Girl on the Move

We're moving away from our home temporarily for one month. This is due to the major renovations that will be done to our deteriorating and overly decaying home (too old that it looks like a haunted house to some) next week. Because of this, there will be an awful lot of things that I'm surely gonna miss. Here's my list:

1. My Stuffed Toys (obviously, I'm not allowed to bring them all)
2. My old lumpy but comfy bed (I do hope we'll be able to bring this one)
3. Fresh air (We live in a very nature-friendly environment that's why I'm kinda used to it. So I do hope that we'll live in a close-to-nature place like that too.)
4. My computer...and probably (sniff, sniff!) my dsl
5. My study table and all the things that are in it.
6. La Mesa Ecopark (waaah!!! no more fitness trails...)
7. The whole bunch of kids in the neighborhood (they all look cute to me!)
8. The clean, pure and abundant drinking water (I'm very cautious on this one)
9. Our whole house in general.


FYI: This will be my first time to move in a different place. I do hope I'll like it in our temporary home. I also wish that I wouldn't get lost every time I go home because as far as I've known myself, I truly don't have any sense of direction. Wish me luck then! hahaha!


My mom said that she already found the perfect home...I wonder what it looks like?

It's hard teaching old folks new tricks
My mom asked me or rather implored me to teach her how to use the yahoo messenger.

Well, that's new....I think, for some non-techie exec like her.

I was quite tempted to congratulate her of some sort but was plagued with conscience anyway for the last minute because I felt that she'll take it as some sort of sarcasm.

So even if I was busy doing some light reading, (people who know me can attest that I don't want anyone bothering me whenever I'm reading) I was forced to stop and teach her the basics of YM.

Anyway, it's hard to explain my teaching experience with her. Maybe if you'll look at the picture below you'll see what I mean. Haha!


So now I'm being mean. Anyway, I must say that although she was being quite impatient and too inquisitive to handle, she still managed to learn a lot, and fast.

And although she literally disturbs me every now and then with my reading to ask for some questions and also to read her messages (because for the NTH time, she left her glasses again in her office), teaching her something new was quite worth it.

It was quite a change, I must say, from the usual mother-as-the-teacher type.

And I can help but to say that I'm proud of her.


Bravo Mom!


Haha! (^^,)

Changes...
Starting today, I will post all of my personal and important blog entries here at blogger whereas those unimportant ones goes to my multiply. I'll be updating ang posting more often here so expect a more prolific writer from now on. I don't want to share my pensive thoughts anymore in my multiply because of those people I know but do not trust who might read it. Blogger's safer because only a few knows my site. Hope everything will go well in this site. Ciao!

Waiting for the time to come
"Love is patient and kind; it is not jealous or conceited or proud; love is not ill-mannered or selfish or irritable; love does not keep a record of wrongs; love is not happy with evil, but is happy with the truth. Love never gives up; and its faith, hope and patience never fail." - 1Corinthians: 4-7

***
He's a boy and she's a girl
They're friends but not too close
She secretly likes him
for he is what she's looking for
and everything that she can't be

She's always there to support him
in all his endeavors, weaknesses and success
They're always together, night and day
and even though he isn't aware of what she feels
she doesn't care as long as she's with him

But then as time passes by,
it gets harder for her to keep her secret
it becomes a burden
especially when he's all she sees at day
and dreams at night
but still she keeps it all to herself
because she believes
that love need not be forced or hurried
it just comes in due time
and up until then,
she waits,
and will continue to wait,
even if it takes all of the time she has,
for love...

A Life-turning Event that's just 2 Weeks away
Time runs so fast. It's like a roller coaster ride that follows the path of its rails in a speedy, heart-stopping motion.

It is only at the beginning where you'll feel like it's a bit slow, like an old turtle trudging on a hill. But after that, a new feeling will generate on your body like a cold breeze slapping through your skin as its speed progresses.

Like a roller coaster ride, my life too has started to change.

I can say that I am now an arms length to the realization of my dreams.

I am almost a college student.

With only two weeks left before my most awaited day, excitement and happiness are not the only things that I feel right now.


There is also fear and anxiety.

Many people say that College Life is better compared to High School.


Yes it is, because as College students we are given more freedom and responsibilities because it is believed that we are more mature and responsible than our highschool counterparts.

That's why it's also TOUGH.


When we ended our highschool life a few months or a few years back, we unconciously opened another door leading us to College life. And like I said, since it is expected that we are already mature and responsible individuals it is only right that we conquer and succeed in this life so that we may be eligible in entering the next cycle of our lives which is I think is called adulthood.

So here I am, two weeks away before the start of what I can consider as another great adventure to the unknown. Like Oddyseus, Jason and other great adventurers of the Roman and Greek Mythology, I may face uncertainties and dangers lurking in the darkest shadows along the way. But like them, I too shall fight bravely in the best of my capabilities and shall not rest until I have conquered my dreams and reached my goals.

When Darkness Prevails...
These past few days, I noticed that I am being consistently plagued with problems by God.

First, there were these big family problems. And a few weeks after, there came this also big financial problem. And as if that wasn't enough, God sent me this GIFT personally -a sickness, that I think will cost me 6 months of pain and suffering if confirmed.

It's not that I'm complaining. Because I certainly am not.


As a matter of fact, it only made my life more interesting.


And it also made me amused with Him.


I was thinking about these things the other day.


I was contemplating about everything while finding desperate answers to the many questions that keeps on pestering my humble head day and night.

"What went wrong?"

"Why did it happen?"

"Why did it all have to happen at the same time, especially to me?"

Things like that.

And as if to answer my queries, I remembered a proverbial saying in the bible.

It goes like this: "Gold and silver are tested by fire, and a person's heart is tested by the Lord" (Proverbs 17:3)

And then it suddenly occured to me that maybe, God was thinking that I am living a very dull life because I already have everything in this world so it left me with nothing to worry about.

No doubt about it because what he's thinking is true. (two thumbs up)

So I feel very honored because I learned that God's favorites are the only ones who are always burdened with problems and trials. And the reason why he's doing this is because he wants to purify our heart and soul more, to make it a more suitable place for him to live.

So it means that I'm one of His favorites! Wow.

Isn't it amazing?


So here's my little advice to you: Whenever you feel depressed because of your many problems, think of it the way that I did. Maybe it's God's way of telling you that you are special to him and the reason why he's doing it is because he wants you to be a more pleasing sight, so that your heart can be an ideal place for him to live forever. Wonderfu, isn't it?

Quote for the Day:
"In the words of a Persian Sage: Love is a disease no one wants to get rid of. Those who catch it never try to get better, and those who suffer do not wish to be cured."
