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]

Can you say p.i.? I CAN...

[Doctora, Me, Eeee, Miss M and Rico]
  • This pic was taken early Saturday morning...VS with the gurls. That adorable Golden Retriever goes by the name of Rico. He's wearing an old baseball shirt of her Mommie and can you see the bracelet he's wearing too? Cuteness. We had fun. It's quite obvious with all the smiles no? That gave us away.

  • [SisterM with Rix and Bob.]
  • On a quite serious note, SisterM was supposed to leave for Dubai at 6am today but due to some unforseen circumstances the Philippine Immigration asked for some other documents that they didn't have with them at that time. My sister's group were asked to have the identification [of the person in Dubai, their employer] be sent via fax to the Immigration office. What's soooo bogus was, the Philippine Immigration DIDN'T have fax paper. The PI [Philippine Immigration] told them that they will have to request for fax paper. That will take awhile. They were also told if they could have it sent to some other fax machine. Sheeet. What's up with that? How can you be an office without a fax paper? Anyhoo, long story short, my sister's group of 9 didn't make the flight. They're luggages and such were already checked in btw. That took a while in getting it checked out. The flight was delayed coz of that. My oh My. Their contact person here was fuming mad...one simple thing...they could have let them leave the country. And then, just waited for that darn FAXED identification at the Dubai Immigration. They could ask them to go back here if they still have doubts no? Man. SisterM also told us that some of the PI personnel acted as if they were not fellow Filipinos. Don't you just hate it when some people power-trip? Grrrrr. Luke 6:31 to you. Later tonight, my sister's group will know if they will be leaving or not today. Just waiting for that darn faxed document and their new tickets.
  • Oh well. Should we leave or just grin and bear the ways things done here in our country? It's no wonder [at all] that a lot [millions] of our fellow Pinoys get out of here when they have the chance. I want to get out too. In time. But my reason is not for work though...it's for something else much more important. Hmmmmm.

  • [Laney]
  • Habberday to you...Habberday...Habberday...Habberday to you. Hope you're haffee today and always. You sooo deserve it. Will give you Mr. Bedhead when I find him...okies?
  • A bit from my chat with NG last night:
    Me (12:07:49 AM): how about you? ready for a change? like having me around for the rest of your life?
    NG (12:08:13 AM): been ready for that all my life, just did not know it
    Me (12:08:20 AM): mmmm...really?
    NG (12:08:52 AM): Yeps...just took you to make me really complete
    Me (12:09:04 AM): [insert happy smiley here]
    NG (12:10:19 AM): You are around as best as can be...but I really can't wait till I can reach out to you in person and say everything that I want to say.
    Me (12:10:40 AM): ditto...haaay....
    Me (12:10:45 AM): [insert happy smiley here]
    NG (12:11:43 AM): That's what we need V...that in person thing that will allow that, we don't do too bad now...just longing for the time when I can say it WITH you
    Me (12:12:04 AM): I know...
    NG (12:13:06 AM): Sigh....wish I could be there...
    [ok, can I BE anymore speechless? ... hmmm ... I type fast and I tend to "talk" a lot on chat but there are times like last night that I can't seem to say anything but sigh.]
  • Last one for now...NG guessed right on one topic we were talking about...I asked him if he wants a prize...he replied...My prize??...well i get that daily just by having you in my life, so I should not ask for anything more, I am already blessed :) and another one ...but you were the big motivator here, just as it will be for the rest of my life :) [that's it I'm done...words...such wonderful comforting words...they make men really endearing no? And I'm more for words...than actions really...so, that's that.]
  • Anyhoo, gotta go for now. Leaving you with: God's love cannot be explained --- it can only be experienced.
  • Have a fine week ya'll. Keep the faith. God Bless us always.
  • Thursday, May 26, 2005

    Awwww...really now...

