calling to serve Christ in the poor. Nor did the protests of her relatives, concerned that such work was beneath her.
Born in northern Italy in 1774, Magdalen knew her mind—and spoke it. At age 15 she announced she wished to become a nun. After trying out her vocation with the cloistered Carmelites, she realized her desire was to serve the needy without restriction. For years she worked among the poor and sick in hospitals and in their homes and among delinquent and abandoned girls.
In her mid-twenties Magdalen began offering lodging to poor girls in her own home. In time she opened a school, which offered practical training and religious instruction. As other women joined her in the work, the new Congregation of the Daughters of Charity emerged. Over time, houses were opened throughout Italy.
Members of the new religious congregation focused on the educational and spiritual needs of women. Magdalen also founded a smaller congregation for priests and brothers. Both groups continue to this day.
She died in 1835. Pope John Paul II canonized her in 1988.

Midnight person
| You Are Midnight |
 You are more than a little eccentric, and you're apt to keep very unusual habits. Whether you're a nightowl, living in a commune, or taking a vow of silence - you like to experiment with your lifestyle. Expressing your individuality is important to you, and you often lie awake in bed thinking about the world and your place in it. You enjoy staying home, but that doesn't mean you're a hermit. You also appreciate quality time with family and close friends. |
Water naman ngayon...
Your Element Is Water |
 A bit of a contradiction, you can seem both lighthearted and serious. That's because you're good at going with the flow - but you also are deep. Highly intuitive, you tune in to people's emotions and moods easily. You are able to tap into deep emotional connections and connect with others. You prefer a smooth, harmonious life - but you can navigate your way around waves. You have a knack for getting people to get along and making life a little more peaceful. |
For our Baby Girl

Today is the 26th birthday of our Baby Girl!

Happy Happy birthday and Congratulations to you our dearest Cha! You deserve all the best things in life :) Mwah!

As always…
Kakanta muna ako ng:
Pinasaya ako ni Lord.
Kahit konting sandali...
Salamat po :)
~~~
I miss the people at the Nazareth Bahay Pag-ibig.
It’s been a year since I last saw them.
The calling is as persistent as ever.
I think I have to go back...
It's alright, I'm okay* I think God can explain by Splendor
I think God can explain
I believe I'm the same
I get carried away
It's alright, I'm okay
I think God can explain
I'm relieved, I'm relaxed
I'll get over it, yeah
Pinasaya ako ni Lord.
Kahit konting sandali...
Salamat po :)

Pag-ibig Mo ang siyang nagmulat, nagakay sa liwanag* Binhi ng Pag-ibig by Fr. Mimo Perez
Pag-ibig Mo rin ang siyang tumawag upang maging alagad
Kaya ko bang maglingkod ng ganap?
Kayang iwanan ang lahat?
Ang tanging alam ko ako'y tinawag upang maging alagad.

Mixing photos in Photoshop
Look at this:
I read the steps from Manila Bulletin's Tech101, today's issue.
I'm beginning to like photoshop. :)
Ang galing! we were doing this in our basic photography class (DevC 140) pero manual siyempre - 2 negatives on the top of each other tapos saka ipi-print. Tapos pwede na rin pala sa digital. :) Ang galing!

Sem ender post
Tapos na ang semester. Thank God! Parang this sem super harass na harass ako. Hehe! :) Before kasi, VCD and books lang ang kaagaw ng study time ko - naks! ndi ito totoo! walang study time :) cramming time madami! - ngayon with matching SFC meetings during weekdays and gimmick almost every weekend nabawasan na rin kahit cramming time.
Anyway, grades will be out in two weeks time and I could only hope for the best :)
For the mean time, I’ll be posting this (c/o Kuya John - printed at the back of his shirt):
THREE
(I don’t know who the author is)
I think that I shall never see
A grade as lovely as a three
A three that’s earned with blood and sweat
When failing is a serious threat
A three I’ve asked for God all day
Knowing praying is the only way
Exams are taken by fools like me,
But only God can give a three.
~~~
I was dead tired last Saturday for trying to beat the Portfolio II deadline. I barely slept Friday night worrying about it and then I had to work on it the whole day Saturday. At exactly 4pm, my brain automatically shut down. I had no choice but to go home and prepare for the 6:30pm mass service and practice with the SFC.
I guess I have to say it here…
Natutuwa akong kasama sila. After a year and a half of living here in Bicutan, I found new friends and acquaintances. I am happy knowing them. :)
~~~
Yesterday, my boss gave me his opinion with regard to my joining SFC. According to him, I am shrinking my world by joining a community. I am not mad at him for saying those things. I know he meant well.
The thing is, my world is already small. You see, before I join them, I only know, more or less, 25 people here in Bicutan - 19 from the office and 6 in our neighborhood.
I am not making it small. I am in fact expanding it the best way, I think, possible.
~~~
With all these happening, I guess God wants me to focus more on Him and other things in life. Although not much have changed, I still am the little scattered-brain girl I used to be; I now know that life is bigger than what I perceived it to be. And as silly as it may sound, I think the universe is just waiting for me to be adventurous enough and see things for myself. :)
Nowadays, when people ask me, “How are you?”
I say to them, “I’m good.”
with a smile. :)
I am a little bit hopeful now.

