Woooow. How Long Has It Been?

And yes, still with the same question... HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN -- SINCE I LAST WROTE HERE??? Na-miss ko 'to grabe. Many many many maaaaany things happened from my last blog post. Super happy, super sad, super elating, super depressing.

I now have the time to write again. Don't ask. I'm just glad I have the time to be here again.

Dear Blog, how can I forget that you take stress away? That you preserve happy thoughts for me? I guess I was just swallowed whole by the crazy whirl of events that I forgot about how good it is to write here. To share things with you. To share it to the world. I'm bad, huh? Sorry. Really sorry. Truthfully, I'm really happy I'm back to writing here. I'm back to sharing my life to you... to the world.

You know what I'm going through now. You know I need you more than ever. You know I need HIM more than anything else. Wooow. Woooow talaga yung mga nangyari this week. Wow lang talaga. Still speechless. Still in shock.

In spite of the tremors, I received so many words of encouragement from random people. Amazing. Amazing how He works His magic. And I mean --- AMAAAAAZING.

1. Pursue things that deliver. ♥ -- From the Facebook application God Wants You To Know.

On this day, God wants you to know ... that the world never delivers on its promises. Make more money and you'll be happier, get a bigger house and you'll feel satisfied, buy fancier clothes and people will admire you - the materialist's mantra. But there is always a bigger house, someone making more money and a new style that makes your expensive wardrobe obsolete. Pursue things that deliver: take care of each other, love one another and believe in God. These are things that deliver, and that's a promise.

2. Wisdom is oftentimes acquired when we stumble, not when we succeed. Our defeats leave us wiser than our triumphs. By faith, we live. By love, we serve. By patience, we understand. By trials, we gain wisdom. By sharing, we give joy. ♥ ♥ ♥ -- From Mom, texted by Tito Paco.

3. I wasn't created to fall. WOOOOW. WOW. WOW. ♥ -- From God Wants You To Know again.

On this day, God wants you to know ... that you weren't created to be a failure. Sure some things may not have worked out and there have been some disappointments. But all these things helped guide you in a direction that was meant for you. Your life has purpose and significance. Try to be patient if it isn't all crystal clear just yet. For now, just know that you weren't created to fail.

4. Your ANGEL Name is Micah. -- From another Facebook application What Is Your Angel Name?

MICAH: Angel of the Divine Plan - Watches over spiritual evolution and reveals the next steps of our path.

5. When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you, but merely opening and freeing your hand to receive something better. ♥ ♥ ♥ -- An email from my uncle, Tito Art.

See??? Seeeeee???? AMAAAAAZING TALAGA!

Hay. Trials, trials, trials. But I know I can get through this. I know I can because He will make a way. He will make a way where there seems to be no way. I firmly believe He will... He will.

And yes, it's a YDWTL weekend again. I will see You, Lord. I will be with You.

Basta Ikaw kakayanin ko. Basta Ikaw titiisin ko. Basta Ikaw maniniwala ako. Basta Ikaw maninindigan ako. Basta Ikaw kahit ano pa yan.

BASTA IKAW.

Hail To The Council!

Oo. Nagkita-kita din tayo! Hahaha!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CHEF SHAR!

Yes, we saw each other not only once this year, but twice! Twice!!! That's record-breaking! Hahaha!

CONGRATS, ATTY. PAPUZ!!!!

Looking forward to the bar opening! Aims and Mean, don't let us down! Hahaha!

And yes, we are now official called The Council. Sobrang dalang ng meetings ha! Kailangan din worthy ang mga additions to the Council! Buti na lang kasama na ko kundi wala akong pag-asa masali dito! Hahaha!

The Council. I love it! Otherwise called The Chinese Mafia! Hahaha! Simon! Don't forget the coordinating outfit next year ah! Para walang dadating as Chris Brown! (Ehem Markie!) Hahaha!

Actually, what I just wanted to say was... NA-MISS KO KAYO!!!!!!!!! Hahaha! Council-council pa, yun lang pala! Glad we're seeing each other often na (naks, assuming ako!)... Woot woot!

Books Galore, Boys Galore

Not quite the book galore I wanted but I got four paperbacks yesterday. :-) Happiness.

I got boys! I bought Percy and John!





Percy Jackson and the Olympians Book 1, 3 and 4. I know, kulang pa... still scouting... Also looking for the boxed set of Percy.

Bought Dear John too. Finally! My own copy! :-)

Wanna go home early, wanna read. :-)

Percy (No, Not Meris) Jackson

I was on summer offset yesterday. Markie and I met to watch Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief. (Yes, that IS the complete title. Haha!)

Thanks to MPass we got goooood seats! :-)


I SOOO ENJOYED IT!!! IT WAS GOOD! The special effects were great! :-) And since we're both geeks, major review kami ng Greek mythology... major mention pa ng Roman counterparts. Haha!

But the funnest and funniest part was the Cold Rock encounter. The guy attendant was just waaaaay too ma-chika for me to handle! :-))



I got Ferrero with Reese and Markie got Cheesecake with Boysenberry (Lasang pintura, dude? Hahaha!)


I expressed na sana pwedeng ibang flavors for their ice cream sandwich and he said, without much truth and sorrow in his voice, "I wish I could do something about it!" BWAHAHAHA!!!! Nanahimik na lang ako baka kung ano pa masabi ko! Hahaha!

Oh and yes, there's another fun part! During the movie when Percy used water to douse the multi-headed dragon but spared the pearl from being wet, I whispered to Markie, "Grabe! God-godan talaga!" And he burst out laughing and repeatedly said, "God-godan talaga!" BWAHAHA! Ang kulet mo, pare!

Oh well, we may be the only ones who can relate to the anecdote but these really made us laughing off our seats! :-))

And not to mention, we got a kick from our Fortune Cookie!



Fortune Cookie from Taters


Mine said: You will only understand why your parents act the way they do when you become one. Ang hirit ni Markie??? "Reich, parang may kulang na step. Find a husband?" HAHAHA! Theeeenkyousooomuch for pointing it out! Darn you! Hahaha! :-))

Til our next movie escapade, pare! :-) Ano nga yun? Valentine's Day... otherwise called Love-Lovan. Hahahahaha!!!! :-))

My Valentine

MCDO!!! Sus! Ang corny! Hahahaha! But I don't care, marami naman kami! Hahaha! Damay-damay lang! :-))

Mike and I had another food trip. Still Jap though. Haha! We tried out Rai Rai Ken.



We both loved what we ordered -- Crunchy Salmon Roll and Garlic Chili Ramen. :-)