  • When someone says you are my everything ... and you deserve the best and giving you that is my lifelong goal... hmmm ... how do you react to that? No one has said those words to me before so ... it was rather overwhelming ... very overwhelming. Can I BE any more speechless? I have my faith. It will see me through. God has my back. Something that feels this great can't be wrong, right?
  • Have a fine Friday. I'm sure I'll have a good one. VS with the EBC gurls. The last VS was back in February me thinks. We all need a VS.
  • Ok, gotta go for now. Leaving you with this passage:
    Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in GOD. [John 14:1]
  • Keep the faith. God Bless us always.
  • Monday, May 23, 2005

    Hmmmm....

  • How are you all doing? Hope you're feeling good.
  • I feel good, most of the time. Yep, complaints here and there, I could be a whiner [though, I do it SILENTLY...ano kaya yon?]
  • I do lotsa things in silence. I'm a silent person. Silence is good most of the time.
  • It's 5:30am on the comp monitor, just waiting for someone to get online for a quickie chat before I start my work day.
  • I don't have to leave 'til 8am, I have time to update this blog of mine.
  • Monday at work went fast. Paperwork all day. Had to go to our client's office around 3pm. Then to the bank. Then passed by BOOKSALE.
  • Yes, told myself will not buy anything but wasn't able to resist one book. Simplify Your Life : 100 Ways To Slow Down and Enjoy the Things That Really Matter Will read it after I've finished Have Your Wedding Cake and Eat it Too, which I have to say is an interesting fun read. Might finish the book by this week. Who knows? I'm such a slow reader.
  • I just yawned. Why is yawning contagious btw?
  • I want a vacation. Just bed time. Lots of it.
  • When someone asks for your ring size? How will you respond to it? Hmmm ... I did it by asking for his ring size too. Teehee. I'm a 7 1/2 btw. I didn't know that 'til last Friday. I'm not really into jewelries. So, a ring would be nice no? I had a ring once but I lost it. It had my birthstone on it. I don't like flashy rings. The ones that attracts attention. None of that for me. Those eternity rings in diffirent colors are cool. Way cool. Saw one at SilverWorks. Sisters and I told ourselves we'll each get one when we have the extra cash. Identical rings with my sisters. Coolness.
  • Ok, will end this one for now, leaving you with a short daily prayer from my short daily prayers that Tita Tess gave me a year ago. Byeee for now. Thanks for reading. Keep the faith. God Bless us always.
  • I thank You Lord for giving us Your Word, the Bible which has priceless promises, great beyond measure - promises that apply to Your work in me, in my loved ones, in my situation, in my service, and in the whole world ... and not one single word of Your good promises has ever failed. No human problems is impossible for You nor too hard for You! [2 Peter 1:4; Jeremiah 32:17,27]

    TV Land...

  • Wouldn't you wanna see this guy on TV every week? I would. Desperate Housewives starts May 26 on Studio23. Yeeha.

  • "There's no way you can know everything about someone, that's what keeps it interesting..." [not EXACTLY how the line went but that's how I remember it from last night's THE OC]

  • Queer Eye is on its new season too. Kyan and Jai...hummina hummina...makes you forget they're not straight men, good looking men on TV, ALWAYS a plus. Yep, I'm shallow like that.

  • Sawyer [Josh Holloway] on LOST is one hummina guy too. Yep, he's quite the baddie on the show but he's mighty fine looking me thinks.

  • Amazing Race 7 winners, Uchenna and Joyce. They played fair throughout the race me thinks. They so deserved to win. I even got teary eyed when the reached the finish line. Yep. I'm not taking my TV seriously no? Hehehe.
  • On the homefront, money matters nowadays. Haaaay. When will this ever end? Well, I just keep in mind, God will not give us something we can't bear right? RIGHT! Just trying to be positive about it. If I dwell, the more I'd feel bad about it. I'm more blessed than most people, I know that. So, I'll try to keep the whining to a minimum. Hehehe.
  • Passed by BOOKSALE yesterday, was able to resist the magazines, though, I did get one book, entitled: Having your wedding cake and eating it too ... cute. Caught my attention. I think it's about cake and such. Hehehe. Humor is good. Haven't read it yet but I will.
  • Been reading the Bible everyday since last week, just thought I'd make a habit of it. One week and I've been good at reading. Highlighting passages that catch my attention. The last time, I highlighted a line or two from a book was back in HS. It's all good. I'm not that religious or I'm not trying to be. Just something I have to do to get to know more about God in my own little way. I want to quote some passages that I really like aside from Luke 6:31 but will save that for a later post.
  • Ok, gotta end this one for now. Catch you again next time. Thanks for visiting. Keep the faith ya'll. God Bless us all.

