Do to others as you would have them do to you. [Luke 6:31]
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, lean not on your own understanding. [Proverbs 3:5]
Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. [Hebrews 11:1]

I'm Still Here...

not just in my blogging mode. You're not missing much. Attended a Mraz concert. Attended my Lola's funeral. Two different feelings. One quite glad. One very sad. Was late for a 6AM plane ride en route to Leyte last Sunday. Waited 7 [SEVEN] hours at the airport for the next scheduled flight at 1:30PM. Darn. Paid extra Php1,081.00 for coming in late. [make that double coz I also paid for my sister's ticket...] We got to Leyte at 3PM. In time for the mass. We made it to my Lola's funeral. I don't recommend not having sleep when attending a funeral. You tend to get VERY emotional. [or maybe it was just me....] I am such a cry baby. But I wasn't the only one crying at that time. May you rest in peace Lola....

Age Ain't Nothing...

but a number...I am 28 today. Darn. 28. I am that age. When I was younger, I thought 28 was old. But now that I am 28, it's NOT old at all. Or at least, my 28 is not old. A few cousins-in-law [is that how you say it?] of mine are hitting the big Four-Oh this year. I wonder how I'd feel when I reach that age. It's 12 years from now. Where will I be in 12 years? I hope I'll be happy and God-fearing/faithful wherever I may be.

And as for today, I am thankful and grateful to all the people I've met and shared my life with. My life had its ups and downs like most people do but I learned NOT to dwell on the negative aspects of my life. Or else, I'd just be miserable and disappointed and unhappy.

>> God has been really good to me and it took me awhile to finally realized it. [I need the occasional whacking-on-the-head...hehehe]
>> I've been lucky to not have been sick or ill in my 28 years of existence.
>> I've only had my heart broken once. [yeah, ain't that grand?]
>> I had two friends who became my ex-friends. [I'm not angry with them...I wish them well. I sometimes wonder how they are doing.]
>> Told a secret to three of my friends. [I'd like to think it made them understand me more or something.]
>> I still am not talkative. [errr...carrying a conversation is NOT one of my stronger points. I'm REALLY working on it. It's like my flaw, my friends have learned to accept it. I'm thankful for that. It's part of me.]
>> I still am looking or waiting for that someone who'll make my heart skip a beat or two. [I'm sure God will not make me unhappy in that area...hah!]
>> Meanwhile, I'm thanking everyone who'll greet me and give me gifts in advance.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> and I Thank YOU God for I'm still here right now. Alive and Well. Amen.

Friday Five...

1. Are you superstitious?
Not really.

2. What extremes have you heard of someone going to in the name of superstition?
When a female first get her monthly period, she must take 3 steps or jumps 3 steps, so, her period will only last 3 days. I don't really remember it too well. I didn't do it, so, I wouldn't know if it does work. [hehe]

3. Believer or not, what's your favorite superstition?
The one I mentioned above.

4. Do you believe in luck? If yes, do you have a lucky number/article of clothing/ritual?
Yes. Lucky number 6.

5. Do you believe in astrology? Why or why not?
Not a 100%. I do read them. When it's positive I take it but when it's negative, I just ignore it.

Doink...

I stayed home Thursday, thanks to my Uncle Boss for that. It's RED days for me. And I just don't like doing something or anything whenever I have my period. Stomach Cramps and Laziness looms. Darn. Why must we suffer from this pain every month? Guys are lucky in this area. Anyhoo, I did nothing but sleep and stay in bed. Which is good. I'm overslept now.

Also, I thought SURVIVOR was on a Thursday. I was so EXCITED about it and when I turned on the TV to Studio23...it's Classic TV showing...it made me worry for a bit. Texted someone and asked about the SURVIVOR sked. I got it wrong. Too much excitement. Hahaha.

My birthday is coming up. I'll be another year older. I've no plans for my birthday like always. I'm not a party person. I don't mind attending someone else's party but I don't really feel comfortable when it's a party for me. Surprise parties are alright. Planned ones are not. The last birthday party I had was when I turned 18. But my most memorable so far was when I turned 17, the year my highschool friends and I opened up to each other. It was a good time. The next day at school, we were still talking about it. Though, I am gonna do something different when I hit 30. I have a couple years to go to make that happen. Yeah.

There Are Times...

when I feel down for some reason or another. I sleep a whole lot. Though I feel like it's ok for me to sleep more because I don't get much sleep during the week. I don't recommend my sleeping habits to anyone. Sleeping makes you not think. Not function for a few hours. It's good from time to time. To shut out from your thoughts. Both good and bad. I still am struggling about my faith. I have a bible but haven't really read it yet. It was a birthday gift last year. It lifted my spirits when I got that bible. I told myself I'd start reading it this year. I haven't finished the book of Genesis yet. I got a Christmas present in the form of a mini-book called BIBLE: Clues For The Clueless, I love it. Been reading it. I'm halfway through. Many tips on how to go about in reading a bible. I should start using those tips. I hope HE won't give up on me even though I've gave up on him years ago.
