blessing vs. luck

I had an argument with Xave earlier on where to hear mass. We ended up in Christ the King, my choice. It’s solemn and I feel so close to Him when I’m there.

The homily was about REAL HUMILITY. According to the priest, we have to know what we have and what we can do to extend service to others. At the same time, know what we cannot do and what we do not have so we can trust in Him and be grateful. Vague as it seems, but I got the essence of it.

I have one question in mind, didn’t seek for an answer though. But I found it tonight.

God is so good. I never asked for this. Was thinking it was pure luck. No, it’s a blessing. I know what should be done… I always thank Him for my blessings and I know I have to share it to others.

party!

broken vow on a saturday night

Ohhh, I broke my promise. I got myself 4 cutie tops (read: must-have, can be used as inner blouses for my office attires…---do I need to justify further???) from Len and 3 broaches! And I want moooore. Uh well, it’s hard to control myself…I’m such an impulse buyer! It made me feel good though. =) Shopping makes me chirpy! *giggles* and wanna be happy all the time, why not?


Mark and Robert's bday party

Ferrule Libis: Good to see some friends again. Though the place was so smoky and stung my eyes, we stayed longer to bond with friends. It’s hard to complete the gang. Especially now that we are all busy with our own businesses. I’m starting to believe, we’re all getting old! Oops, we’re not getting any younger. Much better. *hahaha*

Jack’s Loft Eastwood: Had a few bottles with some other friends: Yayo, Mica, Kitine, Jojo, Rezel and Mike. Kitine and I wanted to talk for so long now, no chance. Jojo is always with us. I wish her all the best, and hoping that she can get through with “it”.

friday

I’ve realized, I need to update my wardrobe ASAP. This time, for office use. I never thought I’d still go back to work. I’ve disposed all my office attires so I have to invest on new ones again. It means I have to buy new suits, shoes, bags that I can use in the office for me to look mature, older, and wise. Hehehe. So I have to set my mind: No more casual outfits for the mean time! Okay??? *sob*

Went to Glorietta with Xave and got a new suit from The Black Shop. Nice, but it’s not enough. I have to buy more but I can’t find any other shops that carry the styles I like. =(

23 days to go…I still have lots of things to accomplish! Buys clothes, look for a new place to rent, pack things and move in. Argh! I need more time…

I met Len and Lizle in Metro Walk and had coffee. It was nice seeing them again. I missed them. I can say, we’re more beautiful now! *hahaha*

Mga Mare ko, let’s bond again more often.

July 10, Xave's bday party

kuya dick?

Asis, one of my best buds.

rainy days...

Make me feel so lazy. I don’t want to spend the rest of the day sleeping. I’ve had enough sleep last night. There’s nothing good to do but to grab a book and read, especially now that the power goes off frequently. I decided to continue this one book I left long ago---In the Presence of my Enemies by Gracia Burnham. I’m on my last few chapters. I think 3 more chapters to go. I hope to finish it later before I doze off. I still have 2 books lined-up. I wanted to finish all before I start going to work. Hehe.

I visited my dermatologist earlier and had my facial. A must do for me monthly. I waited for 2hrs. It was worth it! I feel cleansed.

Visited Michelle and borrowed her digicam. I will bring it this Saturday, Robert’s birthday party. Michelle and Don couldn’t make it. I want to capture some pics to put in my album.

Michelle, don’t worry. Your cam is in goooood hand! =) By the way, I’ve uploaded my pics na. It was as easy as puffing a cig! *wink* bwahahaha!

I’m having my tea now. I skipped on it this morning for a taho---one of the many things that remind me of my childhood. I don’t eat breakfasts, I just need something hot on mornings, or else my stomach will grumble. Drinking something hot helps me boom easily. I need a cigarette…

my birthday

I had a simple celebration. On the eve of my birthday, we hung out at Michelle's place. Boys had their usual drinking session, while Michelle and I just food tripped. Most of the time I was in front of the computer, making my blog. Well, I find this blogger really dependable.=)

Xave and I enjoyed singing in the car on our way home. It was the Aiza Seguerra's version of How Did You Know. We repeated the track for several times until we arrived home.

On my birthday, I heard mass with Xave and enjoyed the spaghetti, cake and ice cream afterwards. Again, the boys had their drinks. I have to commend Asis for paying a surprise visit. I was touched especially upon seeing him so tired from work. For the record, it was past 11pm when he came. Asis, thanks! =) Tama na sumbat ha!

beyond belief

I can't believe it's almost a year since I left HP. Feels like it's only a month. =) I've learned so much since the day I left work. I needed it. No regrets, I'm happy. I had enough time to find myself, know what I want and what matters most.

And I can't believe I'm 27 now! Feels like I'm just 20. *laughs* Seriously, I'm proud to say that I don't look my age. =) With the way I dress and move I can pass to be a teen! I like wearing clothes in colors. One thing I have to give up on going back to the corporate world. I have to look my age this time, for me to look credible to the people I deal with. So, I'm gonna start to be a lifeless girl again (hopefully in terms of dressing up only) =( Wearing safe colors like black, brown, blue, beige...boring!!! Good thing we have wash days every Friday.

25 days to go...and I will embrace change again. It's a mixed emotion, actually. A bit sad, because I have to leave Xave behind to take care of our biz all by himself. (read: he'll be staying in Bataan, me in Manila) I can feel the excitement also, this is something different for me to try. I know this is one thing we have to do for us to grow more; extend our networks; help others in anyway we can.

guess what???