    WOWness ...

  • Happy Mother's Day to all mothers out there.
  • From Yahoo horoscope: If anyone accepts change easily, it's you -- regardless of what type of change it happens to be, and how or when it's due to arrive. So hearing that a major shift in your life's circumstances is just around the corner won't frighten you at all. You'll be exhilarated. If a family member doesn't greet the news with that same degree of enthusiasm, however, do what you can to help them adjust. Assure them that nothing but the best is en route. It's the truth.
  • 2800 e-mails from NG as of last night. [first e-mail dates back to December 17, 2004] He said: That many mails huh?...can I say holy shit?...hehe...that's insane, I never figured I would talk to anyone that much...lol. Wow...I be stunned :) And I am stunned too. That's excluding the real-time chats and e-cards and snail cards. My gulay.
  • Was in bed all day. Haaaay. Even the hot weather didn't get in the way of me zzzzing from 9am-ish til about 5pm-ish. Hehehe. So lazeee to do anything today. I didn't even get around to soaking my undies. Yipes. Tomorrow, I will. I handwash my undies. I like doing it. Nothing beats clean undies esp. knowing that you washed them.
  • After shower at 7pm-ish, I just stayed in the room and look for wisdom from the Bible. I found what I needed. Haaaay. Thank You God. Also, I found out if you read the passages aloud, it becomes clearer in some way. One friend told me the other day that she noticed that I'm becoming religious as the days go by. Was it coz of NG she asked? Well, I told her that I've been working on my faith for years now. And it's not easy. I'm improving. I'm not so uncomfy wishing people God Bless and other words that I think/feel is appropriate in a given moment. I know that I have lots of learning to go through when it comes to God and the Bible. I feel I'm on the right track though. Yeaah. All in God's time. I'll be a good follower in His eyes. Pardon me if I sound a bit preachy but that's how I feel. And I feel GREAT.
  • Keep the faith. Happy Sunday. Weekend is almost over once again. Haaaay. God Bless us always.

    Sisters...

    Since...not much going on around here...thought, I'd post my sisters picture. They were goofin' around the other night. Going crazy with a borrowed digicam. Luckily, they didn't take a picture of me while I was zzzzing. Good sisters eh? Well...they have their moments. We all get along most of the time. I get along with them most of the time. They don't get along with each other most of the time. Hehehe. But all in all. We are doing alright. Indeed. It's just a matter of give and take. In our case, I'd have to be the one who gives in...most of the time. That's part of being the oldest [eldest?] one, I guess. No major complaints so far. More of them in the future.

    Gilmore Girls...


    Rory: Mom?
    Lorelai: Oh.
    Rory: You're happy.
    Lorelai: Yeah.
    Rory: Did you do something slutty?
    Lorelai: I'm not that happy.
    =========
    Luke: Rory's not here yet.
    Lorelai: Then you'll have to entertain me until she arrives. Okay Burger boy, dance.
    Luke: Will you marry me?
    [Lorelai is taken aback]
    Luke: Just looking for something to shut you up.
    ===========
    Sookie: What's going on?
    Lorelai: Michel's gonna live forever.
    Sookie: Like the kids from 'Fame'?
    Lorelai: That's what I said.
    ==========
    Lorelai: Hey, I have kind of a crazy idea.
    Rory: Those are never comforting words coming from you.
    ==========
    Lorelai: Hey, you didn't wake me up.
    Rory: I set the clock.
    Lorelai: Yes, but see, the clock stops ringing once I throw it against the wall giving me ample time to fall back to sleep. You, however, never stop yapping no matter how hard I throw you, thus insuring the wake up process.
