Title: to follow

I don't have the drive to write about anything these days.
More appropriately, I don't like my whines to take over this blog.
Kaya... Kakanta na lang muna ako.

"Be not afraid. I go before you always.
Come follow me, and I will give you rest."

Journey

Angela Zhang

It's a long long journey
Till I know whera I'm supposed to be
It's a long long journey
And I don't know if I can believe
When shadows fall and block my eyes
I am lost and know that I must hide
It's a long long journey
Till I find my way home to you

Many days I've spent
Drifting on through empty shores
Wondering what's my purpose
Wondering how to make me strong

I know I will falter I know I will cry
I know you'll be standing by my side
It's a long long journey
And I need to be close to you

Sometimes it feels no one understands
I don't even know why
I do the things I do
When pride builds me up till I can't see my soul
Will you break down these walls and pull me through

Cause It's a long long journey
Till I feel that I am worth the price
You paid for me on calvary
Beneath those stormy skies

When Satan mocks and friends turn to foes
It feel like everything is out to make me lose control
It's a long long journey
Till I find my way home to you.

I ask you... how?

“How do you pick up the threads of an old life? How do you go on, when in your heart you begin to understand there is no going back. There are some things that time can not mend. Some hurts that go too deep... that have taken hold.”

Circle of life

I am convinced that many times, in the course of our lives, God challenges us with a golden opportunity, a seemingly impossible hurdle, or a terrible tragedy . . . and how we react - or fail to react - determines the course of our future, almost as if we were involved in some sort of heavenly chess game... with our destiny always in the balance.

Remember this entry:

Hay… I've laid out my plans to Him. But it seems that He wants to make some revisions.

I prayed so hard for Him to give me a new job that would help me develop as a person.

Well... he gave me this:
A text message from Ms. Tata, my former immediate supervisor, that says:

Hi Guads! Are you happy with your work? Just thought you might want to go back to ---. I'm looking for a marketing and alumni relations' assistant. You might be interested.

If you saw me after I received this, you might conclude that I am really crazy. I cannot wipe the smile off my face! My thoughts? Grabe! God must be joking/teasing me. :)

It is as if, he just let me take another route that would just lead me back to the main road again. A complete circle - He made me smile.

After everything... hay... another move in the chessboard of life. I'm sure He is waiting for my next move. Well then Lord, lead the way!

I believe that each of us has a purpose to be fulfilled in life.

Arlene concluded that our purpose for each other is done.
We were given the chance to be housemates because almost two years ago, we each needed a friend for support.
We both lost a loved one.
Now that the initial shock is over, our purpose was served.
Thus, we will not be housemates any more. :)

So, good luck girl! :) Albeit still envious, I am very happy for you!

You’re going back. Complete the circle this time.

A journey to the recent past

Last night while watching the movie ‘Till there was you, a film that featured Piolo Pascual and Judy Ann Santos, I mentioned to Arlene that it had been almost three years since we first saw it.

I remember because I posted something about it in my other blog. To prove, I visited the site and copied this:

last thursday, arlene & i went out to watch “till there was you.”

the film can be considered as, if not great, a decent one as it, according to Arlene, “surpasses my expectation for a small laugh.”

the plot was simple and yet in every change of scene you’ll be expecting for more.

sobrang nakakatawa si judy-ann :) I don’t think anybody could portray Joanna’s role as effectively as she did - not even claudine (got to believe, 2002).

On the same page, I found this:

when a fire in a form of a water cannot quench the thirst of another fire, should they be separated?

what if the fire in the form of a water was left behind by the fire, will it die down on it's own?

or will it survive until another element comes along?

maybe…but not sure, never been and never will be.

Well, to put an end to the story, the fire left and the fire in the form of water found out the answer to her questions. I am pleased to inform you that she survived and is very much alive right now. :)

me...

sad. :'(

Green with envy

Waaaaaaaaa!
I don't care whether it's wrong to be jealous or not
but I have to say this...
Inggit ako ke Arlene!
Super inggit!
Waaaaaaaaaa!
She's going back to eLBi!
Why?! Oh why, am I not yet back to my beloved place?!
Everybody's finding a reason to go back!
Why coudn't I find one?
Bakit ako ndi pa rin???!
Waaaa! Inggit talaga ako...
:(

*hikbi*