Palm Sunday
Today is Palm Sunday.
It is the start of the Holy Week.
Ash Wednesday on the other hand is the start of Lent.
Yesterday, during the mass (and also this morning), a group of young people dramatized the passion of Jesus Christ from the time he was presented to Pilate up to the time his body was carried to the tomb.
It was a tear jerking play. No doubt people were touched. I had to prevent myself from shedding a tear because it would be too embarrassing to cry. But it hit hard.
I remember watching The Passion of The Christ a year ago. I acquired a copy of the said film probably months before I had the courage to watch it. That is how coward I was (am). I don’t want to see Him suffer because of my sins. But I am glad I did watch it.
The anguish of knowing that he would suffer physically, emotionally and spiritually made Him very human. And yet He accepted everything openheartedly. He could have just said: “I don’t want to” but because of His love for us, He said “thy will be done.” And up to this very moment we can still feel the power of these very precious words – the wonder of His saving grace.
~~~
Today is also Jena's Birthday. :)
Cheers to you my cousin!
Long life and more love ;)
Mwah!

Do you believe in angels?
I do.
And I also believe that they,
led by my beloved Anica,
are pampering me. :)

I HAVE A DREAM
by ABBA
I have a dream, a song to sing
To help me cope with anything
If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I’ll cross the stream - I have a dream
And I also believe that they,

The plain one
| You Are a Plain Ole Cup of Joe |
 But don't think plain - instead think, uncomplicated You're a low maintenance kind of girl... who can hang with the guys Down to earth, easy going, and fun! Yup, that's you: the friend everyone invites. And your dependable too. Both for a laugh and a sympathetic ear. |
Choosy - me?
| Men See You As Choosy |
 Men notice you light years before you notice them You take a selective approach to dating, and you can afford to be picky You aren't looking for a quick flirt - but a memorable encounter It may take men a while to ask you out, but it's worth the wait |
A lily
| You Are A Lily |
 You are a nurturer and all around natural therapist. People see you as their rock. And they are able to depend on you. You are a soothing influence. You can make people feel better with a few words. Your caring has more of an impact than even you realize. |
Mizpah
Julia A. Baker
Go thou thy way, and I go mine,
Apart, yet not afar;
Only a thin veil hangs between
The pathways where we are.
And "God keep watch 'tween thee and me";
This is my prayer;
He looks thy way, He looketh mine,
And keeps us near.
I know not where thy road may lie,
Or which way mine will be;
If mine will lead thro' parching sands
And thine beside the sea;
Yet God keeps watch 'tween thee and me,
So never fear;
He holds thy hands, He claspeth mine,"
And keeps us near.
Should wealth and fame perchance be thine,
And my lot lowly be,
Or you be sad and sorrowful,
And glory be for me,
Yet God keep watch 'tween thee and me;
Both be His care;
One arm round thee and one round me
Will keep us near.
I sigh sometimes to see thy face,
But since this may not be,
I'll leave thee to the care of Him
Who cares for thee and me.
"I'll keep you both beneath my wings,"
This comforts, dear; One wing o'er thee
and one o'er me,
Will keep us near.
And though our paths be separate,
And thy way is not mine,
Yet coming to the Mercy seat,
My soul will meet with thine.
And "God keep watch 'tween thee and me,"
I'll whisper there.
He blesseth thee, He blesseth me,
And we are near.

Natatawa naman ako sa text ng classmate ko kagabi. Sabi niya regarding our assignment due on Saturday:
Near midnight na siya nagtext. Morning ko nabasa kasi nakatulog na ako from watching too much TV. :) Fulfilled na yung “get enough rest” thingie. Actually, there’s no need to say that kasi tutulog talaga ako kahit ano pang mangyari. I really have no plans of doing my assignment hanggang bukas!
With regard to being silly … I think I am already doing that. The problem is hindi nga lang sometimes – lagi-lagi. :)
Cramming na naman bukas!
Kaya mo yan! Wala pa me nasisimulan eh. Take it easy. Get enough rest and be silly sometimes.

I am evil.
The source of it this morning.
I had my family quarreled because of me
and my stupid sense of time.
Hay...naku.
In the end, ako pa yung kabati nila,
sila makaka-away...
hay...
I don't know how to reconcile them.. :,(
